Always the last element to be discussed, and often the least practiced component of a stormwater management program, maintenance is doubly important in retrofit situations. The reasons are simple. Most retrofits are undersized when compared to their new development counterparts and space is at a premium in urban areas where many maintenance provisions such as access roads, stockpiling or staging areas are either absent or woefully undersized.
