<br />Project Description:
<br />This project creates basic vehicle wash facilities at each fire house to ensure that vehicle washwater does not enter the storm system. Presently, each station
<br />washes vehicles daily, discharging detergents and cleansers to the storm drain. Its not feasible to centralize the washing process, as the vehicles must remain
<br />available. Proposed facilities will be minimal and provide basic protection to the drainage system.
<br />..Justification:
<br />Washing of emergency and fire vehicles, as presently done, discharges washwater into the storm system, including detergents, etc., and is a violation of both state
<br />and federal water quality regulations and local ordinances. As proposed, the new wash facilities will re-route washwater to the sanitary sewer system, and
<br />stormwater to the storm system. Where appropriate, low-impact washwater infiltration areas will be installed instead of piped systems.
<br />-Relation to Plans:
<br />This project will assist with federal and state regulatory compliance with provisions of the Clean Water Act's NPDES program, and Springfield's adopted Stormwater
<br />Management Plan. It will also bring the City into compliance with our own municipal code, which prohibits discharges of deleterious materials, such as wash water,
<br />to the storm system.
<br />Maintenance Impacts:
<br />Minimal. The proposed simple wash systems will include valuing installed on a standard catchbasin to redirect flows as appropriate. The basin will capture
<br />sediments, etc. as they presently do, while routing contaminated wash water to sanitary. No additional maintenance, other than normal cleanout, should be needed.
