OWNER shall initiate, perform and complete all MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES at the
required time, without request or demand from CITY or any other agency. OWNER
further agrees that "MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES" shall include replacement or
modification of the BMP's in the event of failure. Replacement shall be with an identical
type, size and model of BMP, except that:
(a) The CITY's Engineer may authorize substitution of an alternative BMP if he or she
determines that it will function as well as the failed BMP; and
(b) If the failure of the BMP, in the judgment of the CITY's Engineer indicates that the
BMP in use is inappropriate or inadequate to the circumstances, the BMP must be
modified or replaced with an upgraded BMP to prevent future failure in the same or
similar circumstances.
2. Notices. OWNER further agrees that it shall, prior to transferring ownership of any land
on which any of the above BMP's are located, and also prior to transferring ownership of
any such BMP, provide clear written notice of the above maintenance obligations
associated with that BMP to the transferee. OWNER further agrees to provide evidence
to CITY Engineer that OWNER has requested the California Department of Real Estate to
include in the public report issued for the development of the PROPERTY, a notification
regarding the BMP maintenance requirements described herein.
3. CITY's Right to Perform Maintenance. It is agreed that CITY shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to elect to perform any or all of the MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES if,
in the CITY's sole judgment, OWNER has failed to perform the same. It is recognized
and understood that the CITY makes no representation that it intends.to or will perform
any of the MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, and any election by CITY to perform any of the
MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES shall in no way relieve OWNER of its continuing
maintenance obligations under this agreement. If CITY elects to perform any of the
MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, it is understood that CITY shall be deemed to be acting as
the agent of the OWNER and said work shall be without warranty or representation by
CITY as to safety or effectiveness, shall be deemed to be accepted by OWNER "as is ",
and shall be covered by OWNER's indemnity provisions below.
If CITY performs any of the MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, after CITY has demanded that
OWNER perform the same and OWNER has failed to do so within a reasonable time
stated in the CITY's demand, then OWNER shall pay all of CITY's costs incurred in
2
performing the MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. OWNER's obligation to pay CITY's costs of
performing MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES is a continuing obligation.
4. Grant of Easement to CITY. OWNER hereby grants to CITY a perpetual easement over,
under and across all of the PROPERTY , for purposes of accessing the BMP's and
performing any of the MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES specified in Paragraph 1 above. CITY
shall have the right, at any time and without prior notice to OWNER, to enter upon any
part of said area as may be necessary or convenient for such purposes. OWNER shall
at all times maintain the PROPERTY so as to make CITY's access clear and
unobstructed.
5. Administration of Agreement for CITY. CITY hereby designates its Engineer as the

Up -FIoTM Filter by Hydro International
Hydro International's Up- Flo'"' Filter is the new standard in
slormwater treatment.
Designed to meet the most stringent stormwater regulations by
targeting a wide range of pollutants including fine sediment,
nutrients, bacteria, metals, oils and grease, and organics, the
Up- Flo'" Filter is a high rate, modular system that combines a
patented upward flow path and unique Drain Down design.
The multiple treatment train capabilities of the Up- Flo'"' Filter
- settling, screening and filtration - make it the most effective
and economical stormwaler treatment system available.
BENEFITS OF UP- FLOT" TECHNOLOGY
• Longer filter runs
• I ligher flow capacities
• Resistant to clogging
• 'Self- cleans' during drain -down period
• Media is not submerged between events
• Media does not re- release captured materials
CABILITIES
• Removes trash, sediments, nutrients,
organics, metals and oils
• No pollutant washouts
• Wide range of treatment flows
• Drain down prevents leaching of
captured pollutants
• Modular design allows for easy
retrofit installations
• Small footprint
• Easy maintenance
APPLICATIONS
• New developments and retrofits
• Catch basin or flow - through chambers
• Streets and roadways
• Parking lots
• Vehicle maintenance wash -down yards
• Industrial and commercial facilities
• Wetlands protection
• Utility yards

Operation
INTRODUCTION
The Up- FloT' Filter operates on simple fluid hydraulics. It is self -
activating, has no moving parts, no external power requirements
and is fabricated with durable non - corrosive components. No
measures are required to operate the unit and maintenance is
limited to periodic inspections, sediment and floatables removal,
and media pack replacement.
