1 <br /> intercepting surface drainage to retain their diversion shape and capability. <br /> I . Use temporary erosion and sediment control measures or re-vegetate as necessary to pre- <br /> vent erosion during ditch reshaping. <br /> . Do not leave ditch cleanings on the roadway surfaces.Sweep, collect, and dispose of dirt and <br /> I debris remaining on the pavement at the completion of ditch cleaning operations as described <br /> below: <br /> Consider screening roadside ditch cleanings, not contaminated by spills or other <br /> releases and not associated with a stormwater treatment system such as a bioswale,to <br /> remove litter.Separate screenings into soil and vegetative matter(leaves,grass, <br /> I needles, branches,etc.)categories.Compost or dispose of the vegetative matter in a <br /> municipal waste landfill. Consult with the jurisdictional health department to discuss use <br /> or disposal options for the soil portion. For more information,see Appendix IV-B: Man- <br /> 111 agement of Street Waste Solids and Liquids. <br /> Roadside ditch cleanings contaminated by spills or other releases known or suspected <br /> to contain dangerous waste must be handled following the Dangerous Waste Regu- <br /> lations(Chapter 173 303 WAC). If testing determines materials are not dangerous <br /> waste but contaminants are present, consult with the jurisdictional health department <br /> I for disposal options. <br /> . Examine culverts on a regular basis for scour or sedimentation at the inlet and outlet,and <br /> repair as necessary. Give priority to those culverts conveying perennial and/or salmon-bear- <br /> I ing streams and culverts near streams in areas of high sediment load,such as those near sub- <br /> divisions during construction. Maintain trash racks to avoid damage, blockage,or erosion of <br /> culverts. <br /> Recommended Treatment BMPs: <br /> Install biofiltration swales and filter strips(see V-7 Biofiltration BMPs)to treat roadside runoff <br /> wherever practicable and use engineered topsoils wherever necessary to maintain adequate veget- <br /> ation.These systems can improve infiltration and stormwater pollutant control upstream of roadside <br /> Iditches. <br /> S417 BMPs for Maintenance of Stormwater <br /> I Drainage and Treatment Systems <br /> I Description of Pollutant Sources: Facilities include roadside catch basins on arterials and within <br /> residential areas, conveyance systems,detention facilities such asponds and vaults,oil/water sep- <br /> arators, P <br /> arators, biofilters, settling basins, infiltration systems,and all other types of stormwater treatment sys- <br /> tems presented in Volume V. Oil and grease, hydrocarbons,debris, heavy metals,sediments and <br /> contaminated water are found in catch basins,oil and water separators, settling basins,etc. <br /> Pollutant Control Approach: Provide maintenance and cleaning of debris, sediments,and other <br /> Ipollutants from stormwater collection,conveyance,and treatment systems to maintain proper oper- <br /> ation. <br /> I <br /> I 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume IV-Chapter 3-Page 516 <br />
