Section 2
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall be repaired immediately.
SCM element: Potential problem: How to remediate the problem:
Entire Vegetated Area Compaction Avoid compation or till and amend.
Solar Area Concentration of SW Regrade as needed
Entire Vegetated Area Maintenance Mow to a height of 6"
Receiving Water Body Erosion or sedimentation Contact Engineer and NCDEQ Regional Office
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.
