, <br /> i <br /> industrial complexes where mobile equipment is used. If fueling is done on-site,the following BMPs are j <br /> required: I <br /> l. The fueling faciliry shall be in compliance with the Uniform Fire Code and the National Electric Code. I <br /> 2. The fuel island shall be paved using Portland cement concrete,not asphalt,and shall be designed to <br /> contain fuel spills. The fuel island shall be designed as a spil)containment pad end sized to provent the <br /> runoff of spilled fuel and the run-on of stormwater from surrounding pavement. Park�ng lot stormwater <br /> shall be discharged to the stormwater drainage system,not the sw�itary sewer. <br /> 3. Liquids spilled on the fuel island shall be collected in either trench drains or catchbasins. The drain(s) <br /> shall be connected to the sanitary sewer,process treatment,or a dead-end sump. <br /> 4. Prior to discharge:�the sanitary sewer,pad runoff shall be routed through a spil I containment vault with <br /> a 50 gallon(min:mum) live capac�ty. An isolation��alve shall be installed in the outlet piping from the <br /> spill containment vauit. Whenever srte configuration allows,the valve control shall be an above-ground <br /> hand-wheel. If only a below ground valve contro) is feasible,the valve shall still be hand-operable and <br /> the lid of the valve control box shall be brightly colored to allow for easy identification. <br /> Signs indicating the location and purpose of the valve shall be posted at the Poeling island and at the <br /> attendanYs station. The vault lid shall be designed to vent vapors to the atmosphere and shall be <br /> constructed of non-sparking material. The pavement or ground around the vault lid shall be graded or <br /> bermed to prevent the run-on of stormwater r�aoff from adjacent areas. <br /> 5. The fuel island shall be covered to prevent the direct entry of precipitation onto the spill containment <br /> pad. 7'he roof/canupy shall,at a mmimum,cover ihe spill contamment pad and preferably extend several <br /> additional feet to prevent windblown rain from entering. , <br /> 6. Concrete-filled,stcel pipe posu shall be constructed and located where necessary to prevent vehicles <br /> entering the fueling area froR striking the gasoline pumps. <br /> 7. Spills should be prevented whene��er possible. The owner or operator shall develop an emergency spill <br /> cleanup plan(per BMP 51.80)and havc a designated responsible person(s)available either on site or on <br /> call at all times. Suitable cleanup materials shall be kept on site to allow prompt cleanup should a spill <br /> occur. At a minimum,one 55 gallon drum fi.11 of appropriate absorbent material shall be kept at a <br /> location convenient to the fueling island. In addition,one empty 55 gallon drum shall be kept on the site <br /> for disposal of used absoroent material. Instructions on responding to an accidental spill shall be made <br /> available to all employees a:�d shall lx posted in visible iocations. <br /> 8. Employees and customers shall be educated on the proper use of fuel dispensers. Signs shall be posted in <br /> accordance with the Unifortn Fire Code, including signs noting the location of pump shut-off switches. <br /> "No Topping Off'signs shall also be posted. The automatic shutoff on the gas noule shall be checked <br /> regularly to ensure that it works. <br /> EXCEPTIONS <br /> In industrial complexes or port facilities where very large mobile equipment is used such as log loaders,the fuel <br /> island need not be covered. However,the pad must be designed in a manner that prevents the run•on of <br /> stormwater from adjacent areas. The pnd must also be designed in a manner that allows the collection of all rain <br /> that falls on the pad. <br /> See BMP S I.30 for information or the transfer of fuels from a tanker to the storage tanks and BMP S 1.40 <br /> regarding the installation of the tanks. <br /> 4-2.2.2 BMP 51.15 DISPOSAL OF OIL FILTERS AND OTHER AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS <br /> Oil filters must be drained while the oil is warm for as long as possible(24 hours minimum)and at an angle. The <br /> oil shall be collected for recycling in a separate, labeled container. Drained filters should be kept in a suitable <br /> 4-2-6 �� .� � <br /> r ' <br />
