2.4.4   Related Maintenance Activities (Performed on an as-needed basis)


StormFilter units are often just one of many components in a more comprehensive stormwater drainage and
treatment system. The entire system may include catch basins, detention vaults, sedimentation vaults and

manholes, detention/retention ponds, swales, artificial wetlands, and other miscellaneous components.      In
order for maintenance of the Storm Filter to be successful, it is imperative that all other components be

properly maintained. The maintenance/repair of upstream facilities should be carried out prior to StormFilter
maintenance activities.  In addition to considering upstream facilities, it is also important to correct any

problems identified in the drainage area. Drainage area concerns may include: erosion problems, heavy oil
and grease loading, and discharges of inappropriate materials.




2.5     TYPICAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES



Typical equipment required for conducting maintenance is shown in Table 5. Some of the materials listed are
suggestions rather than requirements.    It should be noted that there is more than one way to accomplish
some tasks.   Owners with available labour and equipment resources may desire to use alternative methods.

However, it is advisable that guidance from Stormwater360 be obtained prior to using alternative techniques.
