be created specifically for each BMP).
I. Maintenance
See attached Operation & Maintenance Manual
H. OPERATION
See attached Operation & Maintenance Manual
A. Record Keeping
The Town of Holly Springs shall be provided with written inspection reports as specified in this manual. These reports
shall be provided annually within 30 days of the anniversary of receipt of the "Stormwater BMP /O &M Responsibility
Transfer" letter (form 416037). A professional engineer shall certify the reports. The Town of Holly Springs
_Engineering Department_ shall be notified as soon as any deficiencies in the detention structure are recorded. The Town
shall be notified of the proposed methods to bring the structure into conformance and furthermore, the Town shall
approve of any proposed work to be completed on any part of the structure prior to any work being started. After work
has been completed the Town shall inspect and approve of the work before it shall be considered complete. After the
Town approves the work an as -built drawing shall be completed and provided to the Town.
Note: Operation of a BMP should include the following:
• Annual & Quarterly Inspection Reports — a collection of a written inspection report should be kept on record,
Inspection should be conducted at minimum quarterly and certified by a professional engineer annually.
• Observations — all observations should be recorded. Where periodic inspections are performed following
significant rainfall events, these inspections should be logged on the log forms found in Appendix D of the Town's
Design Manual or created specifically for the project.
• Maintenance — written records of maintenance and/or repairs should be recorded on the Operation & Maintenance
Log Form found in Appendix D of the Town's Design Manual or created specifically for the project.
• Other Operation Procedures — the owner should maintain a complete and up -to -date set of plans (as -built drawings)
and all changes made to the dam over time should be recorded on the as- builts. Mylar and digital as- builts shall be
provided to the Town each time they are updated.
B. Sedimentation & Dredging
Sedimentation from establishing areas tributary to the BMP may eventually result in the reduction of the storage
volume and eventually will have to be removed. The frequency of this sediment removal can be reduced by ensuring
that the site areas around the building be stabilized with a vegetative ground cover such that it restrains erosion. This
would include a periodic application of fertilizer and other treatments necessary to promote a stable groundcover and
minimize sedimentation to the BMP. The maintenance on this BMP requires that (provide design specific clean out
information here). For aesthetic purposes it may be desirable to maintain it prior to this point. The removed material
should be hauled offsite to a suitable landfill site or mounded somewhere on site and stabilized with a groundcover
sufficient to restrain erosion.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(Beazer Vaughan Subdivision): Wet Detention Pond #1
This manual established procedures for maintenance and operation of the Beazer
Vaughan Subdivision wet detention pond # 1.
Maintenance of Embankments
A. Vegetation
The embankment has a ground cover of fescue, which if properly maintained
will prevent erosion of the embankment and provide an easy surface for
inspection. The grass will be most difficult to obtain in the area subject to
water level fluctuation below the top of the riser. Grass should be fertilized
every October and April.
♦ Re- Seeding — periodically re- seeding may be required to establish grass
on areas where seek did not take or has been destroyed. Before seeding,
fertilizer (12- 12 -12) should be applied at a minimum rate of 12 to 15
pounds per 1,000 SF. The seed should be evenly sewn at a rate of three
pounds per 1,000 SF. The seed should be covered with soil to the depth
of approximately' / ". Immediately following the planting, the area should
be mulched with straw.
♦ Trees & Shrubs — trees, shrubs, and other landscape vegetation should be
permitted only as shown on the approved planting plan.
♦ Mowing — grass mowing, brush cuffing and removal of weed vegetation
will be necessary for the proper maintenance of the embankment. All
embankment slopes and vegetation of spillways should be mowed when
the grass exceeds 8" in height. Acceptable methods include the use of
weed whips or power brush cutters and mowers.
B. Erosion
Erosion occurs when the water concentrates causing failure of the vegetation
or when vegetation dies and sets up the environment for rill erosion and
eventually gullies from the stormwater. runoff. The dam should be inspected
for these areas. Proper care of vegetative areas that develop erosion is
required to prevent more serious damage to the embankment. Rills and
gullies should be filled with suitable soil compacted and then seeded.
