 =====Regulatory Approach to Infiltration=====
@@ Line 22: / Line 24: @@
 Infiltration practices must be designed to meet the average annual infiltration goals included in the Dane County Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Ordinance.  Infiltration practice design takes into account the physical characteristics of the site such as: water table, soil types, limiting layers, and tributary land use.  In addition, infiltration practices may serve a dual purpose by mitigating thermal impacts.  [[bioretention device|Bioretention devices]] are often designed to achieve the county requirement for oil and grease treatment and sediment removal.
-The design of all infiltration practices designed to meet ordinance requirements shall comply with the information in this manual and applicable  [[https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/postconst_standards.html|DNR conservation technical standards]].

 =====Approved Models for Calculating Infiltration and Recharge=====
+====WinSLAMM====
+WinSLAMM (Source Loading and Management Model for Windows) was developed to evaluate nonpoint source pollutant loading in urban areas using small storm hydrology. The model and parameter files are made available through the DNR [[https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/slamm.html|website]].
+The model uses series of normal rainfall events to calculate the pollutant loading and runoff volumes generated. The user is able to route runoff through a  approved control devices, such as [[infiltration basin|infiltration basins]], [[bioretention device|bioretention devices]],  [[wet pond|wet ponds]], [[permeable pavement]], or catchbasins to determine how effectively these devices remove pollutants and infiltrate stormwater.
+WinSLAMM is an approved model for calculating infiltration and sediment control.

 ===Calculating Recharge===
 The recharge calculation is based upon the RECARGA model output, ‘Recharge’.  An example recharge calculation is provided below.

 =====Modeling Assumptions and Guidance=====
-*As with the use of any modeling software, it is important to understand the underlying principals and assumptions used to generate the model’s results.  Designers utilizing RECARGA or WinSLAMM modeling software are expected to read and understand the user manual prior to submitting plans that include modeling results.
