14.8 Structural BMPs for Discharges from Developed L<strong>and</strong>Discharges from developed l<strong>and</strong> can be managed through the implementation ofstructural BMPs. Structural BMPs that can offset the impact of development on<strong>water</strong> quality can include:Infiltration SystemsDetention/ Sedimentation BasinsVegetative Filter StripsVegetative SwalesRiparian BuffersRain GardensA long term operation <strong>and</strong> maintenance plan should be included in the design <strong>and</strong>construction of the BMPs. Funding <strong>and</strong> maintenance schedules should also beincluded prior to approval of construction.14.8.1 Infiltration SystemsInfiltration systems are designed to filter out particulates as <strong>water</strong> percolatesthrough the soil, infiltrating the ground over some area <strong>and</strong> period of time.Infiltration systems include porous pavement, infiltration basins <strong>and</strong> trenches.Due to the removal efficiency <strong>and</strong> potential for migration, this system may not beappropriate over ground <strong>water</strong> sources.14.8.2 Detention/ Sedimentation BasinsDetention/Sedimentation Basins are utilized to capture storm <strong>water</strong> <strong>and</strong> areeffective at removing suspended constituents such as sediment. They can removeup to approximately 80% of suspended solids.Klotz Associates Project No. 0972.000.000January 201014-9Caldwell County Regional Water <strong>and</strong> Waste<strong>water</strong> Planning StudyFinal Report
