4.2.4.7 VEHICLE WASHINGAlternative names: Car, Boat, Recreational Vehicles (RV), and EquipmentWashing.DESCRIPTIONVehicle and equipment washing can produce pollutant-laden water. Thepollutants come from the vehicle itself (i.e. sediment, automotive fluids, dust,heavy metals) or from the cleaning agents involved (i.e. detergents, solvents,and disinfectants). When washes are conducted outside on impervious surfacessuch as pavement, the pollutant-laden water will flow into the nearest stormdrain and enter streams and lakes without treatment. For this reason, vehiclewashing should be done at a commercial car or truck wash facility or at adesignated and contained vehicle washing area that is connected to the sewersystem, so that pollutant-laden water will be treated prior to discharge intonatural water bodies.For all boats planning to launch within the Lake <strong>Tahoe</strong> Basin, it required thatall inspections take place at roadside inspection stations only.
