▼ Water possesses several qualities that contribute to positive aesthetic experience. But these qualities are rarely exploited in our cities. On one hand we treat water as an exciting element adorning our city squares in the form of fountains, while on the other hand is the merely functional drainage system. We overlook the possibility of utilizing
stormwater for recreational and aesthestic purposes. The detention basins being designed today are still a single purpose facility. Some are rectangular boxes and look like mud holes in the ground, surrounded by fences. This thesis proposes a design that transforms such detention basins in the Southeast Clarke County Community Park, Athens, GA, into a multi-use amenity providing recreation, aesthetic value and wildlife habitat along with flood control. The design proposal exposes the flow of
stormwater and brings people in contact with it, putting it back into the social consciousness of the urban society. The proposal illustrates that detention ponds do not have to be sterile and ugly but can be attractive and form sustainable systems.

▼ I collected samples and hydrologic data from the inflow and outflow of a campus rain garden for 10 storm events over eight months. The rain garden consistently decreased loads of sediment, ammonium, and total phosphorus and consistently increased loads of nitrate. I also modeled the collective impacts of rain gardens in two Athens-area watersheds for a 10-year period using SWAT. The urban watershed experienced frequent large peak discharges in storm events, while the forested watershed showed less frequent, lower peak discharges from those same storms. Routing 30% of runoff generated by an urban watershed through rain gardens showed reductions in peak discharge of 30% and did not “overtreat” discharge or reduce peak discharge below that of a forested pre-development watershed. Numerous barriers exist that prevent the widespread installation of rain gardens across Georgia, and I discuss the role of policy in removing those barriers.

▼ Stormwater user fees (SUFs) are an increasingly popular method of generating revenue for municipalities responsible for implementing complex
stormwater regulations through the NPDES permit program. These fees can be created in a multitude of ways, including a flat fee for each parcel, charging by parcel area, charging based on a runoff factor, and many others. As a case study, eight SUFs were applied to the City of Roanoke and the Town of Blacksburg, both in Virginia, to determine the effect each SUF has on how land use type impacts the revenue composition. The City of Roanoke is larger and includes more industrial areas, but less multifamily impervious areas than Blacksburg, which translates differently in the SUFs. Residential parcels comprise the highest percentage of the revenue in all eight SUFs in Blacksburg and four in Roanoke. Open space parcels don't contain much impervious area yet account for up to 27% of the revenue. Industrial parcels comprise more of the revenue in Roanoke, averaging 11.1% compared to 4.6% in Blacksburg. A detailed digitized land cover dataset was compared to Blacksburg's land cover dataset, which resulted in maximum difference of 0.02 per parcel for residential parcel fees. Exemptions of large parcels in Roanoke, like the railroad and airport, if enacted would result in a maximum increase in fees of 15% and a shift of 7,491 of the monthly revenue to the residential parcels.

▼ An urban flood damage model for the drainage area serve by Pump Station No. 4 (Prentiss, New Orleans, Louisiana) has been completed. This study presents the research effort needed to develop a
stormwater management model (SWMM) integrated with GIS that includes a Damage Model to estimate the losses produced by storm events on flood prone areas. The latest LIDAR data are used for the topography. The drainage area for this study covers approximately 3218 acres, with elevations ranging from -9 ft to 6 ft above sea level. The runoff produced is pumped into Lake Pontchartrain via London Outfall Canal. The study area includes a pump station with a capacity of 106 m3/s and a complex drainage system including a 10 ft siphon that drains the runoff on the western side. The hydrology and hydraulic routing for the watershed was estimated using the U.S. EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and the input of the model was created using a geodatabase composed of nodes, conduits and subcatchment areas developed in ArcGIS 8.2. The GIS was designed to take advantage of the importing node and graphic capabilities of the SWMM. Since all features used by SWMM were georeferenced, node flood elevation data were transferred back for display in geographic space. This approach allows for a more accurate volume computation of flooded areas by using Boolean operations on a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) surface of node elevations and a TIN surface of LIDAR elevation data. Flood volumes were obtained for the study area by simulating a series of rain events. These flood volumes were then incorporated into a Damage model to estimate damage rating curves for the study area. The 1:100 year damage was estimated to be 17.2 million of dollars (2005 US dollars). The average annual flood damage was estimated to be 5.5 million of dollars (2005 US dollars). The developed Annual Flood Maps can be used to set rational flood insurance rates or to plan improvements to the drainage system. This information can be used by FEMA and by the private insurance industry of the State