POLLUTANT CAPTURE
The Up- Flo'- Filter is designed to work as a "treatment train' by
incorporating multiple treatment technologies into a single device.
Trash and gross debris are removed by sedimentation and screening
before they are introduced to the filtration media, preventing the
filter media from clogging. The Up -FloT- Filter is a.wet -sump
device. In between storm events, oil and floatables are stored on
the water surface separate from the sediment storage volume in the
sump (see Figure 1). The high- capacity bypass siphon also acts as a
floatables baffle to prevent washout of captured floatable pollutants
during high - intensity events.
REDUCED CLOGGING
The Up-110T` Filter has been designed to minimize the chance
of clogging and blinding. The Up -Floc- Filter employs a unique
Drain Down design that allows the water level in the chamber
to drop below the filter media between events. The Drain Down
mechanism creates a light backwashing effect that washes captured
Pollutants off the surface of the filter bag, helping to prevent
blinding. By allowing the water to drain out, the drain -down
mechanism also reduces the weight of the filter bags. This makes
the bags easier and safer to remove during maintenance operations.
OVERFLOW PROTECTION
The Angled Screens are designed to minimize the chance of
ragging and blinding. The Angled Screens are situated below the
Filter Modules, sheltering them from the direct path of the influent.
Coarse debris settles into the sump before the runoff flows up
through the screens, protecting them from blinding. In the unlikely
event of a blockage, the high capacity Siphonic Bypass is designed
to pass 7 cfs of excess flow directly to the outlet.
Figure 1: Pollutants captured in the Up- Flo", Filter
Maintenance
OVERVIEW
The Up -FloT- Filter protects the environment by removing a wide
range of pollutants from stormwater runoff. Periodic removal of
these captured pollutants is essential to the proper functioning of
the Up -Flo" Filter.
The Up -Flor- Filter design allows for easy and safe inspection,
monitoring and clean -out procedures. The Up -Floe" Filter has a
wide central clearance for easy and comfortable access to the Up-
Flo'" Filter components (see Figure 2).
Maintenance events can be categorized as Routine or Annual.
Routine maintenance can include inspection, floatables removal
and/or sediment removal. Routine maintenance events do not
require entry into the Up -FIoT- chamber. In the case of inspection
and floatables removal, a vactor truck is not required. However,
a vactor truck is required if the maintenance event is to include
sediment removal from the sump of the Up -FIoT- vessel. Annual
maintenance includes Media Pack replacement in addition to
sediment and floatables removal. In most instances, entry into the
Up -FIoT" vessel is required for Media Pack replacement. There is
the need to follow OSHA Confined Space Entry procedures when
performing annual maintenance.
DETERMINING YOUR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The frequency of maintenance procedures can be determined
in the field after installation. Hydro International, however,
recommends that routine maintenance be completed at least every
six months during the first year of operation. Typically, annual
maintenance is recommended once per year.
During the first year of operation, the unit should be Inspected
every six months to determine the rate of sediment and floatables
accumulation. To prevent from blocking the entryway to the filter
media, the sediment must be removed before it completely fills the
sump. A simple probe, such as the Sludge - Judges can be used to
determine the level of solids in the sediment storage facility. This
information can be recorded in maintenance logs to establish a
routine maintenance schedule. Pollutant storage volume will be
dependent on the sump depth of the Up -Flo'- Filter. A typical 4 -fl
round manhole Up -Floe- Filter has 0.6 yd' of sediment storage.
