6 Boise Storm Water Plant Materials Resource Guide
PREFACE This resource guide serves as a tool for selecting plant materials for vegetated storm water Best Management Practices located in Boise City. The guidelines in this document can be used by landscapearchitects, architects, engineers, or other design professionals who are involved in storm water system design. This resource guide does not include design of storm water BMPs. Design information can be found in the City of Boise Storm Water Management Design Manual (available mid 2000). This resource guide should be used in conjunction with the City of Boise Storm Water Management Design Manual and the Storm Water Operation and Maintenance Resource Guide. This resource guide is an evolving document that will be updated as new information is available and as new plant materials are developed and tested. The resource guide is divided into five sections. The first 4 sections describe the site components that are critical for successfully establishing plants in storm water systems. The last section details guidelines for specific storm water best management practices, specifically, ponds, biofiltration systems, and infiltration systems. The appendices include climate information, biofiltration system cover type, plant lists, and regional plant vendors. Boise Storm Water Plant Materials Resource Guide 7
