What is Green Infrastructure for Clay Soils in Pittsburgh about?
This document discusses addressing green infrastructure design challenges in clay soils in the Pittsburgh region. Clay soils present difficulties for stormwater infiltration but several methods can be used: 1) conducting soil testing and selecting appropriate practices, 2) using non-infiltration practices or 3) amending soils, protecting existing soils, and designing structures to promote infiltration. Two case studies show rain gardens and bioswales can effectively manage stormwater even in clay soils.
