The purpose of this 0 & M Plan is to describe the designated responsible party to manage the storm water BMPs, employee's training program and duties, operating schedule, maintenance frequency, routine service schedule and specific maintenance activities as called for in the approved Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP) for the Creekside Plaza Building Addition project in the City of Poway. The 0 & M Plan is subject to revisions as needed by the City Engineer. A. DESIGNATED RESPONSIBLE PARTY ROIC California, LLC 11250 El Camino Real, Suite 200 San Diego, CA 92130 Mr. Richard Shoebel (858) 677-0900 B. SUMMARY OF SWQMP To address water quality for the project, ROIC California, LLC shall implement Site Design BMPs, Source Control BMPs and Treatment Control BMPs until such time as the lot is sold or quit claimed to another individual or entity. After the sale is finalized, the new owner(s) shall implement the Site Design BMPs, Source Control BMPs and Treatment Control BMPs. (1) Site Design/LID BMPs The proposed Creekside Plaza Building Addition project minimizes the amount of impervious area as outlined in Site Design (SD) BMP Requirements 4.3 (SD-3) in the Manual by reconstructing parking lots aisles and sidewalks to the minimum widths necessary. The proposed redevelopment minimizes soil compaction on site by providing plenty of pedestrian access paths that should keep pedestrians out of landscaped areas thereby protecting soils in those areas as outlined in the Manual (SD-4). Finally, the project includes landscaping with native or drought tolerant species as highlighted in the Manual (SD-7). (2) Source Control BMPs The Creekside Plaza Building Addition project intends to effectively eliminate discharges of non-stormwater in storm water runoff as discussed in Source Control (SC) BMP Requirements 4.2 (SC-1) of the Manual. This will be accomplished by use of efficient irrigation systems which will be incorporated into the landscape design for the project and the irrigation system will be designed to meet each landscape area's specific water requirements. In addition, landscaping will be designed to minimize irrigation and runoff, to promote surface infiltration where appropriate and to minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that can contribute to storm water pollution. The Creekside Plaza Building Addition project will identify the storm drain system using stenciling as outlined in the Manual (SC-2). All concrete catch basins will be stamped or stenciled with prohibitive language (e.g., "No Dumping — I Live in Poway Creek") or similar and/or graphical icons to discourage illegal dumping satisfactory to the City Engineer. If required, the stamping shall be in Spanish as well. The Creekside Plaza Building Addition project includes a trash storage area that will be constructed per City of Poway standards and will be protected from rainfall, run-on, runoff and wind dispersal as outlined in the Manual (SC-5). ROIC California, LLC will employ additional BMPs based upon potential sources of runoff as called for in the Manual (SC-6). For example, ROIC California, LLC will employ Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to eliminate and/or reduce the need for pesticide use in the project design by incorporating pest -resistant plants and/or native plants. ROIC California, LLC will distribute IPM educational material to all future owners, lessees and operators. The IPM materials will address the following topics: (1) Keeping pests out of buildings and landscaping using banners, screens and caulking; (2) Physical pest elimination techniques, such as weeding, trapping, washing, or pruning out pests; (3) Relying on natural enemies to eat pests; and (4) Proper use of pesticides as a last line of defense. In addition, the design of the proposed building will include facilities in the interior of the building to intercept fire sprinkler test water and water from miscellaneous drains and direct it to the onsite sewer system. Finally, the proposed plaza and sidewalk will be swept regularly to eliminate the accumulation of litter and debris. An additional Source Control BMP to be used on -site is good housekeeping. Good housekeeping practices that shall be utilized on site include keeping outdoor areas in a neat and orderly condition, picking up garbage left within the pavement and landscape areas. The site shall be visually inspected on a weekly basis to remove all "foreign" items including, but not limited to, landscape debris and common trash. Routine maintenance procedures for good housekeeping include removing all freshly trimmed landscape items and natural deposited items such as annual leaves and dispose off -site per governing codes. Finally, the paved areas shall be swept as necessary using dry methods (manual sweeping, street sweepers, etc.) to remove dust and sediment buildup. (3) Treatment Control BMPs As a priority development project, the design of the proposed Creekside Plaza Building Addition project includes treatment control