Editor's Notes
- 0-10% Coverage: Streams are structurally sound with good biodiversity and habitat 11-25% Coverage: Streambanks become unstable, biodiversity is lost, & water quality is degraded >25% Coverage: Stream life is lost & water quality is poor
- Soils support plant and animal biodiversity, sequester GH Soil temperature is important for seed germination, pest control, nitrogen uptake.
- Non-Structural: Preventative Restorative Early planning Structural: Mitigative Engineered/Designed After the fact
- Costs Vegetation Land area Benefits Biodiversity Water Quality Water Quantity We reduce the cost of: Pipes Detention basins Water quality facilities Catch basins Manholes Excavation Compaction

- Compared to a pipe, daylighting Slows, treats and cools the flow Contributes to biodiversity Fish habitat Animal passage Native plants Increases infiltration Can be an Costs Vegetation or other material to finish off swale look (not mulch – it floats!) Splash blocks Check dams Liners near footings (30 mil polyethylene or bentonite clay) Extra design and construction considerations Amenity Benefits Reduces the cost of: Excavation and compaction of pipe trench Pipe installation Eliminates the cost of base rock Slows, treats and cools the flow Contributes to biodiversity Fish habitat Animal passage Native plants Increases infiltration Can be an amenity
- Develop a plan that reuses resources in place Re-purpose previously disturbed areas Avoid sensitive areas. Reduce excavation. Limit compaction. Avoid building in areas that provide habitat for threatened and endangered species. Don't build in the floodplain, in wetlands, too close to waterways, or too close to coastal shorelines. Don't build on prime farmland or other significant soils. Build on gray or brownfields. Plan for transportation. To cross a stream with a utility, align it across a bridge or in casing above the stream instead of boring underneath the stream to bury it. Align utilities together in the same trench. Costs Working and designing around existing infrastructure Benefits Saves natural resources Reduce the cost of: Tipping fees Shipping Buying & installing new materials
- Filter air pollution Sequester carbon dioxide to roduce oxygen Reduce the heat island effect Provide erosion control Filter pollutants in water Reduce stormwater runoff Cool streams Increase property values Reduce property selling time Costs Arborist report Extra design considerations Define haul road & stockpile locations Design infrastructure around driplines Tree fencing (orange mesh or rented chainlink) Pre-construction meeting to coordinate intent with subs Benefits Increase property values Reduce property selling time Reduce the cost of: Clearing Erosion control Tree mitigation fees Planting and establishing new trees Irrigation system for new trees Stormwater management

- “ Sediment runoff rates from construction sites can be up to 20 times greater than agricultural sediment loss rates and 1000-2000 greater than those of forested lands .”
- Costs Keep it clean or a clogged filter sack will flood the street Benefits Easier to maintain than biobags Much better protection against polluted waters leaving the site
- Caine 2001 Snohomish County 2006 studies by WRG Costs Compost berm can be created with a bobcat or by blowing it in place Lack of familiarity Benefits No trenching, compaction, construction, or disposal Easier to maintain than sediment fences Much better protection against turbid waters leaving the site Compost can be spread over site when project is done instead of disposing of sediment fence
