  1. Minimum depth between the base of the facility and the elevation of the seasonally high water table or top of bedrock
  2. Infiltration rate estimates based on measurements of hydraulic conductivity under field saturated conditions at the proposed location and depth of the practice
  3. Vertical distance between the inlet and outlet of the LID practice
  4. Percent of open pervious land on the site that is required for the LID practice
  5. Slope at the LID practice location
  6. Suitable in pollution hot spots or runoff source areas where land uses or activities have the potential to generate highly contaminated runoff
  7. Separated from the seasonally high water table or top of bedrock elevation
  8. |Time-of-travel within wellhead protection areas
