1 Rainwater and Land Development Manual Bioretention Design Specification Updates Jay Dorsey & John Mathews ODNR-DSWR June 18, 2014

2 Why Change? Improved Design -> Better Performance, Fewer Failures; Based on: Bioretention Practice Inspections/Observations Research Scientific Knowledge Base Ability to Target Specific Pollutants or Stormwater Management Goals Temperature, Nitrogen, Phosphorus Facilitate Design, Review and Inspection Runoff Volume and Peak Discharge Reduction Credits (under Development)

10 Pretreatment Requirements Pretreatment is required Grass Filter Strip Gravel Verge plus Grass Filter Strip Grass Swale Sediment Forebay

11 Planting Soil (Filter Bed Media) PARAMETER OLD NEW Texture Class Sandy Loam, Loamy Sand >72% Sand, <10% Clay Loamy Sand >80% Sand, <10% Clay ph Range Organic Matter 5-20% (no specification whether by weight or volume) 3-5% by Weight Phosphorus Content Soil P-Index between 15 and mg/kg P by Mehlich3 Soil Test Certification Soil mixes must be certified by a qualified laboratory (1 test/100 yd 3 soil) Soil mixes must be certified by a qualified laboratory (1 test/100 yd 3 soil)

12 Planting Soil Mix or Recipe To get the appropriate planting soil mix (loamy sand; >80% sand, <10% clay when considering only mineral fraction; 3-5% OM by weight) a good place to start is a 5:1:1 mix (70% sand, 15% topsoil, and 15% organic matter by volume). The sand shall be clean and meet AASHTO M-6 or ASTM C-33. Good (lower P) sources of aged organic matter include leaf compost, pine bark fines, or mulch fines.

13 Planting Soil Media Depth 30 to 36 bioretention soil (typical) [24 bioretention soil minimum] 2-3 filter clean concrete sand 2-3 filter - clean gravel (#8) 12 clean gravel (#57)

14 Planting Soil Media Depth Pollutant removal - minimum 24 filter media depth provides excellent treatment for most pollutants Exceptions Temperature, Nitrogen, Phosphorus Plant/landscaping needs - planting soil depth needs to be adjusted to accommodate expected rooting depths of bioretention vegetation recommend for most applications; coordinate with landscape architect and/or horticulturalist

15 Filter Layer between Planting Soil and Gravel Drainage Layer 30 to 36 bioretention soil (typical) [24 bioretention soil minimum] 2-3 filter clean concrete sand 2-3 filter - clean gravel (#8) 12 clean gravel (#57)

16 Filter Layer between Planting Soil and Gravel Drainage Layer Geotextile fabric filters no longer allowed mounting evidence that filter fabric clogs causing >24 failure bioretention of soil practice 2-3 filter clean concrete sand 2-3 filter - clean gravel (#8) 12 clean gravel (#57)

24 Underdrain Configuration For Basic BRC Installation Media Depth Elevated outlet recommended for all HSG-A, B, C soils with K fs > 0.1 in/hr for Temp, N & Volume Reduction D soils 3 gravel bedding acts as sump

25 Special Designs Temperature Mitigation Nitrogen Removal Phosphorus Mitigation

26 Sizing and Drawdown Requirements Assumptions K fs of settled filter bed media (planting soil) is between 0.5 to 2.0 in/hr [Maintenance required when K fs < 0.5 in/hr] 20% of WQv sediment storage requirement will be met with excess bowl volume
