Black Hawk Bioretention cellUNI Towers Bioretention Cell, Cedar FallsThe biocell captures runoff from 70 percent of the parking lot adjacent to Dancer and Bender Halls on the UNI campus.$5,000Planted with native species from the Tallgrass Prairie Center at UNI.1,000We have two first flush collection devices on site to monitor for TSS, oils and grease. One is installed in the south curb cut to capture runoff as it enters the cell. The other is a control, installed in the flume that captures all the runoff from a second lot. We also have a monitoring well connected to the subdrain to monitor any outflow activity from the cell. Parking in the lot requires a university permit. However, there is parking along Campus Street near the biocell.SUDAS design specifications for unified sizing criteria and calculated water quality volume were used.
