Welcome Doug and thank you for your interest about this very significant
source of water pollution. Outdoor hard surfaces need to be cleaned. One
quart of used motor oil contaminates 250,000 gallons of fresh water!

Our company is involved in cleaning outdoor hard surfaces that are ladened
with oil and grease, such as large parking structures/lots gas stations,
refineries, shipping ports, transit stations, etc.

There is quite of bit of information in our website www.parkerwest.com about
this significant source of storm drain runoff pollution which is generated
by conventional methods for cleaning these types of surfaces, utilizing
pressure washing equipment. It also explins how we clean these types of
surfaces that prevents storm drain runoff contamination. Visit our FAQ
section and then go into our equipment page and go to the top where it
states you can download info regarding our new Driving Pressure
Washer/Wastewater Recycling System.

I have also attached a couple of articles that was published this month in
Parking Professional Magazine and one that was published in Storm Water
Magazine which explains how these to stop this source of pollution.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Subject: [StormwaterPro] Hello All...


Hello all involved with SWPPP's, I'd like to introduce myself and let you
know why I have joined this group. My name is Doug, living in the beautiful
foothills of Northern California's gold country. I have recently applied
for a position regarding SWPPP's and at this time I am the absolute novice
on this subject. I would like to listen into your discussions to learn what
I can thru your vast experiences and findings. I have always wondered
driving down the highway during the first rain of the year, when the guy on
the radio says " be extra careful this a.m. as the roads are covered with
gas and oil, and will be extra slick" Ya think? I know where it all goes
and basically how it gets there, but what impact does it have on the
environment? How can this be managed? What steps are taken to help to
insure the safety to the enviroment on a city by city level?
So, if you folks don't mind, Rainondoug would very much like to take a
listen to your discussions. I thank you all in advance for this
opportunity.

Thanks Kindly

Doug
Nortern California
