Maintenance Standards <br /> • Monitor the spray field on a daily basis to ensure that over saturation of any portion of the field <br /> doesn't occur at any time.The presence of standing puddles of water or creation of con- <br /> centrated flows visually signify that over saturation of the field has occurred. <br /> . Monitor the vegetated spray field all the way down to the nearest surface water,or farthest <br /> spray area,to ensure that the water has not caused overland or concentrated flows,and has <br /> not created erosion around the spray nozzle(s). <br /> . Do not exceed water quality standards for turbidity. <br /> • Ecology recommends that a separate inspection log be developed, maintained and kept with <br /> the existing site logbook to aid the operator conducting inspections.This separate"Field Filtra- <br /> tion Logbook"can also aid in demonstrating compliance with permit conditions. <br /> . Inspect the spray nozzles daily,at a minimum,for leaks and plugging from sediment particles. <br /> . If erosion,concentrated flows,or over saturation of the field occurs, rotate the use of branches <br /> or spray heads or move the branches to a new field location. <br /> . Check all branches and the manifold for unintended leaks. <br /> BMP C240: Sediment Trap <br /> Purpose <br /> A sediment trap is a small temporary ponding area with a gravel outlet used to collect and store sed- <br /> iment from sites during construction.Sediment traps,along with other perimeter controls,shall be <br /> installed before any land disturbance takes place in the drainage area. <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> . Sediment traps are intended for use on sites where the tributary drainage area is less than 3 <br /> acres,with no unusual drainage features,and a projected build-out time of six months or less. <br /> The sediment trap is a temporary measure(with a design life of approximately 6 months)and <br /> shall be maintained until the tributary area is permanently protected against erosion by veget- <br /> ation and/or structures. <br /> • Sediment traps are only effective in removing sediment down to about the medium silt size <br /> fraction. Runoff with sediment of finer grades(fine silt and clay)will pass through untreated, <br /> emphasizing the need to control erosion to the maximum extent first. <br /> • Projects that are constructing permanent Flow Control BMPs,or Runoff Treatment BMPs <br /> that use ponding for treatment, may use the rough-graded or final-graded permanent BMP <br /> footprint for the temporary sediment trap.When permanent BMP footprints are used as tem- <br /> porary sediment traps,the surface area requirement of the sediment trap must be met. If the <br /> surface area requirement of the sediment trap is larger than the surface area of the per- <br /> manent BMP,then the sediment trap shall be enlarged beyond the permanent BMP footprint <br /> to comply with the surface area requirement. <br /> 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume ll-Chapter 3-Page 383 <br />
