Design Spec
Design Spec: Sheet Flow to a Vegetated Filter Space or Conserved Open Space, 2013
Developed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, this design specification (Version 2.0, 2013) provides guidance on using vegetated filter strips and conserved open space to treat sheet flow from impervious and managed turf areas. It helps designers plan and size these practices to slow runoff, promote filtration and settling, and achieve effective runoff reduction when stormwater is distributed as uniform sheet flow.
