chemicals or contact of storm water with raw materials, intermediate materials„ <br /> waste materials, or products. <br /> 5.Ensure that spill cleanup procedures are understood by employees. <br /> B. Material Storage Practices <br /> Improper storage can result in the release of materials and chemicals that can cause <br /> storm water runoff pollution. Proper storage technique include: <br /> 1.Providing adequate aisle space to facilitate material transfer and easy access for <br /> inspections. <br /> 2.Storing containers, drums and bags away from direct traffic routes to prevent <br /> accidental containers from improper weight distribution. <br /> 3.Stacking containers according to manufacturer's instructions to avoid damaging <br /> the containers from improper weight distribution. <br /> 4.Storing containers on pallets or similar devices to prevent container corrosion <br /> which can result from moisture on the ground. <br /> C. Material Inventory Procedures <br /> Maintain an up-to -date inventory of all materials (hazardous and nonhazardous). This <br /> inventory helps to keep material costs down caused by overstocking, enables the <br /> tracking of materials stored and handled on site, and identifies which materials and <br /> activities pose the most risk to the environment. <br /> *Identify all chemical substances present in the work place <br /> *Label all containers <br /> *Clearly mark on the inventory hazardous materials that require special handling, <br /> *Storage, use, and disposal considerations. <br /> Implement the appropriate BMPs to ensure good housekeeping practices. <br /> OUTDOOR PROCESS EQUIPMENT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE <br /> DESCRIPTION <br /> Storm water can accumulate pollutants by exposure to numerous small leaks, spills, <br /> and other discharges of outdoor equipment. Large equipment may require specifically- <br /> designed structural or advanced BMPs to reduce the potential for storm water to contact <br /> pollutants. Ordinary precautions, such as those below, may suffice for smaller <br /> equipment. <br /> Outdoor equipment includes rooftop cooling towers or air conditioners, rooftop air <br /> vents for industrial equipment.. outdoor air compressors and other service equipment, <br /> indoor wet processes where leaks or discharges may discharge to outdoor areas, and <br />
