Infiltration Systems Landscaping Criteria
Dense vegetative cover should be established over the contributing pervious drainage areas
Infiltration systems should not be constructed until all of the contributing drainage area has been completely stabilized
Infiltration basins should establish dense vegetation on the basin side slopes and floor to prevent erosion and sloughing
Notes:
Clogging is the biggest concern with infiltration practices. Many fail as a result of construction site runoff entering the system prior to site stabilization. Great care must be exercised to avoid fouling the system prematurely.
