Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of bioretention as an innovative stormwater quality management practice. Bioretention is a method to treat the first flush of runoff using a combination of retention, native terrestrial vegetation and soil conditioning. The material presented in this paper is the result of a study to determine the technical feasibility of using bioretention for stormwater management. The study addresses the plant materials suitability, hydrology, water quality, and soil materials aspects of bioretention.
