Attachment 5G:
Inspection, Maintenance, Repair, and Retrofit Plan
The inspection and maintenance of permanent BNIP's should be done in conformance with TCEQ
RG -348, Complying nvitb the Edwards Aquifer Ruler Teclinical Guidance on Best Management Pwaices, July
2005.
Generally, little additional maintenance is required once a vegetated filter strip is well established. It
is important, however, to properly care for and maintain the area in the first few months after it is
planted in order to establish a viable vegetated feature. After the vegetated filter strips are well
established, basic maintenance is recommended to maintain the health of the plants, including:
• Pest Management —An Integrated Pest Management JPNt Plan should be developed for
vegetated areas. This plan should specify how problem insects and weeds will be controlled
with minimal or no use of insecticides and herbicides.
• Seasonal [yLorving and Lawn Care — If the filter strip is made up of turf grass, it should be
mowed as needed to limit vegetation height to 18 -inches, using a mulching mower (or
removal of clippings). If native grasses are used, the filter may require less frequent mowing,
but a minimum of twice annually. Grass clippings and brush debris should not be deposited
on vegetated filter strip areas. Weed control practices should also be incorporated into the
regular mowing activities. Use of herbicides should be kept to a minimum. Due to the fact
that runoff typically contains sources of nutrients, healthy grasses may be maintained
without the use of fertilizers. Irrigation may be required to ensure a dense and healthy
vegetative cover.
• Inspection — In the first few years after the establishment of the filter strip, the grass cover
should be inspected frequently. These inspections should identify any existing or emerging
issues with the vegetation growth. If needed, plans should be made for restorative
maintenance. Filter strips shall be inspected at a minimum twice annually, evaluating erosion
or damage to the vegetation. It is recommended that additional inspections be conducted
after periods of heavy runoff, in which the following conditions should be checked:
uniformity of grass cover; debris and litter; and areas of sediment accumulation. If bare
spots and/or erosion areas are identified, replanting and restoration is required to meet
specifications. If deemed necessary, a level spreader device may be required to be
constructed in order to re-establish shallow flow conditions.
• Debtis and Litter Renjoual — It is common for trash to accumulate in vegetated areas. Filter
strip structures should be kept free of obstructions for aesthetic purposes, as well as to
reduce the amount of trash migrating downstream. Debris and litter removal should be
performed at a minimum frequency of four times per year (i.e. quarterly), but may be done
more often as determined through periodic inspections.
• Sediment Removal — Although sediment removal is not normally required for filter strips,
sediment may accumulate along the upstream boundary of the strip preventing uniform
sheet flow. As required, excess sediment should be removed by hand or with a flat-
bottomed shovel.
• Grass Reseeding and tYlrrlcGing — Healthy dense grasses / vegetation shall be maintained on the
filter strips. If areas are found to be eroded, they should be filled, compacted, and reseeded,
thereby establishing a level final grade. If any grass is damaged during the sediment removal
No Text
process, it should promptly be replaced utilizing the same seed mix used during the initial
filter strip establishment. Flow should be diverted from the damaged areas as much as
possible, until the grass is firmly established. Any identified erosion and/or bare spots
during inspections should be replanted and restored to meet specifications. Corrective
maintenance should be done more frequently in the first two to three years after installation
to ensure stabilization; this may include weeding and/or replanting. Dense vegetation may
require irrigation immediately after planting and during dry periods until vegetation is initially
established.
The applicant is responsible for maintaining the permanent BMPs after construction until such time
as the maintenance obligation is either assumed in writing by another entity having ownership or
control of the property (such as without limitation, an owner's association, a new property owner or
lessee, a district, or municipality) or the ownership of the property is transferred to the entity. Such
entity shall then be responsible for maintenance until another entity assumes such obligations in
writing or ownership is transferred. A copy of the transfer of responsibility must be filed with the
executive director at the appropriate regional office within 30 days of the transfer.
