- Bioinfiltration BMPs are cost-efective stormwater management tools.
- Biofiltration is a key component in the LID approach to stormwater management.
- Soil mix determines - in large part - flow control and water quality treatment performance.
- Specifications for biofiltration soil are outlined by each state.
- Be sure to allow sufficient time for testing your biosoil with an approved lab.
- Find a reliable, certified source to purchase bioretention soil, reduce mobilization time and construction delays.
