EXHIBIT "B"
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
FACILITIES THIS APPLIES TO
. Vegetated facilities: ecoroofs, infiltration basins, planters, ponds, sand filters,
swales, trees, vegetated filters, and wetlands.
IMPORTANCE TO FACILITY PERFORMANCE
Plants play an important role in stormwater facilities. They absorb water, improve
infiltration rates of soil, prevent erosion by stabilizing soil, cool water, and capture
pollutants, Plants create habitat for birds and other wildlife and provide aesthetic value
to a properly. Proper maintenance of vegetation improves the appearance and
performance of facilities.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
When identifying maintenance needs, it is helpful to have a copy of the landscape plan;
this shows the required plants for the facility. Facilities should be checked for
maintenance needs quarterly for the first 2 years and twice a year after that.
A facility needs maintenance when:
. Areas of soil are bare.
. Vegetationis'buried by sediment.
. Vegetation appears unhealthy or has died.
. Nuisance and invasive plants are present.
. Vegetation is compromising the facility's structure by blocking inlets or
outlets, Or roots are intruding into a component of the facility.
. Dropped leaves and other debris are contributing to sediment accumulation
or are blocking inlets or outlets,
WHAT TO DO
Maintenance activities can easily be incorporated into existing site landscape
maintenance contracts, Vegetation can be maintained witll a formal or more natural'
appearance, depending 0T1 your preference.
General Maintenance
. Reniove dropped leaves, dead plants, and grass and other plant clippings.
Plant debris adds nutrient pollution as it breaks down and can dog facility
piping and reduce infiltration.
. Avoid using fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides in the facility. These
products add to ilie pollution problems the facilities are designed to remedy.

EXHIBIT "J]" CONTINUED
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT (continued)
General Maintenance (continued)
o Use mulch to inhibit weed growth, retain moisture, and add nutrients.
Replenish when needed. Ensure that mulch does not inhibit water flow in the
flow pa tho
o Irrigate all new plantings as needed for the first 2 years.
Caring for Wanted Vegetation
Facility owners are responsible for maintaining healthy vegetation and must
replace any plants that have died or been removed.
.0 You are required to maintain vegetation to the density approved on your
landscape plan or specified in the facility description in Chapter 2.
o Replant with vegetation approved for use in the original planting plan or
from the recommended plant list in Appendix F.4.
o Plant in late fall or early spring so plant roots can establish during the cool,
rainy seasons, before summer.
o Amend, aerate, and! or till compacted soils before replanting by adding
compost to increase nutrients and enhance soil texture.
o If plants are not surviving, determine the reason for the plant die-off.
Survivability may be improved by planting vegetation better suited for the
site conditions or by irrigating more. . You may need to test planting bed soils
for pH, moisture, and other factors such as nutrient levels, soil structure, and
organic matter content.
o Grassy facilities are designed for routine mowing. Mowat least twice a year.
o Grass should be mowed to keep it 4 to 9 inches tall.
o Grass that is at least 4 inches tall captures more pollutants and is hardier.
Grass over 10 inches tall is considered a nuisance by City regulations.
Nuisance and Unwanted Vegetation
o Remove nuisance and invasive vegetation such as Himalayan blackberry,
English ivy, and reed canary grass before it goes to seed in the spring. Do
additional weeding in the fall. A list of nuisance plants can be found in the
Portland Plant List. (See Additional Resources, below.)
o Immediately remove vegetation that is clogging or impeding flow into the
facility.
o Remove potentially large and deep-rdoted trees or bushes when they might
impede the flow path or compromise Ifacility structures.
o Provide erosion control on any dirt exposed by vegetation removal.

EXHIBIT '11" CONTINUED
. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT (continued)
. Wildlife
Vegetated facilities create habitat, especially for birds.. The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act protects all native bird species. Birds and other animals will generally adjust
to human activity. However, there are simple measures that should be taken to
avoid disturbance:
. Wall< the site before you do maintenance. Look for nests, burrows, and
animals in the facility. Reroute around animal areas by at least a few yards.
