This maintenance record shall be kept in a log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be corrected, repaired, or replaced i in med iately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity of structures, safety of the public, and the pollutant removal efficiency of the BMP(s).

Two to three times a year, grass filter strips will be mowed and the clippings harvested to promote the growth of thick vegetation with optimum pollutant removal efficiency. Turf grass should not be cut shorter than 3 to 5 inches and may be allowed to grow as tall as 12 inches depending on aesthetic requirements (NIPC, 1993). Forested filter strips do not require this type of maintenance. - Once a year, the soil will be aerated if necessary. - Once a year, soil pH will be tested and lime will be added if necessary. After the filter strip is established, it will be inspected quarterly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inch (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County). Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in a known set location and will be available upon request. Inspection activities shall be performed as follows.

The sand filter shall be inspected quarterly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County). Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in a known set location and will be available upon request. Inspection activities shall be performed as follows.