▼ Cities, counties and other
stormwater management agencies throughout the United States face billions of dollars of urban
stormwater improvements each year to meet total maximum daily load (TMDL) regulations. In many cases, they will accomplish this by implementing
stormwater control measures (SCMs) that are designed to capture urban
stormwater and remove pollutants before the
stormwater is discharged back to receiving waters. A wide variety of SCMs exist, each with unique pollutant removal performance and associated costs. A critical aspect of TMDL projects is modeling alternative SCM implementation strategies to evaluate which strategies offer the greatest opportunity of TMDL compliance at reasonable costs. However, current SCM modeling practice suffers from several deficiencies, particularly as it relates to modeling for TMDL compliance. One problem is that most SCM modeling studies do not incorporate uncertainty analysis (UA), despite recommendations from the National Research Council (NRC) and others. This is generally due to a lack of knowledge for how to perform UA, lack of available models/algorithms that include UA capabilities and/or perceptions by decision makers that UA will not affect the most cost-effective decision. Another problem is that SCM models are typically calibrated and operated on an "event-basis" (assuming steady-state hydraulic conditions), whereas most watershed and receiving water models operate dynamically. This presents practical difficulties for modelers as they link watershed models to SCM models to receiving water models for TMDL studies and can also affect decision making as SCM model results are based on events and many TMDLs are
subject to durations of hours, days, months, etc. This dissertation addresses those problems by providing new tools and knowledge that can improve SCM modeling and decision making for TMDL compliance. In Chapter 2 ("Uncertainty Analysis of a
Stormwater Control Measure Model using Global Sensitivity Analysis and Bayesian Approaches"), we compare different UA methods and use global sensitivity analysis to determine the most sensitive parameters in a new pollutant removal model. We conclude that an informal Bayesian approach (the Generalized Uncertainty Estimation Method) provides better estimates of SCM pollutant removal uncertainty compared to a formal Bayesian approach. We also show that the TSS removal in EDBs is most sensitive to the particle size distribution and particle density of solids in the runoff entering EDBs. In Chapter 3 ("Appraisal of Steady-State
Stormwater Control Measure Pollutant Removal Models within a Dynamic
Stormwater Routing Framework with Uncertainty Analysis"), we evaluate the effects of applying three different event-based (steady-state) SCMs models to a dynamic modeling framework. The linear regression model produces almost identical outputs under both steady-state and dynamic conditions, however the modified Fair and Geyer (MFG) model and k-C* model both produce results that underestimate TSS pollutant removal by 20-90% at the…

▼ The current state of knowledge in relation to first flush does not provide a clear understanding of the role of rainfall and catchment characteristics in influencing this phenomenon. This is attributed to the inconsistent findings from research studies due to the unsatisfactory selection of first flush indicators and how first flush is defined. The research study discussed in this thesis provides the outcomes of a comprehensive analysis on the influence of rainfall and catchment characteristics on first flush behaviour in residential catchments. Two sets of first flush indicators are introduced in this study. These indicators were selected such that they are representative in explaining in a systematic manner the characteristics associated with first flush.
Stormwater samples and rainfall-runoff data were collected and recorded from stormwater monitoring stations established at three urban catchments at Coomera Waters, Gold Coast, Australia. In addition, historical data were also used to support the data analysis. Three water quality parameters were analysed, namely, total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). The data analyses were primarily undertaken using multi criteria decision making methods, PROMETHEE and GAIA. Based on the data obtained, the pollutant load distribution curve (LV) was determined for the individual rainfall events and pollutant types. Accordingly, two sets of first flush indicators were derived from the curve, namely, cumulative load wash-off for every 10% of runoff volume interval (interval first flush indicators or LV) from the beginning of the event and the actual pollutant load wash-off during a 10% increment in runoff volume (section first flush indicators or P).
First flush behaviour showed significant variation with pollutant types. TSS and TP showed consistent first flush behaviour. However, the dissolved fraction of TN showed significant differences to TSS and TP first flush while particulate TN showed similarities. Wash-off of TSS, TP and particulate TN during the first 10% of the runoff volume showed no influence from corresponding rainfall intensity. This was attributed to the wash-off of weakly adhered solids on the catchment surface referred to as "short term pollutants" or "weakly adhered solids" load. However, wash-off after 10% of the runoff volume showed dependency on the rainfall intensity. This is attributed to the wash-off of strongly adhered solids being exposed when the weakly adhered solids diminish. The wash-off process was also found to depend on rainfall depth at the end part of the event as the strongly adhered solids are loosened due to impact of rainfall in the earlier part of the event. Events with high intensity rainfall bursts after 70% of the runoff volume did not demonstrate first flush behaviour. This suggests that rainfall pattern plays a critical role in the occurrence of first flush.
Rainfall intensity (with respect to the rest of the event) that produces 10% to 20% runoff volume play an important role in defining…

