GDSW Study Materials - Stormwater BMPs

[Lucie Simmons]

Hi I just want to share a great resource I just found for Stormwater BMPs. I was having trouble discerning between the nuanced characteristics of a bioretention basin, infiltration basin, retention, detention etc., and came across this website from Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. 

Dropping it here in case anyone else needs one complete place to compare all of these things. If you click on the left side menu it'll take you to detailed pages for each of the BMP types.
