| The storage reservoir layer holds and directs the stormwater into the underlying/native soils. The LID facilities, if applicable, should be filled with uniformly graded, washed stone (20 mm – 50 mm) that provides 30 to 40% void space.
| |
|
| |
| '''Construction steps:'''
| |
| #Backfill material from outside of the LID facility to avoid compaction and sediment entering the facilities. Use a slinger truck if possible.
| |
| #Place the material to the elevation and thickness as per the design specifications.
| |
|
| |
| '''Key Inspection Points:'''
| |
| *Material arrival to the site:
| |
| **Check chain of custody
| |
| **Verify it meets specifications as per design
| |
| **Verify no debris or fines within the aggregate (it’s a washed stone)
| |
| *Granular material should be 19 - 50 mm clear stone or as per design. See [[Aggregates]] for further details.
| |
| *Installed aggregate is at the correct elevation as per design.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mistakes to Avoid:'''
| |
| *Accepting material that does not meet design requirements and specifications.
| |
| *Installing material with heavy equipment from the inside of the LID facility
| |
| *Installing frozen aggregate. Do not install frozen aggregate
| |
| *Leaving heavy equipment (excavator) for long periods of time within the LID facility.
