Maintenance of Stormwater Bmps: Frequency, Effort and Cost
نویسندگان
چکیده
While there are many resources available to aid in the design and construction of most structural stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), there are few guides pertaining to their operation and maintenance. Historically, it seems as though “build-em” and walk has been common-place. However, increasing focus upon mass balances, numeric goal setting and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), now requires that much more emphasis be placed upon BMP operation and maintenance for permitting and reporting requirements (e.g. the National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program and specifically as a part of municipal Stormwater Pollution Prevention Programs (SWPPP) reporting.)

Comparative Assessment of Stormwater and Nonpoint Source Pollution Best Management Practices in Suburban
Nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management are two objectives in managing mixed land use watersheds like those in New Jersey. Various best management practices (BMPs) have been developed and implemented to achieve both objectives. This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of selected BMPs for agricultural nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management in the Nesha...
متن کاملThe need for collaboration among government agencies to reduce mosquito production in mandated stormwater treatment structures.
Efforts to improve water quality increasingly rely on structural stormwater best management practices (BMPs) to remove pollutants from urban runoff. These structures can unintentionally produce mosquitoes and may play a role in the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. A questionnaire was distributed to over 300 stormwater and mosquito control agencies in the United States to assess the prevalence...
متن کاملRole of Resilience in Sustainable Urban Stormwater Management
Typically, best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to help sustainable stormwater management in urban areas. Over recent decades the selection of urban stormwater management measures for a site has been a challenge among urban planners where thecriterion based on flood volume no longer suffices for selecting urban drainage solutions. Therefore there is a need to consider a set of holis...
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 کاملBest management practices for nutrient and sediment retention in urban stormwater runoff.
Stormwater management infrastructure is utilized in urban areas to alleviate flooding caused by decreased landscape permeability from increased impervious surface cover (ISC) construction. In this study, we examined two types of stormwater detention basins, SDB-BMPs (stormwater detention basin-best management practice), and SDB-FCs (stormwater detention basin-flood control). Both are constructe...
