BR Vegetation
 Examine all Bioretention cell vegetation.

 Problem (Check if Present)  Follow-Up Actions

    The original plants are likely not suited for the actual
  conditions within the Bioretention cell . If you are
  knowledgeable about plants, select and plant more
  appropriate vegetation (preferably native plants) so that
  almost the entire surface area will be covered by the end of
  the second growing season.
    Other:

    Kick-Out to Level 2 Inspection: For all but small practices
  (e.g., rain gardens), this task will likely require a landscape
  design professional or horticulturalist.

    Vegetation is too thin, is not healthy, and there are
  many spots that are not well vegetated.

  BR Outlets
Examine outlets that release water out of the Bioretention cell.

Problem (Check if Present)  Follow-Up Actions

    Add stone to reduce the impact from the water flowing out of the outlet pipe or
  weir during storms.
    Other:
   Erosion at outlet

    Kick-Out to Level 2 Inspection: Rills have formed and erosion problem
  becomes more severe.

    Remove the debris and dispose of it where it cannot re-enter the
  Bioretention cell .
    Other:

    Kick-Out to Level 2 Inspection: Outlet is completely clogged or obstructed;
  there is too much material to remove by hand or with simple hand tools.

   Outlet obstructed with mulch, sediment,
  debris, trash, etc.
