The rules

Pennsylvania washout rules in brief

In Pennsylvania, any job that pours concrete on site needs a washout for the chutes, mixers and hoppers of the delivery trucks, and the wash water is never allowed to reach surface water.

A site that disturbs an acre or more needs NPDES permit coverage before the work starts, and the erosion plan goes to the state DEP or a county conservation district. A watertight CleanSite container is the washout: your trucks rinse into it and it leaves on our truck.

Sources: PA DEP Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual (page 57) and 25 Pa. Code 102.5 and 102.6.

On the site

Washout containment best practices on a Pennsylvania job site

  • Give every concrete truck and pump one washout area to use, close to where the concrete is being poured.
  • Set it on level ground.
  • Keep it clear of other traffic, so nothing knocks it over and spills it.
  • Never let washout water or slurry reach a waterway. A watertight container keeps the concrete waste contained until it’s hauled off.

That’s what a washout system is for: full containment, so cement and wash water stay out of the soil, the stormwater and the streams around your construction site.

How it works

From delivery to pick-up

Step 1

We deliver the container

We set it where your trucks can reach it. The small pans fit tight spots, and the 1.5 yard pan slides under a pump truck hopper.

Step 2

Your trucks wash out

Ready-mix drivers rinse their chutes into the container and pump operators empty the hopper into the pump pan. The washout stays contained and off the ground.

Step 3

We haul it away

When it’s getting full, call us. We pick it up, take it off site and handle the disposal.

Questions

Pennsylvania washout FAQ

How do I get a washout container delivered in Pennsylvania?

Call 845-781-4-PAN or request a quote with the jobsite address, pour date and expected yardage. We’ll tell you if we cover it.

Is a concrete washout required in Pennsylvania?

Yes, on any project where concrete is poured or formed on site, unless the trucks wash out back at the concrete plant. That’s the state’s erosion and sediment control manual.

Which size do I need?

Busy jobs use the 6 or 9 yard containers. Most smaller pours start with the 2.5 yard pan. The sizing guide walks you through it.