Routine and Annual maintenance procedures for a typical 4 -ft
diameter manhole UP-Flo'- Filter take less than 30 minutes and
removes about 360 gallons of water in the process. Spent Media
Hags weigh about 40 Ibs. Spent Media Packs should be disposed
of at your local landfill.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
INSPECTION
Inspection is a simple process that does not involve entry into the
Up- FIoT^' chamber. Maintenance crews should be familiar with the
Up-Fla"' Filter and its components prior to inspection.
SCHEDULING
• The first year following installation, it is important to inspect
your Up- FIoT" Filter regularly to determine your site - specific rate
of pollutant accumulation
• Typically, inspection may be conducted during any season
of the year
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
• Safety Equipment and Personal Protective Equipment
(traffic cones, work gloves, etc.)
• Crow bar to remove grate or lid
• Pole with skimmer or net
• Sediment probe (such as a Sludge Judge')
• Hydro International Up- Flor "^ Filter Maintenance Log
• Trash bag for removed floatables
• Up -Flo'" Filter Maintenance Log
INSPECTION PROCEDURES
1. Set up any necessary safety equipment (such as traffic cones)
around the access port or grate of the Up -FIoT- Filter. Safety
equipment should notify passing pedestrian and road traffic that
work is being done.
2. Remove the grate or lid to the manhole or vault.
3. Without entering the vessel, look down into the chamber to
inspect the inside. Make note of any irregularities. See Figure 4

FLOATABLES AND SUMP CLEANOUT
A commercially or municipally owned sump -vac is used to remove
captured sediment and floatables (Figure 5).
Floatables and loose debris can also be netted with a skimmer and
pole. The access port located at the top of the manhole provides
unobstructed access for a vactor hose and skimmer pole to be
lowered to the base of the sump.
SCHEDULING
• Floatables and sump cleanout may typically be done during any
season of the year
• Floatables and sump cleanout should occur as soon as possible
following a spill in the contributing drainage area
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
• Safety Equipment (traffic cones, etc)
• Crow bar to remove grate or lid
• Pole with skimmer or net (if only floatables are being removed)
• Sediment probe (such as a Sludge Judge')
• Vactor truck (flexible hose preferred)
• Hose, pressure washer, or other screen - cleaning device
• Hydro International Up -FIoTm Filter Maintenance Log

FLOATABLES AND SUMP CLEAN OUT PROCEDURES
1. Set up any necessary safety equipment (such as traffic cones)
around the access port or grate of the Up -Flor' Filter. Safety
equipment should notify passing pedestrian and road traffic that
work is being done.
2. Remove the grate or lid to the manhole or vault.
3. Without entering the vessel, look down into the chamber to
inspect the Inside. Make note of any irregularities.
4. Remove floatables stored on the surface of the water with the
vactor hose or the skimmer net.
5. Using a sediment probe such as a Sludge Judge', measure the
depth of sediment that has collected in the sump of the vessel.
6. Once all floatables have been removed, drop the vactor hose to
the base of the sump. Vactor out the sediment and gross debris
off the sump floor.
7. Retract the vactor hose from the vessel.
8. Inspect the Angled Screens for blockages and ragging. If
present, remove any obstructing or ragged materials from the
surface using a hose or other screen - cleaning device.
9. On the Maintenance Log provided by Hydro International,
record the date, unit location, estimated volume of floatables
and gross debris removed, and the depth of sediment measured.
Also note any apparent irregularities such as damaged
components or blockages.
10. Securely replace the grate or lid.
11. Take down safety equipment.
12. Contact Hydro International to discuss any irregularities
noted during cleanout.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
REPLACEMENT OF MEDIA PACKS
Unless the Up ,Hot' Filter has been installed as a very shallow unit,
it is necessary to have an OSHA- trained person enter the vessel to
switch out Media Packs.
SCHEDULING
• Because Media Pack replacement requires entry into the
Up -Flol- chamber, maintenance events should be scheduled
during the dry season
• Media Pack replacement should occur immediately after a spill
in the contributing drainage area
