Underdrains comprise a length of perforated [[pipe]] embedded into a layer of [[reservoir aggregate]]. They are an optional component of [[bioretention]] systems, [[bioswales]], [[permeable pavements]] and [[Stormwater Tree Trenches |stormwater tree trenches]], and a required component of [[stormwater planters]]. Underdrain perforated pipes should be located below the frost line to reduce the threat of ice clogging. Ontario provincial standard drawings of frost penetration depth are available from the [https://www.library.mto.gov.on.ca/SydneyPLUS/TechPubs/Portal/tp/opsViews.aspx Ministry of Transportation] as OPSD 3090.100 for northern Ontario <ref> Ministry of Transportation. 2010. Foundation Frost Penetration Depths for Northern Ontario. OPSD 3090.100. Nov 2010. Rev.1. https://www.library.mto.gov.on.ca/SydneyPLUS/TechPubs/Portal/tp/opsViews.aspx </ref> and OPSD 3090.101 for southern Ontario <ref> Ministry of Transportation. 2010. Foundation Frost Penetration Depths for Southern Ontario. OPSD 3090.101. Nov 2010. Rev.1. https://www.library.mto.gov.on.ca/SydneyPLUS/TechPubs/Portal/tp/opsViews.aspx </ref>. Underdrains featuring perforated pipes require connections to standpipes or structures that provide access to the pipe for inspection and maintenance purposes. Their design varies according to whether or not the facility is designed to infiltrate.
