Stormwater- <br />See Section 3.4 in Volume III of this manual for more specific guidance <br />related Design <br />regarding required field testing, assignment of infiltration rate correction <br />Procedures <br />factors, project submission requirements, and modeling. <br />Runoff Model <br />See Appendix III-C for runoff modeling guidance under WWHM3 and <br />Representation <br />under WWHM 2012. <br />Maintenance Please see table 22 within Table 4.5.2 in Chapter 4 of this Volume. <br />Maintenance recommendations for all facilities: <br />• Erosion and introduction of sediment from surrounding land uses <br />should be strictly controlled after construction by amending exposed <br />soil with compost and mulch, planting exposed areas as soon as <br />possible, and armoring outfall areas. <br />• Surrounding landscaped areas should be inspected regularly and <br />possible sediment sources controlled immediately. <br />• Installations can be monitored for adequate or designed minimum <br />infiltration rates by observing drainage immediately after heavier <br />rainstorms for standing water or infiltration tests using ASTM C1701. <br />• Clean permeable pavement surfaces to maintain infiltration capacity at <br />least once or twice annually following recommendations below. <br />• Utility cuts should be backfilled with the same aggregate base used <br />under the permeable paving to allow continued conveyance of <br />stormwater through the base, and to prevent migration of fines from <br />the standard base aggregate to the more open graded permeable base <br />material (Diniz, 1980). <br />• Ice build up on penneable pavement is reduced and the surface <br />becomes free and clear more rapidly compared to conventional <br />pavement. For western Washington, deicing and sand application may <br />be reduced or eliminated and the permeable pavement installation <br />should be assessed during winter months and the winter traction <br />program developed from those observations. Vacuum and sweeping <br />frequency will likely be required more often if sand is applied. <br />Porous asphalt and pervious concrete <br />• Clean surfaces using suction, sweeping with suction or high-pressure <br />wash and suction (sweeping alone is minimally effective). Hand held <br />pressure washers are effective for cleaning void spaces and appropriate <br />for smaller areas such as sidewalks. <br />• Small utility cuts can be repaired with conventional asphalt or concrete <br />if small batches of permeable material are not available or are too <br />expensive. <br />Volume V — Runoff Treatment BMPs — December 2014 <br />5-25 <br />
