Meadow Creek flows under the yard and is directly visible in this drain. In the background, lawn mowing equipment sits near the former location of a double-walled fuel storage tank. A petroleum spill that is allowed to enter this drain from the fueling area will have an immediate impact on Meadow Creek and the Dell Pond. Employees working in the area should be especially careful when working near the drain.

The new location of the double-walled fuel storage tank. The new location increases the distance from the tank to the nearest storm drop inlet. The building also acts as a buffer to prevent spills from flowing directly into the drain shown in the previous picture.

All equipment should be washed at the designated equipment washing facility. The drain in the center of the concrete pad goes directly to the sanitary sewer, ensuring that any contaminants and detergents do not pollute Meadow Creek.

The new salt storage shed at the yard minimizes the amount of runoff from the salt piles. Salt is stored at the yard to be used on sidewalks and roadways in the winter. The use of salt is minimized to the greatest degree possible.

Materials such as bricks and cinderblocks can safely be stored outside. Any material, such as bags of concrete, that may potentially create contaminated runoff when exposed to stormwater should be stored inside or covered with a tarp.

The new recycling facility constructed in the Yard. This facility is covered and has a drain which connects directly to the sanitary sewer. The roof minimizes stormwater contact with containers being processed, while the sanitary drain prevents water contaminated with waste residue from entering Meadow Creek.
