Semi-annually |
- Inspect and remove any sediment and debris build-up in pre-treatment areas.
- Inspect inflow points and bioretention surface for build up of road sand associated with spring melt period. Remove as necessary and replant areas that have been impacted by sand/salt build up.

Annually |
- Replace mulch over the entire area.
- Replace pea gravel diaphragm or filter fabric if warranted.
- The planting soils should be tested for pH to establish acidic levels. If the pH is below 5.2, limestone should be applied. If the pH is above 7.0 to 8.0, then iron sulfate plus sulfur can be added to reduce the pH.
