until the street is opened to traffic and all clean-up operations completed. No Parking signs shall only be placed,
maintained and removed by a representative of the Contractor, the Traffic Control Supervisor, or Flagger. The
contractor shall not have “No Parking” signs up and posted where work is not anticipated. Signs that have been
posted where work will not commence as posted shall be turned away from traffic.
All information on the "NO PARKING" signs, with the exception of the type of work, date, and time shall be in
block letters permanently affixed to the sign. Any information added to a sign, such as dates, shall be clearly
legible and written in block style letters. The “NO PARKING” signs shall be in effect for one or two days only.
In the event the Contractor deems it necessary to remove a vehicle that has not adhered to the “NO PARKING”
notification, the Contractor shall first make every reasonable effort to locate and contact the owner of the
vehicle. Should the Contractor be unable to locate the owner of the vehicle, the Contractor shall notify the
Engineer to arrange for towing. If the “NO PARKING’ sign has been in place for a minimum of 24 hours, the
City will make every reasonable effort to remove the offending vehicle within four (4) hours of notification
from the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation for delays associated with
the towing of illegally parked vehicles.
The Contractor shall have an approved Traffic Control Plan on site at all times. Traffic control signage on the
construction site shall be set up in accordance with the approved traffic control plan and in accordance with the
specifications.
Work performed by the Contractor without an approved traffic control plan or when “NO PARKING” signs
have not been placed as required by the specifications shall not be paid.
The Contractor shall also be subject to a pay deduction of up to $1,000.00 per occurrence per day for traffic
control not in compliance with referenced specifications or requirements contained herein. Issues subject to
deductions may include but are not limited to:
Traffic Control Supervisor not on the project site at all times (unless pre-approved by the Engineer)
An approved traffic control plan not on site
Traffic control device set up by flagging personnel unless assisting the Traffic Control Supervisor

The Engineer shall issue a written warning to the Contractor, Subcontractor, and/or Traffic Control Supervisor
documenting the type of violation. The Engineer shall determine the deduction amount based on the Engineers’
opinion of the infraction severity and the number of previous infractions. Upon issuance of a third violation, the
Engineer may request the Subcontractor, Traffic Control Supervisor and/or flagging personnel be removed from
the project. Removal from the project in which the violations were issued shall be in effect for the remainder of
the contract. The contractor shall find replacement Traffic Control Subcontractor, TCS, and/or flagging
personnel within two weeks of the third notice without an adjustment to contract price or working days or the
Contract may be terminated and rebid.
Prior to the end of each work shift the approved Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS), and the Engineer shall meet
to discuss the placement of upcoming traffic control devices to include "NO PARKING" signs. The quantity of
traffic control devices used that day and for the next day shall be agreed upon by the Contractor and the

$1,000.00 per day, may forfeit payment of work and materials installed, and may lose contract working days as
determined by the Engineer. The Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation for delays associated with
non-compliant periods.
No construction shall commence until all utilities are located within the construction area per state law. The
Contractor is responsible for identifying all utilities of concern and calling for appropriate locates. After
contacting 811 to get locates, the contractor may be required to call for clarification and/or additional locates, or
may be required to contact a City of Fort Collins department associated with certain types of utilities. Due to the
high demand of locate companies during the construction season, the City of Fort Collins recommends that the
Contractor schedules a locate company at least one week in advance to minimize any possible delays. If the
locate marks become expired then contractor shall get an extension and request that the markings are redone and
freshened up. If the Contractor does not have locates on a project scheduled to start work that day, the work
shall be “stopped” and the Contractor shall be charged working days until that said marking is completed and
work has commenced.

