BMP INFORMATION:
This Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual has been prepared for Windward at Legacy
to help the owner operate and maintain the post-construction Best Management Practices
(BMPs). Windward at Legacy will utilize eight (8) new two-foot sumped manholes to handle
water quality.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS:
It is the responsibility of the BMP Owner to operate and maintain the installed BMPs,
including routine monthly and annual inspections. The BMP Owner is responsible for all
costs associated with the BMP inspections and repairs. Maintenance responsibilities shall
remain in effect for the life of the BMP. Inspections must be documented on the inspection
form included in the Appendices.
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.

BMP DESCRIPTION
Sump structures allow solids to settle out of the storm water prior to flowing downstream to
the ditch and then on to the wet ponds (part of the Legacy Master Drainage plan). These
structures serve as pretreatment measures for the downstream wet ponds. In its most basic
application, a sump structure creates a disturbance in the stormwater flow that forces
heavier solids to sink to the bottom of the sump as water passes through the structure.
As with other stormwater quality BMPs, design and maintenance considerations will have a
dramatic impact on the effectives of the sump structure. The frequency of maintenance
required will directly relate to the depth of the sump of the structure (the distance between
the outlet pipe invert and the bottom of the structure).
BMP MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION ACTIVITIES
The BMP owner will perform monthly maintenance for the first year of a new installation
after the site has been stabilized. The following tasks are considered the routine
maintenance:
1. Sediment depth measurement:
Measurements should be taken after each rain event of 0.5 inches or
more, or monthly, as determined by local weather conditions.
Checking sediment depth and noting the surface pollutants in the
structure will be helpful in planning maintenance. The pollutants
collected in sump structures will consist of grit and sediment on the
bottom of the structure.
It is best to schedule maintenance based on the solids collected in the
sump. Optimally, the structure should be cleaned when the sump is
half full (e.g. when 2 feet of material collects in a 4 foot sump, clean it
out).
Structures should also be cleaned if a spill or other incident causes a
larger than normal accumulation of pollutants in a structure.
Maintenance is best done with a vacuum truck.
If oil absorbent hydrophobic booms are being used in the structure to
enhance hydrocarbon capture and removals, they should be checked
on a monthly basis, and serviced or replaced when more than 2/3 of
the boom is submerged, indicating a nearly saturated state.
All collected wastes must be handled and disposed of according to
local environmental requirements.
