Do you have examples about publications discussing stormwater biofiltration during construction works? I think I have heard that if biofiltration or any other vegetated stormwater management practices have been planned for a new residential area, those systems should not be built ready before the contruction works have ended, i.e. the sediments from the construction sites may destroy the structures. For this reason, these stormwater management structures may have some kind of temporary function during the construction period of the resdiential area (e.g. detention pond with some temporary vegetation) and they will be finalized after the construction projects end. But now I am finding it difficult to actually find a publication that really says it is so! Hope you can help me.
These may help:
