Green infrastructure uses vegetation, soils, and natural processes to manage water and create healthier urban environments. Green infrastructure refers to the patchwork of natural areas that provides habitat, flood protection, cleaner air, and cleaner water. At the scale of a neighborhood or site, green infrastructure refers to stormwater management systems that mimic nature by soaking up and storing water. - United States Environmental Protection Agency Infiltration Based Green Infrastructure Techniques • Bioretention Cells (Rain Gardens) • Planter Boxes • Vegetated Swales and Bioswales • Street Trees and Tree Box Filters • Infiltration Galleries or Swales • Permeable Pavement Bioretention Cells and Rain Gardens Bioretention Cells or Rain Gardens?

Intended for use with projects for which there is no regional stormwater facility available. 5 BMP functions that may be required: -Sediment control -Nutrient removal -Volume reduction -Peak discharge rate control -Channel protection 6 7 Stormwater ponds are typically installed as an end-of-pipe BMP at the downstream end of a trunk storm sewer system or of a treatment train. Wet extended detention basins are the only type of pond that complies with the NPDES Permit. - Dry detention ponds are ones in which the outlet elevation matches or is slightly below that of the inlet elevation. All runoff that enters the pond is consider to leave the pond, but the outlet is restricted to temporarily store the runoff prior to discharge. There is no sediment storage, and sediment that was previously deposited often is carried downstream with larger storm events. Therefore, dry detention ponds provide rate control but no water quality benefits. - FtlFrequently, unlined wet d et enti on pon ds can dtbttdry out between storm even tifthts if they are constructed in sandy soil due to infiltration. These may still be considered to provide water quality benefits as the runoff has to pond up to a certain depth before it can discharge through the outlet pipe, allowing for sedimentation.
