I live in an 'unrestricted area' Though my thought was not hazardous waste, I was thinking soapy water from washing my car, maybe a little dust or dirt now and again.
The HW is a good thing to think of when it comes to permits - I missed it completely.
I think it's ok if you say it twice!

OH OH OH!!!! That brings to mind! Make storage in the rafters, like an open attic. We did that in our last house, made a helluva difference in the clutter department. You can store all that stuff that you only access a couple of times a year. Works GREAT!
Aren't they just the coolest ! We got a stapler too, man... you LOOK for things to use them on.

That's what the ol plastic milk jug is for.
Just remember if you plumb air, install drain T's at every outlet or your tools will die a rusty death.

about 1' with a valve in the bottom. More if you live in a humid area. Also try to keep the lines sloping down so water doesn't sit in the pipe and grow stuff.
The OP is in Calgary which sees -40 or lower. No need to convert that, it is freakin' cold in both temperatures... ;-)

Too dangerous? Absolutely not. If you wish, you can put anti-freeze in it. Hydronic is perfect for a garage. Even if the power should go out you would still have quite a while before the 15 - 20 tons of thermal mass loses enough temperature to pose a threat. There are some great prices for the pex-al tubing on E-bay!
Ironically, -40C is also -40F. Both of them are too damn cold!!!

What I was thinking and I always wish I had is a floor that sloped towards the door. Maybe with little berms to keep the water from getting too mush to the sides. All the other suggestions are good ones.... Tomes
They make cement products specifically for thin applications so you can correct the pitch towards the door.
Well, what I have now is pretty much flat, with some of the cement's top layer gone in the center of the bays. In the winter I snow shovel the water out after it drips off the vehicles. I am guessing that I would need to raise the back a few inches to make it really work so the shovel can be used only outside where it belongs . I have never really worked cement other than setting footings, so a job like this is a bit scary to me.... I did give some thought to using those floor mats. Tomes
