OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES For the CDS Technologies Models PMSU, PSW & PSWC CONTINUOUS DEFLECTIVE SEPARATION UNIT Located at INTRODUCTION The CDS unit is an important and effective component of your storm water management program and proper operation and maintenance of the unit are essential to demonstrate your compliance with local, state and federal water pollution control requirements. The CDS technology features a patented non -blocking, indirect screening technique developed in Australia to treat water runoff. The unit is highly effective in the capture of suspended solids, fine sands and larger particles. Because of its non -blocking screening capacity, the CDS unit is un-matched in its ability to capture and retain gross pollutants such as trash and debris. In short, CDS units capture a very wide range of organic and in -organic solids and pollutants that typically result in tons of captured solids each year such as: Total suspended solids (TSS) and other sedimentitious materials, oil and greases, trash, and other debris (including floatables, neutrally buoyant, and negatively buoyant debris). These pollutants will be captured even under very high flow rate conditions. CDS units are equipped with conventional oil baffles to capture and retain oil and grease. Laboratory evaluations show that the CDS units are capable of capturing up to 70% of the free oil and grease from storm water. CDS units can also accommodate the addition of oil sorbents within their separation chambers. The addition of the oil sorbents can ensure the permanent removal of 80% to 90% of the free oil and grease from the storm water runoff. OPERATIONS The CDS unit is a non -mechanical self-operating system and will function any time there is flow in the storm drainage system. The unit will continue to effectively capture pollutants in flows up to the design capacity even during extreme rainfall events when the design capacity may be exceeded. Pollutants captured in the CDS units separation chamber and sump will be retained even when the units design capacity is exceeded. CDS UNIT CLEANOUT The frequency of cleaning the CDS unit will depend upon the generation of trash and debris and sediments in your application. Cleanout and preventive maintenance schedules will be determined based on operating experience unless precise pollutant loadings have been determined. The unit should be periodically inspected to determine the amount of accumulated pollutants and to ensure that the cleanout frequency is adequate to handle the predicted pollutant load being processed by the CDS unit. The recommended cleanout of solids within the CDS units sump should occur at 75% of the sump capacity. However, the sump may be completely full with no impact to the CDS units performance. Access to the CDS unit is typically achieved through two manhole access covers — one allows inspection and cleanout of the separation chamber (screen/cylinder) & sump and another allows inspection and cleanout of sediment captured and retained behind the screen. The PSW & PSWC off-line models have an additional access cover over the weir of the diversion vault For units possessing a sizable depth below grade (depth to pipe), a single manhole access point would allow both sump cleanout and access behind the screen. CDS Technologies Recommends The Following: NEW INSTALLATIONS — Check the condition of the unit after every runoff event for the first 30 days. The visual inspection should ascertain that the unit is functioning properly (no blockages or obstructions to inlet and/or separation screen), measuring the amount of solid materials that have accumulated in the sump, the amount of fine sediment accumulated behind the screen, and determining the amount of floating trash and debris in the separation chamber. This can be done with a calibrated "dip stick' so that the depth of deposition can be tracked. Refer to the "Cleanout Schematic' (Appendix B) for allowable deposition depths and critical distances. Schedules for inspections and cleanout should be based on storm events and pollutant accumulation. ONGOING OPERATION — During the rainfall season, the unit should be inspected at least once every 30 days. The floatables should be removed and the sump cleaned when the sump is 75-85% full. If floatables accumulate more rapidly than the settleable solids, the floatables should be removed using a vector truck or dip net before the layer thickness exceeds one to two feet. Cleanout of the CDS unit at the end of a rainfall season is recommended because of the nature of pollutants collected and the potential for odor generation from the decomposition of material collected and retained. This end of season cleanout will assist in preventing the discharge of pore water from the CDS® unit during summer months. USE OF SORBENTS — It needs to be emphasized that the addition of sorbents is not a requirement for CDS units to effectively control oil and grease from storm water. The conventional oil baffle within a unit assures satisfactory oil and grease removal. However, the addition of sorbents is a unique enhancement capability special to CDS units, enabling increased oil and grease capture efficiencies beyond that obtainable by conventional oil baffle systems. Under normal operations, CDS units will provide effluent concentrations of oil and grease that are less than 15 parts per million (ppm) for all dry weather spills where the volume is less than or equal to the spill capture volume of the CDS unit. During wet weather flows, the oil baffle system can be expected to remove between 40 and 70% of the free oil and grease from the storm water runoff. CDS Technologies only recommends the addition of sorbents to the separation chamber if there are specific land use activities in the catchment watershed that could produce exceptionally large concentrations of oil and grease in the runoff, concentration levels well above typical amounts. If site evaluations merit an increased control of free oil and grease then oil sorbents can be added to the CDS unit to thoroughly address these particular pollutants of concem. Recommended Oil Sorbents Rubberizer® Particulate 8-4 mesh or OARSTM Particulate for Filtration, HPT4100 or equal. Rubberizer® is supplied by Haz-Mat Response Technologies, Inc. 4626 Santa Fe Street, San Diego, CA 92109 (800) 542-3036. OARSTM is supplied by AbTech Industries, 4110 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 235, Scottsdale, AZ 85251 (800) 545-8999. The amount of sorbent to be added to the CDS separation chamber can be determined if sufficient information is known about the concentration of oil and grease in the runoff. Frequently the actual concentrations of oil and grease are too variable and the amount to be added and frequency of cleaning will be determined by periodic observation of the sorbent As an initial application, CDS recommends that approximately 4 to 8 pounds of sorbent material be added to the separation chamber of the CDS units per acre