Meridian St. Carmel, IN 46032 Prepared by: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. 500 East 96th Street, Suite 300 Indianapolis, Indiana 46240 Contact: Nathan Barr I affirm, under penalties for perjury, that I have taken reasonable care to redact each Social Security number in this document, unless required by law. – Gavinn Bakker Prepared on: August 22, 2024 Revised: October 14, 2024 Water Quality BMPs Water Quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) are vegetative, structural, and other measures that reduce or eliminate pollutants that might otherwise be carried by surface runoff. Potential pollutant sources include litter from patrons and automobile fluids on the pavement including heavy metals, oil, grease, and alcohols. The stormwater for the site drains via shallow and concentrated flow to a proposed storm network and through structural water quality units and through two dry detention basins prior to outletting into an existing wet detention pond. Dry detention basins are designed with outlet control structures that slow the release of the stormwater. This allows pollutants and sediment to settle out prior to stormwater leaving the detention area. BMPs for Meadowstone Community will include: Wet Basin #1 Wet Basin #2 Two (2) Water Quality Structures (XC-11 and XC-6) See Attachment A for a BMP Location Map for this project. BMP Owner Contact Information and Billing Contact Name: Pulte Group Contact: Rex Ramage Address: 11590 N. Meridian Street, Carmel, IN 46032 Business Phone Number: 317-814-2026 Party Responsible The BMP owner agrees to pay all the fees required by the City of Carmel, including annual inspection fees, and/or any additional fees required. Routine inspections are the responsibility of the BMP owner. Maintenance is also the responsibility of the owner. The City of Carmel must be notified of any changes in BMP ownership, major repairs, or BMP failures in writing within 30 days. The letter should be addressed to: Storm Water Program Carmel Engineering Dept. One Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 In the event that the City of Carmel finds a BMP in need of maintenance or repair, the City of Carmel will notify the BMP owner of the necessary maintenance or repairs and give the BMP Owner a timeframe for completing the maintenance or repairs. If the maintenance or repairs are not completed within the designated timeframe, the City shall perform the repairs or maintenance and bill the BMP Owner the actual cost of the work. Submittal of annual inspection reports to the City of Carmel Engineering are due one year after construction is completed, with subsequent reports due each year within the same month of the initial report, any deficiencies found during the inspections should be addressed, and the BMP owner faces enforcement action from the City 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. Material Handling Disposal of waste from maintenance of drainage facilities shall be conducted in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Removed sediment must be handled and disposed of in the garbage as solid waste. Water should be disposed of in a sanitary sewer after oils are removed using oil absorbent materials or other mechanical means. Used oil absorbents should be recycled or disposed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Safety Work inside underground structures requires special OSHA-required confined space equipment and procedures. The most practical option to perform maintenance or repairs is to contract with a sewer- cleaning contractor Storm Structure Maintenance and Inspection Storm structures on site are identified within the construction plans set. Storm structures are set at storm sewer pipe connections. Unless you have OSHA approved training and equipment, never enter a manhole. Inspection and maintenance of all storm structures is required per the table below. Storm Structure Maintenance and Inspection Inspection All inlet castings should be inspected every 6 months and after each major rainfall event. More frequent inspections should be performed in areas where there is higher potential for trash or litter and during the fall when leaves are present on the ground. Check the frame and lid for cracks and wear, such as rocking lids or lids moved by traffic. Storm structures and the surrounding areas should be inspected annually for pollutants such as leaks from dumpsters, minor spills, and oil dumping. Take action to have the pollutant source removed. Cleaning Clean structures when there is a blockage of a water flow path or when sediment depth reaches 10% of the pipe diameter. Cleaning should be performed in a way that ensures removed sediment and water is not discharged back into the storm sewer. Materials Handling Disposal of waste from maintenance of drainage facilities shall be conducted in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Removed sediment must be disposed in the garbage as solid waste. Water should be disposed of in a sanitary sewer after oils are removed using oil absorbent materials or other mechanical means. Used oil absorbents should be recycled or disposed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Repairs Repair all security and access features so they are fully functional. This includes locking lids, covers, and ladder rungs. Replace broken parts or lids that rock or are moved by traffic. Storm Sewer Maintenance and Inspection Storm sewer pipes convey stormwater. Pipes are built from many materials and are sometimes perforated to allow stormwater to infiltrate into the ground. Storm pipes are cleaned to remove sediment or blockages when problems are identified. Storm pipes must be clear of obstructions and breaks to prevent localized flooding. Storm sewer maintenance and inspection required per the table below. Storm Sewer Maintenance and Inspection Inspection Pipes are difficult to inspect requiring special equipment and training. Usually, if a problem occurs the owner needs to call a sewer or plumbing contractor to inspect, repair or clean pipelines. Cleaning Clean pipes when sediment depth is greater than 10% of the pipe diameter. When cleaning a pipe, minimize sediment and debris discharges from pipes to the storm sewer. Install downstream debris traps (where applicable) before cleaning and then remove material. Generally, use mechanical methods to remove root obstructions from inside storm sewer pipes. Do not put root-dissolving chemicals in storm sewer pipes. If there is a problem, remove the vegetation over the line. Materials Handling Sediment and debris from pipes should be disposed in the garbage as solid waste. Pick