Operation and Maintenance Manuals

All new stormwater management facilities are required to have an operation and maintenance (O&M) manual. 
Guidance on how to prepare O&M manuals can be found in Chapter 4 of the Hydraulics Manual and GE16-02(B). 

O&M Manual Templates

Standard Operation Manuals
Standard operation manuals (SOMs) define the components, purpose, and operation of commonly used water 
quality facilities. SOMs are used as a guide to identify water quality facilities and gain a better understanding of how 
each facility operates.