Dust Prevention and Control Manualͷ
2.0 Fugitive Dust and the Problems it Causes
2.1 What is Fugitive Dust, Generally?
Dust, also known as particulate matter, is made up of solid particles in the air that consist primarily of
dirt and soil but can also contain ash, soot, salts, pollen, heavy metals, asbestos, pesticides, and other
materials. “Fugitive” dust means particulate matter that has become airborne by wind or human
activities and has not been emitted from a stack, chimney, or vent. The Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE) estimates that more than 4,300 tons of particulate matter are emitted
into the air in Larimer County annually. The primary sources of this particulate matter include
construction activities, paved and unpaved roads, and agricultural operations.
The quantity of dust emitted from a particular activity or area and the materials in it can depend on the
soil type (sand, clay, silt), moisture content (dry or damp), local wind speed, and the current or past uses
of the site (industrial, farming, construction).
2.2 Why is the City Addressing Fugitive Dust?
Colorado state air regulations and Larimer County air quality standards generally require owners and
operators of dust generating activities or sources to use all available and practical methods that are
technologically feasible and economically reasonable in order to prevent fugitive dust emissions.
However, state regulations and permitting requirements typically apply to larger stationary sources
rather than to activities that generate dust. Larimer County fugitive dust standards apply only to land
development.
Although state and county requirements apply to many construction activities, they do not address
many sources of dust emissions and City code compliance officers do not have authority to enforce state
or county regulations. Fort Collins is experiencing rapid growth and development that has contributed
to local man-made dust emissions. The City has established Chapter 12, Article X of the Code (§§12-150-
12-159) to address dust generating activities and sources that negatively impact citizens in Fort Collins.
Dust Prevention and Control Manual
2.3 Health and Environmental Effects
Dust particles are very small and can be easily inhaled. They can
enter the respiratory system and increase susceptibility to respiratory
infections, and aggravate cardio-pulmonary disease. Even short-term
exposure to dust can cause wheezing, asthma attacks and allergic
reactions, and may cause increases in hospital admissions and
emergency department visits for heart and lung related diseases.
Fugitive dust emissions can cause significant environmental impacts as well as health effects. When
dust from wind erosion or human activity deposits out of the air, it may impact vegetation, adversely
affect nearby soils and waterways, and cause damage to cultural resources. Wind erosion can result in
the loss of valuable top soil, reduce crop yields, and stunt plant growth.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), studies have linked particulate matter
exposure to health problems and environmental impacts such as:
•Health Impacts:
o Irritation of the airways, coughing, and difficulty breathing
o Reduced lung function and lung cancer
o Aggravated asthma and chronic bronchitis
o Irregular heartbeat and increases in heart attacks
•Environmental Impacts:
o Haze and reduced visibility
o Reduced levels of nutrients in soil
2.4 Nuisance and Aesthetics
Dust, dirt and debris that become airborne eventually settle back down to
the surface. How far it travels and where it gets deposited depends on the
size and type of the particles as well as wind speed and direction. When this
material settles, it can be deposited on homes, cars, lawns, pools and ponds,
and other property. The small particles can get trapped in machinery and
electronics causing abrasion, corrosion, and malfunctions. The deposited
dust can damage painted surfaces, clog filtration systems, stain materials and
cause other expensive clean-up projects.
2.5 Safety Hazard and Visibility
Blowing dust can be a safety hazard at construction sites and on roads and
highways. Dust can obstruct visibility and can cause accidents between
vehicles and bikes, pedestrians, or site workers. Dust plumes can also
decrease visibility across a natural area or scenic vistas. The “brown cloud”,
often visible along the Front Range during the winter months, and the
brilliant red sunsets that occur are often caused by particulate matter and
other pollutants in the air.
Dust Prevention and Control Manual
3.0 Best Management Practices
This Manual describes established best management practices for controlling dust emissions that are
practical and used in common practice to prevent or mitigate impacts to air quality from dust generating
activities and sources occurring within Fort Collins. The objective of the dust control measures included
in this Manual is to reduce dust emissions from human activities and to prevent those emissions from
impacting others and is based on the following principles:
Prevent – avoid creating dust emissions through good project planning and modifying or
replacing dust generating activities.
Minimize – reduce dust emissions with methods that capture, collect, or contain emissions.
Mitigate – when preventing fugitive dust or minimizing the impacts are not feasible, the
Manual provides specific measures to mitigate dust.
More specifically, the Manual establishes the following procedures for each dust generating activity
outlined in this Chapter:
1. Required Best Management Practices – this section includes the specific measures that are
required to be implemented if the dust generating activity is occurring. For example, high wind
restrictions (temporarily halting work when wind speeds exceed 30 mph) are required best
management practices for earthmoving, demolition/renovation, saw cutting or grind, abrasive
blasting, and leaf blowing.
2. Additional Best Management Practices – this section includes additional measures if the
required best management practices are ineffective at preventing off-property transport of
particulate matter. At least one of the additional best management practices outlined in the
Manual must be implemented on the site to be in compliance with the Manual and Code.
3. Additional Requirements – When applicable, additional measures are also required, e.g., a dust
control plan when project sites are over 5 acres in size.
The Dust Prevention and Control Checklist included on page 31 of this Manual provides a “quick guide”
to dust control BMPs covered in the following sections of the Manual.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͺ
3.1 Earthmoving Activities
Above: This figure illustrates earthmoving, which is an activity that can generate dust.
Dust emissions from earthmoving activities depend on the type and extent of activity being conducted,
the amount of exposed surface area, wind conditions, and soil type and moisture content, including:
x Site preparation (clearing, grubbing, scraping)
x Road construction
x Grading and overlot grading
x Excavating, trenching, backfilling and compacting
x Loading and unloading dirt, soil, gravel, or other earth materials
x Dumping of dirt, soil, gravel, or other earth materials into trucks, piles, or receptacles
x Screening of dirt, soil, gravel, or other earth materials
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any person, owner, or operator who conducts earthmoving
that is a dust generating activity or source shall implement the following best management practices to
prevent off-property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Minimize disturbed area: plan the project or activity so that the minimum amount of
disturbed soil or surface area is exposed to wind or vehicle traffic at any one time.
(ii) Reduce vehicle speeds: establish a maximum speed limit or install traffic calming devices to
reduce speeds to a rate to mitigate off-property transport of dust entrained by vehicles.
(iii) Minimize drop height: Drivers and operators shall unload truck beds and loader or
excavator buckets slowly, and minimize drop height of materials to the lowest height possible,
including screening operations.
(iv) High winds restriction: temporarily halt work activities during high wind events greater than
30 mph if operations would result in off-property transport.
(v) Restrict access: restrict access to the work area to only authorized vehicles and personnel.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͻ
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.1(a)(i)-(v) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) Wet suppression: apply water to disturbed soil surfaces, backfill materials, screenings, and
other dust generating operations as necessary and appropriate considering current weather
conditions, and prevent water used for dust control from entering any public right-of-way,
stormwater drainage facility, or watercourse.
(ii) Wind barrier: construct a fence or other type of wind barrier to prevent wind erosion of top
soils.
(iii) Vegetation: plant vegetation appropriate for retaining soils or creating a wind break.
(iv) Surface roughening: stabilize an active construction area during periods of inactivity or
when vegetation cannot be immediately established.
(v) Cover: install cover materials during periods of inactivity and properly anchor the cover.
(vi) Soil retention: stabilize disturbed or exposed soil surface areas that will be inactive for more
than 30 days or while vegetation is being established.
(c) Additional requirements: Any person, owner, or operator who conducts earthmoving that is a dust
generating activity or source at a construction site or land development project with a lot size equal to
or greater than five (5) acres also shall implement the following measures:
(i) Dust Control Plan: submit a plan that describes all potential sources of fugitive dust and
methods that will be employed to control dust emissions with the development construction
permit application or development review application (see Chapter 4 of this Manual). A copy of
the Dust Control Plan must be onsite at all times and one copy must be provided to all
contractors and operators engaged in dust generating activities at the site.
(ii) Construction sequencing: include sequencing or phasing in the project plan to minimize the
amount of disturbed area at any one time. Sites greater than 25 acres in size may be asked to
provide additional justification, revise the sequencing plan, or include additional best
management practices.