Methods described in Section I -A, on vegetation, should be used to properly
establish the grass surface. Where eroded areas are detected, the cause of
the erosion should be addressed to prevent a continued maintenance
problem. Frequently problems result from the concentration of runoff to one
point of the embankment crest instead of a uniform distribution of runoff. This
can be corrected by reshaping the crest to more evenly distribute the runoff to
areas, which are not experiencing erosion problems. The top of the dam
should not be allowed to be used for pedestrian or bicycle traffic.
♦ Abutment Areas -- the abutment is the line formed where the embankment
fill comes into contact with the existing slope. Runoff from rainfall
concentrates in these gutter areas and can reach erosive velocities
because of the steep slopes. If a normal stand of grass cannot be
maintained on the abutments, additional measures may be needed such
as jute matting to provide for the establishment of a good ground cover.
♦ Upstream Embankment Slope — Erosion problems can develop on the
upstream face of the dam due to the fluctuation of water level in the pond.
This is a result of a combination of wave actions and ground saturation,
which occurs from the elevated water levels. The erosion generally
occurs as the water level falls and the saturated ground becomes
subjected to the wave action. If erosion becomes a problem, it. may
necessitate the installation of a stone armoring along the zone subject to
fluctuating water level. This would consist of 18" of NCDOT Class B stone
for erosion control underlain with Mirifi 140 geotextile fabric. It should be
centered at the point of the erosion problem and covering an area 2'
above and below the approximate center of the eroded area.
C. Seepage
o Detection — due to the fact that the "permanent" impoundment level is only
5' deep, and the road embankment is immediately downstream and
continuous with the dam embankment, seepage should not be expected
on the downstream slope of the embankment. However, a cursory
inspection of the road embankment should be made for completeness of
the inspection. Seepage may vary in appearance from a soft wet area to
a flowing spring. It may show up first as only an area where the
vegetation is more lush and darker green. Cattails, reeds, mosses and
other marsh vegetation often become established in a seepage area. The
downstream abutment areas where the embankment fill and natural
ground interface are very common locations for seepage. Also the contact
between the embankment and the spillway conduit is a very common
location which is generally attributed to poor compaction around the
conduit. Due to the way in which conduits are put in, this is generally most
evident on the underside of the conduit. Slides may result from
excessively saturated embankment slopes. The natural foundation area
immediately downstream of the dam abutment should also be inspected to
ensure that "piping" is not occurring underneath the embankment.
"Piping" may appear as a "boil" evident as spring carries soil. The soil
usually deposits around the boil area and is evident by the sedimentary
deposits accompanying it. Seepage can also occur into the spillway
conduit through cracks in the pipe or improperly sealed joints. These can
be seen by observing the conduit when the water level is high. The
movement of the water itself is not dangerous, but if soil particles are
being carried with it, then it can create a shortcut for the piping of soil.
This might show up on the upstream face of the embankment roughly
along the line of the conduit itself.
D. Cracks, Slides, Sloughing, and Settlement
♦ Cracks — the entire embankment should be inspected for cracks. Short,
isolated cracks are usually not significant, but larger cracks (wider than
'/ "), well defined cracks indicate a serious problem. There are two types
of cracks: transverse and longitudinal.
Traverse cracks appear crossing the embankment and indicated
difference of settlement within the embankment. these cracks
provide avenues for seepage and piping could develop.
Longitudinal cracks run parallel to the embankment and may signal
the early stages of a slide. In recently built structures, these cracks
may be indicative of poor compaction or poor foundation
preparation resulting in consolidation after construction.
♦ Slides — Slides and slumps are serious threats to the safety of an
embankment. Slides can be detected easily unless obscured by
vegetation. Arch shaped cracks are indications that slides are slipping or
beginning to slip. These cracks soon develop into large scarps in the
slope at the top of the slide.
e Settlement — settlement occurs both during construction and after the
embankment has been completed and places in service. To a certain
degree this is normal and should be experienced. It is usually the most
pronounced at the location of maximum foundation depth or embankment
height. Excessive settlement will reduce the free board (difference in
elevation between the water surface and the top of the dam). Any area of
excessive settlement should be restored to original elevation and condition
to reduce the risk of overtopping. A relatively large amount of settlement
(more than 6 ") within a small area could indicate serious problems in the
foundation or perhaps the lower part of the embankment. Settlement
accompanied by cracking often precedes failure.
