Town of Wake Forest Public Works Department
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
Introduction
The Town of Wake Forest has developed Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPP) Plans for town
owned facilities. This SWPP addresses Stormwater pollution prevention for the Public Works
Department. This plan includes seven (7) key parts including site descriptions, the pollution prevention
team, activities that may cause pollution, control measures schedules and procedures, spill response
plans, inspections and monitoring, and employee training.
1. Site Descriptions
The Public Works Department is located at 234 Friendship Chapel Road. The facility was built in 1994
but has been modified and updated over the years. There are several buildings located on the Public
Works Facility. Each building serves a different purpose and is maintained by different members of the
Town staff. Below is a list of the buildings and the associated employee responsible for day to day
operations:
1. Public Works Offices - Mickey Rochelle
2. Warehouse - Randy Driver
3. Fleet Maintenance/Vehicle Wash - Brent Drendall
4. Streets/Solid Waste Building - Tim Bailey
5. Streets Shelter- Tim Bailey
5. Solid Waste Shelter - Chad Hildebrandt
A site plan is provided in Appendix A where all buildings are identified. The site map includes the
Stormwater GIS information available from Town records. These features will aide in identifying the
stormwater outfall for the site in the case of a spill or emergency. Areas where activities that may cause
pollution are identified on the site map.
2. Pollution Prevention Team
The Pollution Prevention Team is responsible for maintaining and implementing the SWPPP. Tile
Pollution Prevention Team will evaluate the effectiveness of the SWPPP at a minimum of every 5 years,
or when changes are made on site that may impact the effectiveness of the stormwater infrastructure
such as grading, changes to impervious surface, or new staff activities. The Stormwater Engineer will be
in charge of initiating the review of the SWPP. The members of the Pollution Prevention Team for this
SWPPP are:
1. Magda Holloway - Public Works Director
2. Tim Bailey - Streets Supervisor
3. Monica Sarna - Stormwater Engineer
4. Brent Drendall - Fleet Manager
S. Mickey Rochelle - Facilities Manager

3. Activities That May Cause Pollution
The daily operations that occur at the Public Works facility have been evaluated to identify all activities
where leaks and spills could occur, as well as areas where materials stored. An investigation has been
completed at the site to observe these activities and ensure that proper protections are being utilized to
prevent stormwater pollution. The following activities occur at all Town of Wake Forest Public Works
facility:
1. Vehicle Maintenance
2. Oil Changes 2zt--
3. Vehicle washing
4. Storage of materials
S. Equipment Maintenance
All vehicle maintenance occurs in the Fleet Maintenance facility. All vehicles are serviced monthly to
ensure town owned vehicles are not contributing to street and parking lot pollution. The fleet
maintenance staff is trained annually in spill response procedures, and there are two spill kit available in
the building. All oil changes take place in the Fleet Maintenance facility, and the Town participates in a
used oil recycling program with Nobel Oil.
The vehicle washing station is available to all employees who need to wash their town owned vehicle or
town equipment. This station utilizes an oil/water separator and a sediment separator which
discharges to municipal sanitary sewer system. The fleet department is responsible for annual
maintenance of the wash bay. All cleaning supplies are biodegradable and are stored indoors in a
temperate controlled room adjacent to the Streets Shelter.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for all hazardous materials that are present at the
Public Works Facility. Supervisors are responsible for the upkeep and location of MSDS sheets.
Hazardous materials are stored in fire safety cabinets located in the Streets/Solid Waste/Fleet
Maintenance building. Storage of equipment and materials needed for Public Works operations are also
stored on site. All equipment is cleaned at the washing station, and materials are properly stored to
prevent pollution and damage.
A designated area at the end of the warehouse dock is used as storage for leaking transformers. This
area is equipped with spill control containers, as well as absorbent mats for any spills that may get on
the concrete.
All re -fueling occurs offsite and does not pose as a pollution risk.
4. Control Measures, Schedules, and Procedures
The Public Works Department utilizes staff training as the number one pollution prevention. Proper
storage of materials and PPE allows are staff to be prepared for preventing and containing a spill. All
products are stored with clear labeling and they are inspected on a weekly basis for leaks or spills. The
public works staff also uses 100% bio-degradable soap for the wash bay. Vehicle & equipment washing
activities are performed at the designated wash bay where the water runoff -is collected and directed to
the oil / water separator prior to discharging to municipal sanitary sewer system. Three spill kits and
inlet covers are located at Public Works. The warehouse also is prepared with spill control containers
and absorbent mats. These measures have been identified in the site plan in A�endix A.
Basic Housekeeping practices including:
• Hazardous material storage in clearly labeled Fire Safe cabinets
• Material Safety Data Sheet available for all hazardous materials on site

