Minimum Requirements
The minimum requirements for Filterra® Bioscape®Activation are as follows:
1. The purchaser must have sourced vegetation meeting the requirements outlined in the Filterra® Bioscape°
Activation Package
2. A pre -construction meeting is required to discuss site requirements, logistics planning and activation FAQ
and red flags.
3. The site landscaping must be fully stabilized, i.e. full landscaping installed and some grass cover (not just
straw and seed) is required to reduce sediment transport. Construction debris and materials should be
removed from surrounding area.
4. Final paving must be completed. Final paving ensures that paving materials will not enter and contaminate
the Filterra® system during the paving process, and that the plant will receive runoff from the drainage area,
assisting with plant survival for the Filterra® system.
5. All immediate upstream and downstream structures should be placed with piping into the system already
installed for connection during activation.
An Activation Checklist is included in the Filterra® Bioscape® Activation Package to ensure proper conditions
are met for Activation. A charge of $1500.00 will be invoiced for each Supervised Activation visit requested by
Customer where Contech determines that the site does not meet the conditions required for Activation.
Filterra Plant Selection Overview
A Plant List is available on the Contech website highlighting recommended plants for Filterra® Bioscape®
systems in your area. Keep in mind that plants are subject to availability due to seasonality. Plants installed
in the Filterra® Bioscape® system shall be container -grown plants (max 15 gallon) from nursery stock and will
be immature in height and spread at Activation. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide adequate
irrigation when necessary to the plant of the Filterra® Bioscape® system. The "Filterra® Bioscape® Activation
Package" document is included as an appendix and discusses proper selection of the plants within Filterra®
Bioscape® systems.
Warranty Overview
Refer to the Contech® Engineered Solutions LLC Stormwater Treatment System LIMITED WARRANTY for
further information. The following conditions may void the Filterra® Bioscape® system's warranty and waive
the manufacturer provided Final Site Assessment (if applicable):
• Unauthorized activation or performance of any of the items listed in the activation overview without
Contech supervision or input
• Removal of any Filterra® system components
• Failure to prevent construction related runoff from entering the Filterra® system
• Failure to properly store and protect any Filterra® components (including media and underdrain stone) that
are shipped separately to the site
Routine Maintenance Guidelines
With proper routine maintenance, the biofiltration media within the Filterra® Bioscape® system should last as
Long as traditional bioretention media. Routine maintenance can be provided by certified maintenance
providers listed on the Contech website. Training can also be provided to other stormwater maintenance or
Landscape providers.

Filtera Bioscape
Why Maintain?
All stormwater treatment systems require maintenance for effective operation. This necessity is often
incorporated in your property's permitting process as a legally binding BMP maintenance agreement. Other
reasons to maintain are:
• Avoiding legal challenges from your jurisdiction's maintenance enforcement program.
• Prolonging the expected lifespan of your Filterra® media.
• Avoiding more costly media replacement.
• Helping reduce pollutant loads leavingyour property.
Simple maintenance of the Filterra® Bioscape® is required to continue effective pollutant removal from
stormwater runoff before discharge into downstream waters. This procedure will also extend the longevity of
the living biofilter system. The unit will recycle and accumulate pollutants within the biomass, but is also
subjected to other materials entering the inlet. This may include trash, silt and leaves etc. which will be
contained above the mulch layer. Too much silt may inhibit the Filterra's flow rate, which is the reason for site
stabilization before activation. Regular replacement of the mulch stops accumulation of such sediment.
When to Maintain?
Maintenance visits are typically scheduled seasonally; the springvisit aims to clean up afterwinter loads
including salts and sands while the fall visit helps the system by removing excessive leaf litter.
It has been found that in regions which receive between 30-50 inches of annual rainfall, (2) two visits are
generally recommended; In regions with less rainfall often only (1) one visit per annum is sufficient. Varying
Land uses can affect maintenance frequency; e.g. some fast food restaurants require more frequent trash
removal. Contributing drainage areas which are subject to new development wherein the recommended
erosion and sediment control measures have not been implemented may require additional maintenance
visits.
Some sites may be subjected to extreme sediment or trash loads, requiring more frequent maintenance
visits. This is the reason for detailed notes of maintenance actions per unit, helping the Manufacturer and
Owner predict future maintenance frequencies, reflecting individual site conditions.
Owners must promptly notify the maintenance provider of any damage to the plant(s), which constitute(s) an
integral part of the bioretention technology.
Exclusion of Services
Clean up due to major contamination such as oils, chemicals, toxic spills, etc. will result in additional costs
and are not included as part of the Final Site Assessment (if applicable). Should a major contamination event
occur the Owner must block off the outlet pipe of the Filterra® (where the cleaned runoff drains to, such as
drop inlet) and block off the throat of the Filterra®. The Supplier should be informed immediately.

