Maintenance Headaches
These are the reasons why it is important to have a maintenance program
![Page 7: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. Sediment Toxicity
Sediments can be toxic…

3. Mosquitoes & West Nile
I just love them BMPs!
![Page 10: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
4. Unruly Vegetation
There used to be a BMP in here
somewhere…
![Page 11: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

NO ACCESS
Maintain this!
I can’t even get down there!

6. Bankrupt Homeowners
What do you mean we’ve got to maintain it?
![Page 13: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

9. Missing BMPs
That pond’s got to be around here somewhere...
I thought this was supposed to be a sand
filter

10. BMPs That Make the News
![Page 18: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Maintenance Scoping Questions How many BMPs do you expect? Where will they be located? Public vs. private maintenance? Extent & level of service provided? How frequently to inspect? How many existing BMPs already? Legal mechanisms to enforce it?
![Page 19: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Poll Question 4 Who has the primary maintenance responsibility in your community?
(A) Haven’t figured it out yet.
(B) Private landowner or homeowner association
(C) Public sector or local government
(D) Hybrid of private and public sector
(E) Outsourced to Indian subcontinent

Building a Better Stormwater Maintenance Program
Most local programs exist on a shoestring but some very small early investments can yield major reductions in long-term maintenance costs for the community as a whole
Here are ten tips that have worked in small communities
![Page 27: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. Reduce Maintenance Burden Before Construction Reduce maintenance headaches with tough design standards…
if you don’t ask for it, you won’t get it! Thorough plan review ensures design standards are properly
implemented Review the plan as if you were the maintenance crews Get standards off the books and onto site plans
Good examples of BMP design standards to reduce maintenance burdenCan be found in Resource 1

Make Sure it’s the Right BMP for the Site
![Page 30: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Don’t Design for Costly Sediment Removal
![Page 31: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Make sediment removal operations quick, easy and cheap
![Page 32: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
No access – No Mow - No Maintenance
Still ain’t good
![Page 33: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Side-slope control and access roads
That’s better…
![Page 34: Killing Two Birds with One Stone:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816031550346895dcf4ea6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What will the vegetation look like in 10 years?
Still looking for that BMP…

Review of Catch Basin Studies Only a handful of studies monitored the pollutant reduction
and the optimal frequencies for cleanouts at a catchment scale. Cleanouts may reduce pollutants by 5 to 25% depending on
catchment conditions, cleaning frequency and type of pollutant.
Pollutant removal capability of catchbasins is constrained by their design
