PART Ill—Gutters and Leaders As part of good maintenance procedure, it is recommended that the gutters and leaders be periodically inspected and cleaned. The building drainage system should particularly be inspected during the autumn when falling and blowing leaves and miscellaneous materials can easily clog drain pipes, plug downspouts, and cover inlet grates. Gutters and leaders should also be inspected in the springtime for debris, correct pitch, loose connections, and other various problems that may have occurred over the winter. It is also suggested that the system be examined whenever large storms are predicted. Debris removed from the drainage system should be examined for reuse. That is, it can be separated into trash, recyclables, and organic matter. Organic materials such as leaves and twigs could possibly be composted if there is sufficient room at the site for such activity. Equipment for gutter and leader cleaning could include ladders, “grab” poles, rakes, plumber’s snakes, and garden hoses. Heavy duty rubber or leather work gloves, non- slip work shoes, and protective eyewear are also recommended. PART IV—Inlets Inlets and discharge control devices should be inspected after several storms to ensure that they are functioning properly and that there is no erosion or debris problems developing. Source of sediment contamination should be identified and controlled when native soil is exposed or erosion channels are present. Inspect for sediment and debris buildup. Sediment buildup exceeding 2 inches in depth or that begins to constrict the flow path should be removed. The Inlet control devices should particularly be inspected during the autumn when falling and blowing leaves and miscellaneous materials can easily clog drain pipes, plug downspouts, and cover inlet grates. Clean out leaves, trash, debris, etc. Maintain records of all inspections and maintenance activity. Include estimate of sediment and/or debris removed. Indicate sediment and/or debris disposal methods.