BMPs to remove the pollutants of concern from the storm water runoff generated on -site for the 85th percentile storm. For this project, ROIC California, LLC has decided to utilize a Filterra Bioretention Units to facilitate pollutant control of the priority pollutants of concern and underground storm water detention connected to a flow control structure to meet the hydromodification flow control requirements. (a) Filterra Bioretention Units Filterra is a specially engineered storm water treatment system incorporating high performance biofiltration media to remove pollutants from storm water runoff. The system's biota (vegetation and soil microorganisms) then further break down and absorb captured pollutants. All components of the system work together to provide a sustainable long-term solution for treating storm water runoff. The proposed Filterra Bioretention Units can be accessed from the onsite parking. The manufacturer and part number for the proposed proprietary Filterra Bioretention Units are as follows: Contech Engineered Solutions, LLC 9025 Centre Pointe Drive, Suite 400 West Chester, OH 45069 (800) 338-1122 FT1 = FTCUST0710 FT2 = FTCUST0812 FT3 = FTPD0608-D (b) Underground Storm Water Storage System The project will include an underground storm water storage system connected to a cast -in -place concrete flow control / cleanout structure. The system will be located beneath the parking lot. The interior of the flow control structure will be 6-feet in height to allow for easy access for repairs to and/or cleaning of the underground storm water storage system. (c) Full Trash Capture Connector Pipe Screen The project will include an installation of two Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) manufactured by Bio Clean Environmental which have been approved by the State of California to meet the full trash capture storm water requirement. The first CPS will be installed on the outgoing pipe from the proposed curb inlet and will act as a pretreatment device to keep trash and debris out of the underground storm water storage system. The second CPS will be installed on the outgoing pipe located in the existing storm drain cleanout located east of the proposed project in order to help the project meet the full trash capture storm water requirement. Both the curb inlet and existing storm drain cleanout have manhole access to allow for easy access for repairs and/or cleaning of the Connector Pipe Screens. C. EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAM Inspection of the implementation of the SWQMP must be done by trained personnel. In addition, training of employees, contractors and sub -contractors can be an important BMP. To accomplish this, ROIC California, LLC shall hold a training seminar for designated owner representatives, lessees, operators, contractors and sub -contractors. The seminar shall cover the following topics at a minimum: • Background of "pointless Pollution" video on non -point source pollution • Information on potential fines, citizen lawsuits • Review of the SWQMP section by section • Common problem areas in implementation • Review of monitoring checklists • Construction details of protective measures The goal of the storm water management training program is to inform employees, lessees, operators, contractors, and subcontractors of their levels of responsibility for components and goals of the SWQMP. This training program is a preventative maintenance technique, because when properly informed, employees, lessees, operators, contractors, and subcontractors have increased awareness and are more capable of preventing spills, responding safely and effectively to accidents, and recognizing situations that could lead to storm water contamination. Storm water management training should be provided by ROIC California, LLC on an "As Needed" basis. Attendance records should be kept for each training session. Inspection logs and checklists should be distributed to all personnel who will be performing the monitoring and reporting. D. INSPECTION PROGRAM FOR BMPs As long as ROIC California, LLC owns Lot 9, the contact person in charge of the inspection program is Mr. Richard Shoebel and he can be reached at (858) 677-0900. (1) SOURCE CONTROL BMPS Storm Water Conveyance Stamping and Signage The private storm drain system shall be inspected and inspection visits shall be completely documented: • Once a month at a minimum or as directed by the local governing official. Trash Storage Area The trash storage area shall be inspected and inspection visits shall be completely documented: • Routine inspection on a weekly basis to verify all trash is stored in the provided bins. • The provided bins shall be inspected annually prior to October 1st for any damaged or worn parts and all necessary repairs shall be completed prior to October 15th of each year. Integrated Pest Management The project site shall be inspected and inspection visits shall be completely documented: • Once a month at a minimum or as directed by the local governing official.