of parking lot or road surface per year. Typically this amount of sorbent results in a % inch to one (1") inch depth of sorbent material on the liquid surface of the separation chamber. The oil and grease loading of the sorbent material should be observed after major storm events. Oil Sorbent material may also be furnished in pillow or boom configurations. The sorbent material should be replaced when it is fully discolored by skimming the sorbent from the surface. The sorbent may require disposal as a special or hazardous waste, but will depend on local and state regulatory requirements. CLEANOUT AND DISPOSAL A vactor truck is recommended for cleanout of the CDS unit and can be easily accomplished in less than 30-40 minutes for most installations. Standard vactor operations should be employed in the cleanout of the CDS unit. Disposal of material from the CDS unit should be in accordance with the local municipality's requirements. Disposal of the decant material to a POTW is recommended. Field decanting to the storm drainage system is not recommended. Solids can be disposed of in a similar fashion as those materials collected from street sweeping operations and catch -basin deanouts. MAINTENANCE The CDS unit should be pumped down at least once a year and a thorough inspection of the separation chamber (inlet/cylinder and separation screen) and oil baffle performed. The unit's intemal components should not show any signs of damage or any loosening of the bolts used to fasten the various components to the manhole structure and to each other. Ideally, the screen should be power washed for the inspection. If any of the intemal components is damaged or if any fasteners appear to be damaged or missing, please contact CDS Technologies to make arrangements to have the damaged items repaired or replaced: CDS Technologies, Inc. Phone, Toll Free: (888) 535-7559 16360 Monterey Road, Suite 250 Fax (408) 782-0721 Morgan Hill, CA 95037-5406 The screen assembly is fabricated from Type 316 stainless steel and fastened with Type 316 stainless steel fasteners that are easily removed and/or replaced with conventional hand tools. The damaged screen assembly should be replaced with the new screen assembly placed in the same orientation as the one that was removed. CONFINED SPACE The CDS unit is a confined space environment and only properly trained personnel possessing the necessary safety equipment should enter the unit to perform particular maintenance and/or inspection activities beyond normal procedure. Inspections of the intemal components can, in most cases, be accomplished by observations from the ground surface. RECORDS OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE CDS Technologies recommends that the owner maintain annual records of the operation and maintenance of the CDS unit to document the effective maintenance of this important component of your storm water management program. The attached Annual Record of Operations and Maintenance form (see Appendix A) is suggested and should be retained for a minimum period of three years.

Inspection Frequency and Replacement The facility should be inspected and inspection visits should be completely documented: • Inspection should occur three times a year at a minimum, • Prior to the "Rainy Season", • After every large storm (after every storm monitored or those storms with more than 0.50 inch of precipitation.) • Filter Medium replacement should occur once a year Inlet Filters shall be serviced on a recurring basis. Ultimately, the frequency depends on the amount of runoff, pollutant loading and interference from debris (leaves, vegetation, cans, paper, etc.). B. Maintenance Frequency and Service Procedures A maintenance frequency and service procedure is required on an emergency or non -routine basis to correct problems and to restore the intended operation and safe function. Guidelines for the timing of service are as follows: • For areas with a defmite rainy season: Prior to, during and following the rainy season. • For areas subject to year-round rainfall: On a recurring basis (at least three times per year). • For areas with winter snow and summer rain: Prior to and just after the snow season and during the summer rain season. • For installed devices not subject to the elements (washracks, parking garages, etc.): On a recurring basis (no less than three times per year). Guidelines for the service procedures are as follows: • The service shall commence with collection and removal of sediment and debris (litter, leaves, papers, cans, etc.) and broom sweeping around the drainage inlet. Accumulated materials shall be placed in a DOT approved container for later disposal. • The catch basin shall be visually inspected for defects and possible illegal dumping. If illegal dumping has occurred, the proper authorities and property owner representative shall be notified as soon as practicable. • The catch basin grate shall be removed and set to one side. Using an industrial vacuum, the collected materials shall be removed from the liner. • When all of the collected materials have been removed, the filter medium pouches shall be removed by unsnapping the tether from the D-ring and set to one side. The filter liner, gaskets, stainless steel frame and mounting brackets, etc. shall be inspected for continued serviceability. Minor damage or defects found shall be corrected on -the -spot and a notation made on the Maintenance Record. More extensive deficiencies that affect the efficiency of the filter (torn liner, etc.), if approved by the customer representative, will be corrected and an invoice submitted to the representative along with the Maintenance Record. • The filter medium pouches shall be inspected for defects and continued serviceability and replaced as necessary and the pouch tethers re -attached to the liner's D-ring. C. Debris and Sediment Disposal Waste generated at Inlet Filters is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner. Disposal of sediment, debris, and trash will comply with applicable local, county, state, and federal waste control programs. During the appropriate service, or if so determined by the service technician during a non-scheduled service, the filter medium pouches will be replaced with new pouches and the exposed pouches placed in the DOT approved container, along with the exposed debris. Once the exposed pouches and debris have been placed in the container, disposal must be in accordance with local, state and federal agency requirements. Note: As the generator, the landowner is ultimately responsible for the proper disposal of the exposed filter medium and debris. Because the materials likely contain petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metal and other harmful pollutants, the materials must be treated as an EPA Class 2 Hazardous Waste and properly disposed of. There are services that can relieve the landowner of the actual disposal task, and provides certification of its completion in accordance with appropriate regulations.
