STORMWATER SYSTEM OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
Preface:
The goal of this manual is to improve water quality by initiating
performance standards for the operation and maintenance of
stormwater management structures, facilities, and recognized
practices. The stormwater performance standards are set up to meet
the statutory and regulatory authorities of the Department of
Environmental Protection, including the Wetland Protection Act,
surface water discharge permits under the Clean Waters Act, the 401
certification program for fill in wetlands, and the 401 certification of
federal permits based on the water quality standards.
The local Conservation Commission and the Department of
Environmental Protection are responsible for ensuring the protection of
wetlands through the issuance of permits for activities in flood plains
and in or near wetlands, as per the Wetlands Protection Act, MGL
c.131 s. 40. Proposed work within a resource area or a one hundred
(100') foot buffer zone requires an order of conditions.
Resource areas include freshwater and coastal wetlands, banks,
beaches, and dunes bordering on estuaries, streams, riverfront,
ponds, lakes, or the ocean; lands under any of these bodies of water;
land subject to tidal action, coastal storm flowage, or flooding.
The discharge of pollutants to water of the Commonwealth without a
permit is prohibited under the state Clean Waters Act, MGL c. 21, as
2653. Stormwater discharges are subject to regulations when two
criteria are met under 314 CMR 3.04(2). First, there must be
"conveyance or system of conveyances (including pipes, ditches, and
channels) primarily used for collecting and conveying stormwater
runoff." 314 CMR 3.04(2)(a). Second, the stormwater runoff must be
"contaminated by contact with process wastes, raw materials, toxic
pollutants, hazardous substances, or oil and grease," or, be
designated on a case-by-case basis. Such designations must be
made when the "stormwater discharge" is subject to effluent or toxic
pollutant limitations, is located in an industrial plant area, or may be a
significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the Commonwealth.
Any activity resulting in a discharge to waters of the United States
must comply with Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act and
comply with state water quality standards. All stormwater discharges
must be set back from the receiving waters or wetlands and best
management practices (BMP) must be implemented. A permit is
required for any stormwater discharge to an Outstanding Resource
Water (ORW) which meets the regulatory definition in 314 CMR
3.04(2). Outstanding Resource Waters are defined under Surface
Margaret Circle, Off Berry Street
Operations& Maintenance Manual Page 1 of 8
Water Quality Standards 314 CMR 4.06 and include public surface
water supplies, coastal and some inland Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACECs), and certified vernal pools.
This manual is set up to explain how to operate and maintain Best
Management Practices that control erosion and minimize delivery of
sediment and other pollutants to surrounding water and air.
Chapter 1 is an introduction to the site and describes the Best
Management Practices used on this site.
Chapter outlines the inspection and maintenance schedules for
the site.
Chapter 3 shows the location of the Best Management Practices
used on-site.
Chapter 4 outlines the operation and function of the Best
Management Practices.
Chapter describes how and when the Best Management
Practices should be inspected and how frequently they
must be maintained and cleaned.
1. Introduction:
The existing site contains several single family dwellings, hams,
greenhouses and other agricultural uses. The site is bordered to the
north and west by bordering vegetated wetland, to the south by Berry
Street, and to the east by Fern Street (an unoonstructed right-of-way).
The site contains two ponds, one on the western half of the parcel
(existing pond #1) and one on the eastern half (existing pond #2).
There is also a vernal pool 650± feet from Berry Street along the
eastern property line.
The proposed development is to construct a 404± linear foot roadway
off of Berry Street ending in a cul-de-sac providing legal frontage for 3
residential lots (Lots 7-9). The project also proposes to create 8 ANR
lots along Berry Street, 6 of which will contain new dwellings(Lots 1-6)
and two of which will contain existing dwellings (Lots 10 & 11). The
construction of the right-of-way attendant to the road will include a
pavement width of 22 feet. The construction of the ANR lots will also
include the removal of large bams and greenhouses which are
currently on-site.
Stormwater runoff from the development will be collected in a number
of Best Management Practices (BMP's), including a biofilter swale,
bio-retention area, and infiltration basin. Stormwater runoff for the
Margaret Circle, Off Berry Street
Operations& Maintenance Manual Page 2 of 8
length of the roadway up until the cul-de-sac will be collected in a
biofilter swale, then treated in an infiltration basin. Stormwater runoff
from the cul-de-sac is treated by a bio-retention area in the center of
the cul-de-sac.
To control erosion and minimize delivery of sediment and other
pollutants into the atmosphere and adjacent wetlands, Best
Management Practices (BMP's) have been provided within the site's
stormwater management system. These practices include but are not
limited to:
• Biofilter Swales;
• Bio-Retention Area;
• Infiltration Basin.
This manual is designed to help responsible parties become aware of
urban non-point pollution problems and to provide detailed information
about operating and maintaining stormwater management practices.
The success of the Best Management Practices is dependent on their
continued operations and maintenance.
2. Maintenance Requirements:
BMP's Owners:
• The OWNERS of the BMP's shall be the person, persons, trust,
corporation, etc., or their successors who have title to the land on
which the BMP is located. It is anticipated that all BMP's will be
owned by a Homeowner's Association entitled "Berry Street
Association Trust", until the title of land upon which they are
located is transferred.
Operation and Maintenance Responsibilities:
• The party or parties responsible for the funding, operation and
maintenance of the BMP's shall be the OWNER or their designees.
• BMP's each have specific maintenance requirements to ensure
long-term effectiveness. These stormwater management systems
will be operated, inspected and maintained on a regular basis by a
qualified professional with expertise in inspecting drainage
system components. All of the stormwater BMP's shall be kept in
good working order at all times.