Above: This photo illustrates restricting access (a required best management practice) and a wind barrier
(an additional best management practice) for demolition and renovation activities.
Dust generated from demolition activities may contain significant levels of silica, lead, asbestos, and
particulate matter. Inhalation of silica and asbestos is known to cause lung cancer, and exposure to
even small quantities of lead dust can result in harm to children and the unborn.
In addition to complying with the dust control measures below, any person engaged in demolition or
renovation projects must comply with applicable state and federal regulations for asbestos and lead
containing materials and notification and inspection requirements under the State of Colorado Air
Quality Control Commission's Regulation No. 8, Part B Control of Hazardous Air pollutants.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any person, owner, or operator who conducts demolition or
renovation that is a dust generating activity or source shall implement the following best management
practices to prevent off-property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Asbestos and lead containing materials: demolition and renovation activities that involve
asbestos or lead containing materials must be conducted in accordance with 2012 International
Building Code (IBC), as adopted by the Code Sec. 5-26 and amended by Code Sec. 5-27 (59)
(amending IBC §3602.1.1) and all other state and local regulations;
(ii) Restrict access: restrict access to the demolition area to only authorized vehicles and
personnel;
(iii) High winds restriction: temporarily halt work activities during high wind events greater than
30 mph if operations would result in off-property transport; and
(iv) Minimize drop height: Drivers and operators shall unload truck beds and loader or excavator
buckets slowly, and minimize drop height of materials to the lowest height possible, including
screening operations.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳͳ
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.2(a)(i)-(iv) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) Wet suppression: apply water to demolished materials or pre-wet materials to be
demolished as necessary. Prevent water used for dust control from entering any public right-of-
way, storm drainage facility, or watercourse.
(ii) Wind barrier: construct a fence or other type of wind barrier to prevent onsite dust
generating materials from blowing offsite.
(c) Additional requirements:
(i) Building permit compliance: comply with all conditions and requirements under any building
required pursuant to the Code and/or the Land Use Code.
Above: This photo illustrates reducing drop height, a required best
management practice.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳʹ
3.3 Stockpiles
Above: This photo illustrates wet suppression, an additional best management practice for stockpiles.
Stockpiles are used for both temporary and long-term storage of soil, fill dirt, sand, aggregate,
woodchips, mulch, asphalt and other industrial feedstock, construction and landscaping materials.
Fugitive dust can be emitted from stockpiles while working the active face of the pile or when wind
blows across the pile. The quantity of emissions depends on pile height and exposure to wind, moisture
content and particle size of the pile material, surface roughness of the pile, and frequency of pile
disturbance.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any owner or operator of a stockpile that is a dust generating
activity or source shall implement the following best management practices to prevent off property
transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Minimize drop height: Drivers and operators shall unload truck beds and loader or excavator
buckets slowly, and minimize drop height of materials to the lowest height possible, including
screening operations.
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.3(a)(i) is ineffective to prevent off-property
transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best management
practices:
(i) Wet suppression: Apply water to the active face when working the pile or to the entire pile
during periods of inactivity. Prevent water used for dust control from entering any public right-
of-way, storm drainage facility, or watercourse.
(ii) Cover: install cover materials during periods of inactivity and anchor the cover.
(iii) Surface roughening: stabilize a stockpile during periods of inactivity or when vegetation
cannot be immediately established.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳ͵
(iv) Stockpile location: locate stockpile at a distance equal to ten times the pile height from
property boundaries that abut residential areas.
(v) Vegetation: seed and mulch any stockpile that will remain inactive for 30 days or more.
(vi) Enclosure: construct a three-sided structure equal to or greater than the height of the pile to
shelter the pile from the predominant winds.
(c) Additional requirements:
(i) Stockpile permit compliance: comply with all conditions and requirements under any
stockpile permit required under the Code or the Land Use Code.
(ii) Erosion control plan compliance: implement and comply with all conditions and
requirements of the “Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual, as adopted in Code Sec. §26-500;
specifically, Volume 3 Chapter 7 “Construction BMPs”. The Stormwater Criteria Manual may
require the use of Erosion Control Materials, soil stockpile height limit of ten feet, watering,
surface roughening, vegetation, silt fence and other control measures.
Dust Prevention and Control ManualͳͶ
3.4 Street Sweeping
Left: This figure illustrates the use
of a wet suppression and vacuum
system, an additional best
management practice for street
sweeping.
Street sweeping is an effective method for removing dirt and debris from streets and preventing it from
entering storm drains or becoming airborne. Regenerative air sweepers and mechanical sweepers with
water spray can also be effective at removing particulate matter from hard surfaces.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any owner or operator that conducts sweeping operations or
services on paved or concrete roads, parking lots, rights-of-way, pedestrian ways, plazas or other solid
surfaces, and whose operations are a dust generating activity or source shall implement the following
best management practices to prevent off-property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Uncontrolled sweeping prohibited: the use of rotary brushes, power brooms, or other
mechanical sweeping for the removal of dust, dirt, mud, or other debris from a paved public
road, right-of-way, or parking lot without the use of water, vacuum system with filtration, or
other equivalent dust control method is prohibited. Mechanical or manual sweeping that occurs
between lifts of asphalt paving operations or due to preparation for pavement markings are
excluded from this prohibition, due to engineering requirements associated with these
operations.
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.4(a)(i) is ineffective to prevent off-property
transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best management
practices:
(i) Wet suppression: use a light spray of water or wetting agent applied directly to work area or
use equipment with water spray system while operating sweeper or power broom. Prevent
water used for dust control from entering any storm drainage facility or watercourse.
(ii) Vacuum system: use sweeper or power broom equipped with a vacuum collection and
filtration system.
(iii) Other method: use any other method to control dust emissions that has a demonstrated
particulate matter control efficiency of 80 percent or more.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳͷ
3.5 Track-out / Carry-out
Above: This figure illustrates an installed grate (left) and a gravel bed (right), both of which are
additional best management practices associated with track-out/carry-out.
Mud, dirt, and other debris can be carried from a site on the wheels or undercarriage of equipment and
vehicles onto public roads. When this material dries, it can become airborne by wind activity or when
other vehicles travel on it. This is a health concern and can cause visibility issues and safety hazards.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any owner or operator of any operation that has the
potential to result in track-out of mud, dirt, dust, or debris on public roads and rights-of-way and whose
operation is a dust generating activity or source shall implement the following best management
practices to prevent off-property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Contracts and standards: comply with track-out prevention requirements and construction
best management practices as set forth in the Code, City regulations or policies, as specified in
applicable contract documents, and as set forth in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual.
(ii) Remove deposition: promptly remove any deposition that occurs on public roads or rights-
of-way as a result of the owner’s or operator’s operations. Avoid over-watering and prevent
runoff into any storm drainage facility or watercourse.
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.5(a)(i)-(ii) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) Install rails, pipes, grate, or similar track-out control device.
(ii) Install a gravel bed track-out apron that extends at least 50 feet from the intersection with a
public road or right-of-way.

Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳ
3.6 Bulk Materials Transport
Above: This figure illustrates covered loads, a required best management practice for bulk materials
transport.
Haul trucks are used to move bulk materials, such as dirt, rock, demolition debris, or mulch to and from
construction sites, material suppliers and storage yards. Dust emissions from haul trucks, if
uncontrolled, can be a safety hazard by impairing visibility or by depositing debris on roads, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or other vehicles.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any owner or operator of a dust generating activity or source
for which vehicles used to transport bulk materials to and from a site within the City on a public or
private road or on a public right-of-way shall prevent off-vehicle transport of fugitive dust emissions. To
prevent off-vehicle transport of fugitive dust to and from the site, the owner or operator shall
implement the following measures:
(i) Cover Loads: Loads shall be completely covered or all material enclosed in a manner that
prevents the material from blowing, dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping from the
vehicle. This includes the covering of hot asphalt and asphalt patching material with a tarp or
other impermeable material.
(ii) Minimize drop height: Drivers and operators shall load and unload truck beds and loader or
excavator buckets slowly, and minimize drop height of materials to the lowest height possible,
including screening operations.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳ
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.6(a)(i)-(ii) are ineffective to prevent off-
vehicle transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) Wet suppression: apply water to bulk materials loaded for transport as necessary to prevent
fugitive dust emissions and deposition of materials on roadways. Prevent water used for dust
control from entering any public right-of-way, storm drainage facility, or watercourse.
(ii) Other technology: use other equivalent technology that effectively eliminates off-vehicle
transport, such as limiting the load size to provide at least three inches of freeboard to prevent
spillage.
Above: This figure illustrates minimizing drop heights, a required best management practice for bulk
materials transport.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualͳͺ
3.7 Unpaved Roads and Haul Roads
Left: This figure illustrates
surface improvements on an
unpaved road, an additional
best management practice.
Road dust from unpaved roads is caused by particles lifted by and dropped from rolling wheels traveling
on the road surface and from wind blowing across the road surface. Road dust can aggravate heart and
lung conditions as well as cause safety issues such as decreased driver visibility and other safety hazards.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any owner or operator of an unpaved road located on a
construction site greater than five acres on private property or an unpaved road used as a public right-
of-way shall implement the following best management practices to prevent off-property transport of
fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Reduce vehicle speeds: establish a maximum speed limit or install traffic calming devices to
reduce speeds to a rate that prevents off-property transport of dust entrained by vehicles.
(ii) Restrict access: restrict travel on unpaved roads by limiting access to only authorized vehicle
use.
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.7(a)(i)-(ii) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best

