1.2.5   Maintenance Overview


The primary purpose of the Storm Filter is to filter out and prevent pollutants from entering our
                                                                                                      waterways.
Like any effective filtration system, periodically these pollutants must be removed to restore the Storm Filter to
its full efficiency and effectiveness. Maintenance requirements and frequency are dependent on the
                                                                                                        pollutant
load characteristics of each site.   To assist the owner with maintenance       issues, stormwater360 provides
detailed Operation & Maintenance Guidelines with each unit.


Stormwater360 can provide maintenance services completely, or in part. Available services include tracking of
installed systems, advising the system’s owner of maintenance needs, and notification of the regulatory

agency once the system has been maintained.


Maintenance is usually performed in the dryer periods to rejuvenate the filter media and
                                                                                             prepare the system
for the next rainy period.   Maintenance activities can also be
                                                              required in the event of a chemical spill or
excessive sediment loading due to site erosion or extreme storms. It is good practice to inspect the
                                                                                                     system
after severe storm events.
