Design and operation and maintenance program assumptions used to generate cost estimates are based on tool default values and the following STEP recommendations:
Design and operation and maintenance program assumptions used to generate cost estimates are based on tool default values and the following STEP recommendations:
* Native soil infiltration rate for Full Infiltration Design scenario was assumed to be 20 mm/h, and a safety factor of 2.5 was applied to calculate the design infiltration rate.
* Native soil infiltration rate for Full Infiltration Design scenario was assumed to be 20 mm/h, and a safety factor of 2.5 was applied to calculate the design infiltration rate.
* Operation and maintenance (O&M) cost estimates assume annual inspections, removal of trash and debris twice a year, removal of sediment from outlet catch basin annually, and removal of weeds twice a year. Verification inspections are included every 5 years to confirm adequate maintenance, and every 15 years to confirm adequate drainage performance through in-situ surface infiltration rate testing.
* Ditch inlet catch basin structure located at furthest downgradient end, with connection to storm sewer pipe, included as the outlet.

Verification inspections are included every 5 years to confirm adequate maintenance, and every 15 years to confirm adequate drainage performance through in-situ surface infiltration rate testing.
* Impervious drainage area to pervious swale footprint area of 10:1 (tool default value).

==Life Cycle Costs==
Below are capital and life cycle cost estimates for the [[Enhanced swales]] Full Infiltration configuration over 25- and 50-year time periods. The estimates of maintenance and rehabilitation (life cycle) costs represent net present values. Operation and maintenance costs are predicted to represent 45% of total life cycle costs over the 25-year evaluation period, and increase to 59% of total life cycle costs over the 50-year period, due to increased levels of litter removal, watering (establishment period - years 1 & 2 / annually and / drought watering) cleaning out and vacuuming of the catchbasin, mowing, replacement of sod, weeding and pruning of the BMP's planted [[vegetation]].
