Infiltration basins have been a common means of stormwater management across the United States, as well as internationally, for more than three decades. A large constructed soil basin—up to 50 acres in area—with a complex permeable base and engineered pretreatment inflow and sides is designed to allow stormwater to infiltrate into the soil within 72 hours of inundation. When planned, designed and constructed correctly, infiltration basins can function effectively for 15 years or longer. Unfortunately, a high percentage of infiltration basins fail well in advance of their planned service life. It is a widespread problem that has been addressed with standards, guidelines, manuals and definitive regulations over many decades. Yet, the high failure rate of infiltration basins persists. MnDOT’s Office of Environmental Stewardship sought to learn the best practices that other state agencies employ to mitigate infiltration basin failure and make corrections when failure occurs.
