Line 331: − + − + − − {{textbox|To minimize these risks and maintain effective protection throughout all phases of construction, the following best practices should be implemented: − *Keep LID perimeter controls in working order throughout construction − *Protect LID inlets − *Avoid heavy equipment on infiltration areas (i.e., driving vehicles through filter beds, or over granular water storage and bedding layers − *Phase construction so that LID measures are constructed last. Underground LID features can be built early in the construction process, provided they are protected by a barrier such as a plug. − *Keep LID installations offline via flow diversion until construction is complete, the drainage area is stabilized, and vehicle mud tracking is stopped. − *Avoid using LID areas as temporary detention basins, but in cases where flow cannot be routed around LID areas, protection should be used to prevent accumulated sediment from migrating into the subgrade. − *Be mindful of stockpile locations relative to LID areas − *Inspect LID areas during ESC site inspections − *Identify and mark LID areas to increase awareness}}

LID practices that promote infiltration as their primary function for water quality & management of overland flows - such as bioretention areas, permeable pavements, and infiltration trenches (link pages) - are vulnerable to damage during construction activities that can compromise their ability to function as intended.
LID practices that promote infiltration as their primary function for water quality & management of overland flows - such as bioretention areas, permeable pavements, and infiltration trenches (link pages) - are vulnerable to damage during construction activities that can compromise their ability to function as intended. These features can become clogged with sediment, experience erosion at inlets and in planted areas, suffer compaction from heavy machinery, or be contaminated by pollutants in construction runoff. To minimize these risks and maintain effective protection throughout all phases of construction, the following best practices should be implemented:
