*In [[bioretention]] the freeboard is the depth between the invert of the [[overflow]] and the [[inlet]]. 150 mm will suffice, so long as the inlet will not become inundated during design storm conditions.   
*In above grade [[stormwater planters]], the equivalent dimension would be the depth between the invert of the overflow and the lip of the planter (150 mm minimum)

*In above grade [[stormwater planters]], the equivalent dimension would be the depth between the invert of the overflow and the lip of the planter (150 mm minimum)
*Where the stormwater planter is configured more like a lined/non-infiltrating bioretention system, the inlet will be the depth to which this is measured, as above (150 mm minimum).
