Stormwater Planters
Operations and Maintenance Plan
Stormwater Planters are designed to allow runoff to filter through layers of topsoil (thus capturing
pollutants) and then either infiltrate into the native soils (infiltration planter) or be collected in a pipe to be
discharged off-site (flow-through planter). The planter is sized to accept runoff and temporarily store the
water in a reservoir on top of the soil. The flow-through planter is designed with an impervious bottom or
is placed on an impervious surface. Water should drain through the planter within 3-4 hours after a storm
event. All facility components and vegetation shall be inspected for proper operations and structural
stability. These inspections shall occur, 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:
Downspout from rooftop or sheet flow from paving allows unimpeded stormwater flow to the planter.
• Debris shall be removed routinely (e.g., no less than every 6 months) and upon discovery.
• Damaged pipe shall be repaired upon discovery.
Splash Blocks prevent splashing against adjacent structures and convey water without disrupting media.
• Any deficiencies in structure such as cracking, rotting, and failure shall be repaired.
Planter Reservoir receives and detains storm water prior to infiltration. Water should drain from
reservoir within 3-4 hours of storm event.
• Sources of clogging shall be identified and corrected to prevent short circuiting.
• Topsoil may need to be amended with sand or replaced all together to achieve a satisfactory
infiltration rate.
Filter Media consisting of sand, gravel and topsoil shall allow stormwater to percolate uniformly through
the planter. The planter shall be excavated and cleaned, and gravel or soil shall be replaced to correct low
infiltration rates.
• Holes that are not consistent with the design and allow water to flow directly through the planter to
the ground shall be plugged.
• 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 4 inches thick or so thick as to
damage or kill vegetation.
• Litter and debris shall be removed routinely (e.g., no less than quarterly) and upon discovery.
Planter shall contain filter media and vegetation.
• Structural deficiencies in the planter including rot, cracks, and failure shall be repaired.
Overflow Pipe safely conveys flow exceeding reservoir capacity to an approved stormwater receiving
system.
• Overflow pipe shall be cleared of sediment and debris when 50% of the conveyance capacity is
plugged.
• Damaged pipe shall be repaired or replaced upon discovery.
Vegetation shall be healthy and dense enough to provide filtering while protecting underlying soils from
erosion.
• Mulch shall be replenished at least annually.
• Vegetation, large shrubs or trees that limit access or interfere with planter operation shall be pruned or
removed.
• Fallen leaves and debris from deciduous plant foliage shall be raked and removed if build up is
damaging vegetation.
• Nuisance or prohibited vegetation shall be removed when discovered. Invasive vegetation
contributing up to 25% of vegetation of all species shall be removed and replaced.
• Dead vegetation shall be removed to maintain less than 10% of area coverage or when planter
function is impaired. Vegetation shall be replaced within a specific timeframe, e.g., 3 months, or
Appendix 3A-4 Page 14 of 31 EDSP Adopted December 03, 2012
immediately if required to maintain cover density and control erosion where soils are exposed.
Debris and Litter shall be removed to ensure stormwater infiltration and to prevent clogging of overflow
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 written guidance information for operating and maintaining stormwater planters shall
be provided to all property owners and tenants. A copy of the O&M Plan shall be provided to all property
owners and tenants.
Access to the stormwater planter 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 stormwater planter shall
be removed.
• Gravel or ground cover shall be added if erosion occurs, e.g., due to vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
Insects and Rodents shall not be harbored in the stormwater planter. 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 stormwater 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 larvicides. 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 stormwater planter shall be filled and compacted.
Appendix 3A-4 Page 26 of 31 EDSP Adopted December 03, 2012
Underground Detention Tanks, Vaults and Pipes
Operations and Maintenance Plan
Underground Detention Tanks, Vaults, and Pipes are designed to fill with stormwater during large
storm events, slowly releasing it over a number of hours. There are numerous components to each
system. Drain Inlet Pipes convey stormwater into the detention facility. The Detention Chamber is the
structure in which stormwater accumulates during a storm event. Orifice Structure/ Outlet Drain Pipe
restricts the flow out of the detention chamber, allowing it to fill up and slowly drain out. The orifice
structure is located at the downstream end of the detention chamber. Underground facilities shall be
inspected quarterly 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:
Proprietary Structures such as oil-water separators, sedimentation manholes, grit chambers, etc. are
required to have an O&M plan submitted with material from the manufacturer for that specific product for
the O&M Agreement.
• If such material is not available or satisfactory for maintenance needs, city staff will assist
developer/property owner in preparing the O&M plan.
Drain Inlet Pipes shall be inspected for clogging or leaks where it enters the vault or basin during every
inspection and cleanout.
• Debris/sediment that is found to clog the inlet shall be removed, and disposed of in accordance with
applicable federal and state requirements.
Detention Chamber shall be inspected for cracks or damage during each inspection.
• The detention chamber shall be cleaned out yearly or after an inch of sediment has accumulated. If
there is a valve on the outlet pipe it shall be closed otherwise the outlet shall be plugged prior to
cleanout. Grit and sediment that has settled to the bottom of the chamber shall be removed during
each cleaning.
• Water and sediment in the detention chamber shall be removed, and disposed of in accordance with
regulations.
• Cleaning shall be done without use of detergents or surfactants. A pressure washer may be used if
necessary.
Orifice Structure/ Outlet Drain Pipe shall be inspected for clogging during unit inspections/cleanouts.
• Debris/sediment that is found to clog the inlet shall be removed, and disposed of in accordance with
applicable federal and state requirements.
Vegetation such as trees should not be located in or around the detention facility because roots from trees
can penetrate the unit body, and leaves from deciduous trees and shrubs can increase the risk of clogging
the intake pipe.
• Large shrubs or trees that are likely to interfere with detention facility operation shall be identified at
each inspection then removed.
Source Control measures typically include structural and non-structural controls. Non-structural controls
can include street sweeping and other good housekeeping practices. It is often easier to prevent pollutants
from entering stormwater than to remove them.
• Source control measures shall be inspected and maintained (where applicable).
Spill Prevention procedures require high-risk site users to reduce the risk of spills. However, virtually
all sites, including residential and commercial, present dangers from spills. Homes contain a wide variety
of toxic materials including gasoline for lawn mowers, antifreeze for cars, pesticides, and cleaning aids
that can adversely affect storm water if spilled. It is important for everyone to exercise caution when
handling substances that can contaminate stormwater. Spill prevention procedures shall be implemented
in areas where there is likelihood of spills from hazardous materials.
Training and/or written guidance information for operating and maintaining detention facilities shall
be provided to all property owners and tenants. A copy of the O&M Plan shall be provided to all property
Appendix 3A-4 Page 27 of 31 EDSP Adopted December 03, 2012
owners and tenants.
Access to the detention facility is required for efficient maintenance. Egress and ingress routes shall be
open and maintained to design standards.
Signage may serve to educate people about the importance or function of the site's stormwater protection
measures. Signs may also discourage behavior that adversely impacts the stormwater protection measures
and encourages behavior that enhances or preserves stormwater quality. If debris is a problem, a sign
reminding people not to litter may partially solve the problem. Signage (where applicable) will be
maintained and repaired as needed during or shortly after inspections.
Insects and Rodents shall not be harbored in the detention facility. 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 stormwater facility is significantly infested
with mosquitoes or other vectors, the property owner/owners or their designee may be required to
