I <br /> Exhibit B <br /> OPERATION AND MAIDdTENANCE PLAN <br /> ONSITE WATER DETENTION / RETENTION <br /> COOPERATOR: _Padgett Creek LLC DATE : <br /> ADDRESS: 4776 Old Dixie Highway, Vero Beach, FL 32967 <br /> PRACTICE LOCATION : SECTION TOWNSHIP RANGE FIELD NO . <br /> GENERl1I. <br /> A properly operated and maintained onsite water detention/retention system (OWDR) is an asset to <br /> your farm. The OWDR was designed to attenuate both the rate and volume of off-site water and <br /> sediment discharge following heavy storm events. The water may be stored for future use or released <br /> off-site later at reduced discharge rates. <br /> The estimated life span of this system is at least 10 years. The life of this system can be assured and <br /> usually increased by developing and carrying out a good operation and maintenance program <br /> This practice will require you to perform periodic operations to maintain satisfactory performance. <br /> Here are some recommendations to help you develop a:a good operation and maintenance program. <br /> GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Periodic removal of sediment may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness of this OWDR. <br /> Maintain vigorous growth of desirable vegetative cover on the side slopes. This includes re- <br /> seeding, fertilization, and controlled application o9' herbicides when necessary. Periodic mowing <br /> may also be needed to control height. <br /> Immediately repair any vehicular damage that may occur around the OWDR. <br /> Make sure the structure for water control(s) are functional and sediment is not being allowed to <br /> pass through them. <br /> INSPECTIONS <br /> The practice should be inspected routinely and especially after major rainfall events. All items needing <br /> maintenance should be repaired immediately. <br /> VIOLATIONS <br /> Failure to carry out the operation and maintenance required of this practice may result in the <br /> reimbursement of the FDACS cost share dollars used for the installation of this practice. <br /> CONTACT THE INDIAN RIVER SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT FOR <br /> ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE YOU MAY NEED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS <br /> O & M PLAN. <br /> Form date January 2003 <br />
