3. Proper Washout of Concrete Trucks and Equipment.
   The performance standard for ensuring the proper washout of concrete trucks and equipment has not been met if there is observation or evidence of concrete washout material within a drainage area, stormwater facility, water body, or area where a stormwater facility is proposed.
