RE: Biofiltration Rain Garden

Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation has a BMP manual with a few pages of information. You probably need a Landscape Architect to specify appropriate vegetation.

Another good source is from Kansas City.  They have worked to promote LID on an individual basis for several years now.  Do a google on "1000 raingardens".  They have a lot of plant and design info available as well.
