Road and Street Maintenance SNO <br />Spill Response and Prevention <br />i Refer to SC-ti, Spill Prevention, Control & Cleanup, <br />i Keep your Spill Prevention Control and countermeasure (SPCC) plan up-to-date, and <br />implement accordingly, <br />i Have spill cleanup materials readily available and in a known location. <br />i Cleanup spills immediately and use dry methods if possible. <br />i Properly dispose of spill cleanup material. <br />Other Considerations <br />i Densely populated areas or heavily used streets may require parking regulations to clear <br />streets for cleaning, <br />i No currently available conventional sweeper is effective at removing oil and grease. <br />Mechanical sweepers are not effective at removing finer sediments, <br />i Limitations may arise in the location of new bridges, The availability and cost of land and <br />other economic and political factors may dictate where the placement of a new bridge will <br />occur. Better design of the bridge to control runoff is required Sit is being placed near <br />sensitive waters. <br />Requirements <br />Costs <br />i The maintenance of local roads and bridges is already a consideration of most community <br />public works or transportation departments. Therefore, the cost of pollutant reducing <br />management practices will involve the training and equipment required to implement these <br />new practices, <br />The largest expenditures for street sweeping programs are in staffing and equipment. The <br />capital cost for a conventional street sweeper is between $6o,000 and $12o,000. Newer <br />technologies might have prices approaching $18o,000, The average useful life of a <br />conventional sweeper is about four years, and programs must budget for equipment <br />replacement. Sweeping frequencies will determine equipment life, so programs that sweep <br />more often should expect to have ahigher cost of replacement. <br />i A street sweeping program may require the following. <br />Sweeper operators, maintenance, supervisory, and administrative personnel are <br />required. <br />Traffic control officers maybe required to enforce parking restrictions. <br />Skillful design of cleaning routes is required for program to be productive. <br />Arrangements must be made for disposal of collected wastes. <br />January 2003 California Stormwater BMP Handbook 7 of 9 <br />Municipal <br />www.cabmphandbooks.com <br />
