Technical term for a vacuum??

Technical term for a vacuum??

Technical term for a vacuum??

(OP)
I am trying to put together an E&S Plan for a parking lot milling.  We would like to keep the plan under one acre so we proposed to mill from the curbs to 20 feet out and around key-cut areas (driveways and drainage) and overlay the remainder of the lot.  

However, I would like to incorporated something into the plan that states that any millings generated will be immediately removed (if we place silt fence around the lot, we will have a disturbed area over 1 acre, thus requiring a NPDES permit, according to the conservation district).  A member of my office has suggested using a vacuum to remove the millings, but I do not have any information on this and am not sure where to find some, any help is appreciated.

Thank You,
Chrissy

RE: Technical term for a vacuum??

Perhaps a "vacuum sweeper" such as at http://www.allianzsweeper.com/content/vt650.php.  I understand these are becoming more common, as a regular sweeper can create quite a moving duststorm if surfaces are not pre-wetted.

RE: Technical term for a vacuum??

How about "self-propelled pressure differential inducing debris turbulating and filtering apparatus"?
