EXECUTTVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of a two-part study of constituents present in simulated storm water
runoff fiom six retail gasoline outlets (RGûs) and four commercial parking lots The objective of the
study is to characterize storm water runoff from RGûs and to compare the results with runoff from
commercial parking lots and published urban "background" values The study was funded by the
Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) and the American Petroleum Institute (API)
The study demonstrates that for the constituents analyzed, median event mean concentrations
(EMCs)
in storm water runoff fiom normally operated and maintained RGOs are no higher than those in
lead, and zinc in
runoff
from RGûs and parking lots are no higher than background levels present inurban runoff as established by the National Urban Runoff Program Furthermore, there are no
significant differences in median EMCs in runoff from
RGO
pump islands and driveways for theconstituents analyzed These results indicate that fiieling activities at normally operated and
maintained RGOs do not contribute additional significant concentrations of measured constituents
in storm water runof
In 1987, Section 402(p) was added to the Clean Water Act to establish a framework for addressing
storm water discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
progrm Storm water discharges from commercial facilities, such as RGOs and parking lots, are not
included under the initial regulations However, regulations are to be promulgated that are expected
to increase the number and types of dischargers required to obtain NPDES permit coverage for storm
water discharges EPA, in a report to Congress @PA, 1993), identified several business categories
that are not currently regulated by NPDES permits Automotive service facilities, including RGOs,
are included on EPA's list of potential Phase II permittees

This report presents the results of a two-part study of simulated storm water runoff fiom six retail
gasoline outlets (RGOs) and four commercial parking lots Part I was conducted by Hart Crowser,
Inc (Hart Crowser) and characterized simulated storm water runoff from five RGOs Part II was
conducted by Geomatrix Consultants, Inc (Geomatrix) and characterized simulated storm water
runoff from four commercial parking lots and one

The study was fiinded by the Western StatesPetroleum Association (WSPA) and the American Petroleum Institute ( M I )
1.1 Objective
The objective of this study is to characterize storm water runoff from RGOs and to compare the
results with runoff fiom commercial parking lots and published urban "background" values
1.2 Background
In 1972, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (also known as the Clean Water Act or CWA) was
amended to provide that any discharge of pollutants from a point source to Waters of the United
States is effectively prohibited unless it is in compliance with a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ("DES) permit
As more signiticant sources of water poilution were brought under control, the impact of pollutants
in storm water became more noticeable Water quality studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s
identified urban runoff as a source of pollution In response to these studies, the 1987 amendments
to the Water Quality Act added Section 402(p) This section established a comprehensive two-
phased approach for the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to follow in addressing storm

water discharges Five types of storm water discharges are covered under the Phase I program
Dischargers within these five categories, listed below, were required to obtain permit coverage before
October 1, 1992:
A discharge for which a pennit has been issued prior to February 4, 1987;
A discharge associated with industrial activities;
A discharge from a municipal separate storm sewer system serving a population of 250,000 or more;
A discharge from a municipal separate storm sewer system serving a population of
100,000 or more, but less than 250,000; or
A storm water discharge determined by the EPA Administrator or the State to contribute to a violation of a water quality standard or to be a significant contributor
of pollutants to the waters of the United States
Discharges from commercial facilities, such as RGOs and parking lots, are not included under the
Phase I regulations However, Phase II regulations to be promulgated are expected to increase the
numbers and types of dischargers that are required to obtain
NPDES
permit coverage for storm waterdischarges EPA, in a draft Phase II report to Congress @PA, 1999, identified several business
categories that are not currently regulated by NPDES permits Automotive senrice facilities,
including RGûs, are included on EPA's list of potential Phase II permittees It should be noted that,
according to the EPA
draft
Phase II report, the list of potential permittees was created using limitedreliable data on storm water problems associated with Phase II sources nationwide In order to
provide data regarding storm water runoff from potential Phase II facilities, WSPA and API
commissioned this study

