Recognizing that maintenance is an integral function of the MTD, provide the following:
amount of runoff treated, the water quality of the runoff, and what is the expected
maintenance frequency for this MTD in Virginia, per year? Maintenance requirements of
the BaySeparators are a direct function of pollutant load in the runoff treated by the
device. Typically the BaySeparators are maintained once every 3-5yrs, but more or less
frequently dependent upon the loads generated from the specific site.
Total life expectancy of MTD when properly operated in Virginia and, if relevant, life
expectancy of media: 100+ years when properly maintained and restored to new
condition (vacuumed and cleaned primary and secondary structural compartments)
For media or amendments functioning based on cation exchange or adsorption, how long
will the media last before breakthrough (indicator capacity is nearly reached) occurs? Not
applicable for the BaySeparator Unit, as there is no media.
For media or amendments functioning based on cation exchange or adsorption, how has
the longevity of the media or amendments been quantified prior to breakthrough (attach
necessary performance data or documents)? Not applicable for the BaySeparator Unit, as
there is no media.
Is the maintenance procedure and/or are materials/components proprietary?
Yes, proprietary
No, not proprietary
Maintenance complexity (check all that apply):
Confined space training required for maintenance
7
Liquid pumping and transportation
Specify method: Standard Vactor Truck
Solids removal and disposal
Specify method: Conventional landfill
Other noteworthy maintenance parameter (describe):
11. Comments
Include any additional explanations or comments: The BaySeparator collects the fine
sediments and floatable pollutants including trash and debris offline, thereby preventing
resuspension of collected pollutants. In addition, with full visibility and access to all
pollutants from the surface during maintenance, the BaySeparator provides assurances
that maintenance is complete and quick.
Baysaver Technologies most often offers the BaySeparator in the dual manhole
configuration, but can fabricate a single cell version (XK, SV, and FS versions) upon
request.

BaySaver Separation System
Applicant Information:
BaySaver Technologies, Inc.1302 Rising Ridge RoadUnit 1Mount Airy, MD 21771800-229-7283
Technology Description:
A description of the BaySaver Separation System is reproduced from the New JerseyCorporation for Advanced Technology (NJCAT) verification report as follows:
The BaySaver system is hydraulically designed to use gravitationalseparation as a means of capturing sediments, and free floating oils, trash,and debris. The dual settling chambers and the internal flow splitter act intandem to provide different levels of treatment for different runoffintensities. Coarse sediments are removed in the first structure, and finersediments and floating pollutants are removed and trapped in the second.This is the case during the periods of low flow that comprise the majorityof storm events.During more intense storms, water is pushed up the T-pipes from belowthe surface in the first manhole. This water is free of floatable pollutantsand large suspended sediments. At moderate flow rates, the T-pipesconvey water from the center of the first manhole and discharge it directlydownstream. Operating in conjunction with the T-pipes, influent water isdiverted into the second manhole by the surface skimming trapezoidalweir. In this manner, the BaySaver Separation System continues to removefine sediments and floatable pollutants in the second manhole as flow ratesincrease throughout the system.The BaySaver Separator Unit includes an internal bypass that conveyshigh energy flows directly downstream. Bypass mode is effective when
- 2 -
the flow rates begin approaching the peak design flow. By bypassingextreme flows, the BaySaver Separator Unit prevents the re-suspensionand discharge of the pollutants that are already trapped within the system.
The BaySaver Separation System is a versatile and flexible BMP devicethat can be retrofitted into existing storm drains or incorporated into newand existing developments. These systems can be used to improve thequality of stormwater runoff from high traffic areas, to contain potentialoil spills, as a pretreatment step in a treatment train, and for otherapplications.
Figure 1. BaySaver Separation System
New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology Verified Claim:
The BaySaver Separator Model 1K provides 51% Suspended-Sediment Concentration (SSC) removal efficiency (as per NJDEPtreatment efficiency calculation methodology) for laboratorysimulated stormwater runoff with an average influent concentrationof 205 mg/L and an average d50 particle size of 85 microns. SSCremoval testing was conducted with sediment pre-loaded in the lowerchamber to 50% sediment capacity for the 1K unit.
Technology Limitations/Concerns:
Since the overall efficiency removal was only demonstrated at 51%, the NJDEP feelsthat a design safety factor is required, which is addressed in the certification sectionbelow.
Lack of maintenance may cause the system to operate at a reduced efficiency andeventually fill with sediment. Therefore, inspections of accumulated pollutants shouldbe performed as recommended by the manufacturer. Inspections would need to beconducted more frequently in the winter where sanding operations may lead to rapidaccumulations.

