Line 266: ==Tips to Preserve Basic BMP Function==*Maintain grading of the filter bed (or [[Vegetated filter strips|grass filter strip]] if present) at [[curb cut]] [[inlets]] so at least 5 cm of the back of the curb is visible through regular sediment removal and regrading.*To avoid over-compaction of the [[Bioretention: Filter media|filter media soil]], any maintenance tasks involving vehicle or foot traffic on the filter bed should not be performed during wet weather.*For bioretention with sod (i.e., [[Turf|turf grass]]) as [[vegetation]] cover, maintain with a push mower or the lightest mulching ride mower available and core aerate and dethatch annually in the spring to help maintain permeability.*Pruning of mature [[trees]] should be performed under the guidance of a Certified Arborist.*Woody [[vegetation]] should not be planted or allowed to become established where snow will be piled/stored during [[Winter]].*Removal of sediment from the filter bed surface should be done with rake and shovel, or vacuum equipment to minimize plant disturbance. If a small excavator is to be used, keep it off the BMP footprint to avoid damage to side slopes/embankments and over-compaction of the [[filter media]].
