ATTACHMENT "A"
PENINSULA COLLEGE ATHLETIC FIELDS
Operation Maintenance (O &M) Manual
Section 1— Required Maintenance and Estimates Costs
This project's stormwater management system consists of pea gravel trenches with
perforated underdrain pipes under the synthetic turf to address precipitation and runoff
tributary to the field. The field drainage will be detained within trenches and released
slowly through a flow control orifice structure located within a Type 2 catch basin at the
NW corner of the field.
The drainage facilities will rgquire routine maintenance. The Flow Control Structure and
porous asphalt paving will require periodic inspection. The control structure may require
sediment removal penodically based upon inspections, and the porous pavement may
require pressure washing. The conveyance pipes will require maintenance as well.
Yearly maintenance costs are estimated as follows:
Maintenance of Flow Control Structure
Maintenance of porous AC walkway
Jetting of tightline conveyance piping and
field underdrain perforated piping
Yearly Total
Section 2 Responsible Organization

mulched, or covered with plastic sheeting as needed to inhibit erosion. The owner and
the contractor shall maintain such protective measures through the construction period
and until final development of the site commences. A construction stormwater pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP) has been prepared by Bruce Dees and Associates to address
construction period runoff.
Section 4— Source Control
Typical pollutants associated with normal operations and construction activities, such as
oil spills from oil changes, leaks of hydraulic fluids, etc. should not pose a significant
threat to downstream systems, nor aquifers, because source control measures shall be
in place; a source control strategy has been prepared for this project and it is included as

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HANDLING AND SOURCE CONTROL
MANAGING HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS
Operators and maintenance staff should buy and use only what is needed. Leftovers
need to be stored properly /safely reused, given away, recycled, or disposed of
safely.
Operators and maintenance staff should read labels and follow directions on the
label. Hazardous products may be labeled:
Danger Poisonous
Volatile
Combustible Caustic
Explosive
Waming Corrosive
Flammable
Caution
Operators and maintenance staff should keep products in original containers and
always keep them well labeled. If the product must be transferred to smaller
containers, use the proper size funnel and avoid spills. Label all containers.
Labels can fall off with weathering. To prevent, cover with transparent tape. To
relabel, use a metal tag attached to the container or use a stencil and spray paint.
Do not mix chemical substances unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Use in well ventilated areas. Protect skin, eyes, nose, and mouth when necessary
by wearing gloves, respirator, or other protective clothing.
Keep corrosive liquids away from flammable liquids.
Look for nontoxic or less toxic options (check with the State Department of Ecology
Office of Waste Reduction at 1- 800 822 9933).
Use all of the product before disposing of the container.
There are private firms that specialize in the cleanup of spills.
B -1
EQUIPMENT WASHING
Thinners or solvents are not to be discharged into the sanitary or storm sewer systems
when cleaning machine parts where discharge of water is required. Use alternative
methods for cleaning larger equipment parts such as high pressure, high temperature
water washes, or steam cleaning. Equipment washing wash water cannot be
discharged into the storm or sanitary system.
Small parts can be cleaned with degreasing solvents which are reused after filtering or
recycled. These solvents should not discharge into any sewer. Further information is
available from the Department of Ecology.
SPILL CONTROL PLANNING AND CLEANUP
Any spill that occurs, regardless of the size and /or type of spill, should be reported to the
following four agencies:
City of Port Angeles:
SOURCE CONTROL
ph. 360- 417 -4800
If the spill of a hazardous substance could reach surface waters, all of the
following four agencies must be notified (there are fines for failing to notify):
National Response Center 1- 800 -424 -8802 (24 -hour)
Washington Emergency Management Division 1- 800 258 -5990 or 1- 800 OILS -911
Locally, notify the regional Department of Ecology offices: 1- 360 -407 -6300
State Emergency Response Commission 1- 800 258 -5990
Notify the owner in the event of a spill, particularly if it is hazardous. Follow
manufacturer's specific clean -up instructions for different products handled on site. If a
spill occurs, demobilize it as quickly as possible. If there is a chance that the spill could
enter a storm drain or sewer, plug the inlet and turn off or divert any incoming water.
Cover the spill with absorbent material such as kitty litter or sawdust. Do not use straw.
Dispose of the used absorbent per Ecology or manufacturer's instructions. If the spill is
flammable, dispose of as directed by the local fire marshall.
Minimize use of commercial fertilizers. Use only that amount recommended by the
manufacturer.
Do not overwater lawn areas, causing excess runoff to the road storm drainage
system.
Do not dispose of used motor oil, cleaning fluids, waste water, or any other
substance to the catch basins, grass swales, or the ground in general.
Recycle all motor oils and anti freeze. Call local health department for recycling
center locations.

