Water Quality Review - Kyle Virr - 512-974-2538 B-166 of 7 WQ1: CLEARED WQ2: ECM 1.6.7(H)(2) Release of this application does not constitute a verification of all data, information, and calculations supplied by the applicant. The engineer of record is solely responsible for the completeness, accuracy, and adequacy of his/her submittal, whether or not the application is reviewed for code compliance by city engineers. Soil conditions - When siting a full or partial infiltration rain garden, appropriate soil conditions must be present. The depth to an impermeable layer must be at least 12 inches below the bottom of the rain garden. For full infiltration rain gardens, the underlying native soil must have a design infiltration rate that will draw down the full ponded depth in less than 48 hours. For example, for a 12-inch maximum ponding depth, the design infiltration rate must be at least 0.25 inches per hour. For a 6-inch maximum ponding depth, the design infiltration rate must be least 0.13 inches per hour. For a 3-inch maximum ponding depth, the minimum design infiltration rate is 0.06 inches per hour. The design infiltration rate is based on applying at least a factor of safety of two (2) to the measured steady state saturated infiltration rate (i.e., the design infiltration rate is equal to one-half of the measured infiltration rate). A higher factor of safety may be used at the discretion of the design engineer to take into variability associated with assessment methods, soil texture, soil uniformity, influent sediment loads, and compaction during construction. For full infiltration systems, the infiltration rate of the soil subgrade below the growing medium of the rain garden must be determined using in-situ testing as described in Section 1.6.7.4. If a range of values is measured then the geometric mean should be used. U1: Comment stands U2: Comment stands pending WQ6. WQ3: CLEARED WQ4: CLEARED WQ5: CLEARED WQ6: ECM 1.6.7(H)(2) Land Use - The use of rain gardens as a water quality control is limited to Commercial, Multi-Family, Civic Uses, Public Right of Way , and single family residential projects.

A minimum of four (4) single-family lots must be treated by the rain garden. 3. No rain gardens are to be located in backyards or fenced in yards. 4. The City of Austin will provide functional maintenance per City Code Section 25-8-231. Homeowners may add additional native landscaping and provide care that is more frequent.
