    Outdoor Loading/Unloading Area

    Loading / unloading areas should be kept clean and any spills should be cleaned up immediately.  Items should be loaded/unloaded in a covered area to prevent contact with stormwater.   Also, spill kits and/or other stormwater devices should be used (e.g. mat to cover drywell when loading/unloading).

    Here are a few examples of loading/unloading areas:

    ​Improper loading/unloading area

    Flooded loading dock - example of bad storm water management

    Loading area full of trash and standing water. Loading docks with drywells should drain within 36 hours after a rain event.
