Impact/Purpose:
This report summarizes current best management practices for fueling facilities recommended by a various academic, watershed protection, state, county, and municipal stormwater management resources.
Description:
Fueling facilities generate stormwater runoff from precipitation such as rainstorms and snowfall. Runoff can transport solids, trace metals, hydrocarbons, road salts, trash and debris that may impair receiving water bodies. Effective management of pollutant transport from fueling facilities entails hydraulic management of stormwater generated at these sites and source reduction of pollutants. Current Best management practices for hydraulic control and treatment of runoff and planning and maintenance approaches for reducing pollution generation at fueling facilities is presented.
