|*At [[inlets]] remove [[stone]] and use vacuum equipment or rake and shovel to remove sediment. For large areas or BMPs, use of a small excavator may be preferable. Restore grades with filter media that meets design specifications. Test surface infiltration rate (one test for every 25 m2 of filter bed area) to confirm it is > 25 mm/h. Replace [[stone]], [[mulch]] and [[vegetation]] coverage (re-use/transplant where possible). If problem persists, add [[pretreatment]] device(s) or investigate the source(s).

|*Remove sediment as described above. Core aerate (for sodded bioretention); or remove stone, sediment, mulch, and plant cover and till the exposed filter media to a depth of 20 cm; or remove and replace the uppermost 15 cm of material with filter media that meets specifications. Test surface infiltration rate (one test for every 25 m2 of filter bed area) to confirm it is > 25 mm/h. Replace stone, mulch and plants (re-use/ transplant where possible).

|*Regrade damaged portion by raking and replant or restore [[mulch]]/[[stone]] cover. Animal burrows, sink holes and compacted areas should be tilled to 20 cm depth prior to re-grading. If problems persist, consider adding flow spreading device to prevent [[erosion]] or barriers to discourage foot or vehicular traffic.
