SNO Road and Street Maintenance <br />i If painting is conducted, follow the painting and paint removal procedures above, <br />i If graffiti removal is conducted, follow the graffiti removal procedures above. <br />i If construction takes place, see the ConstructionActivity BMP Handbook, <br />i Recycle materials whenever possible. <br />Unpaved Roads and Trails <br />i Stabilize exposed soil areas to prevent soil from eroding during rain events, This is <br />particularly important on steep slopes. <br />i For roadside areas with exposed soils, the most cost-effective choice is to vegetate the area, <br />preferably with a mulch or binder that will hold the soils in place while the vegetation is <br />establishing, Native vegetation should be used if possible, <br />i If vegetation cannot be established immediately, apply temporary erosion control <br />mats/blankets; a comma straw, or gravel as appropriate. <br />i If sediment is already eroded and mobilized in roadside areas, temporary controls should be <br />installed. These may include: sediment control fences, fabric -covered triangular dikes, <br />gravel -filled burlap bags, biobags, or hay bales staked in place. <br />Non-Stormwater Discharges <br />Field crews should be aware of non-stormwater discharges as part of their ongoing street <br />maintenance efforts, <br />i Refer to SC-ro Non-Stormwater Discharges <br />i Identifylocation, time and estimated quantity of discharges, <br />i Notify appropriate personnel. <br />Training <br />i Train employees regarding proper street sweeping operation and street repair and <br />maintenance. <br />i Instruct employees and subcontractors to ensure that measures to reduce the stormwater <br />impacts of roadway/bridge maintenance are being followed. <br />i Require engineering staff and/or consulting A/E firms to address stormwater quality in new <br />bridge designs or existing bridge retrofits. <br />i Use a training log or similar method to document training. <br />i Train employees on proper spill containment and clean up, and in identifying non- <br />stormwater discharges. <br />6 of 9 California Stormwater BMP Handbook January 2003 <br />Municipal <br />www.cabmphandbooks.com <br />
