Operations & MaintenanceAkreennent This packet contains a template of an Operations & Maintenance Agreement. The template may be used as is or modified, subject to City Engineer approval, to meet the needs of a specific site. The O&M ' Agreement identifies the property as having a stormwater management facility on the property and identifies the owner's name, address, and phone number, the site address, financially responsible party for ongoing operation and maintenance, and parties responsible for inspecting and maintaining the facility. The O&M Agreement does not need to be recorded. The intent of the Agreement is to ensure that the facility will be maintained for functionality, aesthetics, and will identify accountability. The stormwater site plan attached to the Agreement will help identity to the owners and inspectors the location and the functions of the stormwater facilities, and the Facility Specific O&M Plan will identify the routine maintenance procedures and scheduling. Facility Specific Operations & Maintenance Plan W&M Plan) This packet provides Facility Specific Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plans for each type of stormwater quality facility included in the Springfield Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual. Stormwater facilities that are not included in this packet (i.e. a manufactured stormwater treatment technology), are required to submit an O&M Plan that meets the manufacturer's requirements and facility-specific O&M activities consistent with ongoing function of the stormwater facility(ies). The O&M Plan strategies in this packet apply to all stormwater management facilities and related facility components identified in Chapter 3. However, stormwater destination facilities are required to be operated and maintained in working condition for the life of the facility. WQ Facility Submittal Packet '` Page 2 DRAFT EDSP May 2012 O&M PLAN SUBMITTALS Privately Maintained Facilities The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan for a privately maintained facility shall include the following components for each development site.

The plan, approved as part of the development agreement, must show the location of the facility(ies) on the site, the sources of runoff entering the facility, and the ultimate stormwater destination. 4. A landscape Plan (if separate from the stormwater management site plan) shall be attached to the O&M Agreement. The plan, approved as part of the development agreement, must show the location, density, and species by scientific and common name, plant size and quantity. 5. Stormwater Management Facility Inspection and Maintenance Log. Storm ter anagement Date Received WQ Facility Submittal Packet Page 3 ^alfflUll UWRAFTFDSPMay2012 facility inspection and maintenance logs must be kept on file by the facility owner(s). Logs should note all inspection dates, the facility components that were inspected, and any maintenance or repairs made. The facility-specific O&M plans can serve as a checklist for what should be included in the log (e.g. the facility elements that need to be inspected, frequency of inspection, conditions that indicate maintenance is needed, etc.). An example of an Inspection and Maintenance Log is included in this packet. 6. Facility-specific O&M Plans. Facility specific O & M plans provided in this packet identify the specific O&M activities that are required for each of the approved stormwater management facility listed in Springfield Engineering Design Standards and Procedural Manual. The appropriate plan must be attached to the O&M Agreement and submitted as part of the application process. Applicants may either select and use the pre-approved O&M Plans provided in this packet or prepare an O&M Plan that incorporates the specific activities that corresponds with their chosen type of stormwater facilities. The facility-specific O&M plans do not have to be recorded with the County. This allows the future stormwater management facility owner to submit O&M activity revisions to the City without the need to re-record the O&M plan with the County. The facility-specific O&M activities for private facilities may be modified any time after permit issuance. Modifying the O&M activities is optional, and is intended to give the owner an opportunity to adjust maintenance needs according to site-specific history and conditions. Proposed modifications to the O&M Plan must be submitted, along with an up-dated O&M Agreement, to the City for review and approval. Operations & Maintenance Plans for Proprietary Facilities. Proprietary Operations & Maintenance plans for approved proprietary facilities must describe the inspection, cleaning, operation and maintenance criteria for the facility and provide manufacturers recommended maintenance if applicable. O&M ENFORCEMENT Stormwater facilities constructed to comply with the requirements of this Manual shall be properly operated and maintained for the life of the facility. The O&M Agreement must identify the parties responsible for the on-going operations and maintenance of the stormwater treatment facilities. Springfield has the right and responsibility to inspect private facilities to assure they are being operated and maintained in accordance with the approved design,the O&M Agreement, the Facility Specific O&M Plan, and this Manual. In the event that the City finds that one or more of the stormwater facilities on a site do not comply with the terms of the Development Agreement, including the O&M Plan required by this Chapter, a written notice shall be given to the property owner listing the non-compliant aspects of the stormwater facility, including a time line for achieving compliance. In the event that the owner does not bring the stormwater facility into compliance the City may, at its discretion, restore the stormwater facility to compliance and bill the property owner for the cost of the remedial actions required to restore the stormwater facility to an operational condition.

