Kcmind �orkcrs during subcontractor or safcty mcetings about proper storagc and handling of materials. <br /> �-2.1.2 BMP G.20 HANDLING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS <br /> Pctrolcum products are widely uscd during construction activities. These pollutants includc oEls, gasoline, diesel -- <br /> oil, kerosenc, lubricating oils,and grcase. 7'hcy are used as fuels and lubricants for vehicular operetions,pawcr <br /> tools, and general equipment maintenancc. Most of these pollutants easily adhere to soil partides. <br /> Thc following are guidelines for prcvcnting pollution from petroleum products on construction sites: <br /> - Store peVoleum pruducts properly <br /> - Adcquately mainein vehides and hcavy equipment <br /> - Dispose of oil and oily wastes properly(call 1-800-RECYCLE) <br /> - Retain oil contaminated sediment on-site through the use of erosion and sediment convol BMPs <br /> Guidelines for storing petroleum products are as follows: <br /> - Storc products in weather-resistant sheds wherc possible,or providc cover and wind protection around <br /> storage arcas. Line storage areas with doublc layers of plastic sheeting or a similar matcrial. ;tegulariy <br /> monitor nll storage sheds,dumpstcrs, or othcr storage facilities for lcaks and repair them as necessar��. <br /> - Geate impervious bertns around the perimeter of storage areas(the capaciry of bermed areas should bc <br /> ] 10 percent of the largest container or 100%of thecontamed volume, whichcver is¢reatest). <br /> - Label all products clearly. <br /> - Keep tanks off the ground. <br /> .� <br /> - Securely fasten lids. <br /> - Post information for procedures in case of spills. Persons trained in handling spills should be on-site or <br /> on call at all times. Keep materials for cleamng up spills on-site easily availablc. Clcan up spills <br /> irrmedietelv and dispose ofthe contaminated material properly. <br /> - Specify a staging area for all vehicle maintenance activities. Locate this area away from all drainage <br /> courses. <br /> - Remind workors during subcontractor or safety meetings about proper storage and handling of matcrials. <br /> 42.13 BNII' C1.30 NUTRIENT APPLICATION AND CONTROL I <br /> Inorganic nutrient pollution is most often caused by fertilizers uscd in revegetating graded areas. Proper soil- I <br /> stabili7ation measures, sediment control, and stortnwater detention structures should be used to keep thesc <br /> materials out of watenvays. <br /> Nutrient pollution can bc minimizcd by working fertilizers and liming materials into the soil to depths of 4 to 6 <br /> inches,and by proper timing of the applicatioa Control of nutricnts can be achieved by applying thc required <br /> quantity of fertiliur in more than one operation. Hydro-seeding produces more nuuient polluticn thsn <br /> conventional seedbed preparation operations. <br /> Use of fcrtilizers containing little or no phosphorus may be requircd by the Cih� if thc devclopment is near <br /> sensitivc water bodies, In any event,cam should be taken to use only the minimuni amount of phosphorus <br /> needed, as determincd by soil tests or advice from the local Conservation District or Soil Conservation Servicc <br /> � <br /> 4-'_-2 <br />
