Irrigation/watering is especially important for the first 2 years after planting. • Landscape: Apply new mulch yearly to maintain 1-3 inches of mulch, weed and prune as needed • Regularly remove garbage or inflow blockages from any stormwater facilities (e.g. rain gardens) Certification: I agree to observe my depaved area regularly to ensure that it functions properly, and I will follow the maintenance guidelines in the How to Depave: The Guide to Freeing Your Soil to the best of my ability.

Green roof projects must be designed to meet or exceed standards as outlined in Section 6.5 Vegetated Roofs (pg. 217) of this manual and constructed to prevent harm to you, your neighbors, or their property. It is the landowner’s responsibility to evaluate and ensure that the green roof is installed correctly and is functioning properly. Green Roof Project Design Guidelines • Applicant must obtain all appropriate permits. • Roof surface must have less than 45-degree pitch. • Green roof must have drainage component (drain mat or granular drainage media). • Installed soil mix must be between 70-90% inorganic/mineral material, with the remainder being primarily organic (e.g. certified compost). If soil varies from this recommended range, written justification for that variance must be provided. • Installed plants should have proven capacity to tolerate rooftop growing conditions. • When saturated, weight should not exceed: 10-25 pounds of vegetation per square foot (extensive green roof) or 80-150 pounds of vegetation per square foot (intensive green roof). • Registration of green roof completion on Sound Impacts.
