I <br /> I <br /> Maintenance. Control structures and catch basins have a history of <br /> Imaintenance-related problems and it is imperative to establish a good <br /> maintenance program for them to function properly. Typical sediment <br /> builds up inside the structure,which blocks or restricts flow to the inlet. <br /> I To prevent this problem routinely clean out these structures at least twice <br /> per year. Conduct regular inspections of control structures to detect the <br /> need for non-routine cleanout, especially if construction or land-disturbing <br /> Iactivities occurr in the contributing drainage area. <br /> Instal a 15-foot wide access road to the control structure for inspection and <br /> I maintenance. <br /> Table 3.2.5 provides maintenance recommendations for control structures <br /> and catch basins. <br /> ITable 3.2.5 <br /> Maintenance of Control Structures and Catchbasins <br /> I Maintenance Results Expected When <br /> Component Defect Condition When Maintenance is Needed Maintenance is Performed <br /> General Trash and Material exceeds 25%of sump depth or 1 foot Control structure orifice is not <br /> I <br /> Debris below orifice plate. blocked.All trash and debris <br /> (Includes removed. <br /> Sediment) • <br /> Structural Structure is not securely attached to manhole Structure securely attached to wall <br /> I Damage wall. and outlet pipe. <br /> Structure is not in upright position(allow up to Structure in correct position. <br /> 10%from plumb). <br /> I Connections to outlet pipe are not watertight and Connections to outlet pipe are water <br /> show signs of rust. tight;structure repaired or replaced <br /> and works as designed. <br /> I Any holes--other than designed holes--in the structure.
