Element 11: Maintain BMPs (2.1.11) <br />All temporary and permanent Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) BMPs shall be maintained <br />and repaired as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended function. <br />Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP <br />specification (see Volume 11 of the SWMMWW or Chapter 7 of the SWMMEW). <br />Visual monitoring of all BMPs installed at the site will be conducted at least once every calendar <br />week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the <br />site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency may be reduced to <br />once every calendar month. <br />All temporary ESC BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization is <br />achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. <br />Trapped sediment shall be stabilized on -site or removed. Disturbed soil resulting from removal <br />of either BMPs or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized. <br />Additionally, protection must be provided for all BMPs installed for the permanent control of <br />stormwater from sediment and compaction. BMPs that are to remain in place following <br />completion of construction shall be examined and restored to full operating condition. If <br />sediment enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility <br />shall be returned to conditions specified in the construction documents. <br />
