Infiltration Trench

This page is currently a provisional source-backed entry point. In the live citations layer, infiltration-trench resolves through the Chapter 10.2 source bundle labeled Infiltration Basins, so the page avoids pretending there is a cleaner chapter identity than the current Sources/ evidence actually supports.

Structured citation evidence for this page lives in the sibling claim manifest.

Overview

In the current citations model, this page should be read as a large-scale infiltration-storage concept anchored to the live Chapter 10.2 source bundle. The important operational point is not the label but the fact that any credited performance depends on infiltration into native subsoil.

Source Mapping

The live citations layer resolves this route directly to the following canonical source bundles.

  • Route type: canonical
  • 2023 source bundle: Chapter 10.2 (2023_BMP_10_2) - Infiltration Basins
  • 2026 source bundle: Chapter 10.2 (2026_BMP_10_2) - Infiltration Basins

Key verified claims already tied to this page manifest: - The current source-backed identity for this page is the live Chapter 10.2 bundle labeled Infiltration Basins. - The page's credited use remains tied to Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 rather than to the page label alone.

Design Criteria

The reconciled design criteria below come from the live crosswalk and page-level claim set, not from the older narrative snapshot.

Parameter 2023 source value 2026 source value Change
SHWT separation 2 ft - measured from static SHWT 2 ft - measured from static SHWT unchanged

Source-backed criteria that still control this route: - The current source-backed identity for this page is the live Chapter 10.2 bundle labeled Infiltration Basins. - The page's credited use remains tied to Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 rather than to the page label alone.

Siting Constraints

The current source-backed siting review should focus on:

  • whether the site investigation supports infiltration into native subsoil
  • whether SHWT and hydraulic-impact conditions support the claimed use
  • whether pretreatment and sediment control are strong enough to preserve infiltration performance

Maintenance

Maintenance remains infiltration-centered:

  • keep pretreatment functioning
  • treat clogging and ponding as direct performance problems
  • monitor access, observation, and drawdown behavior after storms
