Depending on native soil infiltration rate and physical constraints, the facility may be designed without an underdrain for full infiltration, with an underdrain for partial infiltration, or with an impermeable liner and underdrain for filtration only (i.e., a stormwater planter or biofilter) design.

Depending on native soil infiltration rate and physical constraints, the facility may be designed without an underdrain for full infiltration, with an underdrain for partial infiltration, or with an impermeable liner and underdrain for no infiltration, "filtration only" (i.e., a stormwater planter or biofilter) design.
 
Bioretention can be adapted to fit into many different development contexts and provides a convenient area for snow storage and treatment.
