2.1 Types of maintenance
Presently, procedures have been developed for two levels               Inspection/minor maintenance typically involves opening
of maintenance:                                                        the flow restricting valves (to pre-set levels) and cleaning up
                                                                       vegetation and debris. Major maintenance typically includes
•    Inspection and/or minor maintenance
                                                                       cartridge recharging. Major maintenance may involve disposal
•    Major maintenance.                                                of materials that require consideration of regulatory guidelines.
Inspection/minor maintenance activities are combined since             Depending on the particular unit configuration and equipment
the minor maintenance does not require special equipment               used, major maintenance may require an understanding
and typically little or no materials are in need of disposal.          of OSHA rules. Table 1 summarises the primary activities
                                                                       associated with StormFilter maintenance.
