1 Misunderestimating Maintenance: An empirical approach to quantify maintenance expectations for BMPs James Houle, CPSWQ, UNH Stormwater Center University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH

2 Imagine the Ultimate System Low Cost and NO Maintenance Ever! It Cleans! It Disinfects! It Will Get eliminating everything in it s path since 1776 You the Job! 2

3 The Maintenance Myth

4 Bioretention Parking Lot Retrofit, Durham, NH

5 TSS Pollutant (per year) Amount 179 lbs. Cigarette Butts 4,392 Misc. Trash 752

6 Maintenance Activity Minimum Frequency Estimated Time Commitment Number of Employees Inspection Clean Pretreatment Trash Screens and Pick Up Trash in system 2 times per year 1 time per month on average 30 minutes taking time to fill out checklist in UNHSC document minutes per visit 1 Spring Cleaning 1 time per year 4 hours 2 Total personnel hours per year: hours Estimated $1,500 $2,000 (30,000 sf of IC Treated)

7 LID in 2006

8 LID in Now

9 1,000 Pound Gorilla Who has primary responsibility for maintenance? Most local governments or public agencies haven t figured it out yet? States and the Federal Government hasn t figured it out yet? Private property owners and associations haven t figured it out yet?

10 HWG, 2011

11 Often Maintenance only occurs when there is failure There is a perception that LID systems require more maintenance Some claim LID systems fail and will require expensive repairs Our current practices have a high degree of failure and significant cost impacts however we are familiar with it What is Maintenance

12 Crack sealing CB cleaning Filling pot holes Resetting curbs Landscape maintenance beatification of street-scape Culver reinforcement/replacement/renewal Pipe lining/repair All of which can be reduced or duplicated by green infrastructure

13 Factors that impact maintenance costs Inspection frequency Required routine maintenance (frequency and complexity). Specialized equipment and speculative unknowns Non-routine and rehabilitative maintenance Regulatory climate Extreme storms The fudge factor

14

15 Critical components of a best- case scenario: 1. Appropriate Design 2. Installation. Then Maintenance

37 Conclusions All advanced stormwater systems require maintenance LID maintenance is often simple, low cost consistent with standard landscaping practices Estimations based on % of capital costs are not reliable Consider requiring permanent sureties Fine filter media systems may have reduced service life due to clogging easily serviced sand filters and bioretention Every site and system is different The more system maintenance can be standardize the lower the anticipated maintenance costs.
