==Storage reservoir==
==Storage reservoir==
+The storage reservoir layer holds and directs the stormwater into the underlying/native soils. The LID facilities, if applicable, should be filled with uniformly graded, washed stone (20 mm – 50 mm) that provides 30 to 40% void space.
−'''Construction steps:'''
+#Backfill material from outside of the LID facility to avoid compaction and sediment entering the facilities. Use a slinger truck if possible.
+#Place the material to the elevation and thickness as per the design specifications.
+'''Key Inspection Points:'''
+*Material arrival to the site:
+**Check chain of custody
+**Verify it meets specifications as per design
+**Verify no debris or fines within the aggregate (it’s a washed stone)
+*Granular material should be 19 - 50 mm clear stone or as per design. See [[Aggregates]] for further details.
+*Installed aggregate is at the correct elevation as per design.
+'''Mistakes to Avoid:'''
+*Accepting material that does not meet design requirements and specifications.
+*Installing material with heavy equipment from the inside of the LID facility
+*Installing frozen aggregate. Do not install frozen aggregate
+*Leaving heavy equipment (excavator) for long periods of time within the LID facility.
