Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
Replace existing sander/spreader truck with new truck and Epoke abrasives distribution system. The Epoke system provides control over dispersion of all sanding materials — dry, pre-wet or liquid. Not only preserving the natural environment, but also reducing wasted material and excessive damage to infrastructure (bridges, culverts, etc.). Epoke provides technology to greater control the amount of material used, type of distribution, and area of coverage, using significantly less material while providing a more uniform coverage with just one pass. Utilization of less material results in less materials become airborne, dispersed into storm drains and ultimately reduces recovery time
