*Consider grading the storage location to distribute the melt-water as sheet flow over a [[Vegetated filter strips|grass filter strip]] into an adjacent BMP, such as a [[Bioretention|bioretention cell]] or [[Infiltration trenches|infiltration trench]]. In some cases, with careful vegetation selection and adequate drainage, the BMP itself can serve as a snow storage location. | *Consider grading the storage location to distribute the melt-water as sheet flow over a [[Vegetated filter strips|grass filter strip]] into an adjacent BMP, such as a [[Bioretention|bioretention cell]] or [[Infiltration trenches|infiltration trench]].
