Outdoor Loading/Unloading Area

​Share this page​

Loading / unloading areas should be kept clean and any spills should be cleaned up immediately.  Items should be loaded/unloaded in a covered area to prevent contact with stormwater.   Also, spill kits and/or other stormwater devices should be used (e.g. mat to cover drywell when loading/unloading).

Here are a few examples of loading/unloading areas:
