Filterra Activation Package | Page 1
* UNPREPARED SITE FEE NOTE: A charge of $1500.00 will be invoiced for each activation visit requested by customer where Contech determines that the site does not meet the conditions required for Activation AND/OR acceptable plants are not provided by the contractor. ONLY Contech authorized representatives can perform Activation of Filterra systems; unauthorized activations will void the system warranty and waive manufacturer supplied activation and final inspection.

The Filterra system will be (or has been) delivered to you with protection in place to resist intrusion of construction related sediment which can contaminate the biofiltration media and result in inadequate system performance. These protection devices are intended as a best practice and cannot fully prevent contamination. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to provide adequate measures to prevent construction related runoff from entering the Filterra system.

Included with your purchase is Activation of the Filterra system by the manufacturer as well as a 1-year warranty from delivery of the system and a Final Site Assessment (assessment of unit condition, mulch replacement, debris removal, and pruning of vegetation) scheduled between 6 months and 1 year after Activation, upon request.

Activation of the Filterra system is a procedure completed by the manufacturer to place the system into working condition. This involves the following items:
• Removal of construction runoff protection devices
• Planting of the system’s vegetation (provided by the purchaser) • Placement of pretreatment mulch layer using mulch acceptable for use in Filterra systems.

Activation MUST be provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper site conditions are met for Activation, proper installation of the vegetation, and use of pretreatment mulch acceptable for use in Filterra systems. The purchaser should request Activation from Contech after the site is stabilized, but prior to turning over the site to the owner. Please allow 1-2 weeks to schedule Activation.

The purchaser must ensure that the site is acceptable for Filterra Activation. A checklist (included as page 3 of this document must be completed and submitted to the Contech Activation Coordinator. The minimum 4 requirements for Filterra Activation are as follows:

1. The purchaser must have sourced vegetation meeting the requirements outlined in “Plant Selection for Filterra Systems” starting on page 4 of this document.

ONLY Contech authorized representatives can perform Activation of Filterra systems; unauthorized activations will void the system warranty and waive manufacturer supplied activation and final inspection.

2. The site landscaping must be fully stabilized, i.e. full landscaping installed and some grass cover (not just straw and seed) is required to reduce sediment transport. Construction debris and materials should be removed from surrounding area.

3. Final paving must be completed. Final paving ensures that paving materials will not enter and contaminate the Filterra system during the paving process, and that the plant will receive runoff from the drainage area, assisting with plant survival for the Filterra system.

4. Where curb inlets are included as part of the Filterra system, Filterra throat opening should be at least 4” clear in order to ensure adequate capacity for inflow and debris.

Planting Selection for Filterra® Vault Systems
All Filterra systems require vegetation for proper long-term performance. As indicated in the Activation Package, the Contractor is responsible for sourcing the proper vegetation prior to Activation. Contech or a Contech representative will install the vegetation during the Activation process.

Contractors should identify the Top Opening style for each Filterra requiring Activation on the Activation Checklist. Contech offers three types, which are detailed on page 5 of this document:
• Vault with Tree Grate
• Vault with Full Grate
• Bioscape / Open Planter
Contractors must ensure the vegetation meets the following 4 requirements:

1. Select plant(s) as specified in the engineering plans and specifications AND that are listed on Contech’s Configuration Specific Plant Lists**.

2. All plants MUST be container-grown in nursery containers no larger than 15 gallons. Crated and/or Ball/Burlap plants are NOT permitted.

3. For Vaults with Tree Grates, plant height must be 4’ Minimum, from soil surface to top of plant.

4. Provide plant quantities per the following guidance:
• Vault with Tree Grate – 1 per Tree Grate
• Vault with Full Grate – 4-5 Small or Extra Small Grasses per Full Grate • Bioscape – Quantities should be selected based on plant palette options found starting on page 6 of this document.

If Contech or Contech’s representative shows up for Activation and any of the 4 requirements above are not met, Activation cannot be performed and the Contractor will be billed a $1,500 Unprepared Site fee*.

