J-2.2J BMP B1.60 OUTS[DE STORAGE OF RAW MATERIALS, BY-PRODUCTS OR FINISHED <br />PRODUCTS (SOLID MA'fERIALS) <br />This BMP covers solid materials such as: <br />Gravel, sand, topsoil, compost, logs, sawdust, wood chips; <br />Lumber and other building materials; <br />Concrete and metal products. <br />The business shall select one of the following practices appropriate to the type of material: <br />- Build a covered, paved area for storage of the material, or; <br />- Place temporary plastic sheeting over the material or; <br />- Pave the area and install a drainage system to collec[ stormwater for treatment. Treat the stortnwater pe� <br />the requirements o,' Section 1-3. <br />Note: [f reiected asQhalt is temporarilv stored on-site before disr, a. I it shall be covered. <br />With Optio�i #3, the paved area shall be sloped in a manner that n, imizes the pooling of water on the site, <br />particularly with materials that may lear,h pollutants into stortnwater and/or greand water such as compost, logs, <br />and wood chips. A minimum slope nf 1.5 percent is recommended. The area shall be designed to prevent the <br />run-on of uncontaminated stormwater from adjacent areas as well as runoff of stormwater from the stockpile <br />area. <br />The storm drainaee system shall be designed to minimize the use of catchbasins in the �nterior of the storage <br />area, as catch basins tend to rapidly fill with the manufacturing material. Rather, the area should be sloped [o <br />drain stormwater to the perimeter where it can be collected, or to intemal drainage "alleyways" w:�ere material is <br />not stockpiled. <br />d-2Z.8 BMP 51.70 OUTSIDE MANUFAC1fURING ACTMTIES <br />This BMP applies to those businesses identified in Section 4-1 that plan to or currendy carry out manufacturing <br />or other potentially polluting activities in an area exposed ro precipitation. The strategies presented below shall <br />be usad first, to the maximum extent practical, ro prevent stormwater from becoming polluted. If stortnwater <br />pollution will still occur, stortnwater treatment will be required per Section 1-3. <br />Strategies to eliminate and/or minim�ze the potential for polluted stortnwater runoff from any ouiside <br />manufacturing activiry include: <br />Alterine the activitv: The preferred option is to alter anv practice that may contaminate surface water or ground <br />water by either not producing the pollutant to begin with or by controlling �t m such a way as to keep it out of the <br />environment. <br />Enclosin� the activit�•: If the practice cannot be altere.d, it should be enclosed in a building to prevent rain from <br />comine in contact wit:h the activity. <br />Coverine the activitv: Placing the act9vity inside a building may be infeasible or prohibi[ively expensive. The <br />cost ot a building can b�: significanNy reduced by not covermg the sides, ihus elimmating the need for ventilating <br />and lighting systems. <br />Se¢re�atine the activitv: Certain parts of the activity may be the wors[ source of pollu2ants. Those parts can ba <br />segregated and enclosed or covered. 'i-ne drains from these areu can then be dischasg�:d to the sanitary sewer, <br />process treatmen4 or a dead-end sump depending upon available methods znd applicat�le permit requirements. <br />4-2-17. <br />
