Exfiltration trenches are similar to [[infiltration trenches]] but differ primarily in the the manner in which stormwater is delivered to the trench.<br>

Runoff enters infiltration trenches directly by infiltration from the surface. In exfiltration systems, surface runoff is collected by drainage [[inlets]] and delivered to the trench via subsurface perforated [[pipes]].

==Inspection and Maintenance==
Routine inspection and maintenance consists of checking and cleaning trash, debris and sediment from [[pretreatment]] devices, [[inlets]] and [[overflow|outlets]] twice a year in the spring and/or late fall, or when pretreatment device sump is half full. Use hydro-vac truck to remove sediment from catch basin sumps, [[ogs|OGS]] and isolated chamber row filter pre-treatment devices. To clean isolated chamber row filters use a vacuum truck equipped with rear-facing jet nozzle for cleaning large diameter pipes or culverts.
Monitoring of storage reservoir water level during and after natural or simulated storm events using the monitoring well should be performed periodically to verify the facility drains within the required drainage time (typically 72 hours). Should be performed as part of inspections following construction or major rehabilitation prior to assumption, and every 15 years at a minimum, to track drainage performance over time and determine when replacement is needed. <br>
