Dismantling vehicles can lead to the release of various contaminants, including oils, fuels, and other fluids, which can negatively impact the environment. Therefore, conducting this activity on an impervious pad is the best practice because it helps contain any spills or leaks that may occur during the dismantling process. An impervious surface is designed to prevent liquid infiltration, ensuring that pollutants do not seep into the ground or water bodies.

Using an impervious pad effectively allows for easier cleanup and proper management of hazardous materials, reducing the risk of environmental contamination. In contrast, options like dismantling on a dirt pad, in an open field, or in a waterlogged area would be less effective as these settings could allow contaminants to mix with soil or water systems, posing significant environmental risks.
