- ↑ Minimum depth between the base of the facility and the elevation of the seasonally high water table or top of bedrock
- ↑ Infiltration rate estimates based on measurements of hydraulic conductivity under field saturated conditions at the proposed location and depth of the practice
- ↑ Vertical distance between the inlet and outlet of the LID practice
- ↑ Percent of open pervious land on the site that is required for the LID practice
- ↑ Slope at the LID practice location
- ↑ Suitable in pollution hot spots or runoff source areas where land uses or activities have the potential to generate highly contaminated runoff
- ↑ Suitability in areas of karst geologic formations
- ↑ | Drinking Water Source Protection wellhead protection area time of travel
