==Design Summary & Total Cost==
As previously discussed the three [[Bioretention]] configurations total cost summary vary greatly dependent on whether you want you feature to possess full infiltration, no infiltration, or partial infiltration. In short, the most expensive of these options is the [[Bioretention: Partial infiltration]] option ($113,800.83 vs. $109,113.76 - no infiltration and $80,392.33 - full infiltration). The same can be said for construction + associated retrofit costs with each configuration design ($132,008.97 vs. $126,571.96 - no infiltration and $93,255.10 - full infiltration) This configuration allows for the greatest storage volume (187.5 m<sup>3</sup>) compared to its counterparts at 145<sup>3</sup> for no infiltration and 107.5<sup>3</sup> for full infiltration; all while having the exact same surface area footprint of 250m<sup>2</sup>. As reminder, it is important to understand your site's surrounding native soil infiltration rate to ensure you are selecting the appropriate design.<br>
