<p>*Perforated pipes should be continuously perforated, smooth interior HDPE (or equivalent material) with a minimum inside diameter of 100 mm. Where freezing is a concern, horizontal underdrain pipes should be over-sized to a minimum 200 mm diameter. All underdrains should be capped on the upstream end.</p>
<p>*At least one vertical well per BMP is recommended, for inspection and monitoring water level. The well, of 100 - 150 mm diameter perforated pipe, should extend to the bottom of the facility. Alternatively, where a horizontal underdrain is being installed, an upstream and a downstream well should be coupled to the underdrain pipe. The paired wells can then be used to flush out the length of the underdrain if required. The exposed top of all wells should be fitted with lockable caps.
<p>*Non-perforated pipes should be used for conveyance to and away from the facility, including overflow. </p>
