Re: Storm Drain System Maintenance Plan
________________________________________________________________________________________
This memo introduces a draft storm drain system maintenance plan, that may be adjusted as
appropriate in the future (e.g. if storm drain system updates are installed).
Draft Maintenance Plan:
Tidal Wave Auto Spa Stormwater Maintenance Plan
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose: This Stormwater Maintenance Plan (SWMP) outlines the procedures for maintaining
stormwater facilities and records for Tidal Wave Auto Spa. The purpose of this plan is to establish
Owner responsibilities and facilitate the proper maintenance of stormwater infrastructure within the
private property.
1.2 Applicability: This SWMP applies to stormwater facilities, including retention basins, swales,
infiltration systems, and other stormwater management structures within the property.
2. Ownership and Responsibility
2.1 Ownership at the time of production of SWMP: Tidal Wave Auto Spa
2.2 Responsibilities: The responsible party shall be accountable for the regular inspection,
maintenance, and repair of all stormwater facilities. These responsibilities include:
2.2.1 Inspection: Regularly inspect stormwater facilities according to the inspection schedule outlined
in Section 3 of this SWMP. Inspections shall identify any maintenance or repair needs promptly.
2.2.2 Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance tasks to ensure stormwater facilities function as
intended. This includes removing debris, sediment, and trash, as well as repairing structural damage
that may occur over time. Routine mowing of native grasses and cleaning of the stormwater
retention area of debris, accumulated silts and sediment, etc. is considered appropriate maintenance.
2.2.3 Repair: Address any identified issues promptly and efficiently to maintain the integrity and
functionality of stormwater facilities.

4.2 Structural Maintenance: Structural maintenance shall be performed to address any identified
damage, cracks, or deterioration of stormwater facilities. Repairs shall adhere to industry standards
and best practices.
5. Recordkeeping
5.1 Installation Records: Upon the installation of stormwater facilities, detailed records of the design,
construction, and record drawings shall be created and maintained for future reference.
5.2 Maintenance Records: Maintenance activities, inspections, and repairs shall be recorded in a
maintenance log. The log shall include the date, activity performed, personnel involved, and
additional observations or findings or required actions.
5.3 Repair Records: Records of repairs performed, including the date, nature of the repair, materials
used, and personnel involved, shall be documented.
6. Training and Communication
