Gas Station Operating Practices
INSPECT
Inspect and clean
storm drain inlets and catch basins within the facility’s
boundary.
SPOT CLEAN
“Spot
clean” leaks and spills routinely. A leak or spill isn’t
cleaned up until the contaminated absorbent is picked up and
properly disposed of.
WASTE RECEPTACLES
Prevent
stormwater pollution at waste receptacles and air/water supply
stations. Protect these areas from runoff (e.g. roofing areas,
berming or grading areas). Maintain these areas and keep them
clear of debris and litter. Use water tight receptacles for
trash and keep the lids closed.
DRY CLEANUP
METHODS
Use dry
cleanup methods around your station. Sweep up debris and litter
and use rags and absorbents for wet spills and/or leaks. Never wash down fueling or service
areas unless the water can be collected and disposed of properly.