• Spill Kits includes: 36.6 gallon absorbency- 30 Gallon Universal Spill Kit, Pro Grade, 75 Pc:
Overpack Drum, 50 Heavy Duty Pads 15"x19", 2 Socks 3"x12% 6 Socks 3"x4% 5 Pillows 18"x18",
Chemical
• Where present, solid waste containers are labeled "No Hazardous Waste Accepted" with icons
specifically for appliances, batteries, liquids or chemicals, tires, drums or containers, and no
biohazardous waste.
S. Spill Response Plans
The Town of Wake Forest has developed a spill response plan for all Town -owned facilities. The Spill
Response plan is in Appendix B for reference.
6.1nspections and Monitoring
Site inspections will be performed as needed when changes are made on .wite th<) r may impact the
effectiveness of the stormwater infrastructure such as grading, changes to impervious surface, or new
activities. At a minimum all sites will be inspected when re-evaluating the SWPPP every five (5) years.
The SCM located at Public Works will be inspected on an annual basis as part of the Town's annual SCM
inspections. Criterium for inspections and results including recommendations are generated and stored
utilizing our inspections system "New World". All other site inspections performed by the Facilities staff
are scheduled, generated, and recorded in the Asset Essentials software.
7. Employee Training
All employees will be assigned to read the SWPPP in the human resources portal DMS. This system
keeps an inventory of all assigned training and required signature sign off for receipt. All new
employees will be assigned the SWPPP for review as part of their on -boarding process. If major updates
are made to the SWPPP it will be reassigned to all employees within the department.
In addition, we have created a training document for Spill Response and Illicit Discharge Detection &
Elimination. All employees are required to complete this training upon hire, and once every five (5)
years for existing employees. This training instructs employees on their roles in identifying pollution
sources, best practices to prevent spills, and how to report stormwater pollution at their respective
worksite.
Key Public Works personnel are assigned annual spill response training, including the engineers, fleet
maintenance, and street supervisors. The Solid Waste and Streets teams receive Stormwater Pollution
Awareness training as part of their general safety briefings. This training encourages the staff to report
illicit discharges and potential pollution to their supervisors.

Spill Prevention & Response Plan
For:
(facility name and address)
Federal and State Phase II stormwater regulations require municipal facilities to implement an
operation and maintenance program that includes an employee training component and has the
goal of preventing and reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. Preventing spills of
materials and wastes is a significant component of complying with these regulations. However,
even with the best prevention efforts, spills may still occur. When they do, it is up to appropriately
trained facility personnel to respond quickly and effectively to clean-up the spilled material or
notify someone who can. This Spill Response Plan is designed as a guideline for municipal facilities
that have been determined to have significant potential for generating polluted stormwater
runoff to develop site specific individual Spill Response and Prevention Plans. The plan should be
kept in a central location that is easily accessible for employees and updated annually or as site
specific operations change.
Instructions
Each facility can include any/all of the following as applicable to this spill response plan.

Clean-UD Procedures
Identify the spilled chemicals prior to responding. This will determine the level of training and
protection required to clean up. The level of training and protection will be dependent on the
nature of the spill. Spilled chemicals should be effectively and quickly contained and cleaned up.
Employees should clean up spills themselves only if properly trained and protected. Employees
who are not trained in spill cleanup procedures should report the spill to the responsible
person(s) listed above, warn other employees, and leave the area.
The Maximum Cleanup Amounts that properly trained employee can clean up are listed on page
7. In the event of spills greater than these amounts, dial 911 or contact the fire department.
The following general guidelines should be followed for evacuation, spill control, notification of
proper authorities, and general emergency procedures in the event of a chemical incident in
which there is potential for a significant release of hazardous materials.
1. Evacuation
Persons in the immediate vicinity of a spill should immediately evacuate the premises
(except for employees with training in the spill response in circumstances described
below). If the spill is of "medium" or "large" size, as defined on Pages 3-4, or if the spill
seems hazardous, immediately contact the fire department.
2. Spill Control Techniques
Once a spill has occurred, the employee needs to decide whether the spill is small enough
to handle without outside assistance. Only employees with training in spill response
should attempt to contain or cleanup a spill.
NOTE: If you are cleaning up a spill yourself, make sure you are aware of the hazards
associated with the materials spilled, have adequate ventilation, and proper personal
protective equipment (PPE). Containerize all residual chemical and cleanup materials for
proper waste characterization and disposal.
Spill control equipment should be located wherever significant quantities of hazardous
materials are received or stored. Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), absorbents, over -pack
containers, container patch kits, spill dams, shovels, floor dry, acid/base neutralizers, and
"caution -keep out" signs are common spill response items.
3. Spill Response and Cleanup
Chemical spills are divided into three categories: Small, Medium, or Large. Response and
cleanup procedures vary depending on the size of the spill.
3 1 P a g e

