MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULL DISPERSION
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “full dispersion.”
Full dispersion is a strategy for minimizing the area disturbed by development (i.e., impervious or nonnative pervious surfaces, such as concrete areas, roofs, and lawns) relative to native vegetated areas (e.g., forested surface) together with the application of dispersion techniques that utilize the natural
capacity of the native vegetated areas to mitigate the stormwater runoff quantity and quality impacts of the developed surfaces.
This on-site BMP has two primary components that must be maintained per Appendix A of the City of
Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual:
(1) the devices that disperse runoff from the developed surfaces, and
(2) the native vegetated area and flowpath receiving the dispersed runoff.
Dispersion Devices
The dispersion devices used on your property include the following as indicated on the site
plan (CHECK THE BOX(ES) THAT APPLY):
splash blocks, rock pads, gravel filled trenches, sheet flow.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, composition, and downstream flowpaths of these devices as depicted by the site
plan and design details must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a future development permit from the City of Renton.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Dispersion Devices
• Dispersion devices must be inspected annually and after major storm events to identify and repair any physical defects.
• When native soil is exposed or erosion channels are present, the sources of the erosion or
concentrated flow need to be identified and mitigated.
• Bare spots should be re-vegetated with native vegetation.
• Concentrated flow can be mitigated by leveling the edge of the pervious area and/or regrading
or replenishing the rock in the dispersion device, such as in rock pads and gravel-filled
trenches.
Native Growth Retention Area
• The native vegetated surface required for full dispersion is delineated as a “native growth retention area” on the on-site BMP site plan. The trees, vegetation, ground cover, and soil
conditions in this area may not be disturbed, except as allowed by the following provisions for
that portion of the native growth retention area outside of critical areas and critical area buffers:
1. Individual trees that have a structural defect due to disease or other defects, and which
threaten to damage a structure, road, parking area, utility, or place of employment or
public assembly, or block emergency access, may be topped, pruned, or removed as needed to eliminate the threat.
2. Dead or fallen trees, tree limbs within ten feet of the ground, and branches overhanging a residence may be removed to reduce the danger of wildfire.
3. Noxious weeds (i.e., plant species listed on the State noxious weed list in Chapter 16-750 WAC) and invasive vegetation (i.e., plant species listed as obnoxious weeds on the noxious weed list adopted by King County) may be removed.
4. Passive recreation uses and related facilities, including pedestrian, equestrian community and bicycle trails, nature viewing areas, fishing and camping areas, and other similar uses that do not require permanent structures, are allowed if clearing and soil compaction associated with these uses and facilities does not exceed eight percent of the native growth retention area.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These full dispersion on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as an attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is
to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional
instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual
website for additional information and updates.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULL INFILTRATION
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “full infiltration,” which
was installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the impervious surfaces on your property.
Full infiltration is a method of soaking runoff from impervious area (such as paved areas and roofs)
into the ground. If properly installed and maintained per Appendix A of the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual, full infiltration can manage runoff so that a majority of precipitation events are
absorbed. Infiltration devices, such as gravel filled trenches, drywells, and ground surface depressions,
facilitate this process by putting runoff in direct contact with the soil and holding the runoff long enough to soak most of it into the ground. To be successful, the soil condition around the infiltration
device must be reliably able to soak water into the ground for a reasonable number of years.
Infiltration Devices
The infiltration devices used on your property include the following as indicated on the site
plan (CHECK THE BOX(ES) THAT APPLY):
gravel filled trenches, drywells, ground surface depressions.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, and composition of these devices as depicted by the site plan and design details
must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a future development permit from the City of Renton.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
• Infiltration devices must be inspected annually and after major storm events to identify and
repair any physical defects.
• Maintenance and operation of the system should focus on ensuring the system’s viability by
preventing sediment-laden flows from entering the device. Excessive sedimentation will result
in a plugged or non-functioning facility.
• If the infiltration device has a catch basin, sediment accumulation must be removed on a yearly
basis or more frequently if necessary.
• Prolonged ponding around or atop a device may indicate a plugged facility. If the device
becomes plugged, it must be replaced.
• Keeping the areas that drain to infiltration devices well swept and clean will enhance the
longevity of these devices.
