<br />CHAPTER <br />• 4 <br />SITE-SPECIFIC INDUSTRIAL STORM WATER BMPs <br />This chapter describes some of the possible Best Management Practices (BMPs) that you might <br />include in your Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan so that pollutants from your site do not mix <br />with storm water. <br />Table 4.1 provides an easy index of the BMP descriptions that follow. The BMPs are grouped by <br />section into six categories: Flow Diversion Practices; Exposure Minimization Practices; Mitigative <br />Practices; Other Preventive Practices; Sediment and Erosion Prevention Practices; and Infiltration <br />Practices. <br />The following information is provided for each BMP: (1) description of the BMP; (2) when and <br />where the BMP can be used; (3) factors that should be considered when using the BMP; and <br />(4) advantages and disadvantages of the BMP. More detailed fact sheets for a limited number of <br />the Sediment and Erosion Prevention Practices are included as Appendix E. When designing these <br />structural controls, EPA recommends that you refer to any State or local storm water management <br />• design standards. <br />TABLE 4.1 INDEX OF SITE-SPECIFIC INDUSTRIAL STORM WATER BMPs <br />• <br />;Section 4.1 - Flow-Diversion Practices Page 4-3 <br />Storm Water Conveyances 4-4 <br />Diversion Dikes 4-7 <br />Graded Areas and Pavement 4-9 <br />Sectio................... <br />Exposure Minimization Practices <br />4-11 <br />Containment Diking 4-12 <br />Curbing 4-14 <br />Drip Pans 4-16 <br />Collection Basins 4-18 <br />Sumps 4-20 <br />Covering 4-22 <br />Vehicle Positioning 4-25 <br />Loading and Unloading by Air Pressure or Vacuum 4-26 <br />4-1
