Storm Water Infiltration in Clay Soils: A Case Study of Storm Water Retention and Infiltration Techniques in the North Carolina Piedmont
Publication: Low Impact Development: New and Continuing Applications
Abstract
Two case studies will be reviewed, highlighting the merits of storm water infiltration in the Charlotte area. Within the geologic region of the "Charlotte Belt," soils are typically high in clay. These two project sites are underlain by soils in the Cecil series, classified by the NRCS as well drained, moderately permeable soils. The third project site, included for comparison, is underlain by poorly drained Monacan and Iredell soils.