♦ What to do if seepage, cracks, slides or settlement are detected: If any of
the above items are detected there may be signs of significant problems,
which could lead, to the failure of the structure. A geotechnicai or civil
engineer should be consulted regarding the origin of these problems and
for the assessment of the appropriate solutions for correcting them. If the
professional is not immediately able to inspect the dam, then the bottom
drain should be opened and the water level lowered to remove the risk of
failure until a professional can observe these problems.
E. Rodent Control
Generally in this urban environment, rodents are not a problem. Rodents
such as ground hogs, muskrats, and beavers are attracted to dams and
reservoirs and can be quite dangerous to structural integrity and proper
performance of the embankment and spillway. Groundhog and muskrats
thrive on burrowing in the manmade earth embankments, which become
pathways for seepage. In the event that burrows are detected within the dam,
then the rodents should be dealt with by removal.
II. MAINTENANCE OF SPILLWAYS & CONTROL STRUCTURES
A. Inspection of Spillway Conduits
Conduits should be inspected thoroughly once a year. Conduits should be
visually inspected by actually entering the conduit a sufficient distance
between the riser structure and the outlet to check all the joints. Because the
outlet works tie into the street storm sewer system, catch basins and pipes.
Conduit should be inspected for proper alignment (sagging), elongation and
displacement at joints, cracks, leaks, surface water, surface wear, loss of
protective coating, corrosion and blocking. Problems with conduits most often
occurs at joints and special attention should be given to them during
inspection. Joints should be checked for gaps caused by elongation or
settlement and loss of joint filler material. Open joints can permit erosion of
the embankment material and possibly the piping of soil material through the
joints. Catch basin should be checked for signs that water is seeping along
the exterior surface of the pipe where it enters the catch basin. A depression
in the soil surface over the pipe may be signs that soil is being removed from
around the pipe.
♦ What to do if problems are detected with the spillway: Retain the
assistance of a civil engineer or geotechnical engineer qualified in the
design of embankments to perform an inspection of the dam. If in doubt,
lower the water surface elevation of the pond until such time as an
inspection can be performed by a qualified professional.
B. Trashracks on Pipe Spillways
The spillway riser and rip -rap weir for this dam is the only spillway structures.
The intake structure has been fitted with a trashrack to prevent debris from
entering the spillway structure. Most of the runoff entering the pond comes in
through grated inlets, which have essentially provided filtration of the runoff
and should limit the size of the debris that enters the basin to floating debris
which will most likely pass through the trashrack. The opening between the
trashrack and riser is smaller than the opening of the outlet pipe. The intent is
that any debris, which passes through the trashrack, will be easily passed by
the pipe outlet.
Maintenance should include periodically checking the rack for rusted or
broken sections and repairing as needed. The trashrack should be checked
frequently during and after storm events to ensure that it is properly
functioning and to remove accumulated debris.
III. OPERATION
A. Lake Drains
Lake drains should always be operable so that the pool level can be drawn
down in case of an emergency or for repairs or maintenance. Lake drain
valves or gates that have not been operated for a long time present a special
problem. Generally, when draining the pond, it should be drained slowly.
Open the drain until a good flow of water is present but not a torrent, so that
the water level can be drained over a period of 48 hours or more. Rapidly
lowering the water level in the pond can cause permanent damage to the
embankment and must be avoided. The gate valve controlling the lake drain
should be operated from fully closed to fully opened position at least twice a
year.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(Beazer Vaughan Subdivision): Wet Detention Pond #2
This manual established procedures for maintenance and operation of the Beazer
Vaughan Subdivision wet detention pond # 2.
Maintenance of Embankments
A. Vegetation
The embankment has a ground cover of fescue, which if properly maintained
will prevent erosion of the embankment and provide an easy surface for
inspection. The grass will be most difficult to obtain in the area subject to
water level fluctuation below the top of the riser. Grass should be fertilized
every October and April.
