Bridgeman Downs: Fiesole Place Wetland
  Site#:0010
Fiesole Pl uses a ‘treatment train’ which composes of a trash rack and detention basin and a wetland.
The trash rack prevents large amounts of debris blocking the drainpipes. The sedimentation pond will reduce sediment loads to downstream waterways by providing at-source treatment.
The wetland is used for filtering of finer suspended solids and for aquatic habitat.
Native vegetation including wetland plants are planted around the perimeter of the pond.
