SC-41 Building & Grounds Maintenance <br />■ Use up the pesticides. Rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused <br />pesticide as hazardous waste. <br />■ Implement storage requirements for pesticide products with guidance from the local fire <br />department and County Agricultural Commissioner. Provide secondary containment for <br />pesticides. <br />Inspection <br />■ Inspect irrigation system periodically to ensure that the right amount of water is being <br />applied and that excessive runoff is not occurring. Minimize excess watering and repair <br />leaks in the irrigation system as soon as they are observed. <br />Training <br />■ Educate and train employees on pesticide use and in pesticide application techniques to <br />prevent pollution. <br />■ Train employees and contractors in proper techniques for spill containment and cleanup. <br />■ Be sure the frequency of training takes into account the complexity of the operations and the <br />nature of the staff. <br />Spill Response and Prevention <br />■ Keep your Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan up-to-date. <br />■ Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials, such as brooms, dustpans, and vacuum sweepers <br />(if desired) near the storage area where it will be readily accessible. <br />■ Have employees trained in spill containment and cleanup present during the <br />loading/unloading of dangerous wastes, liquid chemicals, or other materials. <br />■ Familiarize employees with the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan. <br />■ Clean up spills immediately. <br />Other Considerations <br />Alternative pest/weed controls may not be available, suitable, or effective in many cases. <br />Requirements <br />Costs <br />■ Cost will vary depending on the type and size of facility. <br />■ Overall costs should be low in comparison to other BMPs. <br />Maintenance <br />Sweep paved areas regularly to collect loose particles. Wipe up spills with rags and other <br />absorbent material immediately, do not hose down the area to a storm drain. <br />4 of 5 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 <br />Industrial and Commercial <br />www.cabmphandbooks.com <br />
