Technical RequirementsInfiltration BasinConstruction Considerations• If possible, stabilize the entire tributary area to the infiltration basin before construction begins. Ifthis is not possible, divert flow around the basin to protect it from sediment loads duringconstruction. If sediment does enter the facility during construction, the contractor will berequired to remove soil from the basin floor after the entire site has been stabilized, to thesatisfaction <strong>of</strong> the permitting agency inspector.• Construct basin using equipment with extra wide, low-pressure tires. Prevent construction trafficfrom entering basin.• Ensure that final grading produces a level basin bottom without low spots or depressions.• After final grading, deep till the basin bottom.• Once construction is complete, stabilize the entire tributary area to the basin and the vegetationwithin the basin itself, before allowing run<strong>of</strong>f to enter the infiltration facility.• Divert run<strong>of</strong>f (other than necessary irrigation) during the period <strong>of</strong> basin vegetationestablishment.• Inspect frequently during vegetation establishment, and repair, seed, or re-plant damaged areasimmediately.Embankment (if required)InletFlat Basin Floor with VegetationRiprapOutfallProtectionEmergency SpillwayRelief Underdrain(Optional)PlanValve<strong>Stormwater</strong> StorageInletSectionSource: Schueler, 1987Figure IB-1.
