Designer/Reviewer Checklist <strong>for</strong> Infiltration Berms<br />

Was the Soil Infiltration Testing Protocol followed?*<br />

ITEM YES NO N/A NOTES<br />

Appropriate areas of the site evaluated?<br />

Infiltration rates measured?<br />

Was the Infiltration BMP followed?<br />

Two-foot separation from bedrock/SHWT?<br />

Soil permeability acceptable?<br />

Natural, uncompacted soils?<br />

Excavation in berm areas minimized?<br />

Loading ratio considered?<br />

Drawdown time less than 72 hours?<br />

Erosion and Sedimentation control?<br />

Feasible construction process and sequence?<br />

Entering flow velocities non-erosive?<br />

Berm height 6 to 24 inches?<br />

Berm designed <strong>for</strong> stability (temporary and permanent)?<br />

Acceptable berm side slopes?<br />

Are berm materials resistant to erosion?<br />

Located level, along contour?<br />

Acceptable soil <strong>for</strong> plants specified?<br />

Appropriate plants selected?<br />

Maintenance accounted <strong>for</strong> and plan provided?<br />

* In general, the protocol should be followed as much as possible (although there is more flexibility <strong>for</strong> berms than<br />

<strong>for</strong> other BMPs such as pervious pavement and subsurface infiltration that rely almost entirely on infiltration).<br />
