*'''[[Inspections and maintenance|Inspection and maintenance frequency]]''': Routine inspections and maintenance are needed to assess and resolve issues, such as [[Sedimentation|sediment]] buildup. [[Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Repair|Frequency of visits]] depends on a variety of factors. LID BMP designs should include safe access for maintenance and inspection crews and confined space entry procedures should be considered for subsurface systems. [[Monitoring]] should also be undertaken to assess function.

*'''Sediment removal''': Filters can become [[clogging|clogged]] with sediment, organic material, and trash, reducing flow capacity and treatment performance. When solid particles form a film on the filter's surface or accumulate within the media channels, higher pressure is needed to drive stormwater through the filter. Eventually, a point is reached at which flow through the treatment system must be redirected to another flow path (usually a bypass within or upstream of the system). Regular vacuuming or manual removal of accumulated materials is commonly required.

*'''[[Sorptive media|Media]] replacement''': Filter bed media can lose effectiveness over time due to clogging, chemical saturation, erosion, animal burrows, and compaction. Media may need to be replaced, regraded, or core aerated.

*'''[[overflow|Overflow bypass functionality]]''': Ensure bypass structures are functioning to prevent flooding or erosion when filters are clogged or overwhelmed by large runoff events.
