Measurable goals: The BMP maintained as required.Items to be reported in the Annual Report: Copy of our decision and/oragreement.Modifications per required Admin Update: TSDMinimum Control Measure: Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping forMunicipal Operations(i)(ii)You must develop and implement an operation andmaintenance program that includes a training component andhas the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runofffrom municipal operations. Using training materials that areavailable from EPA, your State, Tribe, or other organizations, yourprogram must include employee training to prevent and reducestormwater pollution from activities such as park and openspace maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, newconstruction and land disturbances, and stormwater systemmaintenance.Guidance: EPA recommends that, at a minimum, you considerthe following in developing your program: maintenanceactivities, maintenance schedules, and long-term inspectionprocedures for structural and non-structural stormwater controlsto reduce floatables and other pollutants discharged from yourseparate storm sewers; controls for reducing or eliminating thedischarge of pollutants from streets, roads, highways, municipalparking lots, maintenance and storage yards, fleet ormaintenance shops with outdoor storage areas, salt/sandstorage locations and snow disposal areas operated by you,and waste transfer stations; procedures for properly disposing ofwaste removed from separate storm sewers and areas listedabove (such as dredge spoil, accumulated sediments,floatables, and other debris): and ways to ensure that new floodmanagement projects assess the impacts on water quality andexamine existing projects for incorporating additional waterquality protection devices or practices. Operation andmaintenance should be an integral component of allstormwater management programs. This measure is intended toimprove the efficiency of these programs and require newprograms where necessary. Properly developed andimplemented operation and maintenance programs reduce the38
isk of water quality problems.Minimum Control Measure: Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping forMunicipal OperationsSection II.B.6.1 – Maintenance Activities and Operations:Hopewell has two street sweepers and operates each one nearly 7 hoursper day. One sweeper operates during the day shift and for the most partthis operator is dedicated to sweeping streets. Because of our workschedule, there are some times that we “borrow” the day sweeperoperator to augment other crews. The other sweeper is operated on themidnight schedule and his concentration is the major roadways and nonresidentialareas. Rarely is he assigned other duties. The night sweeperaverages around 100 – 120 miles per week and the day sweeperaverages about 50 – 80 miles per week. We believe that our streetsweeping efforts have the most positive affect on our stormwater programand as such are probably the most important activity to achieving ourstormwater management goals.Materials swept from City roads and parking lots are disposed of in roll-offcontainers and taken to a Henrico County landfill.City crews also police trash along the roadside approximately two days aweek.Schedule and Evaluation: We just started tracking mileage of streetsswept and we can use that information to compare monthly productionrate. Because we only recently started tracking no benchmark has beenestablished as an indicator of productivity.Responsible Party: The Street Maintenance Supervisor.Necessary Documents: Sweeper operator time sheets indicating theareas and mileage swept.Measurable goals: After a “baseline” is established a monthly comparisoncan be made from year-to-year.Items to be reported in the Annual Report: We will report lane miles ofroadways swept on an annual basis.39
