The <br />protocols in this fact sheet are intended to prevent or reduce the <br />discharge of pollutants from parking/storage areas and include <br />using good housekeeping practices, following appropriate <br />cleaning BMPs, and training employees. <br />Approach <br />The goal of this program is to ensure stormwater pollution <br />prevention practices are considered when conducting activities <br />on or around parking areas and storage areas to reduce potential <br />for pollutant discharge to receiving waters. Successful <br />implementation depends on effective training of employees on <br />applicable BMPs and general pollution prevention strategies and <br />objectives. <br />Pollution Prevention <br />■ Encourage alternative designs and maintenance strategies for <br />impervious parking lots. (See New Development and <br />Redevelopment BMP Handbook) <br />■ Keep accurate maintenance logs to evaluate BMP <br />implementation. <br />Objectives <br />0 Corer <br />■ Contain <br />.
