TheOverview GIS map of the City and the attached inventory listingindentifies the subject SWM pond and BMPS {See Attachment B]. Theinventory identifies the affected water shed acreage. The same inventorylisting contains an updating column for the most recent inspection date.All the identified engineered SWM & BMP Ponds will be inspected at leastonce over the course of 5 years, or sooner, or more often as deemednecessary. DPW is committed to perform inspections more that theminimum requirements. DPW will perform special inspections on all theinventoried SWM & BMP’s when a significant weather event occurs, orwhen significant weather events in series occur (storm training).As part of the annual inspections DPW will make contact with storm waterfacility owners and alert them to the deficiencies and requiredcorrections. DPW has established a scale for SWM-Pond MaintenanceGrading Level {for scale ref. see attachment AH}. The grading identifiesthe severity of maintenance from Light [Level 1] to Routine [Level 2] toRough [Level 3] to Structural [Level 4]. The ponds will be rated accordingto the assessment scale. The rating determines when and where and ifDPW will take action. After each new inspection the grade out scaledetermining the category level of maintenance will be provided to eachfacility owner.The SWM facility owners will be identified on the 2011 Edition of the GISOverview Map inventory {see Attachment B}.The Department of Public Works through the City Engineers office,administers to a Land Disturbance Permitting (LDP) program that closely or36
