<strong>Maintenance</strong> Action Required<br />

Oil slicks<br />

Oil spills / inflows are better<br />

trapped and isolated within<br />

a sedimentation basin<br />

than allowed to flow to the<br />

downstream waterway.<br />

No visible oil<br />

Persistent but<br />

limited visible oil<br />

Extensive or<br />

localised thick<br />

layer of oil<br />

visible<br />

Do not isolate sedimentation<br />

basin in the case of an oil<br />

spill - it is better that the oil is<br />

contained within the system<br />

than allowed to flow to the<br />

downstream water course.<br />

Notify the EPA of the spill and<br />

clean-up requirements<br />

NOTE: do not add any fertiliser,<br />

or other nitrogen based product<br />

to the system. The microbes<br />

within the filter media are<br />

capable of decomposing<br />

hydrocarbons.<br />
