Environmental Regulations for Cosmetic Cleaning http://www.dcs1.com/regs/
The Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 which basically stated nothing down the drain but rain. The interpretation and variations of that act has varied greatly over the last 35 years. A lot of the interpretations and implementations are based on court decisions. What has affected Mobile Power Wash Cosmetic Cleaners the most is the NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) Permits of the Clean Water Act required for the municipalities and urban areas.

NPDES Permits were implemented in to steps: Phase I and Phase II. Phase I NPDES Permits for municipalities over 250,000 populations were due November 16, 1992, and for municipalities over 100,000 populations were due October 1, 1993. Phase II NPDES Permits for populations over 10,000 were due March 10, 2003. These NPDES Permits require jurisdictions to develop and implement ordinances governing Mobile Power Wash Cosmetic Cleaning. The 9th Circuit Court has ruled that the “EPA’s failure to require review of Notices of Intent applications from small municipalities, and its failure to make NOIs available to the public or subject to public hearings, contravene requirements of the Clean Water Act.” (Reference: http://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/WATER.NSF/0/8acf5918641f087b88256ce00074ca17?OpenDocument or http://www.dcs1.com/regs/ ) Also NPDES permits affect all areas that have a significant environmental pollution problem regardless of population density.

What is amazing is that Fort Worth based their ordinance on a Public Comment Period and Houston did not! Delco Cleaning Systems was fortunate to have been present at both events and video tape them, which are now available on DVD because of many requests. Reviewing of this material is a must for anyone that is involved in developing BMPs or ordinances for your local area for Cosmetic Mobile Power Washing.

The Fort Worth ordinance is based on voluntary compliance being reasonable, rational, and logical with almost no cost to the city. The ordinance went into affect January 2, 1996 and now has over 11 years of experience. Before the ordinance detergents in the storm drains were as high as 75%. In the last 11 years detergents in the storm drains has ranged approximately from 4% to 14%. What is surprising is that Mobile Power Wash Cosmetic Cleaners were given access to the sanitary sewer system for $25.00 per year per rig and the POTW (Public Owned Treatment Works, sanitary sewer plant) has never been able to detect any waste water discharges from the Cosmetic Cleaning Industry because the discharges are insignificant. This will also be true for almost any municipality! The Fort Worth Ordinance and the San Francisco Bay Area information is available at http://www.dcs1.com/regs/ . Both should be reviewed for rational, reasonable, and logical ordinances that were developed with public comment periods.

Houston chose a different approach with literal interpretation of the Clean Water Act with an entire police unit (Major Offenders Division, Environmental Investigations Unit, Phone: 713-525-2728) dedicated to enforcement! Nothing down the drain but rain means no exceptions, not even one drop. Enforcement includes dye testing of drain covers for seepage under the covers, and not even tap water is allowed into the storm drains. Complete information is covered on the DVD made by Delco Cleaning Systems at the Houston Neighborhood Environmental Education Training (N.E.E.T.) Program: Power Washing on May 14, 2007.

If you are involved in the development of these ordinances for your area reviewing this information is a must.

What people don't really know or understand is that you have not only been fined unjustly you have lost thousands in past earning because our industry past and present leaders don't get they where responsible.

If there was some environmental "expert" on the internet that is claiming that the wood restoration products to clean, strip, seal and stain the wood is polluting the waterways and is calling them polluters, I think more contractors out there would finally start to listen as this would directly affect them and their business where currently it seems like a lot of people out there just don't care thinking it will never affect them since they don't clean commercial concrete.

If this was true then it would be more pressure washing contractors out there being called polluters, not just the guys that clean concrete so there is a lot bigger bulls-eye out there to target.

If this was true, I bet it would open a lot more eyes to who this person is spreading this stuff calling contractors "Polluters" and maybe get people out there to start listening to what is being said here about what the EPA and Clean Water Act really mentions, not the mis-information and lies being currently spread to sell equipment and spread scare tactics to benefit the vendor.

I think this would cause more people to listen, demand changes from vendors and possibly start a petition, who knows?
