Environmental Quality Resources, LLC Bioretention & LID EQRs’ experience spans over 25 years installing and maintaining many different types of LID/ESD projects and has been one of the leaders in the industry developing specifications and details for the design community. These systems include rain gardens, bioretention facilities, infiltration and filtration swales, gravel wetlands, high flow media systems, permeable pavements, cisterns and proprietary filter systems. Our trained crews understand these facilities are designed to retain water and filter pollutants and follow quality control procedures to make sure we meet regulatory and design parameters. Additional functions are pollutant filtering, heavy metal removal, thermal pollution reduction, reduction of high energy flow levels, evapotranspiration while providing habitat for birds and beneficial insects in an attractive native landscape. Many bioretention areas and other LID systems require underdrains, (piping), cleanouts and observation wells and stone storage layers. Most include highly engineered soils, mulch, and native plants.

Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. (WSSI) designed the pond, which includes two bioretention areas with multiple weirs, to increase the aesthetic appeal as well as provide significant benefit for both humans and storm water treatment. A 15,000-gallon cistern was placed in the pond to collect and hold water after rain events and used in the pond. Excess storm water was also released into the local storm water facilities after peak flows were present, therefore reducing the impact on local waterways. Rainwater fed the bubbler fountain centered in a pedestrian plaza with a bioretention area and a pond. The project increases water quality and reduces peak flows around the fountain. Fairfax County Landscape Architect John Palmer passed away suddenly from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and this project is dedicated to his memory. The project was just landscaped, so it will only get better looking as this season and the years go by. EQRBubba Award CALL US CONNECT WITH US!