Some additional vegetation recommendations for the best possible Activation and Installation are as follows:
• Select plant(s) with full root development but not to the point where root bound. • For Filterra systems with a Tree Grate, select plants with taller trunks. Lower branches can be pruned away provided there are sufficient branches above the grate for tree or shrub development. • For Filterra systems with a Tree Grate, plant(s) should have a single trunk at installation. • Plant species shall not have a mature height greater than 30 feet. ** In some cases, Contech may consider alternate plant species as approved by the Product Manager. Please list the plant name in the space below and submit this sheet to your Contech Activation Coordinator. If the plant species is approved, either the Product Manager or the Activation Coordinator will sign the form and return to you for inclusion with your Activation Checklist.

Appendix 2 – Filterra® Tree Grate Opening Expansion Procedure The standard grates used on all Filterra configurations that employ Tree Grates are fabricated with a 6” opening that is designed with a breakaway section that can be removed, allowing the grate opening to be expanded to 12” as the tree matures and the trunk widens.

The following tools are required to expand the opening:
• Mini sledgehammer (3 lb. or greater)
• Safety Glasses / Goggles
The following guidelines should be followed to properly expand the tree opening from 6” to 12”:

1. Remove the grate from the Filterra frame, place it flat on a hard surface, and support the grate by stepping on the edge or using other weighted items such as a few mulch bags if this is being done during a Filterra maintenance event. Put on safety glasses/goggles. Align the mini sledgehammer as shown in the figure to the left. The head of the sledgehammer should be aimed just inside the wide cast iron bar between the larger grate section and the breakaway section.

2. Repeatedly hit the grate at this spot with the mini sledgehammer.

3. After several hits, the breakaway section should snap cleanly off of the larger grate section. Reinstall the grate into the Filterra grate frame. Recycle or dispose of the breakaway section per local guidelines.

hydrocarbon removal when required
FlexStorm Pure Inlet Filters Specification
Material and Performance
The filter is comprised of a stainless steel frame and a replaceable geotextile filter bag attached to the frame with a stainless steel locking band. The filter bag hangs suspended below the grate that shall allow full bypass flow into the drainage structure if the bag is completely filled with sediment. The standard woven polypropylene "FX" filters bags are rated for 200 gpm/sqft with a removal efficiency of 82% when filtering a USDA Sandy Loam sediment load. The post-construction PCP filter bags are rated for 137 gpm/sqft and have been third-party tested at 99% TSS removal.

Installation

1. Remove the grate from the inlet.

2. Clean debris from the ledges of the inlet.

3. Place the inlet filter onto the load bearing ledges of the structure.

4. Replace the grate and confirm it is not elevated more than 1/s" (3 mm).

Frequency of Inspections

1. Inspection should occur following rain events greater than½" (13 mm).

2. Filter inspections should occur a minimum of three times per year, and in snowfall affected regions, inspections prior to and after snowfall season.

3. Industrial application site inspections (loading ramps, wash racks & maintenance facilities) to be scheduled on a recurring basis no less than four times per year or as needed.

Maintenance Guidelines

1. Empty the filter bag manually or by industrial vacuum taking care not to damage the geotextile bag when more than half filled or during scheduled inspection period.

2. Remove compacted silt from sediment bag and flush with medium spray.

3. "PCP" style bags should be pressed or wrung to recover retained oils.

4. Oil skimmer pouches solidify and darken when saturated, indicating time for replacement.

5. Dispose of all oil-contaminated products and recovered oils in accordance with EPA guidelines. Oil skimmer pouches, since a solidifier, will not leach and can be disposed of directly.

6. Inspect and replace bag if torn or punctured.

Filter Bag Replacement

1. Remove the bag by loosening or cutting off clamping band.

2. Take the new correctly sized sediment bag and secure hose clamping band to the frame channel as previously removed.

3. Ensure bag is secure and there is no slack around perimeter.

ONLY Contech authorized representatives can perform Activation of Filterra systems; unauthorized activations will void the system warranty and waive manufacturer supplied activation and final inspection.

2.The site landscaping must be fully stabilized, i.e. full landscaping installed and some grass cover (not just straw and seed) is required to reduce sediment transport. Construction debris and materials should be removed from surrounding area.

3.Final paving must be completed. Final paving ensures that paving materials will not enter and contaminate the Filterra system during the paving process, and that the plant will receive runoff from the drainage area, assisting with plant survival for the Filterra system.

4.Where curb inlets are included as part of the Filterra system, Filterra throat opening should be at least 4” clear in order to ensure adequate capacity for inflow and debris.
