− | * Freeboards should be adequate to prevent over-topping during storm events and allow overflow of less frequent storm events through controlled and protected emergency overflow points. Berm freeboards should also consider berm soil consolidation and subsidence, and also that the wetland can gradually fill with vegetation and with sediments which increase flow resistance and decrease freeboard during wetland life. | + | * [[Freeboard]]s should be adequate to prevent over-topping during storm events and allow overflow of less frequent storm events through controlled and protected emergency overflow points.
