For Infiltration Trench

This infiltration trench features an inlet composed of filter fabric and decorative river stone, which provides some pretreatment and can easily be removed and replaced as part of routine sediment removal maintenance. For more details click here.

For Downspout disconnection

This schematic shows proper downspout disconnection of a building's downspout system with associated setback distances and items (weeping tile pipes, gravel, splash pad, etc. For more details click here.

For Dry pond

The following image showcases an illustrates an extended detention dry pond. For more details click here.

For Bioretention

This joint schematic with both Plan and Longitudinal Section views shows what a general biortention cell/system in a parking lot could look like.

For Bioswales

The image above shows a schematic for a standard bioswale with a graded channel, native grasses/vegetation plantings to control erosive flows, filter media, to permit infiltration into the facility, along with optional check dams to facilitate short term ponding.

For Enhanced Swales

The longitudinal schematic above shows a standard enhanced swale with amended soil, resilient turf grasses, filter media and optional check dams with a flow concentrating cutout to facilitate short term ponding and maximize infiltration capacity for this BMP installation.

For Exfiltration Trenches

Soil, sand and minerals washed from land into water, usually after rain. They pile up in reservoirs, rivers and harbors, destroying fish-nesting areas and holes of water animals and cloud the water so that needed sunlight might not reach aquatic plans. Careless farming, mining and building activities will expose sediment materials, allowing them to be washed off the land after rainfalls.

Depressed storage area, designed to capture flood events.

A stormwater design features that provides for the gradual release of a volume of water in order to increase settling of pollutants and protect downstream channels from frequent storm events.

Depressed storage area, designed to capture flood events.

A shallow excavated surface depression containing prepared filter media, mulch, and planted with selected vegetation.

Linear bioretention cell designed to convey, treat and attenuate stormwater runoff. The engineered filter media soil mixture and vegetation slows the runoff water to allow sedimentation, filtration through the root zone, evapotranspiration, and infiltration into the underlying native soil.

The engineered soil component of bioretention cell or dry swale designs, typically with a high rate of infiltration and designed to retain contaminants through filtration and adsorption to particles.

Structures constructed of a non-erosive material, such as suitably sized aggregate, wood, gabions, riprap, or concrete; used to slow runoff water. Can be employed in practices such as bioswales and enhanced grass swales.

A shallow constructed channel, often grass-lined, which is used as an alternative to curb and channel, or as a pretreatment to other measures. Swales are generally characterized by a broad top width to depth ratio and gentle grades.

Vegetated open channel, with check dams; designed to convey, treat and attenuate stormwater runoff.

Best management practice. State of the art methods or techniques used to manage the quantity and improve the quality of wet weather flow. BMPs include: source, conveyance and end-of-pipe controls.

The downward movement of water through the soil, the downward flow of runoff from the bottom of an infiltration BMP into the soil.

Loss of water from a drainage system as a result of percolation or absorption into the surrounding medium (e.g., the infiltration of water into the native soil through a perforated pipe wall as it is conveyed).

Refers to the conditions in which an organism lives and survives or the conditions in which an organism resides. These conditions can be described as aspects of a “physical”, “social” or an “economic” environment, depending on the perspective perceived by the observer.
