5. Naturalized Infiltration Basin- an earthen structure constructed either by impoundment of a
natural depression or excavation of existing soil that provides temporary storage and infiltration
of stormwater runoff.
How can you apply this in your park? Existing and new stormwater management basins can be
naturalized with native plantings to aid in faster infiltration and to provide wildlife habitat.
Basins can be planted with native wildflowers and warm season grasses that are attractive and
low maintenance.