out any rocks first. Repairs Repair or replace pipes when a dent or break closes more than 20 percent of the pipe diameter. Repair or replace pipes damaged by deterioration. Turf Vegetative Coverage All non-paved areas that are not landscaped shall be vegetated to prevent erosion and sediment buildup in storm sewer facilities onsite or downstream of the project site. Seed shall be reapplied as required to establish healthy, dense coverage. Detention System Maintenance Wet Basin Wet detention ponds detain stormwater runoff to allow for contaminated sediments to settle and remain in the pond and allow the water in the pond to be displaced by the next rain event. The settling process removes particulates, organic matter, and metals from the water while nutrients are removed through biological uptake. By capturing and retaining runoff, wet detention ponds control both stormwater quality and quantity. At a minimum, the basin should be inspected and maintained once per year and after every large rain event. An inspection checklist can be found in the Appendix B. Swale Maintenance and Inspection Swales are manmade open channels that carry only stormwater. Ditches are often maintained for drainage to prevent localized flooding by draining stormwater. Inspection and maintenance include removing sediment, debris and overgrown vegetation per the table below. Swale/Bioretention Maintenance and Inspection Maintenance Activity Frequency Treat diseased trees and shrubs As needed. All should be inspected twice per year for evaluation. Pruning and weeding to maintain appearance As needed Inspect rip rap area and repair eroded areas Monthly (initially). Semiannually. Planting soils Annually test soil pH. If pH is < 5.2, apply an alkaline product (e.g., limestone) one to two times per year to counteract soil acidity. If pH is 7.0-8.0, apply iron sulfate and sulfur to reduce pH. Inspect for sediment accumulation Semiannually inspect inflow points for deposition and possible clogging. Remove sediment. Clogged systems may be exhibited by excessive ponding. Core aeration or cultivating unvegetated areas may alleviate this issue. Remove litter and debris Monthly. As needed. Soil replacement When levels of pollutants reach toxic levels that decrease effectiveness of the system. Often swales have problems due to flooding or erosion. Where possible, correct the underlying problem before trying to repair the symptom. If there is a problem with grass dying due to the swale being flooded during the wet season, there are two options: convert the swale to plant varieties that can stand being flooded or find a way to fix the swale, so it drains. Constructing an underdrain system under swales are strongly recommended. Additional information and a sample inspection checklist are available in Appendix B. Checklists should, at a minimum, address the items identified in this document.

Version_0419 Floatable trash & debris in the Aqua-Swirl® Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator Stormwater Treatment System The Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator Stormwater Treatment System (Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator) is a vortex-type hydrodynamic separator designed and supplied by AquaShieldTM, Inc. (AquaShieldTM). Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator technology removes pollutants including suspended solids, debris, and floatables from stormwater runoff. Both treatment and storage are accomplished in the single swirl chamber without the use of multiple or hidden, blind access chambers. System Operation The treatment operation begins when stormwater enters the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator 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® XCelerator 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. © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2019. All rights reserved. Version_0419 Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator 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 Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator 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. Inspection The Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator can be inspected from the surface, eliminating the need to enter the system to determine when cleanout should be performed. In most cases, AquaShieldTM recommends a quarterly inspection during construction and for the first year of operation to develop an appropriate schedule of maintenance. The Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator should be inspected and cleaned at the end of construction regardless of whether it has reached its sediment storage capacity and/or other captured materials. 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 once per year. Maintenance The Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator 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 floatable debris can be directly observed and maintained through the manhole access provided directly over the swirl chamber. Inspection Procedure To inspect the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator, a hook is typically 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 © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2019. All rights reserved. Version_0419 Sediment inspection using a stadia rod information plate affixed inside the access riser which provides our contact information, the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator model size, and serial number. The only tools needed to inspect the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator system are a flashlight and a measuring device such as a stadia rod or pole. Given the easy and direct accessibility provided, floating trash 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 a nd to the surface of the water. AquaShieldTM recommends that the units be cleaned when sediment depth reaches 6 inches, representing 50% sediment storage capacity. The full sediment storage depth in the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator is 12 inches. 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. Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator Cleanout Procedure Cleaning the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator is simple and quick. Floatable trash 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® XCelerator 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 (blind) access chambers in the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator there are no restrictions to impede on-site maintenance tasks. 42-48” © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2019.

