II. Site Information
The 12955 Old Meridian Remodel project is located south of Main Street on Old Meridian St in the
City of Carmel, Hamilton County. This project is part of a strip mall of retail stores. Site location and
vicinity maps are included in Appendix A for reference.
III. Stormwater Infrastructure Inventory
The storm sewer system for the site consists of existing inlets, manholes, and underground storm
sewer pipes, and detention basin. One new Aquaswirl AS-4 unit (BMP) will be installed on the site.
The existing detention basin acts as the second BMP unit required by Carmel. Maintenance
documents for all the new infrastructure added with this project is included in this document. The
existing storm water inlets and pipes convey stormwater runoff south through the site to the existing
detention basin.
An overall site plan showing the locations of the stormwater infrastructure associated with this
project is included in Appendix B.
Stormwater detention for the project is provided by the existing detention basin already installed
Stormwater Quality for the project is provided by a new Aquaswirl AS-4 unit located on the east side
of the new building addition on the existing storm pipes north of the detention basin. The detention
basin is the second stormwater quality measure.
IV. Routine Maintenance of Storm Infrastructure
Inlets
Periodically inspect stormwater inlets and end sections and cleanout trash or debris as required to
allow free flow of stormwater into the structures.
Pipes
Periodically inspect pipes for sediment. Remove sediment from pipes when sediment depth is ¼ of
the pipe diameter or 6” maximum.
BMP
A BMP is an acronym for Best Management Practices which is a measure that is designed for the
benefit of water quality. A BMP filters and removes sediment and fuel and oil from stormwater run-
off before the water discharges from the site. The trapped items are stored in the BMP and must be
removed via regular maintenance and properly disposed of.
The Aquaswirl AS-4 unit provides stormwater quality for this project and the detail, Operation and
Maintenance information, and inspection instructions are included in Appendix C
Existing Detention Basin
The dry detention basin is existing on the site. Maintenance for the basin is per the Operation and
Maintenance Manual that was compiled when the basin was constructed and approved by the City
at that time.
Annual Reporting Requirements
The City of Carmel requires annual reporting of the BMP inspection reports to the Engineering
Department. The first report is due one year after construction is completed, with subsequent
reports due each year within the same month of the initial report. If there are any deficiencies found
during the inspection, these should be addressed. If the inspection report is not received within the
month it is due, if there are deficiencies which were not included in the report, or if any deficiencies
included in the report are not addressed in a timely manner, the BMP owner faces enforcement
action from the City.
V. BMP Owner Acknowledgement Agreement

AquaShield™ Product
System Maintenance
The long-term performance of the stormwater
treatment structures (including
manufactured systems, ponds,
swales, etc.), and the effective
protection of receiving waters,
depends on a consistent
maintenance plan. Inspection
and maintenance functions
are simple and easy for the
AquaShield™ Stormwater
Treatment Systems allowing
all inspections to be
performed from the surface.
An AquaShield™ field
representative will be available as
needed to assist local maintenance
personnel in the field. Please contact us for a
copy of a product-specific “Inspection and Maintenance Manual”.
It is important that a routine inspection and maintenance program be established
for each unit based on (1) the volume or load of the contaminants of concern,
(2) the frequency of releases of contaminants at the facility or location, and (3)
the nature of the area being drained.
In order to ensure that our
systems are being maintained
properly, AquaShield™ offers
a maintenance solution to
all of our customers. We
will arrange to have
maintenance performed.

Sediment inspection
using a stadia rod
Inspection
All AquaShield™ products can be inspected from the surface, eliminating the
need to enter the systems to determine when cleanout should be performed.
In most cases, AquaShield™ recommends a quarterly inspection of the
Stormwater Treatment Systems for the first year of operation to develop an
appropriate schedule of maintenance.
Based on experience of the system’s first year in operation, we recommend that
the inspection schedule be revised to reflect the site-specific conditions
encountered. Typically, the inspection schedule for subsequent years is reduced
to semi-annual inspection.
Aqua-Swirl™ Maintenance
The Aqua-Swirl™ has been designed to minimize and simplify the inspection and
maintenance process. The system can be inspected and maintained completely
from the surface, thereby eliminating the need for confined space entry.
Furthermore, the entire structure (specifically, the floor) is accessible for visual
inspection from the surface. There are no areas of the structure that are blocked
from visual inspection or periodic cleaning.
Inspection of any free-floating oil and floatable debris can be directly observed
and maintained through the manhole access provided directly over the swirl
chamber.
Aqua-Swirl™ Inspection Procedure
To inspect the Aqua-Swirl™, a hook is needed to remove
the manhole cover. AquaShield™ provides a customized
manhole cover with our logo to make it easy for
maintenance crews to locate the system in the field. We
also provide a permanent metal information plate attached
inside the access riser, which provides our contact
information, the Aqua-Swirl™ model size, and serial
number.