♦ Re- Seeding — periodically re- seeding may be required to establish grass
on areas where seek did not take or has been destroyed. Before seeding,
fertilizer (12- 12 -12) should be applied at a minimum rate of 12 to 15
pounds per 1,000 SF. The seed should be evenly sewn at a rate of three
pounds per 1,000 SF. The seed should be covered with soil to the depth
of approximately' / ". Immediately following the planting, the area should
be mulched with straw.
♦ Trees & Shrubs — trees, shrubs, and other landscape vegetation should be
permitted only as shown on the approved planting plan.
♦ Mowing — grass mowing, brush cutting and removal of weed vegetation
will be necessary for the proper maintenance of the embankment. All
embankment slopes and vegetation of spillways should be mowed when
the grass exceeds 8" in height. Acceptable methods include the use of
weed whips or power brush cutters and mowers.
B. Erosion
Erosion occurs when the water concentrates causing failure of the vegetation
or when vegetation dies and sets up the environment for rill erosion and
eventually gullies from the stormwater runoff. The dam should be inspected
for these areas. Proper care of vegetative areas that develop erosion is
required to prevent more serious damage to the embankment. Rills and
gullies should be filled with suitable soil compacted and then seeded.
Methods described in Section I -A, on vegetation, should be used to properly
establish the grass surface. Where eroded areas are detected, the cause of
the erosion should be addressed to prevent a continued maintenance
problem. Frequently problems result from the concentration of runoff to one
point of the embankment crest instead of a uniform distribution of runoff. This
can be corrected by reshaping the crest to more evenly distribute the runoff to
areas, which are not experiencing erosion problems. The top of the dam
should not be allowed to be used for pedestrian or bicycle traffic.
♦ Abutment Areas -- the abutment is the line formed where the embankment
fill comes into contact with the existing slope. Runoff from rainfall
concentrates in these gutter areas and can reach erosive velocities
because of the steep slopes. If a normal stand of grass cannot be
maintained on the abutments, additional measures may be needed such
as jute matting to provide for the establishment of a good ground cover.
o Upstream Embankment Slope — Erosion problems can develop on the
upstream face of the dam due to the fluctuation of water level in the pond.
This is a result of a combination of wave actions and ground saturation,
which occurs from the elevated water levels. The erosion generally
occurs as the water level falls and the saturated ground becomes
subjected to the wave action. If erosion becomes a problem, it may
necessitate the installation of a stone armoring along the zone subject to
fluctuating water level. This would consist of 18" of NCDOT Class B stone
for erosion control underlain with Mirifi 140 geotextile fabric. It should be
centered at the point of the erosion problem and covering an area 2'
above and below the approximate center of the eroded area.
C. Seepage
e Detection — due to the fact that the "permanent" impoundment level is only
5' deep, and the road embankment is immediately downstream and
continuous with the dam embankment, seepage should not be expected
on the downstream slope of the embankment. However, a cursory
inspection of the road embankment should be made for completeness of
the inspection. Seepage may vary in appearance from a soft wet area to
a flowing spring. It may show up first as only an area where the
vegetation is more lush and darker green. Cattails, reeds, mosses and
other marsh vegetation often become established in a seepage area. The
downstream abutment areas where the embankment fill and natural
ground interface are very common locations for seepage. Also the contact
between the embankment and the spillway conduit is a very common
location which is generally attributed to poor compaction around the
conduit. Due to the way in which conduits are put in, this is generally most
evident on the underside of the conduit. Slides may result from
excessively saturated embankment slopes. The natural foundation area
immediately downstream of the dam abutment should also be inspected to
ensure that "piping" is not occurring underneath the embankment.
"Piping" may appear as a "boil" evident as spring carries soil. The soil
usually deposits around the boil area and is evident by the sedimentary
deposits accompanying it. Seepage can also occur into the spillway
conduit through cracks in the pipe or improperly sealed joints. These can
be seen by observing the conduit when the water level is high. The
movement of the water itself is not dangerous, but if soil particles are
being carried with it, then it can create a shortcut for the piping of soil.
This might show up on the upstream face of the embankment roughly
along the line of the conduit itself.