Small Spills: Any spill that is less than 0.25 quarts is considered a small spill. Small spills
are generally handled by internal personnel and usually do not require an emergency
response by police or fire department HAZMAT teams.
✓ Quickly control the spill by stopping or securing the spill source. This could be as
simple as up -righting a container and using floor -dry or absorbent pads to soak up
spilled material. Wear gloves and protective clothing, if necessary.
✓ Put spill material and absorbents in secure containers if any are available.
✓ Consult with the Facility Responsible Person and SDSs for spill and waste disposal
procedures.
✓ In some instances, the area of the spill should not be washed with water. Use Dry
Cleanup Methods and never wash spills down the drain, onto a storm drain or onto
the driveway or parking lot.
✓ Both the spilled material and the absorbent may be considered regulated wastes and
must be disposed of in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations.
Medium Spills: Any spill that exceeds 0.25 quarts but is less than 5 quarts. Outside
emergency response personnel (police and fire department HAZMAT teams) should
usually be called for medium spills. Common sense should dictate when it is necessary to
call them.
✓ Immediately try to help contain the spill at its source by simple measures only. This
means quickly up righting a container, or putting a lid on a container, if possible. Do
not use absorbents unless they are immediately available. Once you have made a
quick attempt to contain the spill, or once you have quickly determined you cannot
take any brief containment measures, leave the area and alert Emergency Responders
at 911. Closing doors behind you while leaving helps contain fumes from spills. Give
police accurate information as to the location, chemical, and estimated amount of the
spill.
✓ Evaluate the area outside the spill. Engines and electrical equipment near the spill
area must be turned off. This eliminates various sources of ignition in the area. Advise
Emergency Responders on how to turn off engines or electrical sources. Do not go
back into the spill area once you have left. Help emergency responders by trying to
determine how to shut off heating, air conditioning equipment, or air circulating
equipment, if necessary.
✓ If emergency responders evacuate the spill area, follow their instructions in leaving
the area.
✓ After emergency responders have contained the spill, be prepared to assist them with
any other information that may be necessary, such as SDSs and questions about the
4 1 P a g e

facility. Emergency responders or trained personnel with proper personal protective
equipment will then clean up the spill residue. Do not re-enter the area until the
responder in charge gives the all clear. Be prepared to assist these persons from
outside the spill area by providing SDSs, absorbents, and containers.
✓ Reports must be filed with proper authorities. It is the responsibility of the spiller to
inform both his/her supervisor and the emergency responders as to what caused the
spill. The response for large spills is similar to the procedures for medium spills, except
that the exposure danger is greater.
Large Spills: Any spill involving flammable liquid that is more than 5 quarts; and any
"running" spill, where the source of the spill has not been contained or flow has not been
stopped.
✓ Leave the area and notify Emergency Responders (911). Give the operator the spill
location, chemical name, and approximate amount.
✓ From a safe area, attempt to get SDS information for the spilled chemical for the
emergency responders to use. Be prepared to advise responders as to any ignition
sources, engines, electrical power, or air conditioning/ventilation systems that may
need to be shut off. Advise responders of any absorbents, containers, or spill control
equipment that may be available. This may need to be done from a remote area. Use
radio or phone to assist from a distance, if necessary.
✓ Only emergency response personnel, in accordance with their own established
procedures, should handle large spills, especially those that are continuous.
Remember, once the emergency responders are present, the area is under their
control and no one may reenter the area until the responder in charge gives the all
clear.
✓ Provide information for reports to supervisors and responders, (see medium spills,
above).
Reporting Spills
All chemical spills, regardless of size, should be reported as soon as possible to the Facility
Responsible Person. The Responsible Person will report the spill if it is greater than the CERCLA
Reportable Quantity iRQI or greater than 25 gallons of fuel, reaches navigable waters, or
threatens to reach navigable waters. It should be reported to at least one of the following: Fire
Department, 911, NCDEQ at 919-807-6308, or the National Response Center at 800-424-8802. In
the event of a release of non -hazardous materials, The Responsible Person shall notify the town
in person or by phone or facsimile no later than the next business day. Notifications in person or
by phone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed and mailed to the town within three
business days of the phone notice as noted in Sec 32-443 Town Code of Ordinances.
