Standard Guide for Ecological Considerations for the Use of Surface Washing Agents: Impermeable Surfaces
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This guide is meant to aid local and regional response teams who may use it during spill response planning and spill events.
4.2 This guide should be adapted to site-specific circumstances.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers the use of surface washing agents to assist in the cleanup of oil spills. This guide is written with the goal of minimizing the environmental impacts of oil spills; this goal is the basis on which the recommendations are made. Aesthetic and socioeconomic factors are not considered although these and other factors are often important in spill response.
1.2 In making surface washing agent use decisions, appropriate government authorities should be consulted as required by law.
1.3 Spill responders have available several means to control or clean up spilled oil. In this guide, the use of chemical surface washing agents is considered.
1.4 This is a general guide only. Oil, as used in this guide, includes crude oils and refined petroleum products. Differences between individual surface washing agents or between different oil products are not considered.
1.5 This guide applies only to impermeable surfaces. This guide does not apply to shorelines.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

5. Environment Covered—Impermeable Surfaces
5.1 Impermeable surfaces include any soil, rock, hard pan, or other natural surface that does not readily permit the passage of
water and oil.
5.2 Impermeable surfaces include man-made surfaces such as paved roads and parking lots. (See Guide F1279 for permeable
surfaces.)
5.3 The impermeable surface should allow for the containment and recovery of oil-contaminated water resulting from the
cleaning process.
