Soil and engineered media are fundamental design characteristics of most post-construction stormwater practices. Engineered media is a mixture of sand, fines (silt, clay), and organic matter utilized in stormwater practices, most frequently in bioretention practices. The media is typically designed to have a rapid infiltration rate, attenuate pollutants, and allow for plant growth. In some applications, soil or media amendments are utilized to improve soil conditions or enhance treatment effectiveness of a BMP.
