It is critical that your project team understands the function of adjoining land uses and the activity that occurs in and around your retrofit site. Once an initial desktop assessment of the site is complete, the next step is to assess site conditions in order to confirm your assessment, determine the technical feasibility of implementing LID practices within the municipal road right of way (ROW), (i.e., the existing drainage conditions and general ROW characteristics), and identify and confirm any existing constraints.
It is critical that your project team understands site conditions. The choice of road right of way (ROW) LID approach will depend on road type, type construction project, and then various physical, social, and economic constraints. Please note the function of adjoining land uses and the activity that occurs in and around your retrofit site as part of site conditions for ROW. Once an initial desktop assessment of the site is complete, the next step is to assess site conditions in order to confirm your assessment, determine the technical feasibility of implementing LID practices within the municipal ROW, (i.e., the existing drainage conditions and general ROW characteristics), and identify and confirm any existing constraints.
Site specific constraints, considerations, and conditions that can be identified during a field visit include:
Site specific constraints, considerations, and conditions that can be identified during a field visit include:
