Title:
Waste Management and Materials Pollution Control BMPs

Instructions:
INSTRUCTIONS 


 


n Waste management consists of implementing procedural and structural BMPs for collecting, handling, storing and disposing of wastes generated by a construction project to prevent the release of waste materials into stormwater discharges. Wastes will to be generated during construction; however, the methods in which the wastes are collected, stored, and removed will determine the success of the waste management pollution control BMPs. Construction site wastes can range from residues collected from non-stormwater discharges (i.e. paint removal) to general site litter and debris (i.e., empty marker paint cans). 


 


n Material pollution control (materials handling) consist of implementing procedural and structural BMPs for handling, storing, and using construction materials to prevent the release of those materials into stormwater discharges. The amount and type of construction materials to be utilized at the site will be dependent upon the type of construction and the length of the construction period. The materials may be used continuously, such as fuel for vehicles and equipment, or the materials may be used for a discrete period, such as fertilizer for landscaping. 


 


n Waste management and materials pollution control BMPs must be implemented to minimize stormwater contact with construction materials, wastes and service areas, and to prevent materials and wastes from being discharged off site. 


 


n Review project activities to identify likely construction materials and wastes. Identify materials and wastes with special handling or disposal requirements, such as lead contaminated soils. List anticipated materials and wastes to the text tab. 


 


n Based on the listed materials and wastes, use the following waste management and materials pollution controls BMP consideration checklist to select appropriate BMPs. 


 


n Describe locations and scheduled installations for each selected waste management and materials pollution control BMPs. For Solid Waste Management WM-5, a list of waste disposal facilities and the type of waste to be disposed at each facility is provided.

RequiredText:
The following BMP implementation table indicates the BMPs that have been selected to control pollutants from construction site wastes and materials. Implementation and locations of materials handling and waste management BMPs are shown on the WPCDs in Attachment A. Any additional BMP detail drawings necessary to convey site specific BMP configurations can also be found in Attachment A of this WPCP. The following list of BMPs and narrative explain how the selected BMPs will be incorporated into the project.