▼ Stormwater runoff generated from urban areas can be a
source of contamination and may negatively impact receiving waters.
Best management practices, including the use of treatment wetlands,
are recommended to minimize impacts and maintain the quality of
water bodies receiving
stormwater discharge. This study focuses on
the viability of a natural wetland in the treatment of urban
runoff. Kuhn Marsh is a natural urban wetland located in Dartmouth,
NS. The wetland is approximately 2 ha in size and the primary inlet
is a
stormwater outfall servicing a 28 ha urban drainage area. Kuhn
Marsh has been receiving
stormwater generated from the urban
drainage area for decades. A wetland drainage area of approximately
9 ha contributes to surface runoff downstream of the wetland inlet.
Project objectives are defined as: (i) characterization of the
hydrology and hydraulics of the wetland system, (ii)
characterization of contaminant fluxes within the wetland system,
and (iii) analysis of the treatment performance of Kuhn Marsh.
Research strategies used to achieve project objectives include
physical and hydrologic characterization of the wetland and
contributing watersheds as well as surface and ground water quality
analysis. Monitoring was conducted in the wetland during both
baseflow and stormflow conditions from May 2011 through October
2012, with the exception of November 2011 to January 2012. Surface
water samples were analyzed in the laboratory for TSS, TOC, TN, TP,
turbidity, E.coli, and a suite of heavy metals including Fe, Pb,
Cu, Cd and Zn. In-situ surface water monitoring included DO,
temperature, conductivity and pH. Groundwater samples were analyzed
for E.coli and microbial source tracking was performed on all well
samples in addition to samples from the inlet and outlet of the
wetland. Results from the well samples and the wetland outlet were
inconclusive, however the wetland inlet showed human source
bacteria indicating potential sewer cross connections within the
stormwater system. It was determined that the wetland is an area of
groundwater discharge, with groundwater accounting for an average
of 50% of the volume discharging through the outlet control
structure. Largely due to groundwater influence, Kuhn Marsh shows
no peak flow dampening or volume reduction between inlet and
outlet. Minimal hydraulic retention times, between 2 and 4 hours,
were calculated during stormflow conditions, indicating potential
short circuiting of flows through the wetland. Wetland treatment
performance was analyzed on a concentration and mass reduction
basis and on the number samples that exceeded parameter guidelines
at the outlet of the wetland. Guideline exceedances were reported
for the majority of samples taken and increases in concentration
between inlet and outlet resulted in a larger number of samples
exceeding guidelines at the outlet. Despite dilution from
groundwater discharge, minimal to no concentration reduction was
reported between the inlet and outlet of the wetland. Mass
reduction did not occur between the inlet and…

▼ The purpose of this report is to increase knowledge of stormwater purification by the environmental office who is working with the demands on the treatment of stormwater. The purpose was also to provide an overview of common facilities and what is important to think about and what requirements to demand when someone should handle stormwater. The method used was mainly interviews and participating in seminars and webinars. The most common purification techniques used today are stormwater ponds and oil separators. Many municipalities want new stormwater facilities to be so-called open above-ground facilities. These facilities can be wet or dry. However wet technology has a wellbeing effect besides the purification effect. It is important that the authorities think about when it is necessary for someone to treat the stormwater and what the most important pollution is to clean. It might also be a good thing to have different guidelines depending on the recipient rather than have same guidelines all over. The main requirement that the authority should demand, no matter which treatment system to use, is that it should be a management plan.

