CONTRACT PRECS DRAWING UYOUT 4A 1 1 EXHIBIT `C' MINIMUM MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR STORM WATER FACILITIES OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF JELLYFISH BMP Jellyfish Filter BMP The Jellyfish Filter is a specially engineered water quality treatment technology, which features pre-treatment and membrane filtration in a compact stand-alone treatment system that removes a high level and wide variety of stormwater pollutants. The pollutants removal is achieved at high flow rates with minimal. headloss and maintenance costs. Each filter consists of multiple membrane-encased filter elements attached to a cartridge head plate, which provide large amount of surface area that results in excellent treatment capacity. Proper maintenance is required to ensure optimum performance of the Jellyfish Filter. Inspection Frequency Inspection of Jellyfish Filter should be provided by trained personal with experience in inspection of water quality treatment systems, and are trained in confined space entry procedures. Inspection is recommended every 12 months by a manufacturer. In an event of hazardous material spill all appropriate agencies should be notified, and an immediate maintenance of Jellyfish Filter is recommended. The inspection procedure can be completed without entering the structure by following these steps: 1. Locate manhole covers or hatch doors. 2 If required, set up safety equipment to ensure pedestrian and vehicle traffic are directed around the area. 3. Jellyfish Filter can be inspected through the manhole covers or hatch doors. All access covers should be removed to provide additional light and proper ventilation. If custom hatch doors were installed instead of frames and covers, open all doors. 4. Visually inspect the Maintenance Access Wall (MAW) area for debris, floatables and oil. 5. Visually inspect the cartridge deck area and outlet pipe to ensure it is free of debris and the passive back wash function is fully operational. In dry weather the backwash pool should be empty of water. If the passive backwash function is not operating properly the backwash pool will contain more than 3 inches (75 mm) depth of water after 12 or more hours of dry weather have elapsed since the most recent rainfall/run off event. 6. Measure sediment depth at the MAW using a dipstick tube equipped with a ball valve (Sludge Judge®). If the sediment depth exceeds 12 inches (300 mm) it is recommended to remove the accumulated sediment by vacuuming the unit out. 7. Record all observations including condition of the backwash pool and sediment depth. Additionally, taking pictures for record purposes is recommended. 8. Close all covers and/or hatches and remove safety equipment. 9. Complete the inspection procedure by filling out the inspection report and following the maintenance procedures in Section 3.2 to determine if maintenance is required. Maintenance Activities Maintenance of Jellyfish Filter should be performed by trained personal with experience in maintenance of water quality treatment systems Toxic gases may be released when the lower chamber of the filter is serviced. The manufacturer recommends inspection and/or maintenance of Jellyfish Filter right after construction process, and at least every 12 months (more frequently in the first year of service and of specific site conditions require), based on the following objectives- • Maintenance cleaning is easier when sediment from the sump is removed regularly • Occlusion (plugging) of the membrane filtration cartridges with sediment will occur over time and necessitate the need for manual backflushing or rinsing of the cartridges to restore flow and sediment capacity • Routine inspection and maintenance helps ensure the Jellyfish Filter will perform as designed. Although the frequency of maintenance will depend on site conditions, it is estimated that annual maintenance may be required for most applications The Jellyfish Filter should be maintained if any of the following conditions exist: • Greater than 12 inches (300 mm) of accumulated sediment at the bottom of the sump • 3 inches (75 mm) or more of standing water is present in the backwash pool during dry weather • If excessive floatables and debris are present • If hazardous material or oil is present • If the system has not been maintained for 3 years Maintenance of the Jellyfish Filter will be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association For proper maintenance to be performed, the storm water treatment facility must be accessible to both maintenance personnel and their equipment and materials.
