RE: MS4 General Permit Assistance for the Lexington Department of Public Works
Year 6 Municipal Stormwater BMP Inspections and Inventory
Dear Mr. Valenti,
On April 13, 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in
Massachusetts, which became effective July 1, 2018. The Permit imposes a host of new requirements
for the Town of Lexington and all communities under its jurisdiction.
To address the Permit requirements (Section 2.3.7.a.iii.6) for the stormwater treatment structure
inspections, Environmental Partners Group, LLC (EP) visited 170 of the Town’s 191 stormwater
treatment best management practices (BMPs) to provide structure condition data and to improve
the Town’s BMP inventory. EP did not visit any of the 21, private, non-school BMPs. During the time
of inspections, two (2) additional stormwater BMPs were found and added to the Town’s BMP
Inventory. As such, the new total count for stormwater BMPs is 172 for municipal jurisdiction, and
193 including the private, non-school BMPs.
EP staff conducted site visits and inspections of the 172 BMPs in April 2024 and were performed
during dry weather. Stormwater BMPs throughout the town and Charles River Watershed were
inspected during this time.
All BMPs visited are shown in Figure 1: Stormwater BMP Inspection Locations and listed in Table
1: Stormwater BMP Inventory, which also includes information about inventory notes and
mapping updates recommended.
Similar to last fiscal year, EP recommends removing four (4) BMP locations from the Town’s
inventory due to private ownership, connection to sanitary sewer system, and non-existence and
based on field observations and reviewed site plans. This fiscal year, EP added two (2) BMP to the
Charles River Watershed inventory. Recommendations for further improving the Town’s BMP
inventory and any changes made are further detailed in Table 1.
Lastly, inspections were completed in PeopleGIS account using QA-Editor tools. Structure condition
and maintenance issues were noted. Refer to the PeopleGIS inspection forms to view field visit

photos and notes. Inspection findings and maintenance recommendations are summarized in
Table 2: Lexington Schools BMP Maintenance Items, Table 3: Non-School BMP Maintenance
Items and Table 4: Charles River Watershed BMP Maintenance Items.
In general, minor to moderate maintenance issues were observed, that include, but are not limited
to:
•Excess growth of vegetation, leaf litter buildup, and other dead vegetation,
•Garbage and debris,
•Buildup of sediment causing pooling at BMP inlets,
•Rip rap needing sediment removal and/or stone material refreshed,
•Areas requiring re-grading,
•Inlets/outlets that were partially clogged with debris and/or sediment, and
•Assets being inaccessible during the time of inspections either due to limited access or being
buried under grass.
We very much appreciate the opportunity to work with the Town of Lexington on this project. Please
don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Environmental Partners Group, LLC

needed.
MGT154 Infiltration
Subsurface infiltration unit - The subsurface
infiltration unit is functioning well. Clean out ports
have minimal standing water and littler to no debris.
Water level in outlet control structure is normal (below
inlet pipe), indicating stormwater if flowing and
infiltrating fine. No immediate maintenance needed.
MGT156 Sediment
Separator
Hydroworks
Hydroguard
Hydrodynamic separator - Significant debris and
sediment located at the inlet pipe. 6’ of standing water
observed. Some floatables. Unit is overall in good
condition. Routine maintenance such as cleaning is
recommended.

immediate maintenance is required.
MGT158 Sediment
Separator
Hydroworks
Hydroguard
Hydroworks Hydroguard unit (5’ sump, likely HG5
model) - A couple inches of sediment at base of
structure, which is notable but less than threshold for
maintenance. A few rocks and trash found in the
structure and should be removed. Some floatable
debris/trash but not exceeding threshold for
maintenance. Outlet to basin is generally in good
condition but riprap stones have some debris - debris
should be cleared and stones reset. Inlet to separator
from pavement contains some sediment that should
be removed. Separator does not need maintenance
but inlet and outlet need minor maintenance.
MGT159 Sediment
Separator
Hydroworks Hydroguard unit - Inlet and outlet are in
good condition. Sediment is observed at the flared
end inlet pipe from the parking lot. Minor
maintenance required. Water level in structure is
below invert of outlet pipe. A couple inches of
sediment observed which is notable but below the
maintenance threshold. Minimal floatables Inlet to
basin from separator is in good condition. Riprap
contains only a minor amount of leaves. Aside from
inlet from parking lot to separator, no immediate
maintenance is needed.
MGT160 Sediment
Separator
Hydroworks
Hydroguard
Hydroworks Hydroguard unit (HG5 model likely) - A
few inches of sediment and some floatables observed,
but lower than the 14" threshold, therefore, immediate
maintenance is not required. Inlet from parking lot is
clear. Outlet to basin is clear, but riprap contains
some debris/leaves - minor maintenance needed.
MGT161 Sediment
Separator
Hydroworks Hydroguard unit - Some sediment in
structure, and observed to be below Hydroworks
threshold for maintenance. 6' of standing water
observed. Trash and leaves observed within structure.
Inlet to structure requires cleaning of leaves and
sediment. Outlet pipe to basin is in good condition,
but riprap apron requires minor maintenance to
clear riprap stones.

Separator
Hydroworks Hydroguard unit - Trash and leaves
observed. Inlet and outlet pipes within structure are in
good condition. Sediment and leaves observed inside
the flared end inlet pipe outside of the structure. Minor
amount of trash found inside the unit. Maintenance
such as cleaning for both the structure and inlet
pipe outside of the structure is recommended.
MGT85 Other Drain outlet
Drain outlet - Inlet pipe is clear. Loose soil along slope
of basin should be stabilized and reseeded as needed.
Minor amount of leaves observed within riprap and
should be cleared. Overall, basin is in good condition
and no immediate maintenance is needed.
MGT86 Other Drain outlet
Drain outlet. Outlet is generally in good condition.
Pipe is clear. Sedimentation is observed. Design
drawings should be reviewed to confirm intended
vegetation. Any excess vegetation should be
removed and reseeded as designed. Reseed as
needed.
MGT87 Unknown Bioretention
Basin
Bioretention basin with under drain. Bottom of basin
is soil - areas of soil need reseeding. Overall, basin has
overgrowth and excess dead vegetation. Minor amount
of trash noted. Outlet control structure has some leaf
and debris buildup, but no immediate maintenance
needed at the outlet. Routine maintenance such as
removal of dead vegetation and reseeding the
bottom of the basin (as needed) is recommended.
MGT88 Other Drain outlet
Drain outlet. Riprap at mouth of inlets have sediment
and debris. Some leaves at mouth of one inlet. Minor
amount of trash noted. Routine maintenance such as
cleaing and removal of dead vegetation is
recommended. Riprap should be
refreshed/replenished as needed.

Recharger - domed grate is in good condition.
Subsurface chambers are dry with minimal sediment.
No trash observed. Leaves observed in chamber
beneath grate, but not enough to necessitate removal.
No immediate maintenance required, however,
leaves should be periodically removed.
