All storm water management facilities shall be designed to minimize the need of maintenance to provide access for maintenance purposes and to be structurally sound. All storm water management facilities shall have a plan of operation and maintenance that assures continued effective removal of pollutants carried in storm water runoff.

The inspection records will be kept on file at the public works department for a period of six years.