▼ Municipalities tend to develop their
stormwater management policy by examining those of their neighboring communities, chosen out of convenience and perception of similarity rather than a purposeful, directed search. Alternatively, having a policy that is backed by science creates regulations that policy makers can confidently support. To address this issue, the model used in this study incorporates local rainfall and development data to analyze
stormwater runoff volumes for various storm events using one year of development data from Chattanooga, Tennessee. The runoff values are used to analyze several policy combinations based on simplified policies, model policies, and customizable policies. Outputs of the tool include project count, impervious area managed, runoff managed, and runoff cleaned. This study indicates that
stormwater managers can use the outputs of this tool to choose the policy that best meets their citys unique goals.

▼ This thesis investigates the hydraulic and runoff treatment capabilities of Underground Stormwater Detention Chambers (USDC) and compares them to stormwater management ponds, the industry standard system for runoff detention and treatment. Runoff characteristics were monitored at a USDC in Markham, Ontario. Characteristics include: total suspended solids, turbidity, nutrients, metals, bacteria, temperature, and hydrocarbons. The Model for Underground Detention of Sediment (MUDS) was created to predict the removal of suspended solids by a USDC. The results indicate that the Markham USDC meets all provincial hydraulic requirements and most water quality requirements. Also, the Markham USDC provides equivalent or improved level of service compared to stormwater management ponds for runoff treatment in most cases. MUDS was proven capable of accurately predicting USDC hydraulics and suspended solids removal for both event based and continuous based simulations.

▼ Urban
stormwater runoff threatens flood control and water quality and is an expensive problem for municipalities and the environment. State and federal regulations require reductions in current pollutant loads to impaired waters. In 2005, Alachua County, Florida, addressed these challenges with a Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) that incentivizes open space credit with ecologically enhanced
stormwater basins. Allowing nature to assist with
stormwater runoff quantity and quality is an economical alternative that also has the potential to provide recreational space, natural aesthetics and increased biodiversity within the urban environment. A multifunctional
stormwater basin is designed to provide all of these benefits. Of the open space basins constructed by 2012, a county inspection showed compliance by only one third of the projects. This thesis research investigated what was causing the incompliance. A survey and analysis was developed to assess forty-one
stormwater basins in Alachua County, Florida, for compliance with open space
stormwater management area criteria. One basin was in complete compliance. Characteristics of the basins were also analyzed and stakeholders and
stormwater professionals were interviewed to determine what may be influencing a high rate of incompliance in basins that had received credit for open space design. The field survey and interviews were used to identify barriers from three areas: community and social context, design components, and communication and education.While some design elements of the policy have been effective, education of managers, public expectations and weak enforcement inhibit greater success. Public resistance to the perceived disorder of natural landscapes close to home can be a barrier to achieving more natural design in urban communities. It is feasible to design and receive credit for a multifunctional
stormwater basin; it is less feasible to construct, maintain and actually achieve the multifunctional benefits. ( en )

