Best Management Practices in use at the Parking and Transportation facility A cover has been placed over the bus fueling station. Berms have also been placed around the fueling station. Both of these features will help to contain fuel in the event of a spill. The berms will prevent the fuel from draining into the storm sewer, while the canopy prevents rain from washing the spill away in the event a spill happens during a storm event. Thanks to these features, any fueling spill can be cleaned up properly without any threat to local water quality. Another view of the berms at the bus fueling station. A canopy has also been placed over the vehicle fueling area to prevent rain from falling on the fuel in the event of a spill. A bus washing station has been created on site to prevent dirty, soapy water from entering the storm sewer network. A valved drain located within the berms can be directed to the sanitary sewer while busses are being washed. When not in use, the drain empties to the storm sewer network to allow the proper drainage of rainfall. Chemicals, such as antifreeze, are stored on site inside the building. While the building itself provides adequate containment in the event of a spill, P&T added an extra berm in the doorway to ensure that chemicals from their site cannot contminate local waterways. Drums containing petroleum products, like this waste oil drum, have special containment to prevent catch any fluid in the event of a leak.   Go Back	LeftColumn
