Metal Mining SWMP Guidance Document <br />Page 7 <br />Most facilities already adhere to some form of "Good Housekeeping" routine, whether they realize it or not. <br />Industries must now put these practices down in writing and ensure that they aze adequate to meet the needs of <br />the facility. To prepaze this section, begin by summarizing any activities which already take place, such as <br />trash removal, oil recycling, etc. <br />Most good housekeeping practices involve simple common sense. The basic pollution prevention concept is that <br />a clean site will have less potential for stormwater contamination. The following checklist can serve as a <br />starting point for the assessment of existing good housekeeping practices: <br />are outside azeas kept in a neat and orderly condition? <br />is there evidence of drips or leaks from equipment or machinery at the site? <br />is gazbage removed regulazly? <br />aze proper clean-up procedures used for spilled materials? <br />aze there abandoned machinery, parts, etc. azound the site? <br />is every effort made to order only materials that aze required, thus minimizing the amounts of materials <br />stored? <br />what other practices routinely performed constitute good housekeeping? (For example, aze maintenance <br />vehicles usually stored indoors?) <br />Set up a genera] Good Housekeeping plan with as many of the following items as possible, plus any additional <br />items pertinent to the site, or new ideas which aze not included in the list. The Good Housekeeping plan can <br />then be referred to later in the discussion on BMPs. <br />The following items aze typical examples of information to include in a Good Housekeeping plan: <br />Operation and Maintenance Techniques: <br />gazbage and waste materials must be picked up and disposed of regulazly. <br />signs will be posted at appropriate locations indicating where to dispose of waste oils and refuse. <br />locations where spill clean-up equipment and materials aze stored will be appropriately marked <br />bulletin boazds with updated Good Housekeeping procedures, tips, and reminders aze posted. <br />pollution prevention concepts will be publicized through posters, newsletters, mailings, workshops, etc. <br />fertilizers applied to landscaped azeas shall be judiciously applied, using only that quantity required. <br />The following good housekeeping BMPs aze recommended methods for the storage of materials including <br />lubricants, hydraulic fluids, vegetation maintenance materials (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc.), refuse, <br />etc.: <br />Material Storage and Inventorv: <br />the centralized used oil tank shall be emptied frequently enough to ensure it never reaches capacity (e.g., at <br />least once per month). This azea will be kept free of trash and spilled oil. <br />where practical, refuse and waste storage shall take place indoors, in a safe and sanitary fashion. <br />all refuse dumpsters and receptacles shall be equipped with functional lids to prevent precipitation from <br />entering. <br />storage containers, drums, and bags shall be stored away from direct traffic routes to prevent accidental <br />spills. <br />empty drums shall be covered to prevent collection of precipitation. <br />
