Inspection Summary:
At the time of inspection, it appeared that the associated built -upon area and stormwater control measure (infiltration
basin) had been initially constructed per the stormwater management permit and approved plans. However, it was
apparent that the infiltration basin has not been properly maintained. Vegetative growth and standing water was obsen
throughout the main treatment area, which should be 12" of clean sand. Large trees and shrubs are growing within a
significant portion of the infiltration basin and around the rip rap dissipator receiving bypass flows from the storm drain
splitter box. Due to the standing water and abundance of vegetative growth throughout the infiltration basin, other aspe
of the permitted system such as the forebay and grass filter strip could not be thoroughly evaluated. An area of erosior
at the southern end of the infiltration basin was also observed. Records of inspection and maintenance activities could
not be provided for review upon request.
Appropriate maintenance must be conducted on all parts of the permitted stormwater management system in order to
meet approved design criteria. Upon completion of necessary maintenance, a follow-up inspection will be conducted.
Please note that Stormwater Management Permit SW6120306 expired on April 12, 2020 and must be renewed.
