Oldcastle Precast announced that its BioMod Modular Bioretention System received equivalency approval from the Washington State Department of Ecology as a stormwater bioretention planter or planter box. The BioMod system is a conventional, vegetated bioretention system designed as a series of modular precast concrete sections that are filled with layers of mulch, bioretention media, and drain rock. By granting the BioMod “functional equivalency,” Ecology formally recognized that Oldcastle’s system does not need to go through the TechnologyAssessment Protocol – Ecology (TAPE) program for approval and may be designed using the same standards and criteria as any non-proprietary bioretention planter or planter box.