▼ Urbanization is a pervasive threat to stream ecosystems. I examined the effects of urbanization on watershed hydrology and explored ways in which to reduce those negative impacts. The Etowah River basin (Georgia, USA) showed evidence of hydrologic alteration due to urbanization even at low levels (3-15%) of urban land use. Peak flows have increased and pollutant concentrations have increased significantly over time. Because the increase in
stormwater runoff is causing measurable effects in Georgia streams, I tested the viability of using porous pavements for
stormwater management on the fine-grained soils of the Piedmont. Monitoring of a full-scale grassy porous pavement parking lot demonstrated a 93% reduction in the volume of runoff and a significant decrease in turbidity of runoff for the porous lot vs. a nearby asphalt lot. A field experiment further supported these findings; concrete porous pavers were also effective in reducing the volume of runoff as well as nutrient and total suspended solids loads when compared to concrete controls. Porous pavements are an effective
stormwater management practice for small storm events (< 2.64 cm). However, the use of porous pavements and other innovative
stormwater management techniques are often prohibited or discouraged by local government regulations. Evaluation of zoning and subdivision regulations across the Etowah River Basin identified areas that require revision in order to implement low impact development techniques. Working with an interdisciplinary group of researchers, I developed management tools, site design guidelines and a model
stormwater management ordinance, that encouraged the use of source controls for
stormwater. This was a drastic departure from the traditional collection and conveyance approach common in the Etowah River basin. The management tools are intended to reduce the degradation caused by impervious surfaces by preserving or mimicking natural watershed hydrology.

▼ Storm water ponds have been widely constructed over
the past four decades as part of municipal storm water drainage
systems. These ponds are designed to collect neighborhood storm
water run-off to reduce flooding, but can also improve the quality
of water discharged to surface water bodies by allowing sediments
to drop out of the water column. This sediment gradually
accumulates at the bottom of the storm water pond, necessitating
occasional dredging. Polyacrylamides (PAM) offer an option to
decrease the water content, and therefore weight and volume, of
this pond sediment before dredging. This study aimed to improve
understanding of the performance of PAM-based sediment dewatering
in different conditions, with a focus on the low northern
temperatures of Canada. First, the characteristics of storm water
pond sediments were reported. Then, dose and temperature effects of
PAM were tested. The results indicated that the best dose of PAM
(Clearflow Enviro Systems Inc. Soil Lynx 398) to be applied was
0.3g/L when treating pond sediment. The water content of sediment
cake increased with increasing PAM concentration when PAM
concentration was at 0.3-5 g/L. Meanwhile, in terms of temperature
effects for a range of 4-30°C, the water content did not show any
significant change (p > 0.05). Other parameters such as
turbidity, initial settling rate, sediment volume were also
measured in this study. The potential mechanisms involved were
discussed as well.

▼ Detention Basins (EDBs), an established
stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP), are used to treat polluted
stormwater runoff from urban areas and highways. Treatment occurs primarily through the settling of particles in the EDB. Typically, the design volume is based on a 2-year storm event and is large enough to capture about 85 percent of the annual runoff. Effluent is discharged through an outlet orifice typically sized to drain the entire basin in 24 to 48 hours. Because a high percentage of storm events are smaller than the typical design storm, the 2-year storm, the storm events pass through the EDB quickly because of the relatively large outlet orifice and receive little treatment. This project expands on previous investigations of strategies to increase hydraulic detention time and improve treatment in these devices. The strategy of interest is dividing an EDB with a partition wall, thus creating primary and secondary cells in series. The primary cell, equipped with a correspondingly small outlet orifice, captures and holds the frequent, smaller storm events. Large storm events overflow into the secondary cell and are treated there. The anticipated outcome is a longer average detention time and better total suspended solids (TSS) removal.
An ExcelTM Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) computer model was created to simulate EDBs with and without a partition wall. The software can model irregularly-shaped basins and internal cells with unequal volumes. Hourly rainfall is converted to runoff using the Rational Method and routed through hypothetical EDBs. Detention times for each storm event are calculated from the time difference between the centroids of the influent and effluent hydrographs. In this project, 50 years of historic hourly rainfall data from Orange County, California were passed through a one-cell (unpartitioned) EDB and three partitioned EDBs with primary cells sized for 75, 50, and 25 percent of the design volume.
Model results showed that event mean hydraulic detention times were increased in the partitioned EDBs by 64 to 94 percent compared to the one-cell control EDB. The longest detention time was achieved in the EDB with the smallest primary cell. Partitioning also increased the volume-weighted mean hydraulic detention times by 36 to 60 percent, but the longest detention time in this case was achieved in the EDB with the largest primary cell. Compared to the one-cell EDB, the total volume of water that overflowed the EDB (i.e. exceeded the design volume) over the 50-year hydrologic record decreased slightly for the basin with a 75-percent design volume primary cell, but increased for the other two cases with smaller primary cells. Direct modeling of TSS was not attempted in this project. When the calculated detention times are applied to TSS removal curves from the literature, though, event mean TSS removal was estimated to increase by up to 6 percentage points due to adding an internal partition.

