Oil and Grit Separators are suitable as pre-treatment to other downstream treatment systems such as ponds or LID features.  Cost effective application of OGS for LID typically requires that the practice have a single [[inlet]] with a drainage area larger than 0.2 ha.

OGS normally require maintenance every year to function as designed.  The cost and level of effort required to undertake the maintenance program over the full life cycle of the practice should be carefully considered when implementing this water quality treatment solution.

Further guidance on how the data and information generated from verified laboratory testing of OGS technologies should be interpreted and factored into regulatory agency approvals and procurement decisions for stormwater management is provided in this [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2023/07/SETV-Guidance-PAS-2023-07-27-English.pdf Publicly Available Specification - '''The Canadian Procedure for Field Testing of Stormwater
