A bioretention cell that ponds for days, a restored channel that flanks its own structures, a created wetland that dries out by August. These failures rarely come from carelessness. They come from a design assumption, a construction shortcut, or a maintenance gap that nobody connected until years later.
This handbook closes that gap. It treats hydrology, soils, and vegetation as one engineering foundation, then carries that foundation into stormwater practices, stream and floodplain restoration, wetland mitigation, living shorelines, wildlife crossings, urban forests, and contaminated sites, with the sizing checks, specifications, and hold points each one demands.
Critical values sit in clean tables you can verify against your governing manual instead of digging through paragraphs. Photorealistic figures carry only the labels that teach, and decision flowcharts guide the calls that matter in the field.
Unlike references that stop at the drawing, this one follows the project through construction, establishment, monitoring, failure diagnosis, and closeout, the stages where projects are truly won or lost. It is the practitioner's reference for real sites, tight corridors, and changing rainfall.
Put these field-proven capabilities to work:
- Read a site before design begins, spotting headcuts, perched water tables, buried fill, and utility conflicts that derail projects late.
- Size and specify bioretention, permeable pavement, green roofs, and tree trenches with media, underdrain, and pretreatment details that keep them draining.
- Design stable channels and banks using bankfull, sediment competence, and shear stress checks, and recognize when rock is the right answer.
- Build wetlands and living shorelines that meet their standards by grading to hydroperiod and tidal datums rather than to a drawing.
- Navigate permits with confidence, from Section 404 and 401 to floodplain no-rise and coastal consistency, sequenced against real construction windows.
- Diagnose failures accurately, separating design, construction, and maintenance causes before spending money on repairs.
- Hand over assets that last, with as-built records, crew-ready maintenance cards, and funding strategies for decades of stewardship.
- Study the figures in full color with the included color PDF version, ideal for soil color, thermal imaging, and model outputs.
Whether you design, review, build, or maintain ecological infrastructure, this reference equips you with the checks, specifications, and field judgment to get it right the first time, with a full-color PDF version included for the figures where color carries the meaning.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