Dust Prevention and Control Manualʹͳ
3.9 Open Areas and Vacant Lots
Left: This photo
represents adding
vegetation by
hydroseeding,
which is one
measure to comply
with the Manual.
Open areas are typically not a significant source of wind-blown dust emissions if the coverage of
vegetation is sufficient or soil crusts are intact. However, if soils in open areas are disturbed by vehicle
traffic, off-highway vehicle use, bicycling or grazing, or if they have become overpopulated by prairie
dogs, dust emissions can become a problem.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any owner or operator of an open area greater than one-half
acre shall use at least one of the following best management practices to stabilize disturbed or exposed
soil surface areas that are intended to or remain exposed for 30 days or more and to prevent off-
property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Vegetation: plant vegetation appropriate for retaining soils or creating a wind break.
(ii) Cover: install cover materials over exposed areas during periods of inactivity and properly
anchor the cover.
(iii) Surface roughening: stabilize an exposed area during periods of inactivity or when
vegetation cannot be immediately established.
(iv) Soil retention: stabilize disturbed or exposed soil surface areas that will be inactive for more
than 30 days or while vegetation is being established, using mulch, compost, soil mats, or other
methods.
(v) Wet suppression: apply water to disturbed soil surfaces as necessary and appropriate
considering current weather to prevent off-property transport of fugitive dust emissions.
Prevent water used for dust control from entering any public right-of-way, storm drainage
facility, or watercourse.
(vi) Wind barrier: construct a fence or other type of wind barrier to prevent wind erosion of top
soils.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualʹʹ
3.10 Saw Cutting and Grinding
Above: This photo illustrates concrete cutting and how the activity can generate dust.
Cutting and grinding of asphalt, concrete and other masonry materials can be a significant short-term
source of fugitive dust that may expose workers and the public to crystalline silica. Inhalation of silica
can cause lung disease known as silicosis and has been linked to other diseases such as tuberculosis and
lung cancer. Using additional best management practices during cutting and grinding operations can
significantly reduce dust emissions.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any person, owner, or operator that cuts or grinds asphalt,
concrete, brick, tile, stone, or other masonry materials and whose operations are a dust generating
activity or source shall use the following best management practices to prevent off-property transport
of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Restrict access: prevent the public from entering the area where dust emissions occur.
(ii) High winds restriction: temporarily halt work activities during high wind events greater than
30 mph if operations would result in off-property transport.
(iii) Equipment and work area clean up: use wet wiping, wet sweeping, or vacuuming with HEPA
filtration for equipment and work area clean up and do not cause dust to become airborne
during clean up.
(iv) Slurry clean up: prevent water used for dust control or clean up from entering any public
right-of-way, storm drainage facility, or watercourse by using containment, vacuuming,
absorption, or other method to remove the slurry, and dispose of slurry and containment
materials properly. Follow additional procedures prescribed in the Fort Collins Stormwater
Criteria Manual or contract documents and specifications.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualʹ͵
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.10(a)(i)-(iv) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) On-tool local exhaust ventilation: use a tool-mounted dust capture and collection system.
(ii) On-tool wet suppression: use a tool-mounted water application system.
(iii) Vacuuming: use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter simultaneously with cutting or
grinding operations.
(iv) Wet suppression: use a water sprayer or hose simultaneously with cutting or grinding
operations.
(v) Enclosure: conduct cutting or grinding within an enclosure with a dust collection system or
temporary tenting over the work area.
Above: These photos illustrate how dust generated from cutting can be minimized by applying on-tool
wet suppression, an additional best management practice associated with saw cutting and grinding.
Dust Prevention and Control ManualʹͶ
3.11 Abrasive Blasting
Above: This photo illustrates abrasive blasting without dust mitigation in place.
Abrasive blasting is used to smooth rough surfaces; roughen smooth surfaces; and remove paint, dirt,
grease, and other coatings from surfaces. Abrasive blasting media may consist of sand; glass, plastic or
metal beads; aluminum oxide; corn cobs; or other materials. Abrasive blasting typically generates a
significant amount of fugitive dust if not controlled. The material removed during abrasive blasting can
become airborne and may contain silica, lead, cadmium or other byproducts removed from the surface
being blasted.*
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any person, owner, or operator who conducts outdoor
abrasive blasting or indoor abrasive blasting with uncontrolled emissions vented to the outside and
whose operations are a dust generating activity or source shall implement the following best
management practices to prevent off-property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Restrict access: prevent the public from entering the area where dust emissions occur.
(ii) High winds restriction: temporarily halt work activities during high wind events greater than
30 mph if operations would result in off-property transport.
(iii) Equipment and work area clean up: use wet wiping, wet sweeping, or vacuuming with HEPA
filtration for equipment and work area clean up and do not cause dust to become airborne
during clean up.
(iv) Slurry clean up: prevent water used for dust control or clean up from entering any public
right-of-way, storm drainage facility, or watercourse by using containment, vacuuming,
absorption, or other method to remove the slurry, and dispose of slurry and containment
materials properly.
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.11(a)(i)-(iv) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) Enclosure: conduct abrasive blasting within an enclosure with a dust collection system or
temporary tenting over the work area.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualʹͷ
(ii) Wet suppression blasting: use one of several available methods that mix water with the
abrasive media or air during blasting operations.
(iii) Vacuum blasting: conduct air-based blasting that uses a nozzle attachment with negative air
pressure to capture dust.
(iv) Abrasive media: select less toxic, lower dust-generating blasting media.
* Blasting on surfaces that contain lead paint or wastes from sand blasting that contain hazardous materials may be subject
to additional state and federal requirements.
Above: This photo illustrates wet suppression blasting, an additional best management practice.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualʹ
3.12 Mechanical Blowing
Above: This photo illustrates mechanical blowing without dust mitigation in place.
Mechanical blowers are commonly used to move dirt, sand, leaves, grass clippings and other
landscaping debris to a central location for easier pick-up and removal. Mechanical blowing with a leaf
blower can be a significant source of fugitive dust in some situations and can create nuisance conditions
and cause health effects for sensitive individuals. Mechanical blowing can re-suspend dust particles that
contain allergens, pollens, and molds, as well as pesticides, fecal contaminants, and toxic metals causing
allergic reactions, asthma attacks and exacerbating other respiratory illnesses.
Best Management Practices to Control Dust
(a) Required Best Management Practices: Any person, owner, or operator who operates a mechanical
leaf blower (gas, electric, or battery-powered) in a manner that is a dust generating activity or source
shall use the following best management practices as necessary to prevent off-property transport of
fugitive dust emissions
(i) Low speed: use the lowest speed appropriate for the task and equipment.
(ii) Operation: use the full length of the blow tube and place the nozzle as close to the ground as
possible.
(iii) High winds restriction: temporarily halt work activities during high wind events greater than
30 mph if operations would result in off-property transport.
(b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.11(a)(i)-(iii) are ineffective to prevent off-
property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best
management practices:
(i) Alternative method: use an alternative such as a rake, broom, shovel, manually push
sweeper or a vacuum machine equipped with a filtration system.
(ii) Prevent impact: do not blow dust and debris off-property or in close proximity to people,
animals, open windows, air intakes, or onto adjacent property, public right-of-way, storm
drainage facility, or watercourse.
Dust Prevention and Control Manualʹ
(iii) Minimize use on dirt: minimize the use of mechanical blower on unpaved surfaces, road
shoulders, or loose dirt.
(iv) Wet suppression: use a light spray of water, as necessary and appropriate considering
current weather conditions, to dampen dusty work areas. Prevent water, dirt, and debris from
entering any storm drainage facility, or watercourse.
(v) Remove debris: remove and properly dispose of blown material immediately.

Spill Prevention and
Response
Description
Due to the type of work and the materials involved, many
activities that occur either at a municipal facility or as part
of municipal operations have the potential for accidental
spills. Some municipal facilities operate under Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plans
that include procedures for spill response. Proper spill
response planning and preparation enables employees and
contractors to effectively respond to problems and
minimize the discharge of pollutants to the storm sewer
system.
When services are contracted, this written procedure
should be provided to the contractor so they have the
proper operational procedures. In addition, the contract
should specify that the contractor is responsible for
abiding by all applicable municipal, state, and federal
codes, laws, and regulations.
Procedures
Spill Prevention
Keep work areas neat and well organized.
Maintain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
each hazardous chemical. Follow the Outdoor
Material Storage procedures.
Provide tight fitting lids for all containers.
Keep containers clearly labeled. Labels should
provide name and type of substance, stock number,
expiration date, health hazards, handling
suggestions, and first aid information.
Store containers, drums, and bags away from direct
traffic routes to prevent accidental spills.
Inspect storage containers regularly for signs of
leaking or deterioration.
Replace or repair leaking storage containers.
Use care to avoid spills when transferring materials
from one container to another.

