(AquaShield™) is to protect waterways by providing stormwater treatment solutions to businesses across the world. These solutions have a reliable foundation based on over 20 years of water treatment experience. Local regulators, engineers, and contractors have praised the AquaShield™ systems for their simple design and ease of installation. All the systems are fabricated from high performance, durable and lightweight materials. Contractors prefer the quick and simple installation of our structures that saves them money. The patented line of AquaShield™ stormwater treatment products that provide high levels of stormwater treatment include the following:  Aqua-Swirl® Stormwater Treatment System: hydrodynamic separator, which provides a highly effective means for the removal of sediment, floating debris and free- oil.  Aqua-FilterTM Stormwater Filtration System: treatment train stormwater filtration system capable of removing gross contaminants, fine sediments, waterborne hydrocarbons, heavy metals and total phosphorous. Aqua-Swirl® Stormwater Treatment System Aqua-Filter™ Stormwater Filtration System Page 4 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. Aqua-Swirl® Stormwater Treatment System The patented Aqua-Swirl® Stormwater Treatment System is a single chamber hydrodynamic separator which provides a highly effective means for the removal of sediment, free oil, and floating debris. Both treatment and storage are accomplished in the swirl chamber without the use of multiple or “blind” chambers. Independent laboratory and field performance verifications have shown that the Aqua-Swirl® achieves over 80% suspended solids removal efficiency on a net annual basis. The Aqua-Swirl® is most commonly installed in an “off-line” configuration. Or, depending on local regulations, an “in-line” (on-line) conveyance flow diversion (CFD) system can be used. The CFD model allows simple installation by connecting directly to the existing storm conveyance pipe thereby providing full treatment of the “first flush,” while the peak design storm is diverted and channeled through the main conveyance pipe. The patented Aqua-Swirl® Stormwater Treatment System provides a highly effective means for the removal of sediment, floating debris, and free oil. Swirl technology, or vortex separation, is a proven form of treatment utilized in the stormwater industry to accelerate gravitational separation. Page 5 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. Floatable debris in the Aqua-Swirl® Each Aqua-Swirl® is constructed of high performance, lightweight and durable materials including polymer coated steel (PCS), high density polyethylene (HDPE), or fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP). These materials eliminate the need for heavy lifting equipment during installation. System Operation The treatment operation begins when stormwater enters the Aqua-Swirl® through a tangential inlet pipe that produces a circular (or vortex) flow pattern that causes contaminates to settle to the base of the unit. Since stormwater flow is intermittent by nature, the Aqua-Swirl® retains water between storm events providing both dynamic and quiescent settling of solids. The dynamic settling occurs during each storm event while the quiescent settling takes place between successive storms. A combination of gravitational and hydrodynamic drag forces encourages the solids to drop out of the flow and migrate to the center of the chamber where velocities are the lowest. The treated flow then exits the Aqua-Swirl® behind the arched outer baffle. The top of the baffle is sealed across the treatment channel, thereby eliminating floatable pollutants from escaping the system. A vent pipe is extended up the riser to expose the backside of the baffle to atmospheric conditions, preventing a siphon from forming at the bottom of the baffle. Custom Applications The Aqua-Swirl® system can be modified to fit a variety of purposes in the field, and the angles for inlet and outlet lines can be modified to fit most applications. The photo below demonstrates the flexibility of Aqua-Swirl® installations using a “twin” configuration in order to double the Page 6 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. Custom designed AS-9 Twin Aqua-Swirl® water quality treatment capacity. Two Aqua-Swirl® units were placed side by side in order to treat a high volume of water while occupying a small amount of space. Retrofit Applications The Aqua-Swirl® system is designed so that it can easily be used for retrofit applications. With the invert of the inlet and outlet pipe at the same elevation, the Aqua-Swirl® can easily be connected directly to the existing storm conveyance drainage system. Furthermore, because of the lightweight nature and small footprint of the Aqua-Swirl®, existing infrastructure utilities (i.e., wires, poles, trees) would be unaffected by installation. AquaShield™ Product System Maintenance The long term performance of any stormwater treatment structure, including manufactured or land based systems, depends on a consistent maintenance plan. Inspection and maintenance functions are simple and easy for the AquaShieldTM Stormwater Treatment Systems allowing all inspections to be performed from the surface. It is important that a routine inspection and maintenance program be established for each unit based on: (a) the volume or load of the contaminants of concern, (b) the frequency of releases of contaminants at the facility or location, and (c) the nature of the area being drained. In order to ensure that our systems are being maintained properly, AquaShieldTM offers a maintenance solution to all of our customers. We will arrange to have maintenance performed. Page 7 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. Inspection All AquaShieldTM products can be inspected from the surface, eliminating the need to enter the systems to determine when cleanout should be performed. In most cases, AquaShieldTM recommends a quarterly inspection 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 single chamber system can be inspected and maintained entirely 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. AquaShieldTM provides a customized manhole cover with our distinctive logo to make it easy for maintenance crews to locate the system in the field. We also provide a permanent metal information plate Page 8 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. Sediment inspection using a stadia rod in a single chamber Maintenance trigger for Aqua-Swirl® Models AS- 3 through AS-13 occurs when sediment pile is 42-48 inches below water surface. Maintenance trigger for Aqua-Swirl® Model AS-2 occurs when sediment pile is 30 to 32 inches below water surface. affixed inside the access riser which provides our contact information, the Aqua-Swirl® model size, and serial number. 