Curb cut CNT.jpg| Curb cut into a bioretention facility in Hinsdale, IL. [[Stone]] in the center of the facility reduces erosion and dissipates power inflow around the [[Inlets|inlet]] area. A monitoring/maintenance [[well]] can be seen in the foreground. Photo credit: [[Acknowledgements|CNT]]

Curb inlet grade.jpg| The [[grading]] around this inlet prevents flow in the correct direction. i.e. from the pavement onto the grass. Not too critical in this example, as the surface is [[permeable paving]].

==Inlet sumps==
An inlet sump is recommended to settle and separate sediments from runoff where a large amount of debris is expected. Water drains into a catch basin, where debris settles in its sump. After [[pretreatment]], water drains via a pipe or opening into the BMP. The sump can be directly connected to a perforated [[underdrain]] pipe to distribute the flow to the [[bioretention]], supported [[soil cells]] or underground practices such as [[trenches]] or [[chambers]].
