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 SOIL AMENDMENT
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called “soil amendment,” which
was installed to mitigate the stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the pervious
surfaces on your property.
Soil amendment is a method of regaining greater stormwater functions in the post development
landscape by increasing treatment of pollutants and sediments, and minimizing the need for some
landscaping chemicals. To be successful, the soil condition must be able to soak water into the ground for a reasonable number of years. 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 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
To be successful, the soil must be able to soak water into the ground for a reasonable number of years.
• Return leaf fall and shredded woody materials from the landscape to the site when possible in order to replenish soil nutrients and structure.
• On turf areas, “grasscycle” (mulch-mow or leave the clippings) to build turf health.
• Maintain 2 to 3 inches of mulch over bare areas in landscape beds.
• Re-seed bare turf areas until the vegetation fully covers the ground surface.
• Avoid using pesticides (bug and weed killers) which damage the soil.
• Where fertilization is needed (mainly turf and annual flower beds), a moderate fertilization program should be used which relies on compost, natural fertilizers, or slow-release synthetic balanced fertilizers.
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These 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 VEGETATED ROOFS
Your property contains an on-site BMP (best management practice) called a “vegetated roof,” which
was installed to minimize the stormwater runoff impacts of the impervious surfaces on your property.
Vegetated roofs (also called green roofs) consist of a pervious growing medium, plants, and a moisture barrier. The benefits of this device are a reduction in runoff peaks and volumes due to the storage
capabilities of the soil and increased rate of evapotranspiration. This on-site BMP shall be maintained
per Appendix A of the City of Renton’s Surface Water Design Manual.
MAINTENANCE RESTRICTIONS
• The composition and area of vegetated roof 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.
• Vegetated roofs must not be subject to any use that would significantly compact the soil.
INSPECTION FREQUENCY AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Vegetated roofs (also called green roofs) consist of a pervious growing medium, plants, and a moisture
barrier:
• Vegetated roofs must be inspected annually for physical defects and to make sure the vegetation is in good condition.
• If erosion channels or bare spots are evident, they should be stabilized with additional soil similar to the original material.
• A supplemental watering program may be needed the first year to ensure the long-term survival of the roof's vegetation.
• Vegetation should be maintained as follows:
(1) Vegetated roofs must not be subject to any use that would significantly compact the soil;
(2) Replace all dead vegetation as soon as possible;
(3) Remove fallen leaves and debris;
(4) Remove all noxious vegetation when discovered;
(5) Manually weed without herbicides or pesticides
RECORDING REQUIREMENT
These vegetated roof 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.
