Establishing Target Effluent Concentrations for Stormwater Control Measures
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that stormwater be controlled to the maximum extent practicable through the use of stormwater control measures. These regulations are enforced by state and local governments, who often require the use of SCMs to comply with total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). State and local governments also provide guidance on SCM design and assign load reductions, efficiency ratios, and percent removals for various pollutants. However, the load reduction and percent removal methods that are often used to regulate development do Establishing Target Effluent Concentrations for Stormwater Control Measures

Mineral and Anthropogenic Indicator Inorganics in Urban Stormwater and Snowmelt Runoff: Sources and Mobility Patterns
Inorganic chemicals in urban stormwater and snowmelt runoff originate from catchment geology and anthropogenic activities. The occurrence, partitioning and mobility of six minerals and six trace metal (TM) indicators of anthropogenic activities were studied in stormwater, snowmelt and baseflow in four urban catchments, and the sampling of inorganics was supplemented by measurements of electrica...

Nowadays, urbanization is a common process which replaces vegetation cover with impervious areas. This process increases urban stormwater. A new tendency in urban stormwater management endorses ‘source control’, whereby distributed water sensitive urban design systems are built throughout the subdivisions to alleviate the effects of land use changes. Various costs and functions are ...
متن کاملPolyurethane foam (PUF) passive samplers for monitoring phenanthrene in stormwater.
Pollution from highway stormwater runoff has been an increasing area of concern. Many structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been implemented for stormwater treatment and management. One challenge for these BMPs is to sample stormwater and monitor BMP performance. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using polyurethane foam (PUF) passive samplers (PSs) f...
متن کاملStormwater management criteria for on-site pollution control: a comparative assessment of international practices.
Over the last decade, a growing interest has been shown toward innovative stormwater management practices, breaking away from conventional "end of pipe" approaches (based on conveying water offsite to centralized detention facilities). Innovative strategies, referred to as sustainable urban drainage systems, low impact development (LID) or green infrastructures, advocating for management of run...
متن کاملAssessment of Biosorption Activated Media under Roadside Swales for the Removal of Phosphorus from Stormwater
Stormwater runoff from highways is a source of pollution to surface water bodies and groundwater. Excess loadings of phosphorus in stormwater discharged to surface water bodies can result in eutrophication. Treatment of stormwater for phosphorus is necessary in order to sustain ecological and economical benefits related to aquatic resources. If phosphorus is removed, the water can be sustained ...
