Rain Gardens/Bioretention Cells

15

• Plants and soil filter pollutants from stormwater runoff

• Bowl shape encourages percolation and infiltration

Rain Garden Tips

16

Commercial properties:• Meet NC DEQ design standards as closely as possible (maximum side slopes, 

internal water storage, bioretention media depths)• Design will most likely vary from drawing below

Residential properties:• Add sand and organic matter to soil if it has a lot of clay• See below for recommended design specifications

All properties:• Meet with Stormwater staff for soil test

Permeable Pavers

17

• Encourages soil percolation and infiltration

• Pea gravel filters pollutants

Permeable Paver Tips

18

All properties:• A soil test by a licensed soil scientist is required to check for expansive clays 

and seasonal high water table (reimbursement is provided if the project continues after the soil test)

• Meet NC DEQ design standards as closely as possible• Include a filter strip if pavers are located next to mulched landscaping or 

yard runoff that would carry sediment• We prefer that stormwater remains stored in the drainage layer for 

infiltration (underdrain should contain upturned elbow)

Cisterns

19

• Water reuse• Encourages soil infiltration• Nitrogen in water decreases fertilizer need

Cistern Tips

20

All properties:• Estimate general water usage and try to make sure the water collected will 

be used• Include passive drawdown to allow cistern to drain during winter months 

when it isn’t used• Unless there is a significant need for water, the size of the cistern should be 

no larger than the amount of runoff produced in a 1‐inch storm
