Materials
  −
• Gravel for the underdrain should be clean and washed; no fines should be present in the material.
  −
• Underdrain pipe material should be perforated and of the correct size.
  −
• A cap should be placed on the upstream (but not the downstream) end of the underdrain.
  −
• Biomedia should be tested to confirm that it meets specifications.
  −
• Mulch composition should be correct.

The following items should be checked after the first rainfall event, and adjustments should be made as necessary:
+
<tr><td></td><td>Ponding depth provided between the surface of the filter bed and the overflow structure</td></tr>
Outfall protection/energy dissipation at concentrated inflow should be stable.
+
<tr><td></td><td>Mulch depth</td></tr>
Flow should not concentrate and should spread evenly over the filter bed.
+
<tr><th colspan =2>Landscaping and Stabilization</th></tr>
Ponded water at the surface of the bioretenton facility should drain within 24 hours of the end of the storm event.  The filter media bed should fully drain within a maximum period of 72 hours.
