| Device | Installation notes | Frequency of inspections | Maintenance checklist (link) | Permitted on private land/ Maintenance agreement recommended | Practices for minimizing sediment and trash buildup | Cost considerations (equipment needed and man hours) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SNOUT | Monthly for the first year, then annual inspection of anti-siphon vent and access hatch. If Bio-Skirt is used, check monthly [6] | Sediment removed from sump when it is half full. Trash and floatables removed when 6 in accumulates on surface. If Bio-Skirt is used, replace immediately after oil spill or when 2/3 of boom is submerged (nearly saturated) | ||||
| Prinsco Preserver Skimmer | 45 minute installation | Spring and fall inspections recommended. More frequent inspections are recommended following installation until a routine maintenance frequency is be determined. | [7] | Yes | Sediment removed when average depth reachs 1x pipe dia. below the outlet. Trash removed annually, or when trash covers water surface to a depth of 0.5x outlet pipe diameter. | Vacuum truck |
| Eliminator | Installs in minutes. Installation instructions here. [8] | After major storm events | Catch basin, hood, and filter (if used) cleaned annually [9] | |||
| Floatable boom | Monthly and after major storm events | Frequent inspection and floatables removal. | ||||
| Hood | Monthly and after major storm events | Frequent inspection and floatables removal. |
