Chapter 4-Site-Specific Industrial Storm Water BMPs <br />Sweeping' <br />What Is It <br />Sweeping with brooms, squeegees, or other mechanical devices is used to remove small quantities <br />of dry chemicals and dry solids from areas that are exposed to precipitation or storm water runoff. <br />These areas may include dust or contaminant covered bags, drums containing remaining materials <br />on their lids, areas housing enclosed or covered materials, and spills of dry chemicals and dry solids <br />in locations on the industrial site. Cleaning by sweeping with brooms is a low cost practice that <br />can be performed by all employees and requires no special equipment or training. <br />When and Where to Use It <br />Sweeping can be used at many material handling areas and process areas in all types of industrial <br />facilities. Timing is an important consideration for all mitigative practices. To be effective as a <br />storm water control, cleanup must take place before rainfall or contact with storm water runoff or <br />before an outside area is hosed down. <br />Do not limit your cleanup activities to those outside activities that are exposed to rainfall. In many <br />cases, tracking of materials to the outside from areas that are enclosed or covered (e.g., on shoes) <br />may also occur. <br />What to Consider <br />Store brooms appropriately and do not expose them to precipitation. In addition, rules of <br />compatibility also apply. Do not use the same broom to clean up two chemicals that are <br />incompatible. Determine the compatibility between the brooms themselves and the chemical of <br />concern before using this practice. In some instances, chemicals should be vacuumed instead of <br />swept. Be sure that swept material is disposed of properly. <br />Advantages of Sweeping <br />• Is inexpensive <br />• Requires no special training <br />• Provides -=cycling opportunities <br />Disadvantages of Sweeping <br />• Is a labor-intensive practice <br />• Is limited to small releases of dry materials <br />4-29
