Industrial prevention practices for TP.
Link to this table
Practice | Relative effectiveness | Method | Image1 |
---|---|---|---|
Better Turf Management | High | Ensure that mowing, fertilization, pesticide application, and irrigation are completed in ways that will prevent or reduce grass clippings, sediment, and chemicals from entering storm sewer systems; use native vegetation where possible. | |
Proper Vehicle Management | High | Ensure that vehicles are fueled, maintained, washed and stored in a manner that prevents the release of harmful fluids, including oil, antifreeze, gasoline, battery acid, hydraulic and transmission fluids, and cleaning solutions. | |
Sanitary Sewer Maintenance | High | Regularly inspect and flush sanitary pipes to ensure that there are no leaks in the system and that the system is properly functioning. | |
Temporary Construction Sediment Control | Moderate | Implement and encourage practices to retain sediment within construction project area; see Temporary Construction Erosion and Sediment Control Factsheets for additional information | |
Wind Erosion Control | Moderate | Institute a local program for wetting of open construction surfaces and other sources for windblown pollutants. | |
Material Storage Control | Moderate | Reduce or eliminate spill and leakage loss by properly inspecting, containing, and storing hazardous materials and having a cleanup plan that can be quickly and efficiently implemented. | |
Dumpster and landfill management | Moderate | Ensure that contaminated material is contained to prevent solid and/or liquid waste from being washed into storm sewer systems or water bodies. | |
Better Street and Parking Lot Cleaning | Moderate | Maintain streets and parking lots frequently and especially in the spring by sweeping, picking up litter, and repairing deterioration; pressure wash pavement only as needed and avoid using cleaning agents. | |
Storm Sewer System Maintenance | Moderate | Regularly clean debris from storm sewer inlets, remove sediment from catch basin sumps, and remove any illicit connections to storm sewer systems. |