NJDEP Conditional Interim Certification:
Based on the demonstrated laboratory performance, NJDEP acknowledges that theBaySaver Separator Model 1K has the capability of achieving in field applications, at aminimum, a TSS removal efficiency of 50%, providing that the manhole diameter isincreased. Therefore, NJDEP certifies that the BaySaver Separator Model 1K iscapable of achieving a TSS removal efficiency of 50% from stormwater runoff at amaximum designed flow rate of 1.1 cfs with a manhole size diameter of 60 inches,and shall be permitted accordingly. Since this technology was verified for 51% TSSremoval, the manhole sizes for the various BaySaver Separator models to be used in NewJersey are larger than those specified in the verification report in order to establish asafety factor. In addition, the following conditions shall apply to the conditional interimcertification:
1. The BaySaver Separator Model 1K should be the first component, if used aspart of a treatment train (i.e., utilized in front of best management practices suchas detention, retention, and infiltration basins, etc., as defined in the NJStormwater Best Management Practices Manual).
2. The BaySaver Separator Model 1K shall be designed in accordance with NewJersey’s water quality design storm, as required in the Stormwater ManagementRules (N.J.A.C. 7:8).
3. A Quality Assurance Project Plan supporting the Technology Acceptance andReciprocity Partnership (TARP) Tier II Protocol for Stormwater BestManagement Practice Demonstration (July, 2003), and including any additionalfield testing requirements that the NJDEP shall request, shall be submitted toNJDEP and/or NJCAT within six (6) months from the date of this ConditionalInterim Certification letter.
4. Field evaluation data that are consistent with the Tier II Protocol and anyadditional NJDEP requirements shall be submitted to NJDEP and/or NJCAT byDecember 31, 2006.
5. Additional BaySaver models, as described in Table 1, can be used for therespective designed flow rate since the design of these units is the same as theBaySaver Separator Model 1K.
6. The appropriate devices satisfying site selection and sizing criteria must beconsistent with the specifications as described in Table 1.

One of the advantages of the BaySaver Separation Systems is the ease of maintenance. Like any system that collects pollutants, the BaySaver Separation Systems must be maintained for continued effectiveness. Maintenance is a simple procedure performed using a vacuum truck or similar equipment. The systems were designed to minimize the volume of water removed during routine maintenance, reducing disposal costs. Contractors can access the pollutants stored in the manholes through two 30” manhole covers. This allows them to gain unobstructed access to the bottom of the manholes. There is no confined space entry necessary for inspection or maintenance. Vacuum hoses can reach the entire sump area of both manholes to remove sediments and trash. The entire maintenance procedure typically takes from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the system and the capacity of the vacuum truck. Local regulations may apply to the maintenance procedure. Safe and legal disposal of pollutants is the responsibility of the maintenance contractor. Maintenance should be performed only by a qualified contractor.
Inspection and Cleaning Cycle
Periodic inspection is needed to determine the need for and frequency of maintenance. You should begin inspecting as soon as construction is complete and thereafter on a quarterly basis. Typically, the system needs to be cleaned every 12 months. The cycle may be less than 12 months if there is a chance that excessive oils, fuels or sediments will accumulate. That is why periodic inspection is important.

Determining When to Clean
The system needs to be cleaned when 2 feet (0.6 meters) of sediment is accumulated at the bottom of either structure or when visual inspection shows a large accumulation of debris or oil.
Measuring Sediment Depth
You can determine the sediment depth by lowering a pole into the manhole until it hits the sediment and measuring the distance from the bottom of the pole to the water line mark on the pole. If this is less than 6 feet (1.8 meters), the system needs to be cleaned.
Summary
You can access the pollutants through the 2 manhole covers.
You can see the entire floor/sump area of each manhole from the surface.
There is no confined space entry for inspection or maintenance.
During maintenance, you can transfer water from the primary to the storage
manhole, minimizing the amount of water for disposal.

Maintenance Instructions
Note: For each BaySaver System, there are 2 manholes to clean: the primary manhole and storage manhole.
1. Remove the manhole covers to provide access to the pollutant storage.
2. Storage manhole: Use a vacuum truck or other similar equipment to remove all water, debris, oils and sediment.
3. Storage manhole: Use a high pressure hose to clean the manhole of all the remaining sediment and debris. Then, use the vacuum truck to remove the water.
4. Primary manhole: Use a submersible pump to pump the bulk of the water from the primary manhole into the clean storage manhole:
a. Keep the pump intake below the water surface.
b. Stop pumping when the water surface is one (1) foot above the accumulated sediments.
5. Primary manhole: Use a vacuum truck or other similar equipment to remove all water, debris, oils and sediment.
6. Primary manhole: Use a high pressure hose to clean the manhole of all the remaining sediment and debris. Then, use the vacuum truck to remove the water.
7. Primary manhole: Fill the cleaned primary manhole with water until you have a depth of 8 feet (or 2.44 meters).
8. Storage manhole: Top off the storage manhole with water until you have a depth of 8 feet (or 2.44 meters).
9. Replace the two manhole covers.
10. Dispose of the polluted water, oils, sediment and trash at an approved facility.
• Local regulations prohibit the discharge of solid material into the sanitary system. Check with the local sewer authority for authority to discharge the liquid.
• Many places treat the pollutants as leachate. Check with local regulators about disposal requirements.
Important: Additional local regulations may apply to the maintenance procedure.
