Consider drainage early in the design process Find suitable sites for bioretention Use roof plans and grading/paving plans to
analyze and display drainage management areas Distribute bioretention through the site Grade to distribute drainage to among inlets Use the head from roof leaders to move roof
runoff Avoid utility conflicts

Consider Drainage Early

Find suitable sites for bioretention Downgradient Unbuildable Aesthetic
Suitable Sites

Roof and Grading Plans Drainage
area includes portions of roof and of parking lot

Facilitates mimicking pre-development hydrology of site
Keeps drainage runs short and shallow Avoid creating barriers to circulation
Distribute through the site

Distribute throughout site

Distribute throughout site On steep sites consider:
Integrating bioretention facilities with terracing Collecting runoff in the conventional way and
piping to bioretention facilities at the base of the slope

Distribute runoff Avoid conventionally swaled pavement

Use the head from roof leaders to move roof runoff
Tightline Roof Leaders

Avoid conflicts with existing underground utilities
Avoid conflicts with newly installed utilities
