I cannot find any details or information on this, and I don't know if it's just never done, or if I'm just bad at finding information. We are looking at designing a pipe going into the weephole portion of a 48" concrete drywell, and I'm trying to figure out if that pipe penetration needs some...

I am for the first time looking at using a bioretention pond on one of my designs. I typically use proprietary systems or standard ponds for detention and treatment, but I would like to start utilizing LID's more for cost saving and potential utilization of the landscape areas. I have...