Use powered equipment or get assistance when moving materials to and from a
storage area. Use care to prevent puncturing containers with the equipment.
Do not wash down or hose down any outdoor work areas or trash/waste container
storage areas except where wash water is captured and discharged into the sanitary
sewer (if approved).
Conduct periodic inspections to ensure that materials and equipment are being
handled, disposed/recycled, and stored correctly.
Provide adequate spill kits or lockers with sufficient equipment and supplies
necessary for each work area where the potential for spills or leaks exists.
Inspect each spill kit or locker regularly and after each spill response. Replace any
spent supplies or repair any equipment that is worn or not suitable for service.
Stock adequate personal protective equipment.
Spill Response
Safety
Consider safety at all times. Anticipate and avoid all likely hazards. Never approach, contact, or
sample an unknown substance. If a highly toxic or flammable substance is discovered, staff
should leave the immediate area and contact the appropriate identified response authority, such
as the fire department. If there is any question about a substance, contact the appropriate
identified response authority or other designated representative.
Procedures
Stop the leading edge of the spill. Block or divert the spill to avoid discharge to the
storm sewer system and to minimize the area requiring cleanup.
Determine the source of the spill and stop the spill at its source by closing a valve,
plugging a leak, or setting a container upright. Transfer material from a damaged
container.
Identify the material and volume spilled. Contact the appropriate identified
response authority or other designated representative if you cannot identify the
material and its properties.
Refer to the MSDS to determine appropriate personal protective equipment, such as
gloves and safety glasses and appropriate cleanup methods.
Clean up spills immediately to prevent spreading of wastes by wind, rain, and
vehicle traffic and potential safety hazards.
Use sand absorbents or socks, pillows, or pads to quickly capture spilled liquid and
properly dispose of all clean-up materials. Use dry clean-up methods only.
Complete all necessary reports.
Page 3 of 4
Spill Reporting
A spill of any chemical, oil, petroleum product, or sewage that enters waters of the
state of Colorado (that include surface water, ground water, and dry gullies and
storm sewers leading to surface water) must be reported immediately to the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Release of a substance into a storm drain, or onto a parking lot or roadway as part of
a storm sewer leading to surface water, is reportable. However, if the material can
be contained and cleaned within the storm sewer system to the degree that a
subsequent flow in the storm sewer will not flush the substance to waters of the
State, it may not need to be reported.
Contact the appropriate identified response authority within the municipality or
other designated representative and be prepared to provide details needed to report
the spill to the necessary agencies.
Detailed spill reporting guidance can be found at
http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/op/wqcc/Resources/Guidance/spillguidance.pdf
and http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/hm/spillsandreleases.htm
Employee Training
Train applicable employees who perform spill prevention and response on this
written procedure. Information regarding how to avoid and report spills will be
presented during the training.
Periodically conduct refresher training on the SOP for applicable employees who

Utility and Storm Sewer
System Maintenance
Description
This procedure addresses utility and storm sewer system
maintenance. Utilities include power, sanitary sewer,
water conveyance systems, and the storm sewer system.
Power includes electrical and gas utilities. Maintenance
of power may require excavation and reinstallation of
lines including open cut trenching or directional boring
in landscaped areas or street right of way. Electrical and
gas line maintenance ensures services are provided to
businesses and households without interruption.
The sanitary sewer system is cleaned as part of routine
maintenance and on an emergency basis. Without
proper maintenance, sanitary sewer back-ups and
overflows may occur and can result in potential property
damage and significant health concerns if not properly
managed.
Water conveyance systems are flushed and pressure
tested as part of routine maintenance. Potable water
systems must be properly maintained to ensure delivery
of water that meets State and Federal health standards.
Failures result in water main breaks that can cause
property damage including erosion.
The storm sewer system is cleaned as part of routine
maintenance and on an emergency basis in the event of
flooding. Maintenance will remove pollutants and
ensure the system functions properly to avoid flooding.
Flooding, ponding, and uncontrolled sheet flow can
result in property damage and increased soil erosion.
When services are contracted, this written procedure
should be provided to the contractor so they have the
proper operational procedures. In addition, the contract
should specify that the contractor is responsible for
abiding by all applicable municipal, state, and federal
codes, laws, and regulations.

Procedures
General
Conduct routine inspection and maintenance on utility and storm sewer systems.
Where feasible, schedule maintenance activities during dry weather.
Monitor the jet/vacuum truck closely for leaks and use a drip pan as needed.
Wash and fuel the jet/vacuum truck per the Heavy Equipment/Vehicle
Maintenance procedure.
Properly dispose of vac truck contents.
Stay alert for any signs of illicit discharges. This includes “dry weather” flows or
pipes or hoses emptying directly into waterways or the storm sewer system.
Report any suspicious discharges or dumping to your supervisor.
Electrical and Gas Utility Maintenance
To prevent sediment, mud and particles generated by power utility maintenance
from entering the stormwater system implement inlet protection, perimeter
control, street sweeping, vehicle tracking control, stockpile management and
material management BMPs.
Restore landscaped or hardscaped areas promptly.
Potable Water Line Flushing
Remove any debris from the gutter that could wash away with the water. If
possible, sweep the flow line before flushing the line.
Direct the water so that it is not flowing over exposed soil areas in order to minimize
erosion.
Water Line Breaks
Contain spoils by building berms or installing rock socks around the area of
disturbance.
Dewater the excavation by using a vac truck.
Discharge high chlorine water to the sanitary sewer via the nearest manhole, to a
water truck, through a dechlorinating diffuser, or other method of dechlorination.
Remove sediment from the street, curb, gutter and storm inlets as needed
immediately following the repair.
Where needed, install a temporary patch or repave as soon as practicable following
the repair.
If necessary, revegetate areas as soon as practicable following the repair.
Sanitary Sewer Backup
Clear line stoppage to prevent backup into house basements and manhole overflows.
Page 3 of 4
Contain overflows by using emergency generator, pump and/or a vac truck to
intercept flows. It may be necessary to construct additional containment.
Clean up spills by washing and vacuuming the affected areas. Lime may need to be
applied for disinfection of affected areas. Lime must be removed once disinfection is
complete.
Storm Sewer System Pipes, Catch Basins, Inlet and Outlet Structures, and Culverts
Clean storm sewer system by manual cleaning or jetting the pipes using a
jet/vacuum truck to remove the material.
Do not temporarily store collected storm system cleaning debris adjacent to any
surface water, storm drain inlet, or drainageway.
Storm sewer system maintenance wastes may be either non-hazardous or hazardous.
Solid non-hazardous waste may be disposed in a sanitary landfill or recycled.
Liquid non-hazardous waste must be evaporated before disposing of it into the
landfill or discharged to the sanitary sewer system with the approval of the local
wastewater treatment plant. Hazardous waste, as defined under Colorado
Hazardous Waste Regulations (6 CCR 1007-3), must be transported and disposed of
at a permitted disposal or treatment facility.
Replace or maintain “no dumping” stencils or plaques as necessary.
Remove trash from trash racks and grated openings.
Detention and Retention Ponds
Inspect the outlet works and remove trash or vegetation from the trash racks and
grates.
Inspect side slopes of the pond for erosion and reestablish vegetation as needed.
Remove and service fountains and aerator motors as recommended.
Report any suspected water quality problems such as a change in growth or
appearance of vegetation.
Report excessive sediment accumulation, standing water beyond the designed drain
down time or damage requiring additional maintenance.
Drainageways
Drainageways include drainage channels, ditches, grass swales, and washes.
Inspect drainageways for erosion and repair if necessary.
Remove and properly dispose of trash and debris from the drainageways. Remove
sediment which could impede flow in drainageways.
Leave an unmown buffer when mowing adjacent to drainageways to filter
pollutants. Do not leave grass clippings in or next to the drainageway. Do not apply
landscape chemicals in the buffer area.

