LID construction notes[edit]

LID design drawings need detailed construction notes within the design drawings. These notes should include:

  • sequencing and staging areas
  • material specifications
  • testing requirements
  • installation procedures
  • elevations and invert details for inlet, outlet, and overflow features
  • grading details for conveyance features
  • erosion and sediment control requirements
  • inspection and maintenance responsibilities during construction and prior to assumption
