Street and Road Maintenance Sop
Stormwater pollution prevention procedures for street maintenance and repair projects including:
Purpose of SOP:
concrete curb and gutter work, concrete pouring, asphalt re-surfacing, paving, chip sealing, striping
and marking.
Location of SOP: (Indicate where SOP is kept – electronic or hard copy.)
Administrator of SOP:
(Indicate who reviews and updates SOP.)
Prerequisites
1. Employees should attend KICP general stormwater pollution prevention training. Contact KICP at 303-441-1564.
2. Employees performing the procedures in this SOP should refer to the materials in the References and Related
Procedures section of this SOP.
3. Obtain a Colorado Discharge Permit (https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/wq-commerce-and-industry-permits ) if
water will enter storm drainage system or waters of the state.
2. Concrete Work
When saw cutting concrete, use the minimum amount of water. Let the waste slurry dry and then sweep it up before
leaving the location. A wet vacuum may also be used to pick up the waste slurry immediately after cutting is complete.
Do not allow slurry to reach storm drains.
Designate a “Concrete Wash out Area” that is as far as possible from any surface waters, storm drain inlets or drainage
ditches and is located in a low area where wash water will pool and soak into the ground.
Concrete trucks must washout in the wash out area or into a container such as a kiddy pool or wheelbarrow.
Maintain the wash out area, inspect it for clean out needs, and check for run-on and run-off.
The debris from the wash out area must be taken to a permanent disposal site when the washout is full and when the
project is complete.
5. Re-surfacing or Paving
Re-seal or pave only on dry days when no rain is expected. Cease all activities when rain threatens
If possible, transfer, store, pre-heat and load hot asphalt far away from storm drain inlets.
Protect or block downstream storm drain inlets (within 25 feet) from debris from maintenance work (asphalt cap, chip
sealing, concrete breaking, or saw cutting). Leave covers or berms in place until the job is complete
Employee Training
Al applicable employees should be trained in general stormwater pollution prevention including how to recognize and
report illegal connections or discharges.