D. Cracks, Slides, Sloughing, and Settlement
♦ Cracks — the entire embankment should be inspected for cracks. Short,
isolated cracks are usually not significant, but larger cracks (wider than
'/ "), well defined cracks indicate a serious problem. There are two types
of cracks: transverse and longitudinal.
Traverse cracks appear crossing the embankment and indicated
difference of settlement within the embankment. these cracks
provide avenues for seepage and piping could develop.
Longitudinal cracks run parallel to the embankment and may signal
the early stages of a slide. In recently built structures, these cracks
may be indicative of poor compaction or poor foundation
preparation resulting in consolidation after construction.
♦ Slides — Slides and slumps are serious threats to the safety of an
embankment. Slides can be detected easily unless obscured by
vegetation. Arch shaped cracks are indications that slides are slipping or
beginning to slip. These cracks soon develop into large scarps in the
slope at the top of the slide.
♦ Settlement — settlement occurs both during construction and after the
embankment has been completed and places in service. To a certain
degree this is normal and should be experienced. It is usually the most
pronounced at the location of maximum foundation depth or embankment
height. Excessive settlement will reduce the free board (difference in
elevation between the water surface and the top of the dam). Any area of
excessive settlement should be restored to original elevation and condition
to reduce the risk of overtopping. A relatively large amount of settlement
(more than 6 ") within a small area could indicate serious problems in the
foundation or perhaps the lower part of the embankment. Settlement
accompanied by cracking often precedes failure.
♦ What to do if seepage, cracks, slides or settlement are detected: If any of
the above items are detected there may be signs of significant problems,
which could lead, to the failure of the structure. A geotechnical or civil
engineer should be consulted regarding the origin of these problems and
for the assessment of the appropriate solutions for correcting them. If the
professional is not immediately able to inspect the dam, then the bottom
drain should be opened and the water level lowered to remove the risk of
failure until a professional can observe these problems.
E. Rodent Control
Generally in this urban environment, rodents are not a problem. Rodents
such as ground hogs, muskrats, and beavers are attracted to dams and
reservoirs and can be quite dangerous to structural integrity and proper
performance of the embankment and spillway. Groundhog and muskrats
thrive on burrowing in the manmade earth embankments, which become
pathways for seepage. In the event that burrows are detected within the dam,
then the rodents should be dealt with by removal.
II. MAINTENANCE OF SPILLWAYS & CONTROL STRUCTURES
A. Inspection of Spillway Conduits
Conduits should be inspected thoroughly once a year. Conduits should be
visually inspected by actually entering the conduit a sufficient distance
between the riser structure and the outlet to check all the joints. Because the
outlet works tie into the street storm sewer system, catch basins and pipes.
Conduit should be inspected for proper alignment (sagging), elongation and
displacement at joints, cracks, leaks, surface water, surface wear, loss of
protective coating, corrosion and blocking. Problems with conduits most often
occurs at joints and special attention should be given to them during
inspection. Joints should be checked for gaps caused by elongation or
settlement and loss of joint filler material. Open joints can permit erosion of
the embankment material and possibly the piping of soil material through the
joints. Catch basin should be checked for signs that water is seeping along
the exterior surface of the pipe where it enters the catch basin. A depression
in the soil surface over the pipe may be signs that soil is being removed from
around the pipe.
♦ What to do if problems are detected with the spillway: Retain the
assistance of a civil engineer or geotechnical engineer qualified in the
design of embankments to perform an inspection of the dam. If in doubt,
lower the water surface elevation of the pond until such time as an
inspection can be performed by a qualified professional.
B. Trashracks on Pipe Spillways
The spillway riser and rip -rap weir for this dam is the only spillway structures.
The intake structure has been fitted with a trashrack to prevent debris from
entering the spillway structure. Most of the runoff entering the pond comes in
through grated inlets, which have essentially provided filtration of the runoff
and should limit the size of the debris that enters the basin to floating debris
which will most likely pass through the trashrack. The opening between the
trashrack and riser is smaller than the opening of the outlet pipe. The intent is
that any debris, which passes through the trashrack, will be easily passed by
the pipe outlet.
