Activity Cut-Sheets <br /> T FAMILY - SUPPORT <br /> Storage of Hazardous Materials (Working Stock) <br /> QX b" EnVtronmental Concerns <br /> Discharge of the following materials into <br /> -the stormwater drainage`system or <br /> watercourse: <br /> I <br /> • Asphalt Paints <br /> products Pesticides/herbicides <br /> • Csmet `Solvents <br /> ,e 'Epoxy Vehii fluids <br /> resins,, <br /> • Fertilizer <br /> • Fuel <br /> Treated wood and working stock stored in covered sheds <br /> DEFINITION AND PURPOSE <br /> Maintenance facilities store a variety of products which may be harmful to the environment if they <br /> come in contact with surface waters. <br /> OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES <br /> The following procedures are used to reduce the potential for the discharge of materials from <br /> hazardous material storage sites to the stormwater drainage system or watercourses by minimizing <br /> exposure of the materials to stormwater and safeguarding against accidental release of materials. <br /> The BMPs for this activity provide operating methods or measures only for the purpose of stormwater <br /> pollution prevention, The applicable local, state and federal hazardous materials, employee safety and <br /> fire prevention requirements are not presented. Although not a BMP, it should be acknowledged that <br /> other environmental laws and regulations do require spill or secondary containment for some <br /> hazardous materials and waste. <br /> Proper hazardous materials storage procedures can be found in the Hazardous Materials Business <br /> Plan. Maintenance facilities that store hazardous materials at or above,the regulated thresholds will <br /> have a Hazardous Materials Business Plan as required by regulation. Hazardous materials storage <br /> must conform to this plan. <br /> • Store hazardous materials in a designated area containing chemically compatible materials. Do <br /> not store incompatible products in the same storage area without some type of physical barrier <br /> separating the containers. For example, do not store strong oxidizers with organics, or <br /> flammable/combustible materials. Where feasible, store hazardous materials under cover and <br /> away from areas that might drain into the stormwater drainage system or watercourses. Ensure <br /> container covers or caps are secure. <br /> • Do not remove original product label from paint or hazardous materials containers as it contains <br /> important spill cleanup and disposal information. Use the entire product before properly disposing <br /> of the container. Appropriately label all secondary containers. < <br /> 120Yt7PL�' <br /> Caltrans Stornlwe ter Quant. dral, 001 —rdaiiten a nice Staff Guide <br /> Mat Nis <br />
