Pollution Prevention

Pollution Prevention essentially means eliminating or reducing the amount and toxicity of potentially harmful substances at their sources, prior to generation, treatment, off-site recycling or disposal.

Pollution Prevention BMPsPollution Prevention emphasizes preventing or minimizing pollution, rather than controlling it once it is generated. Pollution from construction projects and industrial sites can fall into numerous catagories including hazardous and toxic waste, sanitary waste, oil and grease, pesticides, track-out and concrete washout.

Pollution Prevention can be accomplished on a project site by the following:

 

  • Implement and practice Pollution Prevention Best Management Practices (BMPs) which will reduce or eliminate the addition of pollutants to stormwater discharges.
  • Observe and analyze potential project site pollutant sources.
  • Educate and implement proper handling and/or waste disposal practices.
  • Employee education of Polliution Prevention measures.
  • Implementing other principles and practices that will add to the awareness and precautionary measures of pollutants leaving a project site.

Some mandatory Principles and Practices of Pollution Prevention include: (1) Good Housekeeping; (2) Material Storage; (3) Concrete Washout; (4) Spill Reporting; (5) Phasing and Sequencing BMPs; (6) Dust Control; and (7) Track-Out.

Recommend for any person looking to renew their CESCL

I needed to renew my CESCL card that was due to expire in a few months and I knew I wouldn't have a chance then. I took a period of relative downtime and was able to renew my card from my work desk. Material was well presented and discussed the real world elements of CESCL inspection and not hours of permit review. I will recommend it for any person looking to renew their CESCL.
