BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment <br />Purpose Prevent, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of pollutants from <br />material delivery and storage to the stormwater system or <br />watercourses by minimizing the storage of hazardous materials <br />onsite, storing materials in a designated area, and installing <br />secondary containment. <br />Conditions of Use <br />Design and <br />Installation <br />Specifications <br />These procedures are suitable for use at all construction sites with <br />delivery and storage of the following materials: <br />• Petroleum products such as fuel, oil and grease <br />• Soil stabilizers and binders (e.g. Polyacrylamide) <br />• Fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides <br />• Detergents <br />• Asphalt and concrete compounds <br />• Hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, adhesives, paints, solvents <br />and curing compounds <br />• Any other material that may be detrimental if released to the <br />environment <br />The following steps should be taken to minimize risk: <br />• Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic, <br />near the construction entrance(s), and away ftom waterways or storm <br />drains. <br />• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all <br />materials stored. Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled <br />containers. <br />• Hazardous material storage on-site should be minimized. <br />• Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible. <br />• During the wet weather season (Oct 1— April 30), consider storing <br />materials in a covered area. <br />• Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen <br />dike, horse trough, or even a children's wading pool for non-reactive <br />materials such as detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small amounts of <br />material may be secondarily contained in "bus boy" trays or concrete <br />mixing trays. <br />• Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the <br />ground. Place these items on a pallet and, when possible, in secondary <br />containment. <br />February 2005 Volume N— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 4-45 <br />
