This table shows guidance on BMP selection based on physical feasibility characteristics of a site.
Link to this table.

BMP group Surface areaa Drainage area Soil infiltration rate Head Separation from bedrock Depth to seasonally high water table Maximum slopec Ultra-urban
Bioretention 7-10%; Minimum 200 ft2 5 acre maximum; 0.5-2.0 acre preferred Any soil; use underdrain for C and D soilsd 3 feet 3 feet 20%Yes
Filtration - media Negligible, except for access 5 acre maximum; 0.5-2.0 acre preferred Media part of designd 2-6 feet0 feet if enclosed 3 feet for vegetated; 0 feet if enclosed 20%Yes
Filtration - vegetative Varies based on depth 10 acre maximum Media part of design 2-6 feet 0 feet if enclosed 3 feet for vegetated; 0 feet if enclosed 20%Possible
Infiltration trench Varies based on depth 5 to 10 acre maximum Native soils with i >= 0.2 inches/hour 2-12 feet 3 feet 3 feet 15%Possible
Infiltration basin Varies based on depth 5 to 50 acre maximum Native soils with i >= 0.2 inches/hour 2-12 feet 3 feet 3 feet 15%No
Stormwater ponds 1-3% 10 to 25 acres recommendedb A or B soils may require liner 3-10 feet 0 feet (shallow soil limits design) 0 feet (except if hotspot or aquifer) 25%No
