[edit] Proposed split: Stormwater detention vault

Some text describing stormwater detention vaults (underground vaults) was recently added to this article. These vaults are not detention basins--they look different from basins and are built differently. Some or many of the underground storage devices/vaults are "off the shelf" commercial products. A separate article is needed for underground detention vaults (and possibly the related commercial products). Also, diagrams or photos of commercial devices should only be used if there is no non-commercial source. (Similar comments posted at Talk:Retention basin). Moreau1 (talk) 05:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I've created a new page for stormwater detention vault, for the reasons described above. I've deleted text on underground detention and other redundant/inaccurate info from the detention basin article. Also deleted commercial links, per WP:LINKS. Moreau1 (talk) 04:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References & External links to commercial websites

References & links associated with manufacturers or vendors of stormwater management devices should be replaced with neutral references such as journal articles or government publications. (I have added a few such references.) Moreau1 (talk) 05:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