(2) TREATMENT CONTROL BMPS Filterra Bioretention System Contech includes a 1-year maintenance plan with each system purchase. Annual included maintenance consists of a maximum of two (2) scheduled visits. Additional maintenance may be necessary depending on sediment and trash loading (by owner or at additional cost). Maintenance visits are scheduled seasonally; the Spring visit aims to clean up after winter loads while the Fall visit helps the system by removing excessive leaf litter. Owners should advise other landscape or maintenance contractors to leave all maintenance to the Supplier (i.e. no pruning or fertilizing) during the first year. Underground Storm Water Storage System The underground storm water storage system shall be inspected and inspection visits shall be completely documented: • Prior to the onset of the rainy season and just after the rainy season. The rainy season begins on October 1 and ends on April 30. The inspection tasks required for the underground storm water storage system are as follows: • Manholes: Remove cover. Use a flashlight to detect sediment deposits. If present, measure sediment depth with a stadia rod accounting for depth of sump (if present). Inspect pipes connecting to the flow control / cleanout structure. Record results on a maintenance log. Replace cover. Repeat procedure for all manholes. • If sediment accumulation reaches 6-inch in height within the system, then maintenance is required on the system. The following inspection tasks are required for the flow control weir walls and orifices of the flow control / cleanout structure that should be done on an ongoing basis just before annual storm seasons and following rain events are as follows: • Check for accumulated garbage, sediment and debris adjacent to the flow control weir walls and orifices. Full Trash Capture Connector Pipe Screen The Full Trash Capture Connector Pipe Screens shall be inspected and inspection visits shall be completely documented: • Prior to the onset of the rainy season and just after the rainy season. The rainy season begins on October 1 and ends on April 30. The inspection tasks required for the Connector Pipe Screens are as follows: • Manholes: Remove cover. Use a flashlight to detect sediment/trash/debris deposits. If present, measure sediment depth with a stadia rod accounting for depth of sump (if present). Record results on a maintenance log. Replace cover. Repeat procedure for all manholes. • If sediment/trash/debris accumulation reaches 6-inch in height within the system, then maintenance is required on the system. E. MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR BMPs The operation and maintenance requirements for each type of BMP are as follows: (1) SOURCE CONTROL BMPS Storm Water Conveyance Stamping and Signage The stamping or stenciling shall be maintained to remain legible. If 25% of a stencil has worn off, all stencils shall be repainted. Trash Storage Areas • Lined bins or dumpsters shall be free from leaking of liquid waste. • Signs on all dumpsters informing users that hazardous materials are not to be disposed of therein shall be legible and clearly visible. • No trash shall be allowed to collect outside the provided trash bins. If trash accumulates and overflows the provided bins, the schedule for trash pickup shall be increased to account for the amount of trash accumulated. • The trash enclosure floors shall be washed monthly to ensure no buildup of surface contaminants. • 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 listed in the CCR, Title 22, Article 11. Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem -based pollution prevention strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as: • Biological control • Habitat Manipulation • Modification of cultural practices • Use of resistant plant varieties Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non -target organisms, and the environment. The operational and maintenance needs of an integrated pest management shall be: • Plant pest -resistant or well -adapted plant varieties such as native plants to eliminate and/or reduce the need for pesticide use in the project design. • Discourage pests by modifying the site and landscape design. Preventive Maintenance Pollution prevention is the primary "first line of defense" because pollutants that are never used do not have to be controlled or treated. Educational materials shall be distributed to future site residents/tenants with the following topics: • Keeping pests out of building and landscaping using barriers, screens and caulking. • Physical pest elimination techniques such as weeding, squashing, trapping, washing, or pruning out pests. • Relying on natural predators to eat the pests • Proper use of pesticide as a last line of defense. Efficient Irrigation System The operational and maintenance needs of an irrigation system are: • Preventive maintenance and visual inspection of all sprinkler heads and lines. • Periodic testing of all irrigation stations to verify if each landscape area is getting the correct amount of water. • Periodic testing of all flow reducers and/or shutoff valves to verify in good working order. Aesthetic and Functional Maintenance Both forms of maintenance will be combined into an overall Stormwater Management System Maintenance. Aesthetic Maintenance The following activities will be included in the aesthetic maintenance program: • Broken sprinkler heads and/or lines will be repaired or replaced in a timely manner. Functional Maintenance Functional maintenance has two components: Preventive maintenance Corrective maintenance Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance activities to be instituted for an irrigation system include: • Preventive maintenance and visual inspection of all sprinkler heads and lines. • Periodic testing of all irrigation stations to verify if each landscape area is getting the correct amount of water. • Periodic testing of all flow reducers and/or shutoff valves to verify in good working order. 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 an irrigation system. Corrective maintenance activities include: • Broken sprinkler heads and/or lines will be repaired or replaced in a timely manner. • General Facility Maintenance. In addition to the above elements of corrective maintenance, general corrective maintenance will address the overall irrigation system and its associated components. If corrective maintenance is being done to one component, other components will be inspected to see if maintenance is needed. Good Housekeeping The operational and maintenance needs associated with good housekeeping are: • Keep outdoor areas in a neat and orderly condition. • Pick up garbage left within the pavement and landscape areas. • Periodic sweeping of the paved areas. • Removal of all freshly trimmed landscape items and natural deposited items such as annual leaves and disposal off -site per governing codes. • Apply all fertilizer, herbicide or pesticide in the amount and application as provided by the manufacturer. Aesthetic and Functional Maintenance Both forms of maintenance will be combined into an overall Stormwater Management System Maintenance. Aesthetic Maintenance The following activities will be included in the aesthetic maintenance program: • Keep outdoor areas in a neat and orderly condition. • Pick up garbage left within the pavement and landscape areas. • Periodic sweeping of the paved areas. • Removal of all freshly trimmed landscape items and natural deposited items such as annual leaves and disposal off -site per governing codes. • Weed Control.

Filterra is a specially engineered stormwater treatment system incorporating high performance biofiltration media to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff. The system's biota (vegetation and soil microorganisms) then further breakdown and absorb captured pollutants. All components of the system work together to provide a sustainable long-term solution for treating stormwater runoff. The Filterra system has been delivered to you with protection in place to resist intrusion of construction related sediment which can contaminate the biofiltration media and result in inadequate system performance. These protection devices are intended as a best practice and cannot fully prevent contamination. It is the purchaser's responsibility to provide adequate measures to prevent construction related runoff from entering the Filterra system. Included with your purchase is Activation of the Filterra system by the manufacturer as well as a 1-year warranty from delivery of the system and 1-year of routine maintenance (mulch replacement, debris removal, and pruning of vegetation) up to twice during the first year after activation. Design and Installation Each project presents different scopes for the use of Filterra systems. Information and help may be provided to the design engineer during the planning process. Correct Filterra box sizing (by rainfall region) is essential to predict pollutant removal rates for a given area. The engineer shall submit calculations for approval by the local jurisdiction. The contractor is responsible for the correct installation of Filterra units cis shown in approved plans. A comprehensive installation manual is available at www.ContechES.com. Activation Overview Activation of the Filterra system is a procedure completed by the manufacturer to place the system into working condition. This involves the following items: • Removal of construction runoff protection devices • Planting of the system's vegetation • Placement of pretreatment mulch layer using mulch certified for use in Filterra systems. Activation MUST be provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper site conditions are met for Activation, proper installation of the vegetation, and use of pretreatment mulch certified for use in Filterra systems. Minimum Requirements The minimum requirements for Filterra Activation are as follows: 1 .The site landscaping must be fully stabilized, i.e. full landscaping installed and some grass cover (not just straw and seed) is required to reduce sediment transport. Construction debris and materials should be removed from surrounding area. 2.Final paving must be completed. Final paving ensures that paving materials will not enter and contaminate the Filterra system during the paving process, and that the plant will receive runoff from the drainage area, assisting with plant survival for the Filterra systen 3.Filterra throat opening should be at least 4" in order to ensure adequate capacity for inflow and debris. 4" MIN CLEAR THROAT OPENING CAST -IN -PLACE GUTTER AND THROAT OPENING (BY CONTRACTOR PER LOCAL STANDARDS) THROAT PROTECTION DEVICE DO NOT REMOVE - LEAVE IN PLACE UNTIL SITE IS STABILIZED AND FILTERRA IS ACTIVATED An Activation Checklist is included on page 12 to ensure proper conditions are met for Contech to perform the Activation services. A charge of $500.00 will he invoiced for each Activation visit requested by Customer where Contech determines that the site does not meet the conditions required for Activation. www.ConlechES.com%fillers 1800-338-1 122 5 Filterra Plant Selection Overview A Plant List has been enclosed with this packet highlighting recommended plants for Filterra systems in your area. Keep in mind that plants are subject to availability due to seasonality and required minimum size for the Filterra system. Plants installed in the Filterra system are container plants (max 15 gallon) from nursery stock and will be immature in height and spread at Activation. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide adequate irrigation when necessary to the plant of the Filterra system. The "Planting Requirements for Filterra Systems" document is included as an appendix and discusses proper selection and care of the plants within Filterra systems. Warranty Overview Refer to the Contech Engineered Solutions LLC Stormwater Treatment System LIMITED WARRANTY for further information. The following conditions may void the Filterra system's warranty and waive the manufacturer provided Activation and Maintenance services: • Unauthorized activation or performance of any of the items listed in the activation overview • Any tampering, modifications or damage to the Filterra system or runoff protection devices • Removal of any Filterra system components • Failure to prevent construction related runoff from entering the Filterra system • Failure to properly store and protect any Filterra components (including media and underdrain stone) that may be shipped separately from the vault Routine Maintenance Guidelines With proper routine maintenance, the biofiltration media within the Filterra system should last as long as traditional bioretention media. Routine maintenance is included by the manufacturer on all Filterra systems for the first year after activation. This includes a maximum of 2 visits to remove debris, replace pretreatment mulch, and prune the vegetation. More information is provided in the Operations and Maintenance Guidelines. Some Filterra systems also contain pretreatment or outlet bays. Depending on site pollutant loading, these bays may require periodic removal of debris, however this is not included in the first year of maintenance, and would likely not be required within the first year of operation. These services, as well as routine maintenance outside of the included first year, can be provided by certified maintenance providers listed on the Contech website. Training can also be provided to other stormwoter maintenance or landscape providers. Why Maintain? All stormwater treatment systems require maintenance for effective operation. This necessity is often incorporated in your property's permitting process as a legally binding BMP maintenance agreement. Other reasons to maintain are: • Avoiding legal challenges frorn your jurisdiction's maintenance enforcement program. • Prolonging the expected lifespan of your Filterra media. • Avoiding more costly media replacement. • Helping reduce pollutant loads leaving your property. Simple maintenance of the Filterra is required to continue effective pollutant rernoval from stormwater runoff before discharge into downstream waters. This procedure will also extend the longevity of the living biofilter system. The unit will recycle and accumulate pollutants within the biomass, but is also subjected to other materials entering the inlet. This may include trash, silt and leaves etc. which will be contained above the mulch layer. Too much silt may inhibit the Filterra's flow rate, which is the reason for site stabilization before activation. Regular replacement of the mulch stops accumulation of such sediment. When to Maintain? Contech includes a 1 -year maintenance plan with each system purchase. Annual included maintenance consists of a maximum of two (2) scheduled visits. Additional maintenance may be necessary depending on sediment and trash loading (by Owner or at additional cost). The start of the maintenance plan begins when the system is activated. Maintenance visits are scheduled seasonally; the spring visit aims to clean up after winter loads including salts and sands while the fall visit helps the system by removing excessive leaf litter. It has been found that in regions which receive between 30-50 inches of annual rainfall, (2) two visits are generally required; regions with less rainfall often only require (1) one visit per annum. Varying land uses can affect maintenance frequency; e.g. some fast food restaurants require more frequent trash removal. Contributing drainage areas which are subject to new development wherein the recommended erosion and sediment control measures have not been implemented may require additional maintenance visits. Some sites may be subjected to extreme sediment or trash loads, requiring more frequent maintenance visits. This is the reason for detailed notes of maintenance actions per unit, helping the Supplier and Owner predict future maintenance frequencies, reflecting individual site conditions. Owners must promptly notify the (maintenance) Supplier of any damage to the plant(s), which constitute(s) an integral part of the bioretention technology. Owners should also advise other landscape or maintenance contractors to leave all maintenance to the Supplier (i.e. no pruning or fertilizing) during the first year. Exclusion of Services Clean up due to major contamination such as oils, chemicals, toxic spills, etc. will result in additional costs and are not covered under the Supplier maintenance contract. Should a major contamination event occur the Owner must block off the outlet pipe of the Filterra (where the cleaned runoff drains to, such cis drop inlet) and block off the throat of the Filterra. The Supplier should be informed immediately. aintenance Visit Summary Each maintenance visit consists of the following simple tasks (detailed instructions below). 1. Inspection of Filterra and surrounding area 2. Removal of tree grate and erosion control stones 3. Removal of debris, trash and mulch 4. lulu lc:h replacement 5. Plant health evaluation and pruning or replacement as necessary 6. Clean area around Filterra 7. Complete paperwork aintenance Tools, Safe Equipment and Supplies Ideal tools include: camera, bucket, shovel, broom, pruners, hoe; rake, and tape measure. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be used in accordance with local or company procedures. This may include impervious gloves where the type of trash is unknown, high visibility clothing and barricades when working in close proximity to traffic and also safety hats and shoes. A T-Bar or crowbar should be used for moving the tree grates (up to 170 Ibs ea.). Most visits require minor trash removal and a full replacement of mulch. See below for actual number of bagged mulch that is required in each media bay size. Mulch should be a double shredded, hardwood variety.

