Typical Rain Garden/Bioretention Area

A Rain Garden (Bioretention Area) is an excavated depression area on the surface of the Land in which native vegetation is planted to filter and use stormwater runoff. Runoff pond o top of the surface of the rain garden and then infiltrates into an enhanced soil/planting mix below the surface where plants can use the water to grow. Bioretention also improves water quality, vegetation filters the water, and the root systems encourage or promote infiltration. The picture above shows a cross-section of a typical rain garden. Key elements of rain garden include:

• Ponding depths recommended to 1 foot or less. • Native vegetation that can tolerate dry and wet weather. • An overflow area where, if the bioretention area were to overflow, the overflow would flow over

pervious area (i.e. grass, meadow), and would not cause harm to property, or; • An overflow such as a domed riser to allow excess flow from large storms to travel to other

substantial infiltration areas or pervious areas. • Maximum side slopes of: 1 are recommended, however, where space is limited, 2:1 side slopes

may be acceptable with approval from the municipal engineer. • The soil/planting mix depth should be between 1.5 feet to 6 feet deep. • Provide a storage volume of 8 cubic feet for every 100 square feet of impervious surface, (roof,

pavement, gravel, etc.) that drains to the Rain Garden. Assume void space of 10% in the Soil/Planting Mix.

Dry Well / Seepage Pit A dry well (or Seepage Pit) is a subsurface storage facility that temporarily stores and infiltrates runoff from the roofs of buildings or other impervious surfaces. A dry well can be either an excavated pit filled with stone fill, or a structural prefabricated chamber, (see illustration below). Dry wells discharge the stored runoff via infiltration into the surrounding or underlying soils. An overflow mechanism (surcharge pipe, connection to larger infiltration area, etc.) will ensure that additional runoff is safely conveyed downstream. Key elements of a Dry Well include:

• Facilities should be located a minimum of ten (10) feet from building foundations. • Construction of a dry well should be performed after surface soils in all other areas of the site

are stabilized to avoid clogging. • During construction, compaction of the subgrade soil in the bottom of the dry well should be

avoided, and construction should be performed only with light machinery. • Gravel fill should consist of stone with an average of 1-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter with the

gravel fill wrapped in a nonwoven geotextile that separates the stone fill from the surrounding soil.

• At least 12 inches of soil needs to be placed over the top of the dry well. • At least one observation well / cleanout is recommended • Infiltration testing is recommended to ensure the underlying soil is capable of infiltrating the

needed volume of the needed volume of stormwater. If positive infiltration is not available than another control method must be utilized.

• Maintenance will require periodic removal of sediment and leaves from sumps and cleanouts. • Dry wells shall provide a storage volume of 8 cubic feet for every 100 square feet of

impervious surface (roof, pavement, gravel, etc.) that drains to it. Refer to the following illustration of a typical seepage pit. Additional information is available in the Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual.

TYPICAL SEEPAGE PIT DETAIL

N.T.S.

1. Excavate seepage pit area to the required depth utilizing the lightest practical

equipment. Do not compact the existing surface.

2. Completely wrap seepage pit with non-woven geotextile, maintaining a

minimum 24" overlap.

3. Place AASHTO No.3 in 6" lifts, lightly compacting between lifts.

4. Geotextile shall be folded and secured over pit with a minimum 12" overlap.

5. A 12" lift of top soil shall be placed over seepage pit area.

6. Contractor shall install seepage pit with a volume of 8 CU.FT. per 100 SF of

impervious surface (roof, pavement, gravel, etc.) that drains to it. Assume

void space of 40% in the stone.