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 easy and direct 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. The maintenance trigger for Aqua-Swirl® Models AS-3 through AS-13 occurs when the sediment pile is within 42 to 48 inches of the standing water surface. For the Aqua-Swirl® Model AS-2, maintenance is needed when the top of the sediment pile is measured to be 30 to 32 inches below the standing water surface. 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. Keep in mind that the finer sediment at the top of the pile may offer less resistance to the measuring device than the larger particles which typically occur deeper within the sediment pile. 42-48” 42-48” AS-2: 30-32” Page 9 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. Vacuum truck quickly cleans the Aqua-Swirl® from a single chamber The Aqua-Swirl® design allows for the sediment to accumulate in a semi-conical fashion as illustrated above. That is, the depth to sediment as measured below the water surface may be less in the center of the swirl chamber; and likewise, may be greater at the edges of the swirl chamber. Aqua-Swirl® Cleanout Procedure Cleaning the Aqua-Swirl® is simple and quick. Free-floating oil and floatable debris can be observed and removed directly through the 30-inch service access riser provided. A vacuum truck is typically used to remove the accumulated sediment and debris. An advantage of the Aqua-Swirl® design is that the entire sediment storage area can be reached with a vacuum hose from the surface (reaching all the sides). Since there are no multiple or limited (hidden or “blind”) chambers in the Aqua-Swirl®, there are no restrictions to impede on-site maintenance tasks. Disposal of Recovered Materials Disposal of recovered material is typically handled in the same fashion as catch basin cleanouts. AquaShieldTM recommends that all maintenance activities be performed in accordance with appropriate health and safety practices for the tasks and equipment being used. AquaShieldTM also recommends that all materials removed from the Aqua-Swirl® and any external structures (e.g, bypass features) be handled and disposed in full accordance with any applicable local and state requirements.

Aqua-Swirl® Inspection and Maintenance Manual Work Sheets SITE and OWNER INFORMATION Site Name: Site Location: Date: Time: Inspector Name: Inspector Company: Phone #: Owner Name: Owner Address: Owner Phone #: Emergency Phone #: INSPECTIONS I. Floatable Debris and Oil 1. Remove manhole lid to expose liquid surface of the Aqua-Swirl®. 2. Remove floatable debris with basket or net if any present. 3. If oil is present, measure its depth. Clean liquids from system if one half (½) inch or more oil is present. Note: Water in Aqua-Swirl® can appear black and similar to oil due to the dark body of the surrounding structure. Oil may appear darker than water in the system and is usually accompanied by oil stained debris (e.g. Styrofoam, etc.). The depth of oil can be measured with an oil/water interface probe, a stadia rod with water finding paste, a coliwasa, or collect a representative sample with a jar attached to a rod. II. Sediment Accumulation 1. Lower measuring device (e.g. stadia rod) into swirl chamber through service access provided until top of sediment pile is reached. 2. Record distance to top of sediment pile from top of standing water: inches 3. For Aqua-Swirl® Models AS-3 through AS-13, schedule cleaning if value in Step #2 is 48 to 42 inches or less. 4. For Aqua-Swirl® Model AS-2, schedule cleaning if value in Step #2 is 32 to 30 inches or less. Page 11 of 14 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2014. All rights reserved. III. Diversion Structures (External Bypass Features) If a diversion (external bypass) configuration is present, it should be inspected as follows: 1. Inspect weir or other bypass feature for structural decay or damage. Weirs are more susceptible to damage than off-set piping and should be checked to confirm that they are not crumbling (concrete or brick) or decaying (steel). 2. Inspect diversion structure and bypass piping for signs of structural damage or blockage from debris or sediment accumulation. 3. When feasible, measure elevations on diversion weir or piping to ensure it is consistent with site plan designs. 4. Inspect downstream (convergence) structure(s) for sign of blockage or structural failure as noted above. CLEANING Schedule cleaning with local vactor company or AquaShieldTM to remove sediment, oil and other floatable pollutants. The captured material generally does not require special treatment or handling for disposal. Site-specific conditions or the presence of known contaminants may necessitate that appropriate actions be taken to clean and dispose of materials captured and retained by the Aqua-Swirl®. All cleaning activities should be performed in accordance with property health and safety procedures. AquaShieldTM always recommends that all materials removed from the Aqua-Swirl® during the maintenance process be handled and disposed in accordance with local and state environmental or other regulatory requirements.
