Document Description
A "transportation structure" (structure) is defined as a bridge, overhead, underpass, overcrossing, separation, viaduct, tunnel, or tube that, when measured parallel to the roadway centerline, has a length of more than 20 feet between the faces of the end abutments. Discharges to land of waste associated with transportation structure repainting activities have certain common characteristics, such as similar constituents, concentration of constituents, and containment and disposal techniques. Therefore, the use of General Waste Discharge Requirements is the best method to ensure increased water quality protection, uniformity, and regulatory efficiency. The General Waste Discharge Requirements are intended to regulate discharges of waste associated with transportation structure repainting activities that may affect waters of the state.