ESOP—Power Washing (Pressure Washing) wastewater
Revision date:
10/19/2009 Page 2 of 3
1.0 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this ESOP is to describe the appropriate methods of handling
power washing wastewater.
2.0 Scope
2.1 The scope of this ESOP is limited to the description of the allowable methods of
the disposal of power washing wastewater and the protection of the storm drainage
system; the scope does not include specifics on how to power wash.
3.0 Process
3.1 Power washing wastewater must be prevented from running uncontrolled in the
City’s storm water system. The system includes streets, inlets, gutters, ponds,
creeks, ditches, and the Poudre River. During the power washing activity, ensure
the wastewater is controlled by the utilization of the natural slope of the land, or
barriers such as inlet covers. Use of barriers on an impermeable surface also
requires that the wastewater be vacuumed, collected, and disposed of properly.
3.2 General pollution prevention procedures:
A. Use dry methods for surface pre-cleaning, such as using absorbent on
small oil spots and sweeping up trash, debris, dirt, and used absorbent
before power washing.
B. Minimize the amount of water used during power washing activities.
C. Avoid using cleaning products that contain hazardous substances (e.g.,
hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, bleach) that can turn
wastewater into hazardous waste.
3.3 Prior to power washing, decide on one of the following methods of disposal:
D. Landscape--power washing wastewater may be discharged to
landscaped areas if the materials used and the material removed are
not harmful to vegetation, there is no ponding, and there is no
uncontrolled runoff to the stormwater system.
E. Wastewater treatment system-- As long as the collected wastewater
does not have an oil sheen, has a pH between 5 and 11, and does not
contain any hazardous or toxic substances, the wastewater may be
disposed of into the City’s wastewater treatment system.
1. If you add anything to the wash water (ie—a cleaning agent) or if you
have questions about the content of your power washing wastewater,

please contact the industrial pretreatment office at 221-6938.
2. Disposal into the City’s wastewater treatment system may be done
either by discharging directly to an inside drain, or by pump truck at
the Drake wastewater treatment facility. Disposing by pump truck
requires a waste hauler’s permit, and a 5 cent/gallon fee will be
charged. For fee information, or to obtain a permit, contact
the industrial pretreatment office at 221-6938.
F. Truck the waste to a different waste disposal facility.
3.4 Once wastewater has been collected, visible solids remaining in the collection area
must be swept up to prevent future discharges to the storm drain.
3.5 A sewer manhole cover may not be removed for disposal to the wastewater
system.
3.6 If you are working in an area that is serviced by a neighboring wastewater district,
such as South Fort Collins Sanitation or Boxelder, it is necessary to contact that
district’s industrial pretreatment coordinator before discharging to their system.
4.0 Training Requirements
4.1 The training requirement associated with this procedure is knowledge of the proper
management of power washing wastewater.

Outdoor Fleet Maintenance
Description
Although it is recommended that fleet maintenance
activities be conducted indoors or under cover, it is
sometimes necessary to perform fleet maintenance
outdoors (e.g., equipment is too large to fit inside the
maintenance building, temporary repairs need to be made
before the equipment can be moved to the maintenance
building, breakdowns, service calls).
Some potential pollutants typically associated with outdoor
fleet maintenance activities include oil, antifreeze, brake
fluid and cleaner, solvents, batteries, and fuels. Consult the
Spill Prevention and Response procedure and the Vehicle
Fueling procedure for additional information on those
topics.
When services are contracted, this written procedure
should be provided to the contractor so they have the
proper operational procedures. In addition, the contract
should specify that the contractor is responsible for abiding
by all applicable municipal, state, and federal codes, laws,
and regulations.
Procedures
Fleet Maintenance
Fleet maintenance should be performed inside
whenever possible.
If indoor maintenance is not possible, ensure
maintenance is performed in a location where
contact with stormwater is minimized, through
berming and appropriate routing of drainage.
Provide inlet protection (berms, weighted inlet
covers, etc.) for all adjacent inlets when work is
occurring in close proximity to a storm drain
inlet.
Have absorbent pads and drip pans accessible to
capture leaks and spills during maintenance
activities.
Keep equipment clean and do not allow
excessive build-up of oil and grease.

