Remind workers during subcontractor or safeC� meetings about proper storage ar,d handling of materials. d-2.1.2 Bi�iP C1.20 HAlYDLING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS Petroleum products are widely used during construction activities. These pollutants in:lude oils, gasoline, diesel nil, kerosene, lubricating oils, and grease. They are used as fuels and lubricants for vehicular operations, power tools, and general equipment maintenance. Most of these poilutants easily adhere to soil particles. The following are guidelines for preventing pollution from petroleum products on construction sites: - S.ore petroleum products properly - Adeq�!ately maintain vehicles and heavy equipment - Dispose of oil and oily wastes properly (call 1-800-RECYCLE) - Retain oil contaminated sediment on-site through the use of erosion and sediment control BN[Ps Guidelines for storing petroleum products are as follows: - Store products in weather-resistant sheds where possible, or provide cover and wind protection around storage areas. Line storage areas with double layers of plastic sheeting or a similar material. Regularly monitor all storage sheds, dumpsters, or other storage facilities for leaks and repair them as necessary. - Create impervious berms around the perimeter of storage areas (the capacity of bermed areas should be 1 I O percent of the largest container or 100% of the contained volume, whichever is greatest). - Label all products clearly. - Keep tanks off the ground. - Securely fasten lids. - Post infortnation for procedures in case of spills. Persons trained in hcndling spills should be on-site or on call at all times. KEep materials for cleaning up spills on-site easily available. Clean up spills immediatelv and dispose of the contaminated material properly. - Specify a stagine area for all vehicle maintenance activities. Locate this area away from all drainage courses. - Remind workers during subcontractor or safety meetings about proper storage and handling of materials. 4-2.1.3 BhTI' C1.30 NUTRIENT APPLICATION AND CONTROL Inorganic nutrient pollution is most often caused by fertilizers used in revegetating graded areas. Praper soil- stabilization measures, sediment control, and stortnwater detention structures should be used to keep these materials out of waterways. Nutrient pollution can be minimized by working fertilizers and liming materials into the soil to depths of 4 to 6 inches, and 5y proper timin¢ of the application. Control of nutrients can be achieved by applying tf�e required quantity of Fertilizer in mon: than one operation. Fiydro-seeding produces more nuGient pollution than conventional seedbed preparation operations. Use of fertilizers containing little or no phosphorus may be required by the Ciry if the development is near sensitive wa!er bodies. In any event, care should be taken to use only the minimum amount of phosphorus needed, as detertnined by soil tests or advice from the local Conservation District or Soil Conservation Sen�icc. 4-2-2
