S424 BMPs for Roof / Building Drains at <br /> Manufacturing and Commercial Buildings <br /> Description of Pollutant Sources: Stormwater runoff from roofs and sides of manufacturing and <br /> commercial buildings can be sources of pollutants caused by leaching of roofing materials, paints, <br /> caulking, building vents, and other air emission sources. Research has identified vapors and <br /> entrained liquid and solid droplets/particles as potential pollutants in roof/building runoff. Metals, <br /> solvents, acidic/alkaline pH, BOD, PCBs, and organics are some of the pollutant constituents iden- <br /> tified. <br /> Ecology has performed a study on zinc in industrial stormwater. The study is presented in Sugges- <br /> ted Practices to Reduce Zinc Concentrations in Industrial Storm water Discharges(Ecology, 2008). <br /> The user should refer to this document for more details on addressing zinc in stormwater. <br /> Pollutant Control Approach: Evaluate the potential sources of stormwater pollutants and apply <br /> source control BMPs where feasible. <br /> Applicable Operational Source Control BMPs: <br /> . If leachates and/or emissions from buildings are suspected sources of stormwater pollutants, <br /> then sample and analyze the stormwater draining from the building. <br /> . Sweep the area routinely to remove any residual pollutants. <br /> . If a roof/building stormwater pollutant source is identified, implement appropriate source con- <br /> trol measures such as air pollution control equipment, selection of materials, operational <br /> changes, material recycle, process changes, etc. <br /> Applicable Structural Source Control BMPs: <br /> . Paint/coat the galvanized surfaces as described in Suggested Practices to Reduce Zinc Con- <br /> centrations in Industrial Stormwater Discharges(Ecology, 2008). <br /> Applicable Treatment BMPs: <br /> Treat runoff from roofs to the appropriate level. The facility may use Enhanced Treatment BMPs as <br /> described in III-1.2 Choosing Your Runoff Treatment BMPs. Some facilities regulated by the Indus- <br /> trial Stormwater General Permit, or local jurisdiction, may have requirements than cannot be <br /> achieved with Enhanced Treatment BMPs. In these cases, additional treatment measures may be <br /> required.A treatment method for meeting stringent requirements such as Chitosan-Enhanced Sand <br /> Filtration may be appropriate. <br /> Ps for Wood Treatment Areas <br /> Description of Pollutant Source . treatmen ' s oth anti-staining and wood pre- <br /> serving using pressure processes or b or s ood preservatives include creosote, <br /> creosote/coal tar, penta enol, copper naphthenate, arsenic alathion, or inorganic <br /> arsenical s chromated copper arsenate, acid copper chromate, chromate zin • and <br /> 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume IV- Chapter 7-Page 592 <br />
