They are well suited to retrofit scenarios and to collect runoff from catchments with relatively gentle longitudinal slope, and/or a greater cross slope. This might be the local topography of a parking lot or a piece of parkland?

As this inlet width is directly proportional to longitudinal slope; the required curb cut increases rapidly on steeper roads.

'''Standard width (450 mm), as included in OPSD drawings is often undersized for LID applications'''
'''Standard width (450 mm), as included in OPSD drawings should be compared to and modified for the flow requirements of the practice'''

Where the curb cut width is constrained and a greater flow into the BMP is desired, the effective cross slope may be increased by adding a depressed apron.