• For roofs, frequent cleaning of gutters will reduce sediment loads to these devices.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These full infiltration on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as an
attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is
to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual
website for additional information and updates.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A RAIN GARDEN
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called a “rain garden,” which was
installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the impervious or
nonnative pervious surfaces on your property.
Rain gardens include vegetated closed depressions (ponds) that retain and filter stormwater from an
area of impervious surface or nonnative pervious surface on your property. The soil in the rain garden
has been enhanced to encourage and support vigorous plant growth that serves to filter the water and sustain infiltration capacity. Depending on soil conditions, the rain garden area may have water in it
throughout the wet season and may overflow during major storm events. This on-site BMP shall be maintained per Appendix A of the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, and design of the rain garden as depicted by the site plan and design details must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a
future development permit from City of Renton. Plant materials may be changed to suit tastes, but
chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be used.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
• Rain gardens must be inspected annually for physical defects and sediment accumulation.
• Rain gardens have inflow and overflow inlets and outlets. These need to be maintained to
ensure that water is moving into and out of the rain garden. Check inlets/outlets for debris/sediment blockage, bare spots (exposed soil), or other signs of erosion damage (soil
movement). Remove debris and obstructions as necessary.
• After major storm events, the system should be checked to see that the overflow system is
working properly and sedimentation is not occurring at the inlet. If erosion damage or bare
spots are evident, they should be stabilized with soil, plant material, mulch, or landscape rock. Sediment deposits should be carefully removed and the sediment source eliminated.
• Plants must be adapted to wet winter conditions and dry summer conditions. Vegetation is to be watered and pruned as needed.
• Frequent watering is required to keep the plants healthy:
o Year 1: weekly,
o Year 2: bimonthly,
o Year 3: bimonthly,
o Year 4 & beyond: as needed for established plantings and dry periods.
• Chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be used.
• Soil must be replaced in areas where sediment accumulation is preventing adequate infiltration
of water through the soil.
• Compacted soil should be decompacted.
• Trash and debris must be removed often from the rain garden depression.
• Mulch must be applied to bare soil at a minimum of 2 inches to maintain healthy growth.
• Compost may be added if soil nutrients are no longer adequate to support plant growth.
• Vegetation should be maintained as follows:
1) Replace all dead vegetation as soon as possible;
2) Remove fallen leaves and debris as needed;
3) Remove all noxious vegetation when discovered;
4) Manually weed without herbicides or pesticides;
5) To protect infiltration performance, do not compact soils in the bioretention cell with heavy
maintenance equipment and/or excessive foot traffic;
6) During drought conditions, use mulch to prevent excess solar damage and water loss.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These rain garden on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as an attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is
to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional
instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A BIORETENTION CELL
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “bioretention,” which was
installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts on both the impervious (paved or
roof) and pervious surfaces (lawn or landscape) on your property.
Bioretention cells, like rain gardens, are vegetated closed depressions or ponds that retain and filter
stormwater from an area of impervious surface or nonnative pervious surface. Bioretention cells rely
on effective infiltration performance more so than rain gardens. The soil in the bioretention cell has been enhanced to encourage and support vigorous plant growth that serves to filter the water and
sustain a minimum infiltration capacity. Depending on soil conditions, bioretention cells may have water in them throughout the wet season and may overflow during major storm events. However, standing water can also be an indicator that periodic maintenance is required to sustain infiltrative
performance. This on-site BMP shall be maintained per Appendix A of the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The size, placement, and design of the rain garden as depicted by the site plan and design details must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a
future development permit from the City of Renton. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be used.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
• Bioretention cells must be inspected annually for physical defects and sediment accumulation.
• Bioretention cells have inflow and overflow inlets and outlets. These need to be maintained to ensure that water is moving into and out of the bioretention area. Check inlets/outlets for debris/sediment blockage, bare spots (exposed soil), or other signs of erosion damage (soil
movement). Remove debris and obstructions as necessary.
• After major storm events, the bioretention cell should be checked to see that the overflow
system is working properly and sedimentation is not occurring at the inlet. If erosion damage
or bare spots are evident, they should be stabilized with soil, plant material, mulch, or landscape rock. Sediment deposits should be carefully removed and the sediment source
eliminated.

o Year 2: bimonthly,
o Year 3: bimonthly,
o Year 4 and beyond: as needed for established plantings and dry periods.
• Chemical fertilizers and pesticides must not be used.
