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:
