💧 Surface Water Proximity Risk rivers · lakes · wetlands · streams

Evaluate contamination risk based on distance to nearest water body, waterbody sensitivity, and site slope. Determines required washout pan and buffer zone practices.

📏 Distance to nearest water body

feet (0 ft = directly adjacent)

🌊 Type of water body

Higher protection for perennial & wetlands

⛰️ Site slope (%)

Steeper slope → faster runoff

⚖️ Calculating risk...

📐 Based on EPA buffer guidance and Clean Water Act Section 404/401. Within 100 ft of perennial streams/wetlands = high risk. Zero‑discharge washout pans recommended for all high-risk zones. Local regulations may require additional setbacks.

Compiled by the Reborn Rental team, backed by our field engineers and dispatch staff working Denver-metro concrete washout and equipment rental jobs.
