General Description
The following general specifications describe the general operations and maintenance
requirements for the Contech Engineered Solutions LLC stormwater bioretention filtration system,
the Filterra'�. The system utilizes physical, chemical and biological mechanisms of a soil, plant and
microbe complex to remove pollutants typically found in urban stormwater runoff,The treatment
system is a fully equipped, pre-constructed drop-in place unit designed for applications in the
urban landscape to treat contaminated runoff.
Stormwater flows through a specially designed filter media mixture contained in a landscaped
concrete container.The mixture immobilizes pollutants which are then decomposed, volatilized and
incorporated into the biomass of the Filterra" system's micro/macro fauna and flora. Stormwater
runoff flows through the media and into an underdrain system at the bottom of the container,
where the treated water is discharged. Higher flows bypass the Filterra�to a downstream inlet or
outfall. Maintenance is a simple, inexpensive and safe operation that does not require confined
space access, pumping or vacuum equipment or specialized tools. Properly trained landscape
personnel can effectively maintain Filterra°Stormwater systems by following instructions in this
manual.

Maintenance Visit Summary
Each maintenance visit consists of the following simple tasks(detailed instructions below).
1. Inspection of Filterra0and surrounding area
2, Removal of tree grate and erosion control stones
3. Removal of debris, trash and mulch
4. Mulch replacement
5. Plant health evaluation and pruning or replacement as necessary
b. Clean area around Filterra0
7. Complete paperwork
Maintenance Tools, Safety Equipment and Supplies
Ideal tools include; camera, bucket,shovel, broom, pruners, hoe/rake, and tape measure,
Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)should be used in accordance with local or
company procedures,This may include impervious gloves wherethetype oftrash isunknown,high
visibility clothing and barricades when working in close proximitytotraffic and also safety hats
and shoes,A T-Bar or crowbar should be used for moving the tree grates(up to 170 Ibs ea,), Most
visits require minor trash removal and a full replacement of mulch. See below for actual nurnber
of bagged mulch that is required in each unit size. Mulch should be a double shredded,
hardwood variety; do not use colored or dyed mulch, Some visits may require additional Filterra0