Version_0419 Vacuum (vactor) truck quickly cleans the single open access swirl chamber Disposal of Recovered Materials 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® XCelerator and any external structures (e.g, bypass features) be handled and disposed in full accordance with any applicable local and state requirements.

Floatable Trash and Debris 1. Remove manhole lid to expose liquid surface of the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator. 2. Remove floatable debris with basket or net if any present. 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. Maximum recommended sediment depth prior to cleanout is 12 inches for all models. Consult system shop drawing for treatment chamber depth as measured from the inlet pipe invert to base of the unit. 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. © AquaShieldTM, Inc. 2019. All rights reserved. Version_0419 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, trash, 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® XCelerator. 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® XCelerator during the maintenance process be handled and disposed in accordance with local and state environmental or other regulatory requirements. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE I. During Construction Inspect the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator every three (3) months and clean the system as needed. The Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator should be inspected and cleaned at the end of construction regardless of whether it has reached its maintenance trigger. II.

Maintenance Standards derived from the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (September 2004). Page 5 Maintenance Standards Conveyance Systems (Pipes and Ditches) Maintenance Code Type Conditions When Maintenance Is Needed 1 Sediment Sediment or debris exceeds 20% of pipe diameter or 20% of debris barrier openings. Accumulated sediment that exceeds 20% of the design depth of the ditch. 2 Trash & Debris Trash and debris accumulated in pipe or ditch. Visual evidence of dumping 3 Vegetation Vegetation reduces movement of water through pipes. Excessive vegetation that reduces free movement of water through ditches. 4 Water Quality Any evidence of oil, gasoline, contaminants or other pollutants. Water flowing in pipes or ditch during dry weather – report as potential illicit discharge concern. 5 Water Flow Impeded water flow due to vegetation or sediment (use appropriate code from above). Standing water in the pipe or swale between storm events. 6 Erosion Erosion damage over 2 inches deep where cause is still present or there is potential for continued erosion. Native soil is visible beneath the rock lining of a conveyance ditch. 7 Cover/Frame/ Grate N/A 8 Structure Debris barrier/trash rack is missing or not attached to pipe. Debris barrier/trash rack bars are bent by more than 3 inches. Debris barrier/trash rack bars are loose or rust is causing 50% deterioration to any part of the barrier. 9 Damaged Pipes Protective coating is damaged or rust is causing more than 50% deterioration to any part of pipe. Any dent that decreases the flow area by more than 20% or puncture that impacts performance. 10 Mosquito Vector Breeding Suitable habitat exists for mosquito production (e.g. standing water for more than 72 hours in areas accessible to mosquitoes.) 11 Other 12 Could Not Locate Field inspectors are unable to locate the pipe or ditch. Maintenance Standards derived from the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (September 2004). Page 6 Maintenance Standards Drywells Maintenance Code Type Conditions When Maintenance Is Needed 1 Sediment Sediment depth exceeds 2 feet or impedes flow from inlet pipes. 2 Trash & Debris Trash or debris exceeds 2 feet or impedes flow from inlet pipes. Trash or debris blocks more than 1/3 of any inlet or outlet pipe. Dead animals or vegetation that generate odors and cause complaints or dangerous gases (e.g., methane). 3 Vegetation Vegetation growing in inlet/outlet pipe joints that is more than six inches tall. Root systems entering drywell. 4 Water Quality Any evidence of oil, gasoline, contaminants or other pollutants. Water flowing into drywell during dry weather – report as potential illicit discharge concern. 5 Water Flow Facility does not drain within 72 hours. Impeded water flow due to vegetation or sediment (use appropriate code from above). 6 Erosion N/A 7 Cover/Frame/ Grate Cover is missing or only partially in place. One maintenance person cannot remove lid after applying normal lifting pressure. Frame separated by more than ¾ inch from top slab. Frame not securely attached. Locking mechanism cannot be opened by one maintenance person with proper tools. Bolts into frame have less than 1/2 inch of thread. 8 Structure Top slab with holes larger than 2 square inches or cracks wider than 1/4 inch. Grout at inlet/outlet pipes has separated or cracked wider than ½ inch and longer than one foot. Settlement has created a safety, function, or design problem. Field inspector judges that structure is unsound. 9 Damaged Pipes Inlet piping damaged or broken and in need of repair. 10 Mosquito Vector Breeding Suitable habitat exists for mosquito production (e.g. standing water for more than 72 hours in areas accessible to mosquitoes.) 11 Other 12 Could Not Locate Field inspectors are unable to locate the drywell.
