New Guide for quality control check on bioretention media
1. Scope
This guide is intended to provide a framework for field checks on bioretention media before it is installed. These checks will describe both media composition and performance specifications critical to the health and function of the stormwater facility receiving the media.
Keywords
bioretention; stormwater; infiltration; green infrastructure; filters
Rationale
There is currently no field check guide specific to the characteristics of bioretention media required for reliable bioretention facility performance creating an incomplete chain-of-custody from supplier to installation. This standard seeks to create a framework for a document that can provide quality control continuity throughout the supply process. It is expected that specifying engineers would require a certifricate-of-conformity or similar document based on this guide be delivered along with the media to trace the QC back to the media manufacturer.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
