Why will the run-off from a simple truck or heavy vehicle cleaning operation pollute my property and ground water?
Oil, grease, fuels, and paint contain hazardous materials such as benzene, lead, chromium, arsenic, pesticides, herbicides, nitrates, etc. Over months of cleaning these hazardous materials build up to a dangerous and illegal volume. In addition, it is illegal to discharge oils, detergents, degreasers, pesticides, etc. to the ground. Eventually these contaminants permeate through this soil and pollute our ground and drinking waters.
