§ 130-9. Spills from vehicles; concrete, cement, gravel, sand, dirt, and asphalt hauling.

(a)

Any person engaged in hauling concrete, cement, gravel, sand, dirt, or asphalt on any public street within the corporate limits of the city shall load or fill vehicles so as to not allow spillage of any material onto the city streets or sidewalks. All vehicles hauling wet concrete, cement or loose material, arc required to use suitable covers, spill prevention and capture devices to prevent materials from blowing, spilling, or dripping from the vehicle.

(b)

In the event that spillage does occur in spite of the appropriate use of said devices, the person responsible for the operation of the vehicle shall remove the material from the street or sidewalk. Shoveling, sweeping, or vacuuming the material and removing it from the roadway is an appropriate response. Failure to properly remove spilled material from a public street or sidewalk, or washing spilled material into any storm sewer, sanitary sewer, catch-basin, manholes, or other drainage-way is not an acceptable response, and is a violation of city.
