Dear Sir/Madam:
In lieu of Form SW401-O&M, Ft Bragg will comply with NPDES
Phase II Permit # NCS000331. Fort Bragg NPDES Phase II Permit #
NCS000331 Part II.F.l.b&c requires development and
implementation of strategies which include a combination of
structural and /or non-structural best management practices
(BMPs) and ensure long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs.
Additionally, Part II.G.2.h requires Ft Bragg to maintain and
implement an O&M program for structural stormwater controls.
The 0&M program shall specify the frequency of inspection and
routine maintenance requirements. Ft Bragg shall inspect and
maintain all structural stormwater controls in accordance with
the schedule developed by Ft Bragg.
Ft Bragg's Stormwater Control Measures Inspection and
Maintenance Manual fulfills these requirements of the NPDES Phase
II permit.
Fort Bragg military installation is committed to maintaining
compliant environmental programs while ensuring full mission
support. If you have any questions on the information provided
please contact Mr. Lee Ward, Chief, Water Management Section,

Bioretention 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 operation and maintenance procedures:
— Immediately after the bioretention cell is established, the plants will be watered
twice weekly if needed until the plants become established (commonly six
weeks).
— Snow, mulch or any other material will NEVER be piled on the surface of the
bioretention cell.
— Heavy equipment will NEVER be driven over the bioretention cell.
— Special care will be taken to prevent sediment from entering the bioretention cell.
— Once a year, a soil test of the soil media will be conducted.
After the bioretention cell is established, I will inspect it once a month and within 24
hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches
�}. 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.

How I will remediate the problem:
Regrade if necessary to route all
flow to the pretreatment area.
Restabilize the area after grading.
Search for the source of the
sediment and remedy the problem if
possible. Remove the sediment and
restabilize the pretreatment area.
Provide additional erosion
protection such as reinforced turf
matting or riprap if needed to
prevent future erosion problems.
Remove the weeds, preferably by
hand.
Prune according to best professional
practices.
Determine the source of the
problem: soils, hydrology, disease,
etc. Remedy the problem and
replace plants. Provide a one-time
fertilizer application to establish the
ground cover if a soil test indicates
it is necessary.
Remove tree stake/wires (which
can kill the tree if not removed).
Spot mulch if there are only random
void areas. Replace whole mulch
layer if necessary. Remove the
remaining much and replace with
triple shredded hard wood mulch at
a maximum depth of three inches.
Determine the extent of the clogging
- remove and replace either just the
top layers or the entire media as
needed. Dispose of the spoil in an
appropriate off -site location. Use
triple shredded hard wood mulch at
a maximum depth of three inches.
Search for the source of the
sediment and remedy the problem if
possible.
Dolomitic lime shall be applied as
recommended per the soil test and
toxic soils shall be removed,
disposed of properly and replaced
with new planting media.
