===Fueling stations and spill containment===

 

If activities on your site include the loading and unloading of product or supplies such as chemicals, fuels, or oils, you should have P2 techniques in place. Spill containment measures temporarily detain any spills, allowing for them to be cleaned and disposed of before reaching storm sewers. This can also reduce the risks of a spill draining into an LID feature, catch basin or drainage [[swale]]. Valves can be incorporated into the design of the spill containment so that it can easily be drained of rainwater or liquid, as seen in the image to the right.

===Outdoor storage===

===Outdoor storage===

Outdoor storage can create potential pollution threats as rainfall or runoff comes into contact with product, materials or waste being stored outdoors. Further complications are added when property facilities (i.e. waste bins, recycling bins) are susceptible to illegal dumping. To prevent and manage pollution threats from outdoor storage, there are a variety of P2 strategies that can be employed. Simple strategies can be employed such as storing de-icing salt in a dedicated storage container to prevent continual loss of salt from exposure to precipitation. Other best practices include using large storage containers to protect chemical storage drums.
