Modifications per required Admin Update: TSDMinimum Control Measure: Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping forMunicipal OperationsSection II.B.6.2 – Storage and use of salt for snow removal:Hopewell Public Works’ salt storage building was destroyed in May 2005by a fire and replaced by a larger dome structure. The larger capacity ofthe new structure will reduce and/or eliminate the need for long-termoutdoor storage of salt. During snow events salt and sand are mixedoutside and loaded into the spreaders for application on the roadways.We continue to “tweak” our practices for the reduction of the use of saltby substituting liquid deicers and decreasing the ratio of salt to sand mixesthat are applied to the roadways.Schedule and Evaluation: This is difficult to obtain, as no two weatherevents are exactly similar in all regards.Responsible Party: The Streets Supervisor and The Account ClerkNecessary Documents: Received delivery documents for materials.Measurable goals: No good indicator due to the variability of the weatherbut we can try to compare salt, sand, and chemical use from year-toyear.Items to be reported in the Annual Report: Copies of the receiveddocuments and an estimate of materials remaining and not used.Modifications per required Admin Update: TSDMinimum Control Measure: Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping forMunicipal OperationsSection II.B.6.3 – City Garage and fueling Station Operation:40

Self-contained units designed for working on radiators,brakes, air conditioners, and fuel tanks are a means of pollutionprevention.Schedule and Evaluation: On-going standard working practices requirethat we handle these potential pollutants in a responsible manner.Responsible Party: The Garage Supervisor.Necessary Documents: We will document major spills and exceptions toour standard operating practices.Measurable goals: No documented major spills or deviation from normalprocedures involving recyclables.Items to be reported in the Annual Report: Document of major spills andincidents that deviate from standard operating practices involvingrecyclable products.Modifications per required Admin Update: TSDMinimum Control Measure: Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping forMunicipal OperationsSection II.B.6.4 - Operation of the Citizen’s Convenience Center:Hopewell closed its landfill in September 1993, and since has contractedresidential refuse pickup. This refuse is taken to a landfill in HenricoCounty. Because of the loss of our landfill, we opened and operate aCitizen’s Convenience Center (CCC).
