Since the HDPE is nonconductive, it is not possible to ground it. If you touch a coathanger between the grid and the HDPE you might eliminate some of the charge in the immediate vicinity of the coathanger contact with the HDPE, but you won't discharge the whole ramp. And regardless, after a little while the charge will spread itself out on the ramp anyway.
