| It is important to note that R should not exceed 2 to limit hydraulic loading and help avoid premature clogging. Also important to note is that the contributing drainage area should not contain pervious areas that are sources of sediment that can lead to premature clogging. | | It is important to note that R should not exceed 2 to limit hydraulic loading and help avoid premature clogging.
