Abstract:
The bioretention box includes a vault, a lid and a removable grate positioned within the lid, the combination of the vault, lid and grate being positionable with a dugout subgrade region and capable of supporting vehicular traffic within a parking area. Within the bioretention box is a treatment region to remove contaminants from storm water ingress. The treated water moves through openings in the bottom of the vault or through pipes to outside the vault, to a storm drain. The bioretention box includes overflow pipes which accommodate heavy storm water flows.
