Level Spreader -Vegetated Filter Strip / Restored Riparian Buffer Maintenance Requirements
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.

Sand Filter Maintenance Requirements
Important maintenance procedures:
- The drainage area will be carefully managed to reduce the sediment load to the sand filter.
- The sedimentation chamber or forebay will be cleaned out whenever sediment depth exceeds six inches.
- Once a year, sand media will be skimmed.
- The sand filter media will be replaced whenever it fails to function properly after maintenance.
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. Any problems that are found shall be repaired immediately.