Maintenance should include periodically checking the rack for rusted or
broken sections and repairing as needed. The trashrack should be checked
frequently during and after storm events to ensure that it is properly
functioning and to remove accumulated debris.
111�QTAS-JAV Q-LI1
A. Lake Drains
Lake drains should always be operable so that the pool level can be drawn
down in case of an emergency or for repairs or maintenance. Lake drain
valves or gates that have not been operated for a long time present a special
problem. Generally, when draining the pond, it should be drained slowly.
Open the drain until a good flow of water is present but not a torrent, so that
the water level can be drained over a period of 48 hours or more. Rapidly
lowering the water level in the pond can cause permanent damage to the
embankment and must be avoided. The gate valve controlling the lake drain
should be operated from fully closed to fully opened position at least twice a
year.

II. OPERATION
See attached Operation & Maintenance Manual
A. Record Keeping
The Town of Holly Springs shall be provided with written inspection reports as specified in this manual. These reports
shall be provided annually within 30 days of the anniversary of receipt of the "Stormwater BMP /O &M Responsibility
Transfer" letter (form #16037). A professional engineer shall certify the reports. The Town of Holly Springs
Engineering Department shall be notified as soon as any deficiencies in the detention structure are recorded. The Town
shall be notified of the proposed methods to bring the structure into conformance and furthermore, the Town shall
approve of any proposed work to be completed on any part of the structure prior to any work being started. After work
has been completed the Town shall inspect and approve of the work before it shall be considered complete. After the
Town approves the work an as -built drawing shall be completed and provided to the Town.
Note: Operation of a BMP should include the following:
• Annual & Quarterly Inspection Reports — a collection of a written inspection report should be kept on record,
Inspection should be conducted at minimum quarterly and certified by a professional engineer annually.
• Observations — all observations should be recorded. Where periodic inspections are performed following
significant rainfall events, these inspections should be logged on the log forms found in Appendix D of the Town's
Design Manual or created specifically for the project.
• Maintenance — written records of maintenance and/or repairs should be recorded on the Operation & Maintenance
Log Form found in Appendix D of the Town's Design Manual or created specifically for the project.
• Other Operation Procedures — the owner should maintain a complete and up -to -date set of plans (as -built drawings)
and all changes made to the dam over time should be recorded on the as- builts. Mylar and digital as- builts shall be
provided to the Town each time they are updated.
B. Sedimentation & Dredging
Sedimentation from establishing areas tributary to the BMP may eventually result in the reduction of the storage
volume and eventually will have to be removed. The frequency of this sediment removal can be reduced by ensuring
that the site areas around the building be stabilized with a vegetative ground cover such that it restrains erosion. This
would include a periodic application of fertilizer and other treatments necessary to promote a stable groundcover and
minimize sedimentation to the BMP. The maintenance on this BMP requires that (provide design specific clean out
information here). For aesthetic purposes it may be desirable to maintain it prior to this point. The removed material
should be hauled offsite to a suitable landfill site or mounded somewhere on site and stabilized with a groundcover
sufficient to restrain erosion.

III. OPERATION
A. Lake Drains
Lake drains should always be operable so that the pool level can be drawn
down in case of an emergency or for repairs or maintenance. Lake drain
valves or gates that have not been operated for a long time present a special
problem. Generally, when draining the pond, it should be drained slowly.
Open the drain until a good flow of water is present but not a torrent, so that
the water level can be drained over a period of 48 hours or more. Rapidly
lowering the water level in the pond can cause permanent damage to the
embankment and must be avoided. The gate valve controlling the lake drain
should be operated from fully closed to fully opened position at least twice a
year.

Operation and Maintenance Agreement
I will keep a maintenance record on this BMP. This maintenance record will be kept in a
log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be
corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
Important maintenance procedures:
— Immediately after the filter strip is established, any newly planted vegetation
will be watered twice weekly if needed until the plants become established
(commonly six weeks).
— Once a year, the filter strip will be reseeded to maintain a dense growth of
vegetation
— Stable groundcover will be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the
sediment load to the vegetation.
— 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. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