• Bioretention soil must be replaced in areas where sediment accumulation is preventing
adequate infiltration of water through the soil.
• Compacted soil should be decompacted.
• Trash and debris must be removed often from the bioretention depression.
• Mulch must be applied to bare soil at a minimum of 2 inches to maintain healthy growth.
• Compost may be added if soil nutrients are no longer adequate to support plant growth.
• Plant materials may be changed to suit tastes.
• Vegetation should be maintained as follows:

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR VEGETATED PERMEABLE PAVEMENT (GRASSED MODULAR GRID PAVEMENT)
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “grassed modular grid
pavement,” which was installed to minimize the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the paved surfaces on your property.
Grassed modular grid pavement has the runoff characteristics of a lawn while providing the weight-
bearing capacity of concrete pavement. The grassed surface not only minimizes runoff quantity, it
helps to filter pollutants generating by vehicular use of the surface.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The composition and area of grassed modular grid pavement as depicted by the site plan and design details must be maintained and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton
or through a future development permit from the City of Renton.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
• Grassed modular grid pavement must be inspected after one major storm each year to make
sure it is working properly. More frequent inspection is recommended.
• Prolonged ponding or standing water on the pavement surface is a sign that the system is
defective and may need to be replaced. If this occurs, or if any modification, surface restoration or stabilization is planned (except for mowing and periodic maintenance), contact
the pavement installer or the City of Renton for further instructions.
• The grassed surface of the pavement must be regularly mowed and maintained in a good
condition. Bare spots must be replanted in the spring or fall.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These vegetated permeable pavement on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be
recorded as an attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be
maintained and operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual website for additional information and updates.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERMEABLE PAVEMENT (NON-VEGETATED)
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “permeable pavement,”
which was installed to minimize the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the paved surfaces on your property.
Permeable pavements reduce the amount of rainfall that becomes runoff by allowing water to seep
through the pavement into a free-draining gravel or sand bed, where it can be infiltrated into the
ground. This on-site BMP shall be maintained per Appendix A of the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual.
Permeable Pavements
The type(s) of permeable pavement used on your property is (CHECK THE BOX(ES) THAT APPLY):
Porous concrete
Porous asphalt
Permeable pavers
Modular grid pavement
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
The area covered by permeable pavement as depicted by the site plan and design details must be
maintained as permeable pavement and may not be changed without written approval from the City of Renton or through a future development permit from the City of Renton.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
• Permeable pavements must be inspected after one major storm each year to make sure it is
working properly. More frequent inspection is recommended.
• Prolonged ponding or standing water on the pavement surface is a sign that the system is
defective and may need to be replaced. If this occurs, contact the pavement installer or the City
of Renton for further instructions.
• A typical permeable pavement system has a life expectancy of approximately 25 years. To help
extend the useful life of the system, the surface of the permeable pavement should be kept clean, stable and free of leaves, debris, and sediment through regular sweeping or vacuum
sweeping. Aggregate fill in modular grid pavement may need periodic surface replenishment.
• The owner is responsible for the repair of all ruts, deformation, and/or broken paving grids or pavers.
• Modular grid pavement and permeable pavers filled with gravel or with gravel in the joints may need to be refilled periodically.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These permeable pavement on-site BMP maintenance and operation instructions must be recorded as
an attachment to the required declaration of covenant and grant of easement per Requirement 3 of Section C.1.3.4 of the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual. The intent of these instructions is
to explain to future property owners, the purpose of the BMP and how it must be maintained and operated. These instructions are intended to be a minimum; the City of Renton may require additional instructions based on site-specific conditions. See the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual
website for additional information and updates.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR BASIC DISPERSION
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “basic dispersion,” which
was installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the impervious
surfaces or non-native pervious surfaces on your property.
Basic dispersion is a strategy for utilizing any available capacity of onsite vegetated areas to retain,
absorb, and filter the runoff from developed surfaces. This on-site BMP has two primary components
that must be maintained:
(1) The devices that disperse runoff from the developed surfaces and
(2) The vegetated area over which runoff is dispersed.
Dispersion Devices
The dispersion devices used on your property include the following as indicated on the site
plan (CHECK THE BOX(ES) THAT APPLY):
splash blocks, rock pads, gravel filled trenches, sheet flow.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
