Filter Strip, Restored Riparian Buffer and Level Spreader
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 optinwnn 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. Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in
a known set location and will be available upon request. Annually, by May 31, an inspection
shall be completed by a qualified professional and submitted to the City of Burlington.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall be repaired
immediately.
