Environmental Impacts of Power Washing Activities
Power washing is a type of industrial activity that is typically mobile, short-term and generates a relatively small volume of wastewater and debris. Wastewater generated from power washing can contain contaminants like detergents, oils, inert solids, metals, paint, solvents or other chemicals.
If the wastewater that is generated from power washing isn’t properly managed, the discharge can be conveyed by streets, curbs, gutters, inlets, ditches, open channels, etc. to Waters of the State, in violation of state law and rules. These various types of conveyances may be connected to storm sewers or storm drains that can lead directly to Waters of the State. Discharging to these conveyances may violate state water quality standards by causing floating debris, oil or scum, color, odor or other nuisance conditions. More about power washing chemical additives, regulatory oversight, disposal options, and other considerations can be found in CTAP’s newest power washing Fact Sheet (available on the IDEM Fact Sheets page).
