Municipal Fleet and Building Maintenance Employee Training Series Green Country Stormwater Alliance (GCSA) May 19, 2017 Let’s talk about fleet maintenance and maintenance facilities. Prepared by INCOG

Fleet Maintenance General Guidelines Leaks and Spills Disposal Methods This presentation provides suggestions and ideas on controlling runoff pollution for the following activities: General Guidelines Leaks and Spills Disposal Methods Parts Cleaning Shop and Pavement Cleaning Fueling Washing City employees need to set the example for the community. The general public is always watching and as your educational program informs them of good and bad practices, they become watchdogs. You don’t want to be violating good housekeeping practices you expect them to follow.

General Guidelines Thoroughly train employees in storm water regulations and the safe handling and disposal of hazardous waste. Conduct all vehicle and equipment maintenance at designated locations, preferably inside the shop or outdoors on a paved, covered surface. Draft MS4 Audit Checklist asks: “BMP technical guidance document available to maintenance staff?” Little spills and leaks are much easier to cleanup when they occur on impervious surfaces. Also, these designated locations have spill kits and recycling receptacles handy.

General Guidelines Park damaged, leaking, or dirty vehicles under cover, if possible, to prevent exposure to rainfall. Contain leaking fluids and use an absorbent if necessary to transfer them to the appropriate waste container. Storm water protection is what this is all about. We want the opportunity to cleanup these spills before they get swept into a stormwater system.

General Guidelines Maintain a paper trail showing that proper handling and disposal practices are being followed. This includes: Purchasing documents Disposal records Testing data Licensing information Shipping records Documents showing how much material you purchased, how much was used, and then how and how much was disposed will allow you to account for these materials. Documents showing the purchase of a large quantity of material, but only the disposal of a small amount leaves one wondering where the remainder went. It is unaccounted for. If you purchased 15 barrels of new antifreeze last year, put 10 barrels of the new antifreeze in city vehicles, disposed of (recycled) the old antifreeze which would have been about 10 barrels, you should still have 5 barrels of new on hand. If you are using a shipping company, are they licensed to transport the materials you are sending with them?

General Guidelines Keep maintenance areas clean by promptly disposing of trash, debris, old parts and absorbents used on spills. Promptly dispose of fluids that have been collected in drip pans or other open containers. Recycle as much of the fluid as possible.

Leaks and Spills Regularly inspect for leaks or stains around vehicles and equipment. Use a drip pan or absorbent material to collect dripping fluids. Locate the source of leakage and stop further spillage by fixing the leak or draining the fluid. Draft MS4 Audit Checklist asks: “Public facilities inspected?” “Frequency?” It then goes on to ask if you are using a checklist for inspections. “Checklist used for inspections?” Numerous fresh oil spills are an indication good housekeeping practices are not being followed. Develop a checklist for inspections, then check the items off as you go through and make notes. This document will show that you are keeping an eye on things.

Leaks and Spills Clean up spills immediately to minimize safety hazards and deter spreading. Store cracked batteries in a leak proof container. Refer to the Materials Storage, Spill Cleanup and Disposal module for more information. Slippery floors can also be a safety hazard and these materials will be tracked out of the facility. Battery acid is very corrosive.

Disposal Methods Collect all used motor oil, anti-freeze, transmission fluid and hydraulic fluid and store them in separate containers by type. Make sure storage containers are properly labeled. Segregating materials prevents cross-contamination and enhances recycling. Mixing chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents, or different materials can make them difficult to recycle and greatly increase your disposal costs. Notice the clear “USED ANTIFREEZE” labeling.

Disposal Methods Some fleet maintenance products are considered hazardous under RCRA regulations, so placards on vehicles, buildings and special handling measures may be necessary. Disposal of hazardous waste typically requires special shipping papers (manifests), the use of a licensed transporter and a permitted disposal site. Remember, the waste is yours, “cradle to grave.” If one of your barrels shows up in the river or unpermitted landfill, you may get a bill for the clean-up or a portion of it. Make sure the transport vehicle has the proper placards. First in, first out keeps the inventory cycling through. Placards on building entrances can alert fire and emergency responders to potential hazards in the building in the event of an emergency.

Disposal Methods Track inventory to avoid the accumulation of expired or unusable materials. If possible, recycle used fluids, oil, transmission and hydraulic filters and batteries. Never dispose of used fluids in the trash. Some used filters and batteries could be considered hazardous waste. Landfills try to keep all fluids or liquids out. These liquids become the leachate that may later contaminate a groundwater.

Parts Cleaning Clean parts indoors and properly dispose of fluids, grease, dirt and other debris cleaned from these parts. Allow parts to fully drain before removing from the cleaning sink to reduce dripping of cleaning fluid to the floor. Keep lids closed on parts cleaning sinks when not in use. Safety: NO safety glasses, gloves or apron.

Parts Cleaning Mechanically clean parts by dry brushing or wiping before using a solvent or water based cleaner. A two part solvent cleaning process first using a dirty solvent, then a cleaner solvent may reduce the amount of solvent used. Don’t use a solvent if dry cleaning will work. If you first clean the majority of the debris from the part in a one basin and then finish cleaning in second (cleaner) basin, you may use less cleaner. The first basin can be dirtier and still be effective since the final cleaning will be in a cleaner solution. When the first basin gets too dirty to use, dispose of only that cleaner. The second basin now becomes the dirtier basin and pour up some fresh cleaner for the final cleaner. You will be able to use the cleaner longer (less waste and a cost saving) and have cleaner parts when finished.

Shop and Pavement Cleaning Use dry methods (sweeping, wiping, absorbents) to clean work areas as often as possible. Dispose of mop water properly. It is usually acceptable to pour it down a sanitary sewer drain. Draft MS4 Audit Checklist asks: “Are parking lots owned/operated by the permittee swept?” “At what frequency?”

Shop and Pavement Cleaning Don’t hose down outside work areas. In addition to regular, periodic cleaning, clean outside work areas when rain is in the forecast. Hosing down outside work areas just moves the pollutants to the stormwater system.

Fueling To prevent overfilling and spills, don’t top off the fuel tank or leave a vehicle being fueled unattended. Know where the emergency pump shut-off button is located. Keep absorbent materials on site for use in prompt cleanup of spills.

Fueling Periodically clean fueling areas using approved methods to remove accumulated fuel and grease. Fuel equipment at designated fueling areas rather than using mobile fueling. If mobile fueling is used, keep a spill kit on the fuel truck.

Washing Wash equipment and vehicles ONLY in designated facilities where the wash water drains to the sanitary sewer system or is collected and recycled. Wash water from these facilities generally goes through an oil and grease trap and then off to the wastewater treatment plant. This process keeps the pollutants out of the stormwater drainage system.

Safety and the Workplace For detailed answers to questions concerning safety and the workplace, call: Oklahoma Department of Labor OSHA Consultation Division 405-528-1500 x 254 The safe handling of chemicals and hazardous materials in general should be taken seriously to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Preventing Storm Water Pollution: What We Can Do Protecting water quality requires that all employees do their part to prevent storm water pollution.
