Golf Facility Checklist Guide
This checklist was developed to help you assess the current conditions at your facility and, when applicable, improve the way your facility operates.
Wash Area

Is the facility free from odors?
Is the area free from leaks or other signs of water discharging to the ground?
Is all overspray trapped in the wash area?
Is the vehicle placed well within the wash area and away from the edges of the wash pad to prevent wash water runoff to the ground?
Are all vehicle repairs done away from the wash area to prevent the transport of chemicals in the wash water runoff?
Are all chemicals and other materials stored away from the wash area preventing the transport of chemicals in the wash water runoff?
Is all pre-washing, washing, or rinsing done inside the wash pad?
Are signs posted to discourage the dumping of vehicle fluids (oil, coolant), pesticides, solvents, fertilizers, organic chemicals, toxic chemicals into the drain or the collection sump?
Is there a “Do not use engine degreasing solvents in the wash area” sign posted near the drain or collection sump?
Is the area kept clean, orderly and safe?
Oil
Are absorbent pads available for use when oily sheen appears?

Wastewater
Is wastewater prevented from discharging into surface or ground waters?
Is the wastewater disposed of according to local rules and regulations?
Are there adequate records to document the disposal of wastewater according to local rules and regulations?
Is the proper authorities notified if an unanticipated bypass, upset in the system or unauthorized discharge has occurred?
Is a remedial plan put in place when unauthorized discharges occur?
Are steps taken to prevent leaks and unauthorized discharges from reoccurring?
Stormwater
Are curbs installed around wash bays or tunnel entrances (or are bays and tunnels elevated) to prevent intrusion of stormwater into the recycle system?
Are downspouts installed to prevent discharges of rainwater into the recycle system?
Is the collection pit covered so that rainwater cannot go into it?
If the wash pad is not covered, is it kept clean to prevent the contamination of stormwater?
Is there a stormwater diverter valve?
Is there a procedure to use the stormwater diverter valve?
Is the procedure followed in operating the diverter valve?
Is the diverter valve in the correct position (according with the procedure) when operating the recycle system?
Is the wash pad cleaned with fresh makeup water after each day of use to prevent stormwater contamination?
Is the discharge of solids being prevented?
Is the discharged stormwater free from any visible sheen?
Solids
Is the sludge and solids from sedimentation tanks, centrifugal separator, used filter material and other solid waste disposed of at the Class I or Class II sanitary landfill?
Are records maintained of the quantity of waste sludge disposed, contract hauler, disposal location, and disposal date of the sludge?
Are solids removed frequently to prevent drains from clogging, or sumps from overflowing?
Are used filters and other solid waste stored in covered containers until ready to send to the landfill?
If it is not practical to store material awaiting disposal in closed containers, is the material well covered with a tarp to prevent stormwater contamination?
If heavy equipment is stored at the facility, are the dirty portions of the equipment covered when not in use to control runoff contamination?
Storage
Are reusable or recyclable materials used whenever possible?

Is the disinfection system working properly?
Is there a log recording daily chemical use?
Are soaps and other detergents used sparingly?
Has a need to increase the amount of soap used to clean the vehicles been noticed?
If the answer to question #7 (above) is yes, has it been checked to see if the Total Suspended Solids amount is too high, which means that the system may need to be drained?