Ball and burlapped plants are not permitted. • For precast Filterra systems with a tree grate, plant(s) must not have scaffold limbs at least 14 inches from the crown due to spacing between the top of the mulch and the tree grate. Lower branches can be pruned away provided there ore sufficient scaffold branches for tree or shrub development. CROWN GRAFT • For precast Filterra systems with a tree grate, at the time of installation, it is required �k _ SOIL SURFACE that plants) must be at least 6" above the tree grate opening at installation for all Filterra configurations. This DOES NOT apply to Full Grate Cover designs. • Plant(s) shall not have a mature height greater than 25 feet. • For stondard 21" media depth, a 7 - 15 gallon container size shall be used. Media less than 71" (Filterra boxes only) will require smaller container plants. • For precast Filterra systems, plant(s) should have a single trunk at installation, and pruning may be necessary at activation and maintenance for some of the faster growing species, or species known to produce basal sprouts. Plant Installation • During transport protect the plant leaves from wind and excessive jostling. • Prior to removing the plant(s) from the container, ensure the soil moisture is sufficient to maintain the integrity of the root ball. If needed, pre -wet the container plant. • Cut away any roots which are growing out of the container drain holes. Plants with excessive root growth from the drain holes should be rejected. • Plant(s) should be carefully removed from the pot by gently pounding on the sides of the container with the fist to loosen root ball. Then carefully slide out. Do not lift plant(s) by trunk as this can break roots and cause soil to fall off. Extract the root boll in a horizontal position and support it to prevent it from breaking apart. Alternatively the pot can be cut away to minimize root ball disturbance. • Remove any excess soil from above the root flare after removing plant(s) from container. • Excavate a hole with a diameter 4" greater than the root ball, gently place the plant(s). • If plant(s) have any circling roots from being pot bound, gently tease them loose without breaking them. • If root ball has a root mat on the bottom, it should be shaved off with a knife just above the mat line. • Plant the treelshrub/grass with the top of the root ball 1" above surrounding media to allow for settling. • All plants should have the main stem centered in the tree grate (where applicable) upon completion of installation. • With all trees/shrubs, remove dead, diseased, crossed/rubbing, sharply crotched branches or branches growing excessively long or in wrong direction compared to majority of branches. • To prevent transplant shock (especially if planting takes place in the hot season), it may he necessary to prune some of the foliage to compensate for reduced root uptake capacity. This is accomplished by pruning away some of the smaller secondary branches or a main scaffold branch if there are too many. Too much foliage relative to the root ball can dehydrate and damage the plant. • Plant staking may he required. .-. ,•. 8 .. 13 www.c.ornedttS_comirilierr� � 8UG-33o-: � 12 , Much Installation • Only mulch that has been meeting Contech Engineered Solutions' mulch specifications can be used in the Filterra system. • Mulch must be applied to a depth of 3" evenly over the surface of the media. Irrigation Requirements • Each Filterra system must receive adequate irrigation to ensure survival of the living system during periods of drier weather. • Irrigation sources include rainfall runoff from downspouts and/or gutter flow, applied water through the tree grate or in some cases from an irrigation system with emitters installed during construction. • At Activation: Apply about one (cool climates) to two (warm climates) gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter over the root ball. • During Establishment: In common with all plants, each Filterra plant will require more frequent watering during the establishment period. One inch of applied water per week for the first three months is recommended for cooler climates (2 to 3 inches for worrner climates). If the system is receiving rainfall runoff from the drainage area, then irrigation may not be needed. Inspection of the soil moisture content can be evaluated by gently brushing aside the mulch layer and feeling the soil. Be sure to replace the mulch when the assessment is complete. Irrigate as needed'. • Established plants: Established plants have fully developed root systems and can access the entire water column in the media. Therefore irrigation is less frequent but requires more applied water when performed. For a mature system assume 3.5 inches of available water within the media matrix. Irrigation demand can be estimated as 1" of irrigation demand per week. Therefore if dry periods exceed 3 weeks, irrigation mcy be required. It is also important to recognize that plants which are exposed to windy areas and reflected heat from paved surfaces may need more frequent irrigation. Long term care should develop a history which is more site specific. `* Five gallons per square yard approximates 1 inch of water Therefore for a 6' by 6' Filterra approximately 20-60 gallons of water is needed. To ensure even distribution of water it needs to be evenly sprinkled over the entire surface of the filter bed, with special attention to make sure the root ball is completely wetted. NOTE: if needed, measure the time it takes to fill a five gallon bucket to estimate the applied water flow rate then calculate the time needed to irrigate the Filterra. For example, if the flow rcte of the sprinkler is 5 gallons/minute then it would take 12 minutes to irrigate a 6' by 6' filter. otes PDF 1/18 Bioretention Systems ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 9025 Centre Pointe Drive, Suite 400 West Chester, OH 45069 info(Pconteches.corn I 800-338-1122 www.ContechES,corn 2018 C:ontech Engineered Solutions LLC, a QUIKRETE Compny ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRINTED IN THE USA IN THis cA,,,Loc.; silc.ui.r) BE CONSTRI.IED AS A WARRANTY .APPLICATIONS SUGGESTED HEREIN ARE DESCRIBED ONLY TO HELP READERS WERE THEIR EY•AI.1 EVALUATIONS AND DECRSIOIS, AND ARE NEITHER GUARANTEES 1.10P WARPAI ZEE OF SUITANLITY FOR ANY APPLICEJION.

