Main Street Carmel, Indiana 46033 Contact: TBD General Information The purpose of water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) is to filter the first flush of rainwater before it enters the downstream lakes and streams. Through the use of these BMPs, the sediment and pollutant load in stormwater runoff is reduced, and in many cases the quantity of stormwater runoff generated is also reduced. The use of BMPs also helps to reduce hydrocarbons, trash, and debris from entering waterways. Owner Responsibility The BMP Owner shall be responsible for all maintenance and costs associated with the proposed BMPs. In addition, it is the owner’s responsibility to perform and/or pay for inspections and maintenance as recommended below. Right of Entry City of Carmel representatives have the right to enter the property to inspect and, if required, maintain the BMPs at any time. Annual Inspection Reports Annual inspection reports shall be submitted to the City of Carmel for each BMP. 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 discrepancies 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 of Carmel. Page 3 TLF#2023-234 14-August 2024 II – SITE INFORMATION The site contains multiple Best Management Practices (BMP’s) for the purpose of sediment removal. A Dry Detention Pond is located at the southeast corner of the site and two Mechanical BMP’s are currently located upstream of the Dry Detention Pond. City of Carmel will require annual inspection reports of the water quality BMPs.

Unless you have OSHA approved training and equipment, never enter a manhole. Inspection All inlet castings should be inspected monthly and after each 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 6”. Cleaning should be performed in a way that ensures removed sediment and water is not discharged back into the storm sewer. Safety Work inside underground structures requires special OSHA-required confined space equipment and procedures. The most practical option may be to contract with a sewer cleaning contractor. 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 a 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. Page 9 TLF#2023-234 14-August 2024 IV – STORM SEWER PIPE MAINTENANCE 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. 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 pipes. Cleaning Clean pipes when sediment depth is greater than ¼ of the pipe diameter, with a maximum sediment depth of 6”. 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. Safety Work inside underground structures requires special OSHA-required confined space equipment and procedures. The most practical option may be to contract with a sewer cleaning contractor. 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 a 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 or replace pipes when a dent or break closes more than 20 percent of the pipe diameter. Repair or replace pipes damaged by deterioration. Page 10 TLF#2023-234 14-August 2024 IV – HYDRODYNAMIC SEPARATOR MAINTENANCE This project contains one new AquaSwirl BMP structure. AquaSwirls are designed to remove sediment, debris, and free oil from entering the sewer system. After construction, the AquaSwirl structures should be inspected every six months and cleaned as needed or once a year regardless of whether it has reached full pollutant storage capacity. Disposal of all sediment, in addition to local requirements, must be in accordance with all federal and state requirements. See the attached manufacture O&M Manual for complete details of inspection and cleaning. Inspection Inspect the unit every six months. The inspection should determine sediment depth, accumulation of trash and litter, and the specific maintenance and repairs needed. Annually check for cracks large enough to let soil enter the vault, broken or defective plates and baffles, and crushed or damaged pipes. Cleaning Remove trash and litter from the vault, inlet, and piping when present. Remove sediment when it accumulates to 7” or per the manufacturer’s maximum recommended depth. Cleaning should be performed in a way that ensures removed sediment and water is not discharged back into the storm sewer.

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.

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 Page 14 © 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. ” Page 15 © 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. Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator Inspection and Maintenance Work Sheets on following pages Page 16 TLF#2023-234 14-August 2024 IV – DRY DETENTION BASIN MAINTENANCE The site contains one dry detention basin at the southeast corner of the property. The pond discharges to the south off-site. Inspection Dry detention basins function more effectively when they are regularly inspected and maintained. Identify and report pollutant sources to the facility. Inspect the basin for oil and other pollutants and remove any pollutants in volumes greater than a surface sheen. Cleaning Trash is to be removed after every major rainfall event and at least every six months. Sediment is to be removed when it accumulates to 10 percent designed pond depth. 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 and seed bare areas. Repair eroded slopes when rills form, where the cause of damage is present, or there is potential for future erosion. Use cover BMPs on exposed soils. Rodent holes on a dam or berm can pipe water. Destroy rodents, preferably by trapping, and repair the dam or berm. If berms or dams show signs of sediment or sinkholes, serious problems may be occurring. Consult a licensed professional engineer to determine the cause of the sediment of sinkhole. Page 17 TLF#2023-234 14-August 2024 IV – NATIVE VEGETATION MAINTENANCE The site contains 1 area of native vegetation. This one area is the existing dry detention basin at the southeast corner of the site. Maintenance Year 1 - Repair and seed bare areas. Repair eroded slopes when rills form, where the cause of damage is present, or there is potential for future erosion. - Mow the installation at a height of 4 to 6 inches monthly, or each time weed growth reaches 10 inches in height. - At the end of the growing season, the installation may be mown down to 3 inches in height. - Trash is to be removed before every mowing. Year 2 - Mow at a height of 4 to 6 inches in the first half of May. - If weed pressure is light, the planting may be allowed to grow for the remainder of the season. - If there are significant quantities of biennial and perennial weeds such as sweet clover, Queen Anne’s lace, or Canada thistle, monthly mowing should continue through August. - The planting should be mowed to 3 inches in height during the dormant season following the second growing season. - Trash is to be removed before every mowing. Year 3 - The planting should be monitored for invasive plant species and unwanted woody plants twice a year, typically in late spring and again in early fall. - Targeted applications of selective herbicides on invasive plant species. - Unwanted woody species should be cut and treated with an appropriate herbicide in early fall each year. - Trash is to be removed at least every six months. Year 4 and beyond - The planting should be monitored for invasive plant species and unwanted woody plants twice a year, typically in late spring and again in early fall. - Targeted applications of selective herbicides on invasive plant species. - Unwanted woody species should be cut and treated with an appropriate herbicide in early fall each year. - Mow every third year and rake and remove the clippings following mowing. - Trash is to be removed at least every six months.

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. Page 34 © 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. First Year Post-Construction Inspect the unit(s) every three (3) months and clean the system as needed. Inspect and clean the system once annually regardless of whether it has reached its sediment or floatable pollutant storage capacity. III. Second and Subsequent Years Post-Construction If the system did not reach full sediment or floatable pollutant capacity in the First Year Post-Construction period, the system can be inspected and cleaned once annually. If the Aqua-Swirl® XCelerator reached full sediment or floatable pollutant capacity in less than 12 months in the First Year Post-Construction period, the system should be inspected once every six (6) months and cleaned as needed.
