Low Density Maintenance Requirements
Important maintenance procedures:
The drainage area to the vegetated conveyance or vegetated receiving area will be carefully managed to
reduce the sediment load to the vegetated conveyance or vegetated receiving area.
After the initial fertilization to establish the grass in the vegetated conveyance or the vegetated receiving
area,fertilizer will not be applied to the vegetated receiving areas.
The vegetated conveyance or vegetated receiving area will be inspected quarterly. 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.

Disconnected Impervious Area Maintenance Requirements
Important operation and maintenance procedures:
The roof area will be maintained to reduce the debris and sediment load to the system. Excess debris
can clog the system and lead to bypass of the design storm, reducing infiltration and pollutant removal.
To ensure proper operation as designed, a licensed Professional Engineer, Landscape Architect, or
other qualified professional will inspect the system annually.
- The system components will be repaired or replaced whenever they fail to function properly.
After the DIS is constructed, it shall be inspected quarterly. Records of operation and maintenance shall be kept in a
known set location and shall be available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall be repaired immediately.

Level Spreader-Filter Strip Maintenance Requirements
Important operation and 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).
Stable groundcover will be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the sediment load to the level
spreader-filter strip.
Every two weeks during the growing season, the filter strip will be mowed. Turf grass should not be cut
- shorter than 4-6 inches and may be allowed to grow as tall as 12 inches depending on aesthetic
requirements (NIPC, 1993).
Once a year, the soil will be aerated if necessary and the filter strip will be reseeded to maintain a dense
growth of vegetation.
- Once a year, soil pH will be tested and lime will be added if necessary.
For the fist two years after the LS-FS is established, it 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). After two years of successful performance, it will be
inspected quarterly. Records of operation and maintenance shall be kept in a known set location and shall be available
upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall be repaired immediately.
