''Could we add some settling velocities here? It's something I've found very useful in other manuals and I think it would be good to have here.''
*Thank you - it has now been added to the [[Dry ponds]] page.

''This section should include a link to the City of Toronto Green Streets Technical Guidelines Plant Material Selection tool. This is the most complete and comprehensive tool available for selecting tree, shrubs and herbaceous species for all GI SWM installations, by GI type.
*Thank you this resource has now been referenced on the [[Plant lists]] page.

''Overview section - You may want to add to the list of bullet points: Composite plastic/recycled rubber permeable unit pavers Under the 'fundamental' heading - 3rd Bullet 'cast in place' should be changed to 'cast-in-place" Under the 'Uses' section- Add to the list of additional components ' Impervious liner for installations where infiltration is not desirable including well-head, protection areas, high water table sites and sites where installations are proximate to building faces/foundations'. Pretreatment section - Last sentence - Change the word 'element' to 'method' Risk of Groundwater Contamination section - 2nd bullet - Add a comma after 'such as' This section would benefit from some discussion related to the use of an impervious liner and an underdrain to provide a barrier to protect groundwater. The system functions as a 'filtration/attenuation' installation. Private Systems section - Last sentence - Change 'existing practices' to 'existing permeable pavement installations'. Design section - Finish course - 1st sentence - chage 'of' to 'for and add 'specific' ('for their specific product'). Performance section - This section would benefit from some discussion related to attenuation/filtration (non-infiltration type installations). On urban sites where underground parking garages are lot-line to lot-line, we commonly use permeable pavement with a liner and a stone reservoir as a tool to achieve SWM targets. This technique is one of the few means available to assist on very tight sites or within projects that are located on Brownfield sites that have been remediated through capping to encapsulate contaminated subsoils.''
*Thank you these edits and sectiosn have been changed on the [[Permeable pavements]]

''In the second line 'n' should be changed to 'in' Overview section - 1st line, add a hyphen between 'well' and 'recognized' Additional Components section - Add Impervious liner to the list of components with the explanation that an impervious liner can be used where the bioretention installation is proposed in close proximity to buildings, in areas where the water table is high and over contaminated soils Space section - 3rd bullet, second line - add hyphen between 'trade' and 'off' 4th bullet should be changed to read '...from having very curvilinear, soft edges and variable depth...'. Add a hyphen between 'hard' and 'sided' 6th bullet - add 'with' before 'regards'. Change text to read, '...check to ensure that the future canopy height...' Overflow routing section - sidebar sketches should include labels 'Off-line' and 'On-line' in order to correspond with the text in the 'Routing' section Overflow Elevation section - 2nd line - 'timeltime' should be changed to 'timeline' Freeboard section - 3rd bullet - 'above grade' is repeated. Delete second 'above grade' and add hyphen between 'above' and 'grade' in the remaining reference. Gallery - 2nd image from the left. Correct the location of the photo credit and change capital 'B' in subsequent word to lower-case. Plant Selection section - Add text that discourages the use of non-native, invasive species and promotes use of native species that are indigenous to the region''
*Thank you for all of your edits, changes have been made on the [[Bioretention]] page.

''C.Davidson, Golder Associates - The Wiki says "Void Ratio of 0.4", but the Stormtech reference cited says "Porosity of 40%". These are not the same number. -Porosity = Volume of Voids / Total Volume of Material -Void Ratio = Volume of Voids / Volume of Solids For clearstone layer with 40% porosity, should not void ratio be 40% / 60%, or 0.67? SWMM5 also gives "Typical values range from 0.5 to 0.75 for gravel beds"''
*Thank you Chris, this has been changed to proper "Porosity value of 0.4" instead of "void ratio" on the [[Infiltration trenches]].
