New Test Method for Field test for quality control check on bioretention media
1. Scope
Create a test standard that can be used for field testing of mixed bioretention media before installation. This test should measure hydraulic conductivity to ensure that the bioretention media meets the design standard when delivered.Keywords

Current test standards require laboratory conditions for evaluation of media (i.e. column studies) or are intended for in-situ soils. Many existing standards do not fall in the flow rate range required for evaluation of engineered bioretention media.