Plant Care for Filterra® Systems
After Activation, the Contractor is responsible for proper care of the vegetation until the site is handed over to
the Owner. After that, it is the Site Owner's responsibility to care for the vegetation. Contech recommends
the following care for the plants:
1. To prevent transplant shock (especially if planting takes place in the hot season), it may be necessary to
prune some of the foliage to compensate for reduced root uptake capacity. This is accomplished by pruning
away some of the smaller secondary branches or a main scaffold branch if there are too many. Too much
foliage relative to the root ball can dehydrate and damage the plant.
2. Plant staking may be required.
3. With all trees/shrubs, remove dead, diseased, crossed/rubbing, sharply crotched branches or branches
growing excessively long or in wrong direction compared to majority of branches.
4. Contech recommends irrigation of the Filterra® Vegetation. The following guidance will help to ensure the
vegetation is properly irrigated.
Irrigation Recommendations:
• Each Filterra® system must receive adequate irrigation to ensure survival of the living system during periods
of drier weather.
• Irrigation sources include rainfall runoff from downspouts and/or gutter flow, applied water through the tree
grate or in some cases from an irrigation system with emitters installed during construction.
• At Activation: Apply about one (cool climates) to two (warm climates) gallons of water per inch of trunk
diameter over the root ball.
• During Establishment: In common withal[ plants, each Filterra® plant will require more frequent watering
during the establishment period. One inch of applied water per week for the first three months is
recommended for cooler climates (2 to 3 inches for warmer climates). If the system is receiving rainfall runoff
from the drainage area, then irrigation may not be needed. Inspection of the soil moisture content can be
evaluated by gently brushing aside the mulch Layer and feeling the soil. Be sure to replace the mulch when
the assessment is complete. Irrigate as needed**.
• Established Plants: Established plants have fully developed root systems and can access the entire water
column in the media. Therefore irrigation is less frequent but requires more applied waterwhen performed.
For a mature system assume 3.5 inches of available water within the media matrix. Irrigation demand can be
Instrument Number: 20260618000994 Document:COV Rec: S323.50 Page-12 of 21
Record Date:6/18/2026 4:23 PM King County, WA
Filtera Bioscape
estimated as 1" of irrigation demand per week. Therefore if dry periods exceed 3 weeks, irrigation may be
required.
** Five gallons per square yard approximates 1 inch of water. Therefore for a 6' x 6 foot Filterra® approximately
20-60 gallons of applied water is needed. To ensure even distribution of water it needs to be evenly sprinkled
over the entire surface of the filter bed, with special attention to make sure the root ball. is completely wetted.
NOTE: if needed, measure the time it takes to fill a five gallon bucket to estimate the applied water flow rate.
Then calculate the time needed to irrigate the Filterra®, For example is the flow rate of the sprinkler is 5
gallons/minute then it would take 12 minutes to irrigate a 6'x6' filter.
Plant Replacement:
In some cases, plants will require replacement. Please follow the procedures below to ensure a properly
functioning Filterra® system.
1. Remove the existing plant, and Leave as much of the Filterra® media in place as possible.
2. Select a replacement per the Filterra® Bioscape® Activation Package.
3. Prior to removingthe plant from the container, ensure the soil moisture is sufficient to maintain the
integrity of the root ball. If needed, pre -wet the container plant.
4. Cut away any roots which are growing out of the container drain holes.
5. Plant(s) should be carefully removed from the pot by gently pounding on the sides of the container with the
fist to Loosen root ball. Then carefully slide out. Do not lift plant(s) by trunk as this can break roots and cause
soil to fall off. Extract the root ball in a horizontal position and support it to prevent it from breaking apart.
Alternatively, the pot can be cut away to minimize root ball disturbance.
6. Excavate a hole with a diameter 4" greater than the root ball, gently place the plant(s).
7. Plant the tree/shrub/grass with the top of the root ball 1" above surrounding media to allow for settling.
8. ALl plants should have the main stem centered in the tree grate (where applicable) upon completion of
installation.
9. Reinstall or add mulch to a depth of 3" per Contech's mulch specifications for Filterra® systems.

9m Inspection and Maintenance
9M Isolator Row Plus Inspection
Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to assure a properly
functioning stormwater system. Inspection is easily accomplished through
the manhole or optional inspection ports of an Isolator Row Plus. Please
follow local and OSHA rules for a confined space entry.
Inspection ports can allow inspection to be accomplished completely from the surface without the need for a
con- fined space entry. Inspection ports provide visual access to the system with the use of a flashlight. A
stadia rod may be inserted to determine the depth of sediment. If upon visual inspection it is found that
sediment has accumulated to an average depth exceeding 3" (76 mm), cleanout is required.
A StormTech Isolator Row Plus should initially be inspected immediately after completion of the site's
construction. While every effort should be made to prevent sediment from entering the system during
construction, it is during this time that excess amounts of sediments are most Likely to enter any stormwater
system. Inspection and maintenance, if necessary, should be performed prior to passing responsibility over
to the site's owner. Once in normal service, a StormTech Isolator Row Plus should be inspected bi-annually
until an understanding of the sites characteristics is developed. The site's maintenance manager can then
revise the inspection schedule based on experience or local requirements.
9LM Isolator Row Plus Maintenance
JetVac maintenance is recommended if sediment has been collected to an average depth of 3" (76 mm)
inside the Isolator Row Plus. More frequent maintenance may be required to maintain minimum flow rates
through the Isolator Row Plus. The JetVac process utilizes a high pressure water nozzle to propel itself down
the Isolator Row Plus while scouring and suspending sediments. As the nozzle is retrieved, a wave of
suspended sediments is flushed back into the manhole for vacuuming. Most sewer and pipe maintenance
companies have vacuum/ JetVac combi- nation vehicles. Fixed nozzles designed for culverts or large
diameter pipe cleaning are preferable. Rear facingjets with an effective spread of at least 45" (1143 mm) are
best. StormTech recommends a maximum nozzle pressure of 2000 psi be utilized during cleaning. The JetVac
process shall only be performed on StormTech Rows that have ADS Plus fabric over the foundation stone.
A Ramp (flared end ramp) is attached to the inlet pipe on the inside of the chamber end cap to provide a
smooth transition from pipe invert to fabric bottom. It is configured to improve chamber function
performance over time by distributing sediment and debris that would otherwise collect at the inlet. It also
serves to improve the fluid and solid flow back into the inlet pipe during maintenance and cleaning, and to
guide cleaning and inspection equipment back into the inlet pipe when complete.
