1 Concurrent Session B: LID Design Specifications (Chapter 4 in Draft Manual)

2 Should vs. Must In Chapter 4, should means should, and must means must.

3 Poorly Drained Soils Well-Drained Soils Flat Terrain High Groundwater Site Conditions Tidally Influenced Drainage Systems Pollutants of Concern: sediment, phosphorus, nitrogen, and bacteria

4 Treatment Capability Coastal Zone (1/2 mile from receiving water): ½ inch of runoff from site or 1 inch from impervious cover Shellfish Beds (1,000 feet from shellfish bed): 1 ½ inches retained on site. Water Quality Treatment Wet ponds: ½ of runoff Dry ponds: 1 of runoff Infiltration/LID: 1 of runoff from impervious cover Water Quantity Control 2-year and 10-year post- to pre- peak flow

16 Bioretention Design Criteria Sizing Equation Where: Sv practice = total storage volume of practice (ft 3 ) SA bottom = bottom surface area of practice (ft 2 ) d media = depth of the filter media (ft) η media = effective porosity of the filter media (typically 0.25) d gravel = depth of the underdrain and underground storage gravel layer (ft) η gravel = effective porosity of the gravel layer (typically 0.4) SA average = the average surface area of the practice (ft 2 ) SAbottom + SAtop SAaverage = 2 = the maximum ponding depth of the practice (ft). d ponding bottom ( d η ) + ( d )] + ( SA d ) Sv = SA η [ media media gravel gravel average ponding