Perform regular preventative maintenance to
minimize the occurrence of leaks and major
repairs.
Recycle and/or dispose of all wastes
properly and promptly.
Do not dump any liquids or other materials outside, especially near or in storm
drains or ditches. Sweep and pick up trash and debris as needed.
Clean up spills promptly using dry methods (do not hose down). Consult the Spill
Prevention and Response procedure for more information. Cleanup is completed
only after absorbent and rags are disposed of properly.
Body Repair and Painting
Whenever possible, conduct all body repair and painting work indoors.
Use dry cleanup methods such as vacuuming or sweeping to clean up all metal
filings, dust, and paint chips from grinding, shaving, and sanding. Dispose of the
waste properly. Debris from wet sanding can be allowed to dry overnight, then swept
and vacuumed. Liquid from wet sanding should not be allowed to enter the storm
drain. Never discharge these wastes to the storm or sanitary sewer systems.
Minimize waste from paints and thinners by carefully calculating paint needs based
on surface area and using the proper sprayer cup size.
Clean spray guns in a self-contained cleaner. Do not dispose of cleaner waste in the
storm drain.
Use sanding tools equipped with vacuum capability (if available) to pick up debris
and dust.
Material Management
Store maintenance materials and waste containers (e.g., used oil and antifreeze) in
labeled containers under cover or in secondary containment (e.g., double-walled
tanks). Chemicals should not be combined in containers.
All hazardous wastes must be labeled and stored according to hazardous waste
regulations.
Carefully transfer fluids from collection devices to designated storage areas as soon
as possible. Do not store the transferred fluids adjacent to the containers.
Store new batteries securely to avoid breakage and acid spills.
Store used batteries indoors or in secondary containment to contain potential leaks.
Recycle used batteries.
Conduct periodic inspections of storage areas to detect possible leaks.
Page 3 of 4
Do not wash or hose down the storage area except in areas where the wash water will
only enter the sanitary sewer drain as an approved discharge. Use dry clean-up
methods as often as possible.
Keep lids on waste barrels and containers, and store them indoors or under cover to
reduce exposure to rain.
Periodically inspect and maintain all pretreatment equipment, including sumps,
separators, and grease traps to ensure proper functioning.
Parts Cleaning
Use designated areas for engine, parts, or radiator cleaning. Do not wash or rinse parts
outdoors. If parts cleaning equipment is not available, use drip pans or other
containment to capture parts cleaning fluids.
Use steam cleaning or pressure washing of parts whenever possible instead of solvent
cleaning.
When steam cleaning or pressure washing is used, only discharge wastewater to an
oil/water separator connected to the sanitary sewer.
When using solvents, rinse and drain parts over the designated solvent tank so that
fluids will not drip or spill onto the floor. Use drip boards or pans to catch excess
solutions and divert them back to the tank. Allow parts to dry over the hot tank.
Recycle cleaning solution when it becomes too dirty to use. Never discharge cleaning
waste to the storm or sanitary sewer systems.
Vehicle and Equipment Washing
Vehicles should be washed, whenever possible, in the municipality’s vehicle and
equipment wash area/bay or taken to a commercial car wash.
Employee Training
Train applicable employees on this written procedure. Information regarding how to avoid
and report spills will be presented during the training.
Periodically conduct refresher training on the SOP for applicable employees who
perform outdoor vehicle maintenance.
Records
The following records could be used to document activities performed:

Heavy Equipment and Vehicle
Maintenance
Description
Regular maintenance of municipal vehicles and equipment, or
municipality-contracted vehicles and equipment prolongs the life
of the municipality’s assets and prevents the leaking of hazardous
fluids commonly associated with normal wear and tear of vehicles
and equipment.
Potential pollutants generated at vehicle maintenance facilities
include oil, antifreeze, brake fluid and cleaner, solvents, batteries
and fuels.
When services are contracted, this written procedure should be
provided to the contractor so they have the proper operational
procedures. In addition, the contract should specify that the
contractor is responsible for abiding by all applicable municipal,
state, and federal codes, laws, and regulations.
Procedures
Maintenance activities should be performed inside a maintenance
building unless the equipment is too large to fit inside or
temporary repairs need to be made before the equipment can be
moved to the maintenance building. Consult the Outdoor Fleet
Maintenance procedure when it is necessary to perform repairs
outside of the facility (breakdowns, service calls, etc.).
Vehicle Storage
Monitor vehicles and equipment closely for leaks and
use drip pans as needed until repairs can be
performed.
When drip pans are used, check frequently to avoid
overtopping and properly dispose of fluids.
Drain fluids from leaking or wrecked vehicles and
from motor parts as soon as possible. Dispose of fluids
properly.

All hazardous wastes must be labeled and stored according to hazardous waste
regulations.
Carefully transfer fluids from collection devices to designated storage areas as soon as
possible. Do not store the transferred fluids adjacent to the containers (for example, oil
drip pans with used oil in them should not be placed next to the used oil tank).
Store new batteries securely to avoid breakage and acid spills.
Store used batteries indoors or in secondary containment to contain potential leaks.
Recycle used batteries.
Conduct periodic inspections of storage areas to detect possible leaks.
Page 3 of 4
Do not wash or hose down storage areas except where wash water will enter the sanitary
sewer as an approved discharge. Use dry clean-up methods whenever possible.
Keep lids on waste barrels and containers, and store them indoors or under cover to
reduce exposure to rain.
Periodically inspect and maintain all pretreatment equipment, including sumps,
separators, and grease traps to ensure proper functioning.
Parts Cleaning
Use designated areas for engine, parts, or radiator cleaning. Do not wash or rinse parts
outdoors. If parts cleaning equipment is not available, use drip pans or other
containment to capture parts cleaning fluids.
Use steam cleaning or pressure washing of parts whenever possible instead of solvent
cleaning.
When steam cleaning or pressure washing, only discharge wastewater to an oil/water
separator connected to the sanitary sewer.
When using solvents to clean parts, rinse and drain parts over the designated solvent
tank so that fluids will not drip or spill onto the floor. Use drip boards or pans to catch
excess solutions and divert them back to the tank. Allow parts to dry over the hot tank.
Recycle cleaning solution when it becomes too dirty to use. Never discharge cleaning
waste to the sanitary sewer or storm sewer.
Vehicle and Equipment Washing
Vehicles should be washed in the municipality’s vehicle and equipment wash
area/bay or taken to a commercial car wash.
Employee Training
Train applicable employees who perform heavy equipment and vehicle maintenance on this
written procedure. Information regarding how to avoid and report spills will be presented
during the training.
Periodically conduct refresher training on the SOP for applicable employees who perform
heavy equipment and vehicle maintenance.
Records
The following records could be used to document activities performed:
Record of any major spills and the action taken.
Records of employee training with sign-in sheet.
Heavy equipment and vehicle maintenance logs
