Like any landscape feature, bioretention areas must be pruned, mulched, and even initially watered and limed. Grassed bioretention cells are usually mowed. The need for rapid establishment requires bioretention cells to be limed, if indicated by a soil test. Additionally, plants may need to be spot-fertilized to ensure growth and survival in low P soils. Watering the plants every 2 to 3 days for a month or two helps ensure vegetation survival. The frequency of these tasks vanes seasonally, with more frequent maintenance required in summer than in winter. Maintenance tasks unique to bioretention include occasional removal of mulch and the top layer of fill soil. Because clogging occurs most frequently at the top of the soil column, the bioretention basin rarely needs to be completely excavated. However, this has been necessary when the bioretention cell was located in an unstable drainage area. BIORETENTION MAINTENANCE TASKS Task Frequency Maintenance Notes Pruning 1 - 2 times /year Nutrients in runoff often cause bioretention vegetation to flourish. Mowing 2 - 12 times/ year Frequency depends upon location and desired aesthetic appeal Mulch accumulation reduces available Mulching 1 - 2 times/year water storage volume. Mulch Removal 1 time/2 - 3 years Removal of mulch also increases surface infiltration rate of fill soil. 1 time/2 - 3 days for first If droughty, watering after the Watering 1 - 2 months. Sporadically initial year may be required. after establishment. One time spot fertilization for"first Fertilization 1 time initially year" vegetation. Within the first year, 10 percent of Remove and Replace 1 time/year plants may die. Dead Plants Survival rates increase with time. Tasks include trash collection, spot Miscellaneous weeding, and removing mulch from Upkeep 12 times /year overflow device. Bioretention and Landscape Areas The operational and maintenance needs of a Bioretention Basin are: • Vegetation management to maintain adequate hydraulic functioning and to limit habitat for disease-carrying animals. • Animal and vector control. • Periodic sediment removal to optimize performance. • Trash, debris, grass trimmings, tree pruning, and leaf collection and removal to prevent obstruction of a Swale and monitoring equipment. • Erosion and structural maintenance to prevent the loss of soil and maintain the performance of the Swale. Functional Maintenance Functional maintenance has two components: Preventive maintenance Corrective maintenance Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance activities to be instituted at a Bio-filter Swale are: • Trash and Debris. During each inspection and maintenance visit to the site, debris and trash removal will be conducted to reduce the potential for inlet and outlet structures and other components from becoming clogged and inoperable during storm events. • Sediment Removal. Sediment accumulation, as part of the operation and maintenance program at a Swale, will be monitored once a month during the dry season, after every large storm (0.50 inch), and monthly during the wet season. Specifically, if sediment reaches a level at or near plant height, or could interfere with flow or operation, the sediment will be removed. If accumulation of debris or sediment is determined to be the cause of decline in design performance, prompt action (i.e., within ten working days) will be taken to restore the Swale to design performance standards. Removal of Standing Water. Standing water must be removed if it contributes to the development of aquatic plant communities or mosquito breeding areas. • Fertilization and Irrigation. The vegetation seed mix has been designed so that fertilization and irrigation is not necessary. Fertilizers and irrigation will not be used to maintain the vegetation. • Elimination of Mosquito Breeding Habitats. The most effective mosquito control program is one that eliminates potential breeding habitats. Corrective Maintenance Corrective maintenance is required on an emergency or non-routine basis to correct problems and to restore the intended operation and safe function of a Bioretention Basin. Corrective maintenance activities include: • Removal of Debris and Sediment. Sediment, debris, and trash, which impede the hydraulic functioning of a Swale and prevent vegetative growth, will be removed and properly disposed. • Structural Repairs. Once deemed necessary, repairs to structural components of a Swale and its inlet and outlet structures will be done within 10 working days. • Embankment and Slope Repairs. Once deemed necessary, damage to the embankments and slopes of Swales will be repaired within 10 working days). • Erosion Repair. Where a reseeding program has been ineffective, or where other factors have created erosive conditions (i.e., pedestrian traffic, concentrated flow, etc.), corrective steps will be taken to prevent loss of soil and any subsequent danger to the performance of a Swale. There are a number of corrective actions than can be taken. These include erosion control blankets, riprap. Hazardous Waste Suspected hazardous wastes will be analyzed to determine disposal options. Hazardous wastes generated onsite will be handled and disposed of according to applicable local, state, and federal regulations. A solid or liquid waste is considered a hazardous waste if it exceeds the criteria list in the CCR, Title 22, Article 11. Storm Water Storage System • Periodic inspections of the inlet and outlet areas to ascertain correct operation of system and to clean materials trapped on grates protecting catch basins and inlet area should be required monthly. o Routine sweeping and cleaning of impervious drainage areas will reduce floatables and sediment loading to underground stormwater storage. • The primary maintenance concerns are removal of floatables that become trapped and removal of accumulating sediments within the system; this should be done at least on an annual basis. Proprietary traps and filters associated with stormwater storage units should be maintained as recommended by the manufacturer. • Confined space safety procedures must be followed by workers entering an underground stormwater storage facility. • Sediments are best removed mechanically rather than flushing. If flushing is the only option then great care must be taken not to flush sediments downstream into native waters. • Any structural repairs required to inlet and outlet areas should be addressed in a timely manner on an as needed basis. • Local authorities may require annual inspection or require that they carry out inspections and maintenance. • The pump system must be tested and inspected before each rainy season and after each mayor storm event.
