Abstract

The goal of this project was to develop, adopt, or adapt treatment BMP algorithms for estimating and assessing the performance of distributed and regional BMPs. The algorithms will serve as the basis for the development of BMP performance modules within the BMP Selection/Receiving Water Protection Toolbox and will be used along with other models/algorithms to complete transport routing and delivery to the receiving water (via a receiving water model) of interest. Based on applicable unit treatment processes, available performance data, and desired level of user input requirements, the report recommends a suite of BMP modeling approaches. The report also includes Stormwater BMP and Pollutant Fact Sheets. Published by WERF. 258 pages. Online PDF. (2013)