Inspect pavement surface of accumulated sediment and debris
Pavement sweeper to sweep parking lot clear of
accumulated sediment and debris.
See the attached checklists obtained from the Department of
Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western
Washington (SWMMWW) for No 2 Infiltration. Note that
the checklist references "detention ponds" and so that has been
included as well for inspection and maintenance.
See the attached checklist obtained from SWMMWW No. 8
Typical Biofltration Swale
See the attached checklist obtained from SWMMWW No. 15
Stormfilter and the manufacturer's maintenance manual
Inspect pipe outlets for debris and sediment accumulation.
Remove any debris that could block flow
Erosion
Inspect area around end of pipe to see if erosion of 2
inches deep or greater exists at pipe outlet. If so,
install 5 square foot by 1 foot deep rock pad at outlet to
dissipate the waters energy. If energy dissipater is
required, see energy dissipater for curb inlets No. 7
Energy Dissipaters
Structural pipe damage
Examine exposed pipe for any structural damage that
could impede flow. Replace section of pipe that has
been damaged.

4.6 Maintenance Standards for Drainage Facilities
The facility- specific maintenance standards contained in this section are
intended to be conditions for determining if maintenance actions are
required as identified through inspection. They are not intended to be
measures of the facility's required condition at all times between
inspections. In other words, exceedence of these conditions at any time
between inspections and/or maintenance does not automatically constitute
a violation of these standards. However, based upon inspection
observations, the inspection and maintenance schedules shall be adjusted
to minimize the length of time that a facility is in a condition that requires
a maintenance action.

dogged check dams, add underdrains or
convert to a wet blofiltration swale.
Level the spreader and dean so that flows
are spread evenly over entire swale width.
Add a low -flow pea gravel drain the length
of the swale or by -pass the baseflow
around the swale.
Determine why grass growth is poor and
correct that condition. Re -plant with plugs
of grass from the upper slope: plant in the
Swale bottom at 8-inch intervals. Or re-
seed into loosened, fertile soil.
Mow vegetation or remove nuisance
vegetation so that flow not impeded.
Grass should be mowed b a height of 3 to
4 inches. Remove grass clippings.
If possible, trim back over hanging limbs
and remove brushy vegetation on
adjacent slopes.
Remove material so that there is no
dogging or blockage in the inlet and outlet

Remove trash and debris from bioswale.
For ruts or bare areas Tess than 12 inches
wide, repair the damaged area by Ming
with crushed gravel. if bare areas are
large, generally greater than 12 Inches
wide, the swale should be re- graded and
re- seeded. For smaller bare areas,
overseed when bare spots are evident, or
take plugs of grass from the upper slope

StormFilter,Inspection and
Maintenance Procedures
.1
Maintenance Guidelines
The primary purpose of the Stormwater Management
StormFilter' is to filter out and prevent pollutants from entering
our waterways. Like any effective filtration system, periodically
these pollutants must be removed to restore the StormFilter to its
full efficiency and effectiveness.
Maintenance requirements and frequency are dependent on the
pollutant load characteristics of each site. Maintenance activities
may be required in the event of a chemical spill or due to
excessive sediment loading from site erosion or extreme storms. it
is a good practice to inspect the system after major storm events.
Maintenance Procedures
Although there are likely many effective maintenance
options: rvre believe'thetfoUowing pro is'"efficien

units should be inspectetafter mapcstorms.
Maintenance Frequency
The primary factor controlling timing of maintenance of the
StormFitter is sediment loading.
A properly functioning system will remove solids from water by
trapping particulates in the porous structure of the filter media
inside the cartridges. The flow through the system will naturally
decrease as more and more particulates are trapped. Eventually
the flow through the cartridges will below enough to require
replacement. It may be possible to extend the usable span of the