▼ Stormwater runoff from development degrades receiving water bodies and alters their capacity to support life. Environmental planners are tasked with managing impacts from human land uses on ecosystem functions in order to meet water quality goals. However, conventional
stormwater management practices aggravate development impacts, raising the need for a paradigm shift in
stormwater management. Low Impact Development (LID) approaches to
stormwater management can minimize impacts from runoff, and protect water quality and stream ecosystems by mimicking pre-development hydrology. Barriers to adoption, needs, and opportunities for LID on the North Coast of California were assessed through a comparative analysis of the North Coast and four other regions in the United States currently implementing LID. The analysis was based on literature review and on interviews with
stormwater professionals in the five regions. The most significant barriers to LID found on the North Coast were institutionalized conventional practices, budget and staff constraints, and challenging local site conditions. The most significant regional needs identified to promote a shift toward LID were economic incentives, education and research, and regulatory and policy reform. Growing ???regulatory-will??? from the state and local level, and significant existing human capital may provide opportunities to help spur LID uptake locally. Recommendations based on my study are that LID policy language be included in General Plans, codes, and ordinances. Standards and requirements for LID should be developed to be consistent on a regional scale. Additionally, local governments should take greater advantage of partnerships with local watershed groups, and universities to create LID educational opportunities.

▼ The City of Arcata, California has identified bacteria, nutrients and suspended solids as pollutants of concern in the city???s waterways. Suburban areas are known sources of fecal contamination, nutrients and suspended solids. Suburban areas increase the amount of impervious surfaces in watersheds causing peak flow and volume of storm water runoff to significantly increase. As runoff and overland flow increase so does the ability of water to entrain and carry a higher pollutant load. Wetlands have been increasingly used and found effective in reducing many of the water quality concerns associated with suburban runoff. Arcata has four wetlands located on three streams receiving suburban storm water through storm water infrastructure. Two of the wetlands are depressional and two are free water surface. Each stream was sampled during the 2010-?????2011 hydrologic year upstream and downstream of the wetlands during both storm and base flow events to determine reduction of total suspended solids (TSS), organic suspended solids (OSS), inorganic suspended solids (ISS), fecal coliforms, turbidity, and phosphorous. Of the metrics tested only suspended solids showed significant reductions. The highest mean TSS, ISS, OSS and fecal coliform concentrations came from Campbell Creek, which had the highest percent impervious surfaces (23%) comprised primarily of suburban housing. Suspended solids were about 22% organic by weight during storm and base flows making organic matter a significant portion of the suspended load.

▼ The
stormwater retention pond is a best management practice used for the improvement of runoff water quality before it discharges into larger surface waterbodies. A vortex-type retention pond, called the Nautilus PondTM, is a new design approach for
stormwater retention ponds that is expected to produce an internal flow pattern in the pond that is more conducive to removal of sediments from runoff. Since many existing
stormwater retention ponds were originally designed only for flood control, most of the ponds are
subject to large dead zones, severe short-circuiting and short retention times, which can limit sediment retention in the ponds. In this study, the robustness of the design of the Nautilus PondTM was evaluated by assessing its residence time distribution (RTD) characteristics, flow pattern and sediment deposition patterns under various conditions of flow in the pond.
The study was carried out in two physical scale models of a simplified Nautilus PondTM: one with a scale ratio of 1:30.775 for an aspect ratio of 100:2, and the other with a scale ratio of 1:13.289 for a pond of 50:2 aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is the ratio of the pond diameter at its water surface (top width) to the depth of flow, 2 m at corresponding design flow rates, in the pond. First, the RTD characteristics and flow patterns in the ponds were investigated using tracer mass recovery and flow visualization tests allowing different times for steady flow development (flow development time) for the design flows corresponding to 4 m3/s in the 100:2 prototype pond and 1 m3/s in the 50:2 pond. Then, tracer tests were carried out at different flow rates to investigate its effects on the RTD characteristics in both model ponds. The deposition patterns of approximately 50 micron sediment particles (prototype size) were also observed. The best position of a berm around the pond outlet was determined for the 100:2 pond by comparing the RTD characteristics and the sediment deposition patterns in the pond for three different positions of the berm. The residence time distribution characteristics and the sediment deposition pattern were also assessed for the 50:2 pond with a berm placed in a position equivalent to the best position identified in the 100:2 pond tests.
It was found that the RTD curves at design flow rates of 4 m3/s and 1 m3/s for different flow development times were very similar to each other for both pond aspect ratios; the flow development time was found to have little effect on the flow characteristics of the ponds. The average baffle factors, short-circuiting indices and Morril dispersion indices were 0.41, 0.20 and 4.1, respectively, for the 100:2 pond aspect ratio, whereas these were 0.23, 0.05 and 8.6 for the 50:2 pond.
The flow rate was found to have a significant effect on the RTD characteristics of both ponds. There were multiple peaks in the RTD curves for the lower flow rates tested for the 100:2 pond. This was thought to be a result of the low inflow momentum and high aspect ratio of the pond. As the flow rate was…

