OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
CPS devices should be maintained byindividuals who are trained inproper disposal procedures,
confined space entry and traffic safety regulations. When servicing a Bio Clean CPS device be
sure to follow all safety and traffic control protocols aswell as wearing all proper personal
protection equipment such asgloves, safety glasses, hard-hat, safety vest and work boots.
Visual Inspection
1. Begin byinspecting the inflow of the catch basin where the Bio Clean CPS device is located.
Check for any obstructions to inflow of the CB unit. If any large obstructions are found, have them
removed. Once the inflow inspection iscompleted, remove the man-hole cover forfurther
inspection. (Note: Confined Space Entry Procedures may apply if trained personnel intend to enter
the interior space of any Catch Basin. Please follow all applicable confined space entry procedures)
2. Remove the manhole cover and visually estimate the amount and types of debris found inthe CB
unit. Look forany visual signs of damage that may compromise the CB unit to function properly.
Inspect for any standing water inthe CB unit as well asforlarge amounts of sediment and debris
surrounding the CPS device. If standing water and high sediment volume is found, remove water,
sediment and debris byvacuum truck orbyother debris removal methods.

Cleaning Procedures and Frequencies
1. Like all other storm water BMP’s, Bio Clean CPS devices require periodic maintenance.
Routine inspection and maintenance intervals forall CPS devices are typically twice per year for
inspections and once per year formaintenance service. Bio Clean CPS devices may require more
frequent maintenance service if the device is located ina high debris loading drainage area, such as
certain downtown areas, retail/restaurant, orresidential areas where a significant amount of
vegetation/foliage is located. In such cases, Bio Clean CPS devices may require more frequent
inspection and maintenance service, which could range from twice per year to monthly inspection
and maintenance service, depending on pollutant load conditions.
2. To begin Bio Clean CPS cleaning procedures, conduct a visual inspection of the CPS device and the
surrounding area to ensure a safe working environment. Setup appropriate barriers and signage as
necessary to establish a work zone surrounding the catch basin. Once the work zone has been
established, remove the manhole cover from the catch basin.
3. Once the manhole cover isremoved from the basin the Bio Clean CPS isready forservicing. All
debris can be removed byeither a vacuum truck ormanually removing sediment and debris by
hand.
4. Bio Clean CPS devices shall be cleaned using a pressure washer asmay be necessary if any
materials are found to cause occlusion orclogging of the screen.

local, state and federal regulation.