Unless your site included certain unique and rare features, the operation of your AU' R-Tank System will be driven by naturally occurring systems and will function autonomously. However, upholding a proper schedule of Inspection & Maintenance is critical to ensuring continued functionality and optimum performance of the system. Inspection Both the ACT R-Tank and all stormwater pre-treatment features incorporated into your site must be inspected regularly. Inspection frequency for your system must he determined based on the contributing drainage area, but should never exceed one year between inspections (six months during the first year of operation). Inspections may be required more frequently for pre-treatment systems. You should refer to the manufacturer requirements for the proper inspection schedule. With the right equipment your inspection and measurements can be accomplished from the surface without physically entering any confined spaces. If your inspection does require confined space entry, you MUST 'follow all local/regional requirements as well as OSHA standards. ACF R-Tank Systems may incorporate Inspection Ports, Maintenance Ports, and/or adjoining manholes. Each of these features are easily accessed by removing the lid at the surface. With the cover removed, a visual inspection can be performed to identify sediment deposits within the structure. Using a flashlight, ALL access points should be examined to complete a thorough nspection. Inspection Ports Usually located centrally in the ACF R-Tank System, these perforated colutnns are designed to give the user a base -line sediment depth across the system floor. Maintenance Ports Usually located near the inlet and outlet connections, you'll likely find deeper deposits of heavier sediments when compared to the Inspection Ports. Manholes Most systems will include at least two manholes one at the inlet and another at the outlet. There may be more than one location where stormwater enters the system, which would result in additional manholes to inspect. Bear in mind that these manholes often include a sump below the invert of the pipe connecting to the ACF R-Tank. These sumps are designed to capture sediment before it reaches the ACF R-Tank, and they should be kept clean to ensure they function properly. However, existence of sediment in the sump does NOT necessarily mean sediment has accumulated in the ACF R-Tank. After inspecting the bottom of the structure, use a mirror on a pole (or sornc other device) to check for sediment or debris in the pipe connecting to the ACF R-Tank. ACF R-Tank Operation, Inspection & Maintenance Ifsediment or debris is observed in any of these structures, you should determine the depth of the tnaterial. This is typically accomplished with a stadia rod, but you should determine the best way to obtain the measurement. All observations and measurements should be recorded ort an Inspection Log kept on file. We've included a form you can use at the end of this guideline. Maintenance The ACF R-Tank System should be back -flushed once sediment accumulation has reached 6" or 15% of the total system height. Use the chart below as a guideline to determine the point at which maintenance is required on your system. I- Liih 11trit Mini tleigtif 9.5" x littient Dept 1.5" Single 17" 3" Double 34" 511 Triple 50" 6" Quad 67" 6" Pent 84" 6" Before any maintenance is performed on your system, be sure to plug the outlet pipe to prevent contamination of the adjacent systems. To back -flush the ACF R-Tank, water is pumped into the system through the Maintenance Ports as rapidly as possible. Water should be pumped into ALL Maintenance Ports. The turbulent action of the water moving through the ACF R-Tank will suspend sediments which may then he pumped out. If your system includes an Outlet Structure, this will be the ideal location to pump contaminated water out ofthe system. However, removal of back4lush water may be accomplished through the Maintenance Ports, as well. For systems with large footprints that would require extensive volumes of water to properly flush the system, you should consider performing your maintenance within 24 hours of a rain event. Stormwater entering the system will aid in the suspension of sediments and reduce the volume of water required to properly flush the system. Once removed, sediment -laden water may be captured for disposal or pumped through a DirtbagTM (if permitted by the locality). 2831 Cardwell Road Richmond, VA 23234 800-448-3636 www.acfenv iron mentai.co iti 2 ft0114$1111N, Step -By -Step Inspection & Maintenance Routine 1) Inspection a.

