Read Morecan TC-1 compete with the founders of the clean water act built into the regulation a mechanism to make sure that the storm water industry remains in constant flux. By incorporating the BAT/BCT standard for the selection and implementation of best management practices (BMPs), they set up an environment of evolutionary change for erosion and sediment control measures on construction sites. This evolution has been particularly evident at construction exits. In the storm water world, evolutionary steps do not happen very often, but we want to bring to the attention of our monthly dirt readers one that is occurring right now.
Read MoreWith trucks and customer vehicles entering and exiting the site daily, sediment and debris trackout presented both environmental challenges and permit compliance concerns under EGLE regulations.
FODS presented a solution to this long standing issue. Replacing traditional aggregate entrances, the FODS Trackout Control System utilizes durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) mats designed to effectively remove sediment from vehicle tires. The mats feature a unique pyramidal surface that causes tires to flex and shed debris before leaving the job site, reducing the risk of offsite tracking and streamlining ongoing maintenance.
