6 How the Bioretention Facilities Work 6
7 Lessons - General 7 1. The Right growing medium mix 2. Vegetation selection 3. Protecting layers of material
8 General Growing Medium Balancing Act 8 1. Infiltration capacity Factor of safety of 5 70 mm/hr 5 = 14 mm/hr 2. Plant health Nutrients Water retention 3. Local availability
9 General Vegetation Selection 9 Early discussions with stakeholders at same time? Consideration for: local availability options in case changes native species in some locations Stakeholders to include Preliminary list available

14 Lessons - Carburn Scour Protection 2. Tying into Existing Infrastructure
15 Carburn Park Scour Protection 15 The Problem 1. Erosion of plants and soil or 2. Sediment dam
16 Carburn Park - Scour Protection 16 The Solution 1. Non erodible transition and 2. Elevation drop 100 mm
17 Carburn Park - Scour Protection 17 Concentrated flow points Sheet flow
18 Carburn Park Scour Protection 18 Sheet Flow Grass (sod) 100 mm drop (pavement to top of sod) 100 mm
19 Carburn Park Scour Protection 19 Major Concentrated Flow Point 225 mm deep 150 mm Riprap Approximately 100 mm drop (pavement to top of rock) 100 mm
20 Carburn Park Scour Protection 20 Concentrated Flow Points 3 x 3 concrete pavers each 300mm x 300mm 100 mm drop (pavement to top of pavers) 100 mm
21 Carburn Park Tying Into Existing 21 Little depth between pavement & existing pipe inverts / pond surface 400 mm instead of 450 mm growing media depth Flat subdrain very close to top surface of drain rock 200 mm instead of 300 mm ponding in bioretention
22 Carburn Park 22 5-year Storm - July 15, 2016 September 12, 2015 September 15, 2016
23 Learning Points - Summarized Growing medium: Talk to your supplier & city early 2. Vegetation: Early stakeholder input and central list 3. Protecting material: Oversight at all phases 4. Volume reduction + low infiltration rate + space constraints = Site specific infiltrating testing 5. Scour protection: Material + drop, pavers on slopes 6. Tying into existing: Possible, strategic compromise