The Swale should drain within 48 hours of a storm event. All facility components, vegetation, and source controls shall be inspected for proper operations and structural stability,at a minimum, quarterly for the first 2 years from the date of installation, 2 times per year thereafter, and within 48 hours after each major storm event. The facility owner must keep a log, recording all inspection dates, observations, and maintenance activities.The following items shall be inspected and maintained as stated: Swale Inlet(such as curb cuts or pipes) shall maintain a calm flow of water entering the Swale. • Source of erosion shall be identified and controlled when native soil is exposed or erosion channels are forming. • Sediment accumulation shall be hand-removed with minimum damage to vegetation using proper erosion control measures. Sediment shall be removed if it is more than 3" thick or so thick as to damage or kill vegetation. • Inlet shall be cleared when conveyance capacity is plugged. Sources of sediment and debris shall be identified and corrected. • Rocks lash pads, spreaders and dissipaters shall be replenished to prevent erosion. Side Slopes shall be maintained to prevent erosion that introduces sediment into the swale. • Slopes shall be stabilized and planted using appropriate erosion control measures when native soil is exposed or erosion channels are forming. Swale Media shall allow stormwater to percolate uniformly through the landscape Swale. If the Swale does not drain within 48 hours, it shall be tilled and replanted according to design specifications. • Swale area shall be protected during construction from compaction. • Annual or semi-annual tilling shall be implemented if compaction or clogging continues. • Debris in quantities that inhibit operation shall be removed routinely(e.g., no less than quarterly), or upon discovery. Swale Outlet shall maintain sheet flow of water exiting Swale unless a collection drain is used. Source of erosion damage shall be identified and controlled when native soil is exposed or erosion channels are fanning. • Outlets such as drains and overland flow paths shall be cleared when 50% of the conveyance capacity is plugged. • Outlet structures shall be cleaned of sediment and debris at least l time per year or when the level is at 50% of the conveyance capacity. • Sources of sediment and debris shall be identified and corrected. Vegetation shall be healthy and dense enough to provide filtering while protecting underlying soils from erosion. Mulch shall be replenished as needed to ensure survival of vegetation. • Vegetation, large shrubs or trees that interfere with landscape swale operation shall be pruned. • Fallen leaves and debris from deciduous plant foliage shall be removed if build up is damaging vegetation. • Grassy Swales shall be mowed to keep grass 4"to 9" in height. Clippings shall be removed when possible, to remove pollutants absorbed in grasses, or when build up is damaging vegetation. • Nuisance and prohibited vegetation (such as blackberries and English Ivy) shall be removed when discovered. Invasive vegetation contributing up to 25% of vegetation of all species shall be removed and replaced. • Dead vegetation and woody material shall be removed to maintain less than 10%of area coverage or when swale function is impaired. Vegetation shall be replaced within 3 months, or immediately if required to maintain cover density and control erosion where soils are exposed. Debris and Litter shall be removed to ensure stormwater conveyance and to prevent clogging of inlet and outlet drains and interference with plant growth. Spill Prevention measures shall be exercised when handling substances that contaminate stormwater. Releases of pollutants shall be corrected as soon as identified. Training and/or writtenguidance'information for operating and maintaining Swales shall be provided to all property owners and tenants. A co-"of the O&M Plan shall be provided to all property owners and tenants. WQ Facility Submittal Packet Page 6 DRAFT I.DSP May 2012 Access to the Swale shall be safe and efficient. Egress and ingress routes shall be maintained to design standards. Roadways shall be maintained to accommodate size and weight of vehicles, if applicable. • Obstacles preventing maintenance personnel and/or equipment access to the Swale shall be removed. • Gravel or ground cover shall be added if erosion occurs, e.g., due to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Insects& Rodents shall not be harbored in the swale. Pest control measures shall be taken when insects/rodents are found to be present. • If a complaint is received or an inspection reveals that a stornnvater facility is significantly infested with mosquitoes or other vectors, the property owner/owners or their designee may be required to eliminate the infestation at the City inspector's discretion. Control of the infestation shall be attempted by using first non-chemical methods and secondly, only those chemical methods specifically approved by the City's inspector. Acceptable methods include but are not limited to the following: i. Installation of predacious bird or bat nesting boxes. ii. Alterations of pond water levels approximately every four days in order to disrupt mosquito larval development cycles. iii. Stocking ponds and other permanent water facilities with fish or other predatory species. iv. If non-chemical methods have proved unsuccessful, contact the City inspector prior to use of chemical methods such as the mosquito larvicides Bacillus thurengensis var. israeliensis or other approved larvacides. These materials may only be used with City inspector approval if evidence can be provided that these materials will not migrate off-site or enter the public stormwater system. Chemical larvicides shall be applied by a licensed individual or contractor. • Holes in the ground located in and around the swale shall be filled. If used at this site, the following will be applicable: Check Dams, flow spreaders and dissipaters shall control and distribute flow. • Causes for altered water flow or short circuits shall be identified, and obstructions cleared upon discovery. • Causes for channelization shall be identified and repaired. • -Systems shall remain free of sediment build up and debris.