This study utilized the results from a recently published RGO runoff study titled Action Plan
Demonstration Project, Demonstration of Gasoline Fueling Station Best Management Practices,
Phase I Report (September, 1993), prepared by Unbe & Associates and Larry Walker Associates
for the County of Sacramento, Water Resources Division Another storm water runoff study used
for the WSPNAPI study described herein is the Final Report of the Nationwide Urban Runoff
Program (December 30, 1983) prepared by the Water Planning Division of EPA These storm water
studies are described in the following sections
1.3.1
Sacramento County's Action Plan Demonstration Project characterized storm water
runoff
frompollution EPA provided fùnding of the study by a grant through the San Francisco Estuary Project
and the Sacramento County Water Resources Division The report presents the analytical results of
samples collected from storm water runoff from three RGOs in Sacramento County
Sacramento County's Action Plan Demonstration Project
The Sacramento County project selected high-volume (over 200,000 gallons per month), self-service
selected RGOs are located less than 2 miles apart
Within each RGO, a single representative sampling point was selected where station runoff leaves the
property and includes drainage from the fueling and auxiliary services areas Uribe collected samples
during six storm events during the 1992/93 wet season For five of the storms, the sample collection
procedure consisted of placing a 1 liter sampling bottle into a below-grade concrete sump A portion
of
the storm water discharge flowed over the lip of the sump directly into a sampling bottle Sampleswere collected in this manner for each 0.05 inch increment of measured rainfall The samples were
composited immediately into a 5-liter borosilicate bottle until the 5-liter bottle was filled The one
exception to this sample collection method occurred during the first storm event, when only grab
samples were collected

The initial analytical program for the collected samples included analyses for oil and grease, total suspended solids, metals (13 EPA priority pollutant metals plus aluminum and iron), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and petroleum hydrocarbons However, some of the metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and PAHs were consistently not detected in samples collected from the first
three storm events
On
the basis of these results, the following parameters were selected for the finalthree sampling events:
oil and grease total suspended solids heavy metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, and zinc)
Pertinent results of Sacramento County's Action Plan Demonstration Project are discussed in Sections
3 and 4 of this report
1.3.2 National Urban Runoff Program
The National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) was conducted from 1978 through 1983 with fhding
and guidance provided by EPA
NURP
characterized the chemicals present in discharges fromseparate storm sewers that drain residential, commercial, and light industrial areas NURP included
28 projects across the nation, conducted separately at the local level, but centrally reviewed,
coordinated, and guided The overall objective of the program was to collect information
&om
anational perspective that could be used to characterize urban
runoff,
assess the impact of non-pointsource urban runoff on the quality of the receiving waters, and assist decision makers in developing
control measures to limit its impact The results of NURP provide insight on what can be considered
background levels for urban runoff
The resultant NURP data represent a cross section
of
regional climates, land use types, and groundsurface conditions The sites sampled during
NURP
included 81 sites that were unaffected byhydraulic devices, such as detention basins, that would modiQ runoff A total of more than 2300
separate
storm
events were sampled from these sites during the project Samples collected from thesesites were tested for the following standard pollutants:

In selecting the RGOs to be used for the study, the following characteristics were evaluated for a
number of potential RGO sites:
Selection of RGOs and Test Sites
monthly throughput site location
anticipated level of use by commercial vehicles age and general appearance
types of ancillary services provided including on-site vehicle service, car washes, or convenience stores
on-site drainage patterns and adjacent property usage
On the basis of this evaluation, six RGûs, all located in Southern California, were selected
for
thestudy The
six
RGûs provide a representative cross section of typical RGOs in Southern CaliforniaSite characteristics for each RGO are summarized in Table 1 Each of the selected RGûs was
considered "normally operated and maintained" For the purposes of this study, "normally operated
and maintained" signifies that the RGûs utilize Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize the
buildup of potential storm water contaminants on exposed areas These BMPs include regular
sweeping of exposed areas, regular site inspections, and standardized spill response procedures
a pump island and driveway approach area within each RGO These areas were selected to provide
results that are representative of discharge from the entire RGO A summary of pavement types and
conditions of each test site location is presented in Table 2
A simulated gasoline spill was performed at RGO 5 to provide data regarding the effectiveness of
standardized spill response procedures One quart of regular unleaded gasoline from a pump nozzle
was discharged onto the pump island pavement Absorbent material was applied to the spill after one

