How recently did it rain: Within the last hour

How heavy was that rain: Moderate Rain

Is anything preventing water from flowing into the system (e.g., debris, trash, vegetation): Yes

Is there standing water in the system: Yes

Notes/Comments:

Debris and mulch is blocking the inlet, and the grade is too steep for water to reach treatment area during a moderate rainstorm. Most water bypassing system. Talked to homeowner and she noted that there were upstream issues as her neighbors’ landscape was eroding and washing sand and mulch into the system — picture included. Homeowner was in process of removing debris when I arrived. She is interested in having the system retrofitted.
