This April 21 photo shows a bioretention cell (a storm water management practice) that collects runoff from a parking lot at the Fort Detrick water treatment plant, renovated by the Baltimore District. The bioretention cell is composed of vegetation, engineered soil media, and gravel layers that filter pollutants, such as sediment, from the parking lot runoff. A stone channel prevents erosion as storm water is conveyed to the bioretention cell. Storm water management practices such as this are required by the Maryland Department of the Environment on district construction projects. (U.S. Army photo by Clem Gaines)
