As a result, when a fire truck hit a pothole, it broke an axle, and the highway began to crack. The two firemen escaped with only minor injuries, and the road was closed until Antrim County's engineers decided the best replacement option was an Aluminum Structural Plate for its quick design and installation.

Protecting Phosphorus Limited Receiving Waters with Stormwater Control Measures

Bioretention has been the principal form of Low-Impact Development (LID) used to slow, treat, retain and infiltrate stormwater runoff, mimicking a site's natural, pre-development hydrology. One aspect of bioretention that has some scientists and regulators concerned is the phenomenon known as nutrient leaching.
