Commercial Fleet Wash Ground Lease & Environmental SLA
Standard Institutional Concrete Pad Lease, Sand-Oil Interceptor & NPDES Clean Water Compliance
PROTOCOL v2026.1
1. Concrete Pad Apron & Sloped Infiltration Containment
Each wash bay concrete pad shall be constructed with 8-inch 4,000 PSI fiber-reinforced concrete with a minimum 1.5% inward slope toward center trench drains. Concrete curbing of minimum 6-inch height must surround all three sides to prevent wastewater run-off into perimeter municipal stormwater catch basins.
2. Sand-Grit Interceptor Pit & Hydrocarbon Skimmer Maintenance
Operator shall maintain a minimum 1,500-gallon 3-chamber sand/oil gravity interceptor pit. Heavy road grit, clay mud, and sediment settled in Chamber 1 shall be professionally vacuum-pumped whenever settled sludge reaches 30% of operating depth, or at a minimum interval of once every 60 calendar days. Manifest tracking logs must be retained for 3 years.
3. Closed-Loop Water Reclamation & Zero-Discharge Standard
Wash facility utilizes hydrocyclone separators and Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) units achieving 80%+ closed-loop water recycling. Water treated through the DAF system must maintain Total Suspended Solids (TSS) below 50 PPM prior to re-entering high-pressure triple-plunger wash pump manifolds.
4. Chemical & Detergent Biodegradability Standards
All soaps, degreasers, aluminum brighteners, and bug removers dispensed through automatic foaming arches or manual pressure wands must be certified 100% biodegradable, nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE)-free, and comply with EPA Safer Choice standards. No hydrofluoric acid brighteners permitted on site.
5. Utilities, 480V 3-Phase Power & Water Backflow Prevention
Municipal fresh water supply lines must be protected by an ASSE 1013 certified Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow preventer, tested and tagged annually by a licensed backflow assembly tester. Facility power service requires dedicated 480V 3-phase 200A switchgear for high-pressure pump motors and blowers.
