An Infiltration Basin is a large earthen structure designed to capture, store, and infiltrate stormwater water runoff. Infiltration basins rely on naturally permeable soils to fully infiltrate the designed water quality volume. Infiltration basins are typically off-line practices utilizing an emergency spillway or outlet structure to capture the volume of stormwater runoff for which the basin is designed. Volumes that exceed the rate or volume of the infiltration basin are allowed to bypass the BMP. | An Infiltration Basin is a large earthen structure designed to capture, store, and infiltrate stormwater water runoff.

Overview
An Infiltration Basin is a large earthen structure designed to capture, store, and infiltrate stormwater water runoff. Infiltration basins rely on naturally permeable soils to fully infiltrate the designed water quality volume. Infiltration basins are typically off-line practices utilizing an emergency spillway or outlet structure to capture the volume of stormwater runoff for which the basin is designed. Volumes that exceed the rate or volume of the infiltration basin are allowed to bypass the BMP.
