VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
FACILITIES THIS AP~LIES 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
infiItration 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 property. 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.
. Vegetation is 'buried by sediment.
. Vegetation appears unhealthy ,or has died.
. Nuisance and invasive plants are present.
. V egeta lion 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 on your preference.
General Maintenance
. Remove dropped leaves, dead plants, and grass and other plant clippings.
Plant debris adds nutrient pollution as it breaks down and can clog facility
piping and reduce infiltration.
. Avoid using fertiIizers, herbicides, or pesticides in the facility. These
products add to the pollution problems the facilities are designed to remedy.

CONTINUED
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT (continued)
General Maintenance (continued)
o Use mulch to inhibit weed growth, retain moisture, and add nutrients.
Replenish when needed. Ensure that mu1ch does not inhibit water flow in the
flow path.
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.
.' You are required to maintain vegetation to the density approved on your
landscape plan or specified in the facility description in Chapter 2.
. Replant with vegetation approved for use in the original planting plan or
from the recommended plant list in Appendix F.4.
. 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.
. Grass shou1d be mowed to keep it 4 to 9 inches tall.
. 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
. Remove nuisance and invasive vegetation such as Himalayan blackberry,
English ivy, and reed canarygrass before it goes to seed in fue spring. Do
additional weeding in fue fall. A list of nuisance plants can be found in fue
Portland Plant List. (See Additional Resources, below.)
o Immediately remove vegetation that is clogging or impeding flow into fue
facility.
. Remove potentially large and deep-rooted trees or bushes when fuey might
impede the flow path or compromise facility structures.
. Provide erosion control on any dirt exposed by vegetation removal.

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 t~
avoid disturbance:
. Walk 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.