Systems like the TrashGuard (see image 1) are simple and inexpensive, but also highly effective. Therefore, most maintenance efforts should be directed at the pre-treatment structures to ensure they are functioning properly. To monitor the accumulation of fine sediments that may enter the detention/retention area, ACF R-.Fank"D systems should include maintanance ports. Maintenance Running from the bottom of the ACF R-TankH° up to ground level, Maintenance Ports are made from solid PVC Pipe with notches cut into the bottom. As water is pumped into the port the notches will direct water throughout the bottom of the system to create turbulence, thereby re -suspending accumulated sediments. After pumping water into the tanks, flushing is completed by vacuuming sediment laden water out of the system either through the outlet structure or through the flush port. The diameter of the flush port is determined by a. number of factors including the rate at which water will be pumped into the system, the number of flush ports incorporated, and the possible requirement of vacuuming through the port. Experience has shown that a 1.2" port is more than adequate for virtually any required use, with 6" ports more common when vacuuming will be performed at the outlet structure. www.acfenvironmenta Learn 800-448-3636 2831 Cardwell Road Richmond, VA 23234 It; Installing the Maintenance System To install the PCV Pipe, remove the center small plate and cut the top large plate between the remaining interior small plates. Before inserting the port into the Tank, install an anti -scour plate in the bottom of the Tank to prevent disturbance of the base materials. Maintenance ports should be capped at the surface. In landscaped areas, this may be accomplished with a simple pipe cap or plastic valve box (see image 4 lower inset). In paved areas, metal lids are more appropriate (see image 4). Maintenance Intervals Maintenance Schedules for the ACF R-Tank' System are a function of the contributing area and the type of pre-treatment specified. A standard maintenance schedule may include quarterly inspections through thc first year of use, with yearly inspections thereafter. Flushing should be performed if sediment should the lesser of 6" or 15% of the system height. Availability All system components, including caps, lids, anti -scour plates, frames and covers are available from ACF. In fact, we've created Maintenance Port Kids (see image 5) that include everything needed except for the pipe itself Contact your local sales representative or our Sales Office at 800-448-3636 for assistance. 2831 Cardwoll Road Richmond, VA 23234 800-448-3636 wvvw.acfenvironmental.com A Forterra Company A Forterra Company OPERATION & MAINTENANCE CPS devices should be maintained by individuals who are trained in proper disposal procedures, confined space entry and traffic safety regulations. When servicing a Hydra CPS device be sure to follow all safety and traffic control protocols as well as wearing all proper personal protection equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, hard-hat, safety vest and work boots. Visual Inspection 1. Begin by inspecting the inflow of the catch basin where the Hydra CPS device is located. Check for any obstructions to inflow of the CB unit. If any large obstructions are found, have them removed. Once the inflow inspection is completed, remove the man -hole cover for further inspection. (Note: Confined Space Entry Procedures may apply if trained personnel intend to enter the interior space of any Catch Basin. Please follow all applicable confined space entry procedures) 2. Remove the manhole cover and visually estimate the amount and types of debris found in the CB unit. Look for any visual signs of damage that may compromise the CB unit to function properly. Inspect for any standing water in the CB unit as well as for large amounts of sediment and debris surrounding the CPS device. If standing water and high sediment volume is found, remove water, sediment and debris by vacuum truck or by other debris removal methods. 1 Cleaning Procedures and Frequencies I. Like all other storm water BMP's, Hydra CPS devices i equire periodic maintenance. Routine inspection and maintenance intervals for all CPS devices are typically twice per year for inspections and once per year for maintenance service. Hydra CPS devices may require more frequent maintenance service if the device is located in a high debris loading drainage area, such as certain downtown areas, retai|/restaurant, or residential areas where a significant amount of vegetation/foliage is located. In such cages, Hydra CPS devices may require rnore frequent inspection and maintenance service, which could range from twice per year to monthly inspection and maintenance service, depending onpollutant load conditions. 2. To begin Hydra CPS cleaning procedures, condt-irr a vi-sual inspection of the CPS device and the surrounding area to ensure a safe working environment, Setup appropriate barriers and signage as necessary to establish a work zone surrounding the catch basin. Once the work zone has been established, remove the manhole cover from the catch basin. 3. Once -the manhole cover is removed from the basin the Hydra CPS is ready for servicing. All debris can be removed by either a Vacuum truck or manually removing sediment and debris by hand. 4. Hydra CPS devices shall be cleaned using a pressure washer as may be necessary if any materials are found to cause Occlusion or clogging of the screen. Disposal l.All trash and debris removed from the Hydra CPS unit shall bedisposed ofinaccordance with local, state and federal regulation.
