FUELING <br /> • Maintain fuel dispensing areas using dry cleanup methods such as sweeping for <br /> removal of litter and debris, or use of rags and absorbents for leaks and spills. <br /> • Fueling areas should never be washed down unless the wash water is collected <br /> and contained. <br /> • Fit fuel dispensing nozzles with hold open latches except where prohibited by <br /> local ordinance or fire department. <br /> • Cover the fuel dispensing area such that the cover's minimum dimensions are <br /> equal to or greater than the area within the grade break or fuel dispensing area. <br /> Roof downspouts should be positioned to direct water away from fueling areas. <br /> • Slope the pavement near the fuel area to prevent ponding and to minimize the run- <br /> on of uncontaminated storm water from adjacent areas. <br /> • Post signs at the fuel dispenser or fuel island warning vehicle owner/operators <br /> against "topping off' of fuel tanks. <br /> DUMPSTER AND TRASH CAN AREAS <br /> Minimize the possibility of storm water pollution from outside waste receptacles by <br /> doing the following: <br /> • Use water-tight waste receptacles and keep lids closed; <br /> • Grade and pave the waste receptacle area to prevent run-on of storm water; <br /> • Store receptacles under a roof or canopy; and <br /> • Empty waste receptacles frequently. <br /> SPILL CLEANUP <br /> • Develop and maintain a spill response plan. <br /> • Place an adequate stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily <br /> available. This includes oil/dry, absorbent rolls, and absorbent booms. <br /> • Spot clean leaks, drips and other spills with as little water as possible. Use rags <br /> for small spills, and a damp mop for general cleanup, and dry absorbent material <br /> # for larger spills. <br /> • Keep spill from entering streets, gutters or storm drains. <br /> EMPLOYEE TRAINING <br /> • Train employees on these practices. <br /> • <br /> Train your staff on the proper maintenance of your facility. <br /> • Train employees on your facility's spill control plan and spill <br /> containment/cleanup procedures. <br /> • Establish a regular training schedule for all employees and conduct annual <br /> refresher training. <br /> • Use a training log or similar method to document training. <br />