on-site drainage patterns
On the basis of this evaluation, Geomatrix and WSPA selected four commercial parking lots, all
located in Southern California, for the study The selected parking lots were associated with a
grocery store, bank, ofice complex, and restaurant
Simulated rainfall was applied and sampies were collected at two locations at each of the four parking
lots for
a
total of eight test sites The test locations included one high-use and one moderate-useparking area The high-use area was generally closer to the commercial facility entrance, and was
occupied more frequently than the moderate-use area Each of the parking lots used scheduled
sweeping as a good housekeeping BMP Parking lot test locations, conditions, and BMPs are
summarized in Table 3
2.4 Testing Methodology
To minimize test variability caused by differing rainfail intensities and durations, both parts of the
water-dispensing system and sampling procedures were identical for both the

parking lot sites The water-dispensing system was designed to apply water uniformly over the test
area and create sheet flow
During the test, potable water was distributed uniformly over an approximate 400-square-foot area
using a network of perforated 1-inch-diameter, schedule 80 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes elevated
approximately 4 feet above the pavement surface A schematic of the simulated rainfall system is
Figure 1 Schematic of Simulated Rainfall System
The water was applied at a rate of approximately 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm) for the duration
of
the45-minute test This rate represents a rainfall rate of approximately 0.008 inch per minute or O 12
inch every 15 minutes over the test application area

2.5 Sampling Procedures
Sampling procedures for both Part I and II studies follow the sampling protocol established by SW-
846, "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste" (including surface and groundwater)
The following samples were collected at each test site
A discrete grab sample from the collection trou;h every 15 minutes during the 45
minute test
In addition to these samples, a background sample of the on-site water supply was collected at the
point of discharge from the simulated rainfall application apparatus, and a duplicate oil and grease
sample was collected at each test site Samples were obtained using cleaned sampling equipment and
were placed into laboratory-supplied and certified "clean" samplinc containers Collected samples
were labeled, placed on ice in a cooler, and maintained under proper chain-of-custody procedures
A trip blank sample was included in each of the sample coolers used for this study
2.6 Analytical Testing
GTEL Environmental Laboratories, a state-certified analytical laboratory located in Torrance,
California analyzed samples from RGOs 1 through 5 Del Mar Analytical, a state-certified
laboratory located in Imine, California analyzed samples from RGO 6 and all four parking lots

In many cases, the boxes shown on Figures 3 through 24 are collapsed into a single horizontai line
without a whisker extending to the minimum value The principal reason for the shape of these plots
is the presence of a large number of non-detect values in the data set When this occurs, a single

methodology used for the WSPNAPI study is equivalent to the event mean concentration (EMC)
reported in NLJRP @PA, 1983), which is defined as the total constituent mass discharged divided by
the total runoff volume In addition, the flow weighted sampling method used for the Action Plan
Demonstration Project (Uribe, 1993) provides an estimate of EMC To provide consistency in
comparisons between these studies, the EMC will be used when describing composite discharge
concentrations for the remainder of this report

On
the basis of these box plots, there is no significant difference in median EMCs in runoff frompump islands and driveways for these constituents In each case, the median EMCs from pump
islands and driveways are either at or very near the detection limit Toluene, ethyl benzene, and total
xylenes were detected more fiequently in samples from pump islands, primarily the result of the
simulated spill on the

there is no significant difference in median EMCs between RGOs and parking lots for these
constituents In addition, the box plots for total suspended solids, copper, and zinc indicate that for
these constituents, there is
no
significant difference in median EMCs between RGOs, parking lots,12

and background runoff levels established by
NURP
The box plots for lead, Figure 22 indicate thatthe median and range of EMCs from RGOs and parking lots are significantly less than the background
values reported in N7JR.P
The results of this study demonstrate that for the constituents analyzed
in
this report, medianEMCs
in storm water runoff from normally operated and maintained RGOs are no higher than those in
runoff fiom commercial parking lots Additionally, median EMCs of total suspended solids, copper,
lead,
and
zinc in runoff fiom RGûs and parking lots are no higher than background levels present inurban runoff as established by
NURP
Furthermore, there are no significant differences in medianthe fueling related constituents (TPHg and BTEX) from pump islands were either not detected
or
below appiicable Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) These results indicate that fueling activities
at normally operated and maintained
RGOs
do not contribute additional significant concentrationsof measured constituents in storm water runoff
