Overview[edit]

Whilst we consider preparing our own set of STEP LID drawings, we are providing a quick reference list to drawing files from other Ontario and/or Canada-based sources.

If you want help in finding example details for an LID design, please email the Wiki Guide email account or use the comment box below.

You know that typical drawings are no substitute for properly configured design!

Ontario Municipal References[edit]

Exfiltration Systems[edit]

Please see below a Profile view of an exfiltration system (or perforated pipe system) designed for use in the city of Barrie and used in conjunction with a typical storm sewer system. Note: This cross section installment is 'not located within a WHPA', although the source document for this drawing showcases a similar design configuration, that is 'located within a WHPA', which is not supported by STEP.

Drawings are from the City of Barrie's, Drainage Master Plan [4] document. For further details about these cross section drawings please visit the link.

Infiltration Trenches/Chambers & Soakaways[edit]

Please see below a profile and plan view of an infiltration trench designed to treat and temporarily store stormwater for use in the City of Toronto located within the laneway between the road and sidewalk in a heavily urbanized location. This drawing depicts partial exfiltration where remaining stormwater runoff is directed to the nearby storm sewer system.

Drawings are from the City of Toronto's, Design Criteria for Green Infrastructure in the Right-of-Way [5] document. For further details about these cross section drawings please visit the link.

Enhanced Swales / Bioswales[edit]

Stormwater Tree Trenches[edit]

Please see below a Plan and Profile view of one of several variations of a stormwater planter (soil cell) along a roadway. This type of cross section installment showcases a tree trench in a continuous growing medium located under a hard boulevard/concrete surface that can withstand constant and heavy vehicular loads. Drawings are from the City of Toronto's Green Streets Technical Guidelines Appendices document. For further details about these cross section drawings please visit the link.