Vacuum truck cleans the
Aqua-Swirl™
The only tools needed to inspect the Aqua-Swirl™ system are a flashlight and a
measuring device such as a stadia rod or pole. Given the tremendous
accessibility provided, floating oil and debris can be observed directly from the
surface. Sediment depths can easily be determined
by lowering a measuring device to the top of the
sediment pile and to the surface of the water.
When the sediment pile is within 30 to 36 inches of
the water surface, the system should be
maintained.
It should be noted that in order to avoid
underestimating the volume of sediment in the
chamber, the measuring device must be carefully
lowered to the top of the sediment pile. The finer
sediment at the top of the pile, typically offers less
resistance to the measuring device than the larger
particles.
Aqua-Swirl™ Cleanout Procedure
Clean out of the Aqua-Swirl™ is simple. Free-floating oil
and floatable debris can be observed and removed directly
through the 30-inch service access provided.
A vacuum truck can be used to remove the accumulated
sediment and debris. It is important to note that the entire
sediment storage area can be reached with a vacuum hose
from the surface (reaching all the sides).
Disposal of the material is typically treated in the same
fashion as catch basin cleanouts. AquaShield™
recommends that all materials removed be handled and
disposed of in accordance with local and state requirements.
An “Inspection and Maintenance Manual” is provided with each Aqua-Swirl™
system for more detailed maintenance procedures. On the following page, you
will find sample Inspection Data Sheets.

Aqua-Filter™ Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the Aqua-Filter™ system is needed for the unit to operate
efficiently. Typically, inspection of the Aqua-Swirl™ pretreatment chamber and
the filtration chamber should be performed on a quarterly basis. Information
gathered during the first year of service can be used to create a maintenance
plan appropriate for the site.
Aqua-Swirl™ Pretreatment Chamber
The Aqua-Swirl™ is easily
inspected from the surface.
Floating debris and free oil can
be observed along with the
captured stormwater by
removing the manhole cover.
Sediment depth is determined by
lowering a measuring device
(e.g. stadia rod) to the top of the
sediment pile.
When the sediment pile is within
30 to 36 inches from the water
surface, cleaning is required.
Typically, a vacuum truck is used
to first remove the captured
floating materials from the water’s surface before lowering the vac-hose into the
accumulated sediment pile for its removal.
For more detail regarding the inspection and maintenance of the pretreatment
chamber, please see the previous Section on the Aqua-Swirl™ Inspection and
Maintenance.
Aqua-Filter™ Filtration Chamber
The filter media is also easily observed from the surface. Manhole covers are
spaced over the entire filtration bed to provide easy access. AquaShield™
provides a customized manhole cover with our logo to make it easy for
maintenance crews to locate the system in the field.
System Maintenance

A permanent ladder provides access to filter chamber
Grate panels cover the filter media
Initially, the filter media is light tan or white in color. When the media color turns
black, it has become saturated due to pollutant loading and requires
replacement. Call toll free (888) 344-9044 to order replacement filters.
An entry riser provides direct access
into the filtration chamber with a
permanent ladder welded into the
downstream section of the chamber.
This additional access allows for the
vacuuming of any standing water and
an unobstructed walkway to the
downstream side of the filter bed.
Replacement of the filtration media
typically requires entry into the
filtration chamber by one of a two-
member maintenance crew. Confined
space entry precautions should be
taken by the maintenance crew when
removing and replacing the filters.
The spent filter containers are normally retrieved from the filter chamber by a
second crewmember at the surface through the multiple 30-inch risers spaced
across the top of the filter bed. In addition, the filter containers can be accessed
directly from within the filtration chamber via a vertical removable panel at the
rear of the filter bed.
The center row of the filtration bed has been
fitted with one inch thick removable fiberglass
grate panels. This allows for a six-foot tall
walkway down the center of the chamber,
providing easy access to the full length of the
filtration chamber.
Rows of removable side grates are positioned
on both sides of the center row. After the
center grate panel has been removed, the
filter media can be lifted from these side grate
panels.
After the removable sides have been loaded
with replacement filter containers, the
removable center grates are repositioned and
locked in place. New filters are installed in a
criss-cross manner to prevent short-circuiting.
System Maintenance

Spent filter media can be recycled or sent to a landfill
Filter Media Disposal
The filter media does not allow captured contaminants to be released once
absorbed into the material. This is a unique quality of the Aqua-Filter™, allowing
superior performance under extreme conditions.
The spent filters and
sediment generally do not
require any special
treatment or handling for
disposal. The filtration
media can be recycled as
fuel material, or sent to a
subtitle D landfill.
AquaShield™ recommends
that all materials removed
during the maintenance
process be handled and
disposed of in accordance
with local and state
requirements.
An “Inspection and Maintenance Manual” is provided with each Aqua-Filter™
system for more detailed maintenance procedures. On the following page, you
will find a sample Inspection Data Sheet.

Catch Basin Insert
Aqua-Guardian TM Maintenance
A routine inspection and maintenance program should be established by the
customer for each Aqua-Guardian™ unit based on the volume or load of the
contaminants of concern, the frequency of releases of contaminants at the
facility or location, and the nature of the area being drained. Typically, the Aqua-
Guardian™ should be inspected monthly and after significant storm events.
The Aqua-Guardian™ insert can be visually
inspected from the surface without the
need to remove the catch basin grate.
Simply use a tape measure to gauge the
amount of sediment in the collection area.
When sediment level reaches the bottom of
the perimeter “filter screen outlets”, the
unit should be serviced.
Servicing the Aqua-Guardian™ is simple.
First, remove the grate covering the catch
basin. Then with a wet/dry shop-vac,
remove the sediment and debris
accumulated inside the chamber.
The locking centerpiece assembly is
removed by rotating the assembly with the
“T” handle on top of the filter screen
standpipe. Once the centerpiece assembly
is removed, the filter bag will be visible so
that it can be pulled from the Aqua-
Guardian™. Clean out any residual
sediment in the filter area and place a new
filter bag in the unit. Press down on all
sides of the newly installed filter to ensure
good contact with the outside walls.
The centerpiece assembly is replaced and rotated (or locked) under the fitted
guides. The final maintenance step is to replace the surface grate cover to its
normal position.
