I <br /> . <br /> • <br /> I <br /> Maintenance. Control structures and catch basins have a history of <br /> maintenance-related problems and it is imperative that a good <br /> maintenance program be established for their proper functioning. A <br /> typical problem is that sediment builds up inside the structure which <br /> blocks or restricts flow to the inlet. To prevent this.probleln these <br /> structures should be routinely cleaned out at Ieast twice per year. Regular <br /> inspections of control structures should be conducted to detect the need for . <br /> non-routine cleanout,especially if construction or land-disturbing <br /> activities are occurring in the contributing drainage area. <br /> I • <br /> A 15-foot wide access road to the control structure should be installed for <br /> • <br /> inspection and maintenance. <br /> ITable 3.5 provides maintenance recommendations for control structures <br /> and catch basins. <br /> I <br /> Table 3.5 <br /> Maintenance of Control Structures and Catchbasins • <br /> Maintenance Results Expected When <br /> I Component Defect Condition When Maintenance is Needed Maintenance is Performed • <br /> General mash and Material exceeds 25%of sump depth or 1 foot Control structure orifice is not <br /> • <br /> Debris below orifice plate. blocked.
