Waste Handling & Disposal SC-34 <br />Description <br />Improper storage and handling of solid wastes can allow toxic <br />compounds, offs and greases, heavy metals, nutrients, suspended <br />solids, and other pollutants to enter stormwater runoff. The <br />discharge of pollutants to stormwater from waste handling and <br />disposal can be prevented and reduced by tracking waste <br />generation, storage, and disposal; reducing waste generation and <br />disposal through source reduction, reuse, and recycling, and <br />preventing run-on and runoff. <br />Approach <br />Pollution Prevention <br />• Accomplish reduction in the amount of waste generated <br />using the following source controls: <br />Production planning and sequencing <br />Process or equipment modification <br />Raw material substitution or elimination <br />Loss prevention and housekeeping <br />Waste segregation and separation <br />Close loop recycling <br />• Establish a material tracking system to increase awareness <br />about material usage. This may reduce spills and minimize <br />contamination, thus reducing the amount of waste produced. <br />• Recycle materials whenever possible. <br />Objectives <br />• Cover <br />• Contain <br />• Educate <br />• Reduce/Minimize <br />• Product Substitution <br />Targeted Constituents <br />Sediment <br />Nutrients <br />Trash <br />Metals <br />✓ <br />Bacteria <br />✓ <br />Oil and Grease <br />✓ <br />Organics <br />✓ <br />ANIL CASQA <br />GNOMN <br />Al; <br />OMWOIOI <br />owuqAMMOCRIUM <br />January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 1 of 5 <br />Industrial and Commercial <br />www.cabmphandbooks.com <br />
