*Woody and evergreen plants should not be planted in any areas of the [[bioretention]] cell to be used as [[Winter|snow storage]].  

*Woody and evergreen plants should not be planted in any portions of the LID facility to be used as [[Winter|snow storage]].  

*Dense shrubby plants should be avoided in locations where the accumulation of trash  is anticipated as a maintenance problem, or where their growth can hinder maintenance and inspection of [[inlets]] or [[Overflow|other structures]].

*Trees and shrubs should be offset from [[Inlet |inlets]] and [[Overflow |overflow outlet]] locations, and lowest-elevation portions of the LID facility, where sediment, trash and natural debris will accumulate, to ensure access for completing routine inspection and maintenance tasks is not hindered.

*[[Trees]] should not be planted directly over underdrains, and may be better sited at the perimeter of bioretention cells.

*While it is not always necessary to use an entirely native planting palette, invasive plants are inappropriate for LID practices.   

*While it is not always necessary to use an exclusively native planting palette, invasive non-native plants are inappropriate for LID practices.
