5.5 Construction Housekeeping Practices During the construction phase, the Contractor(s) will implement the following measures: 5.5.1 Sediment Sweeping/Vacuuming Any sediment that is tracked by construction vehicles or erosion onto adjacent public or private impervious surfaces must be swept or vacuumed, utilizing self-propelled and/or walk-behind equipment, and removed on a daily basis. Kick brooms and sweeper attachments are not an acceptable means of sweeping. Sweeping or vacuuming should not take place while tracked sediment is wet. If tracked sediment is compacted, the sediment must be scraped loose prior to sweeping or vacuuming. 5.5.2 Material Stockpiles Material resulting from clearing and grubbing operations that will be stockpiled on-site, must be adequately protected with downgradient erosion and sediment controls. 5.5.3 Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance The Contractor(s) will designate areas for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and repair. The Contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) will utilize those areas. The areas will be protected by a temporary perimeter berm. 5.5.4 Detergents The use of detergents for large-scale washing is prohibited (i.e., vehicles, buildings, pavement surfaces, etc.) 5.5.5 Spill Prevention and Response A Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall be developed, for the pollutants identified in Section 5.3, for the site by the Contractor(s) that addresses the following: 1. Reducing chance of spills 2. Stopping the source of spills 3. Containing and cleaning up spills 4. Disposing of materials contaminated by spills 5. Training personnel responsible for spill prevention/response 6. Material handling procedures 7. Material storage requirements The plan shall detail the steps required in the event of an accidental spill and shall identify contact names and phone numbers of people and agencies that must be notified. The plan shall include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials to be stored on-site. All workers on- site will be required to be trained on safe handling and spill prevention procedures for all materials used during construction. Regular tailgate safety meetings shall be held and all workers that are expected on the site during the week shall be required to attend. 5.5.6 Concrete Washout Areas A temporary concrete washout area shall be provided for every project where concrete will be poured or otherwise formed on-site and shall consist of an excavated or above-ground lined construction pit Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Page 21 2241067 Page 83 of 1174
