Multi-Family/Non-Res. Credit: Parking Lot/Private Street Sweeping
The Stormwater Utility dispute & appeals deadline is Sunday, October 20.
Definition: Streets, roads, highways, and parking lots accumulate pollutants that when washed off by stormwater can cause water pollution. Street sweeping can remove these pollutants, including sediment, debris, yard waste, trash, and deicing materials.
Guidelines: Property owners must hire a street sweeping contractor to do street sweeping of the parking lot. The area must be free of parked cars while sweeping is done. The contractor must use either:
- Regenerative-Air Sweepers (RAS): Sweeper is equipped with a sweeping head which creates suction and uses forced air to transfer street debris into the hopper.
- Vacuum Assisted Sweepers (VAS): Sweeper is equipped with a high-power vacuum to suction debris from street surface.
Additionally, debris collected by sweeper must be disposed of according to local and State regulations.
Annual or Ongoing credit: Annual
Percent Credit: 10%
Minimum: 1,000 square feet or 100% of parking lot/private street area, whichever is less. No credit offered if <300 square feet. Make 1 pass over the entire parking lot or private street four times per calendar year, during the months of March through November.
Frequency of re-certification: Annual credit
