Can temporarily store street sweepings
today utilizing BMPs:
•Dewatering pad to sanitary sewer
•Dewater indoors with floor drains to sanitary
•Storage outside in bermed area where storm water
and leachate are properly managed
•Tarp storage piles to minimize leachate
generation and fugitive dust

Disposal of Street Sweepings
Avoid open dumping
Taken to a licensed Municipal Solid Waste Landfill ◦ Must be dewatered due to landfill restrictions.
Other alternatives
![Page 13: Solid Waste Issues at Maintenance Yards - Ohio EPA...Composting leaves, small brush (>4”) •Registration only Refers to: Leaves Grass Clippings, Garden Waste, Brush, Tree stumps/trunks,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071003/5fbfc94632ae70728b2a9889/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Administrative Updates
◦ Ohio EPA developing guidance document evaluating alternate management options.
![Page 14: Solid Waste Issues at Maintenance Yards - Ohio EPA...Composting leaves, small brush (>4”) •Registration only Refers to: Leaves Grass Clippings, Garden Waste, Brush, Tree stumps/trunks,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071003/5fbfc94632ae70728b2a9889/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
◦ Only for street sweeping materials that have not been affected by spills
Will not include catch basin cleanings at this time. Catch basin cleanings still a solid waste.
Would require keeping street sweepings separate from catch basin cleanings.

Roads/parking lot sub-grade, filling
potholes
Fill in median strips, or road shoulders
within publicly owned right-of-way
Aggregate in asphalt\cement
Re-use as winter traction abrasive
Alternate daily cover (ADC) at landfills
![Page 16: Solid Waste Issues at Maintenance Yards - Ohio EPA...Composting leaves, small brush (>4”) •Registration only Refers to: Leaves Grass Clippings, Garden Waste, Brush, Tree stumps/trunks,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071003/5fbfc94632ae70728b2a9889/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
◦ Must be prepared for use. Dewatering
◦ Screening - remove trash/debris
Fill/ADC/Aggregate: Large Particles - ¾’’ screen
Winter Traction: Small particles – ¾’’ & 50 screen
◦ Testing for contaminants-samples exceeding maximum limits dispose at MSW landfill
◦ Locate all fill at least 300 feet from any private/public potable water supply well
