• Educate property owners/residents to be aware of how their actions affect water quality, and how they can help reduce maintenance costs. • Keep properties, streets and gutters, and parking lots free of trash, debris, and lawn clippings. • Ensure the proper disposal of hazardous wastes and chemicals. • Plan lawn care to minimize the use of chemicals and pesticides. • Sweep paved surfaces and put the sweepings back on the lawn. • Be aware of automobiles leaking fluids. Use absorbents such as cat litter to soak up drippings—dispose of properly. • Re-vegetate disturbed and bare areas to maintain vegetative stabilization. • Clean out the upstream components of the storm drainage system, including inlets, storm sewers and outfalls. • Do not store materials outdoors (including landscaping materials) unless properly protected from runoff. IV. Maintenance and Operation Plan The City of Everett requires the owner or operator of the project drainage facility to maintain the facility in accordance with the City Maintenance Checklists. The following pages contain maintenance needs for components included in the project that are part of a drainage system. Those components must be contained within the project's Maintenance Plan. The property owner shall plan to complete a checklist for all system components on the following schedule: (M) Monthly from October through April. (A) Once in late summer(preferably September). (S)After any major storm (use 1 inch in 24 hours as a guideline). Photocopies of these pages shall be used and checked off for the problems looked for each time an inspection is completed. Comments on problems found and actions taken shall be noted. Some items do not need to be looked at every time an inspection is done. The suggested frequency at the left of each item shall be used as a guideline for inspections. The "checked"sheets shall be kept by the property owner and made available to the City upon request. The facility-specific maintenance standards contained here are intended to be conditions for determining if maintenance actions are required as identified through inspection. They are not intended to be measures of the facility's required condition at all times between inspections. In other words, exceedance of these conditions at any time between inspections and/or maintenance does not automatically constitute a violation of these standards. However, based upon inspection observations, the inspection and maintenance schedules shall be adjusted to minimize the length of time that a facility is in a condition that requires a maintenance action.