• A maintenance agreement providing for the funding, operation and
maintenance of all the stormwater management BMP's shall be
provided.

4. Operation of Best Management Practices:
Biofilter Swales — are traditional vegetated open channels that are
designed to provide for non-erosive conveyance of stormwater runoff.
The functions of biofilter swales include:
• Vegetated, stormwater conveyance;
• Compatible with LID design practices and accents landscaping;
• Less expensive than curb and gutter.
Bioretention Area — bioretention is a technique that uses soil, plants,
and microbes to treat stormwater before it is infiltrated and/or
discharged. Bioretention areas are shallow depressions filled with
sandy soil topped with a thick layer of mulch and planted with dense
native vegetation that are sometimes divided into sub-areas.
Stormwater runoff is directed into the area via piped or sheet flow.
The runoff percolates through the sandy soil media that acts like a
filter. There are two types of bioretention areas; those designed to
function solely as an organic filter, called a filtering bioretention area,
and those configured to recharge groundwater in addition to acting as
a filter, called an exfiltrating bioretention area. A filtering bioretention
area includes an impermeable liner and underdrain that intercepts the
runoff before it reaches the groundwater table so that it can be
conveyed to a discharge outlet, other BMP or a municipal stone drain
system. Some exfiltrating bioretention areas also have an underdrain
system designed to enhance exfiltnation of runoff into the groundwater.
The functions of a bioretention area include:
• Preserves the natural water balance of the site;
• Supply shade, absorbs noise and provides windbreaks;
• Remove other pollutants beside Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
including nitrogen, phosphorus and metals.
Infiltration Basins — are stormwater runoff impoundments that are
constructed over permeable soils which allow for the recharge of
treated runoff into the groundwater. The functions of an infiltration
basin include:
• Provide groundwater recharge;
• Reduce local flooding;
• Preserve the natural water balance of the site.

Operations & Maintenance Manual Page 6 of 8
5. Inspection and Maintenance of Best Management Practices:
Biofitter Swales:
At a minimum, the biofilter swales shall be inspected after every major
storm event (1-inch of rain or greater) for the first six (6) months and
twice per year thereafter. Sediment and debris shall be removed from
the grass channel once per year. Grass within the channel shall be
mowed as necessary to maintain the grass height between three (3)
and six (6) inches. Remove grass clippings and inspect for signs of
erosion and the formation of rills and/or gullies. Reseed or re-sod with
an alternative grass species if the original grass cover is not
successfully established. When reseeding, incorporate practices such
as hydroseeding with a tacker, blanket or similar practice to ensure
that no scour occurs in the grass channel, while the seeds germinate
and develop roots.
Collected sediment and debris will be properly disposed of per local,
state and federal requirements. Any sediment and debris removed
from the biofilter swales deemed to be contaminated must be
evaluated in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations, 310
CMR 30.000, and handled as hazardous waste.
Bioretention Areas:
At a minimum, the bioretention area shall be inspected after every
major storm event(1-inch of rain or greater) for the first six (6) months
and monthly thereafter. Miscellaneous trash and liter shall be
removed at the time of each inspection. During each inspection, areas
of vegetation and soil shall be identified for repair prior to the next
inspection.
Additionally, during each inspection, inspect the top layer of stone and
filter fabric at the top of the stone diaphragm for accumulated
sediment. Remove sediment and, if it appears dogged, replace filter
fabric.
Grasses within the area will be mowed at a minimum of twice a year
during the time between the winter snow melt and first frost of the
following winter. Remove grass clippings and other organic matter
after mowing. Eroded or barren areas in the mulch layer shall be re-
mulched as needed. The entire mulch layer shall be replaced every
two years in the early spring. Removal of dead vegetation and invasive
species shall be done as needed and pruning of plants will be done
once a year.
Collected sediment and debris will be properly disposed of per local,
state and federal requirements. Any sediment and debris removed
Margaret Circle, Off Berry Street
Operations & Maintenance Manual Page 7 of 8
from the bioretention area deemed to be contaminated must be
evaluated in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations, 310
CMR 30.000, and handled as hazardous waste.
Infiltration Basins:
At a minimum shall be inspected after every major storm event (1-inch
of rain or greater)for the first six (6) months, then in the spring and fall
of every year, thereafter. Note how long water remains standing in
basin after a storm; standing water within the basin >72 hours after
storm events suggests potential clogging and should be immediately
addressed. Also, check for signs of differential settlement, cracking,
erosion, leakage in embankments, tree growth in embankments,
condition of riprap, sediment accumulation and the health of the turf.
Infiltration basins shall be mowed a minimum of twice per year. Grass
clippings and accumulated organic matter should be removed to a
non-sensitive area. Repairs and reseeding should be done as
required. Sediment and debris should be removed manually when
infiltration basin is thoroughly dry, a minimum of once per year or
when the sediment level reaches a depth of 3".
At a minimum, inspect and clean pretreatment devices associated with
the infiltration basins at least twice a year.
Collected sediment and debris will be properly disposed of per local,
state and federal requirements. Any sediment and debris removed
from the infiltration basin deemed to be contaminated must be
evaluated in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations, 310
CMR 30.000, and handled as hazardous waste.
Snow Storage:
The BMP's included in this manual should not be utilized as snow
storage areas. Snow should be stored on east side of the roadway
and on the outside of the cul-de-sac. Avoid storing snow in the
Bioretention Area in the center of the cul-de-sac and in the Infiltration
Area & Biofilter Swale on the west side of the roadway. Every effort
shall be made to plow snow so when it melts, the runoff will be toward
a best management practice which provides treatment.
