Construction BMP Tip: Staging Areas
|
|
Are BMPs properly installed at your construction project’s staging area?
Staging areas are approved locations on construction sites where construction equipment, vehicles, materials, and other construction-related materials are stored. Flat areas located away from concentrated runoff, drainage systems, and open waterbodies are ideal locations for construction staging areas. Ensure ample space is available for equipment and materials to be stored through the duration of the project.
