* Step 6: Select an underdrain perforated pipe diameter (typically 100 or 200 mm), assign this as an 'embedded' depth equal to the pipe diameter. The perforated pipe depth can be made part of the active storage of the practice when a riser (standpipe and 90 degree coupling) are used to design the underdrain.

* Step 7: Sum total depth of bioretention components, and compare to available space (i.e. depth) between the proposed surface grade and one (1) metre above the seasonally high water table or top of bedrock elevations in the practice location.

* Step 8: Adjust component depths to maintain a separation of one (1) metre between base of the practice and seasonally high water table or top of bedrock elevation, or a lesser or greater value based on groundwater mounding analysis.  See below and [[Groundwater]] for more information.<br>

For practices without an underdrain in locations constrained in the vertical dimension, consider decreasing filter media depth (and supported plant types) and/or catchment impervious area.<br>

For practices with an underdrain in locations constrained in the vertical dimension, consider installing the perforated pipe on the bottom of the storage reservoir and including a riser (saves the depth of aggregate needed to embed the pipe), and/or decreasing filter media depth (and supported plant types), ponding depth and/or catchment impervious area.
