WALLACE WORKS MINOR SUBDIVISION
STORM WATER MAINTENANCE PLAN
PURPOSE AND INTRODUCTION
This maintenance plan identifies the recommended maintenance procedures necessary for the
proper function of the on-site storm water management system proposed at the Wallace Works
Minor Subdivision project in Bozeman, Montana. For the purpose of this plan, the on-site storm
water management system includes stormwater conveyance paths and pipes within the two lots
of the property; the subsurface retention chambers and inlets/manholes in the central plaza and
parking lot; and the existing PVC stormdrains in East Tamarack Street and North Wallace
Avenue to the north and east of the property.
The maintenance responsibility for all on-site stormwater management infrastructure outside of
the public right-of-way belongs to the property owners association (POA). The POA may
delegate routine inspection and maintenance responsibilities to the on-site facility operations
management team or may hire a qualified professional entity or individual to perform certain
monitoring and maintenance tasks as necessary. A log shall be kept for all required inspections
and maintenance. These logs shall be made available to the City of Bozeman Public Works
Department for review as requested. A sample maintenance log is included in the attached
Appendix.
The POA shall be responsible for levying annual assessments to provide for the maintenance,
repair, and upkeep of all on-site stormwater infrastructure outside of the public right-of-way.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The on-site storm water management system of which the POA is responsible for maintenance
includes on-site curb and gutter, curb inlets and associated piping, area inlets and associated
piping, drainage chases, roof drain piping, subsurface infiltration galleries, and any storm
manholes outside of the public right-of-way. These various components of storm water
management infrastructure are designed to collect, convey, clean, detain, and/or infiltrate storm
water runoff that is generated on the property before it leaves the site or enters local waterways.
Storm water systems require proper maintenance to prevent sediment clogging, overgrown
vegetation, erosion of detention ponds, obstruction of inlets, pipes, and structures, and
prolonged standing water. Such issues may result in downstream pollution, unpleasant odors,
unsightly areas, nuisance insects, or algae blooms, and must be mitigated. Scheduled
inspections, times of inspections, locations inspected, maintenance completed, corrective
actions taken, and any modifications or reconstruction performed shall be documented in the
maintenance logs to be readily available upon request. Disposal of accumulated sediment must
be in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations.
Wetlands are not anticipated to be encountered during maintenance activities for the on-site
subsurface infiltration facilities. However, maintenance of off-site locations where outlet pipes or
overflows discharge to protected water bodies within wetland areas may require wetland or
stream bank permitting. If unsure of the regulatory status of wetland features observed at the
site, consult the local authorities prior to undertaking any activities that may cause disturbance.

STORM WATER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The following maintenance procedures are intended to prolong the life of installed system
components and ensure their continued functionality:
General Storm Water System Maintenance –
1. Parking lot areas, curbs & gutters, drainage chases, and area drains should be cleared
of leaves and other debris once after primary leaf drop in the fall and once after snow
melt in early spring at a minimum. This will minimize the potential for debris to enter the
system which could lead to premature clogging of structures, reduced storage capacity,
and/or blockage of inlets.
2. Inspect the storm drain inlets, overflow structures, and cleanouts, for sediment build-up
or clogging and flush/clear as needed. Inspect for snow/ice buildup at least once weekly
during winter months and clear the inlet as needed. Do not pile snow over inlets.
3. Snow storage should be performed in designated areas during winter months and
should not be allowed to be piled in front of or over inlets. Piled snow around or over the
inlets could block early snowmelt run-off from entering the system, possibly causing
overflows and icy conditions.
4. Sanding of the parking lots and drive aisles should be done sparingly or avoided
completely. Sand or other sediment on the parking lot will likely be washed into
stormwater system components which can lead to buildup and reduced capacity or
blockages over time.
Sub-surface Infiltration Gallery (StormTech system) Maintenance –
The subsurface infiltration systems are designed with isolator rows that capture the “first flush”
of pollutants from runoff events. The isolator rows are equipped with inspection ports and direct
manhole access for maintenance. The isolator row should be inspected for sediment buildup
once every 6-months during the first year of operation, and once a year after that. Use the
general preventative measures described above to help reduce sediment build up and clogging.
Clean out sediment buildup as necessary following the attached manufacturer recommended
procedures.
