Treasure Valley, What Really Runs Off a Parking Lot?
1. Sediments
Dirt and sediments will build up in parking lots over time. There are many different causes of sediment build up. Asphalt, concrete, and sealers, all release small sand particles caused from traffic and water erosion that will eventually build up in a parking lot. Dirt and sand are like compound interest. The more you have, the more it will produce. Dirt and sand are abrasive materials that will erode asphalt or concrete resulting in the production of more sediment.
