There are two primary types of bioreten- <br />re commonly found in Roseville: <br />asins reduce immediate strain on the sewer system after a storm by control- <br />face <br />ontrol£ace water flow rate and increasing water quality. Once the water is filtered <br />soil, an outflow pipe drains into the storm sewer or other water body. <br />basins similarly control the flaw rate and quality of surface storm water. <br />rain gardens, these basins allow the water to infiltrate through the soil and <br />o the local groundwater instead of being carried away. <br />asins have vegetation and soils that need to be inspected and managed reg - <br />roper functionality. They should be inspected quarterly at a minimum, and <br />the BMP has recent or recurring issues. An inspection form can be found <br />X this page. <br />=filtration Basin <br />ao .of•oed <br />]filtration Basin <br />Primary Concerns <br />Sedimentation and erosion are the <br />most common issues with bioretention <br />basins in Roseville. Inlets, outlets, and <br />pretreatment structures should be <br />clear of sediment in order for the BMP <br />to function properly. Standing water <br />in the basin is an indicator of poor in- <br />filtration, likely due to sedimentation, <br />and should be immediately addressed. <br />City Code <br />ordinances regarding stormwater <br />best management practices can be <br />d in Chapter 803 of the Roseville <br />and particular ordinances re- <br />ing erosion and sedimentation <br />ml can be found in 803.04.
