Construction and Performance of Bioretention Cells

World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009, 2009
Bioretention cell are gaining popularity as a stormwater best management practice (BMP). This can be largely attributed to the fact that they present a broad range of potential benefits such as decreased runoff, thermal attenuation, aesthetics and improved water quality through various physical, chemical and biological processes.

Accumulation of typical persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals in bioretention facilities: distribution, risk assessment, and microbial community impact.

Environmental Research
Bioretention facilities have proven highly effective in removing pollutants from runoff. However, there is a concerning paucity of research on the contamination characteristics and associated risks posed by refractory pollutants in these facilities ...

Assessing the removal of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and occurrence of metal resistance genes and antibiotic resistance genes in a stormwater bioretention system.

Chemosphere
Bioretention basins are extensively used in urban areas to manage stormwater by reducing peak flows and pollution. This study evaluated the performance of a bioretention basin in removing heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and oil and

In Situ Bioretention Design Concept

Low Impact Development 2010, 2010
Since its initial development and application in 1993, the bioretention system also referred to as rain gardens has rapidly become one of the most versatile and widely used BMPs throughout the US and many parts of the world. It has recently become identified as a preferred site practice for green building design and LEEDS certification.

Predictors of Phosphorus Leaching from Bioretention Soil Media

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2017
The phosphorus saturation index (PSI) and P saturation ratio (PSR) were tested across a wide range of bioretention soil mixtures (BSMs) for their relationship to total and dissolved P in column leachate. The BSMs tested were made using different feedstocks including sand alone, food and yard waste compost, biosolids and yard compost, and high Fe ...

Investigation of pollutants accumulation in the submerged zone for pyrite-based bioretention facilities under continuous rainfall events.

Journal of Environmental Management
Submerged zone in bioretention facilities for stormwater treatment has been approved to be an effective structure amendment to improve denitrification capability.

Bioretention Cell Design and Construction Specifications

2007 Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 17-20, 2007, 2007
Non-point source pollution is a major concern in many watersheds. Nutrients, heavy metals, and organic chemicals contained in NPS pollution negatively impact water quality due to the large volumes and widespread nature of the flow. Bioretention cells offer a means to reduce the velocity of the flow and reduce the pollutant load associated with NPS ...

Urban stormwater green infrastructure: Evaluating the public health service role of bioretention using microbial source tracking and bacterial community analyses.

Water Research
Bioretention cells (BRCs) control stormwater flow on-site during precipitation, reducing runoff and improving water quality through chemical, physical, and biological processes.

Bioretention processes for phosphorus pollution control

Environmental Reviews, 2010
Phosphorus is a water pollutant of concern around the world as it limits the productivity of most freshwater systems which can undergo eutrophication under high phosphorus inputs. The importance of treating stormwater as part of an integrated phosphorus pollution management plan is now recognized.

Leaching sources and mechanisms of different nitrogen species from bioretention systems.

Water Research
At present, nitrogen (N) leaching from bioretention systems (BRSs) has become a key issue, imposing constraints on their application, a consequence of N dynamics of both inflow and legacy N at different time scales.
