1084.12 VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT FUELING AREAS.

   (a)    Vehicle and equipment fueling areas are designed and operated to minimize the potential for spilled fuel and leaked fluids coming into contact with storm water. Even very small spills, when they happen every day, add up to a lot of fuel in the drainage system.

   (b)   The following are the selected BMPs for the proper operation of a fueling area at the facility:

      (1)   A paved area or concrete slab will be used for the fueling area (concrete is preferred because fuel and oils cause asphalt to deteriorate).

      (2)   Gasoline overflows and spills will be cleaned using dry methods as described in Section 1084.05. Spills will not be allowed to run off or evaporate, and will not be flushed with a hose. Absorbent material will be used and disposed of as described in Section 1084.05.

      (3)   Dry cleanup materials will be kept in the fueling area, and employees will be instructed in the proper dry clean up methods described in Section 1084.05. Facility personnel will inspect the area every day for gasoline, motor oil, or other fluids that may have leaked.

      (4)   All fuels must be in an approved, properly marked container and stored in an approved explosion proof cabinet.

      (5)   All large vehicles shall be fueled offsite at an approved commercial fueling business. (Ord. 2011-44. Passed 8-1-11.)