▼ This research project contributed to the in-depth understanding of the influence of hydrologic and hydraulic factors on the stormwater treatment performance of constructed wetlands and bioretention basins in the "real world". The project was based on the comprehensive monitoring of a Water Sensitive Urban Design treatment train in the field and underpinned by complex multivariate statistical analysis. The project outcomes revealed that the reduction in pollutant concentrations were consistent in the constructed wetland, but was highly variable in the bioretention basin to a range of influential factors. However, due to the significant amount retention within the filter media, all pollutant loadings were reduced in the bioretention basin.

▼ Ashby Pond in the City of Fairfax, Virginia was retrofitted to treat runoff from 54.7 hectares of urban land of mixed use. The pond discharges into Accotink Creek, a highly urbanized tributary of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay that is listed on the State of Virginia 303(d) list for multiple impairments. The entire multi-state Chesapeake Bay Watershed is
subject to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) restrictions on sediment, phosphorus and nitrogen. Virginia and local municipalities assign pollutant reduction credits to retention ponds that meet certain design requirements. However, to actually meet existing and future water quality goals set by TMDLs, it must be proven that such ponds truly provide the water quality benefits for which they have been credited. The inflow and outflow water quality of Ashby Pond was examined over 7 months from fall 2012 to spring 2013. During that period, the pond provided statistically significant reductions of phosphorus, nitrogen and suspended sediment, but not organic carbon or oxygen demand. Ashby Pond had non-significant export of sodium, chloride and calcium. The pond underperformed when compared to state reduction credits for phosphorus load and concentration, but met and exceeded the credits for nitrogen load and concentration, respectively. The pond was under-sized compared to state design standards, and some underperformance should be expected.

▼ Residential infill development and the associated increases in impervious cover and
stormwater runoff have the potential to overwhelm aging infrastructure causing erosion, flooding, and ecological degradation of waterways. The lack of greenfield sites available for new development around urban centers coupled with a desire for maintaining a traditional neighborhood aesthetic drives residential infill and replacement of existing smaller homes by significantly larger structures, minimizing open space available for
stormwater mitigation. An analysis of residential infill development trends in Fairfax County was performed to characterize the effects of intensified development. Development patterns were identified and assessed using digitized impervious cover data extracted from aerial imagery of the study area for six selected years from 2002 to 2015. The average annual increase in percent impervious area was computed to be 0.3%. Redevelopment was found to be mainly occurring in areas zoned as lower-density residential. The spatial distribution of redevelopment showed trends of clustered increases as opposed to isolated events. The hydrologic analysis performed revealed that from 2002 to 2015, there was an 8,930 m3 (7.2 acre-ft) increase in
stormwater runoff volume, 38% of which is contributed to by runoff generated from development that is considered exempted from regulation in Fairfax County. Additionally, there was a 28 kg/year (62 lb/year) increase in total phosphorus loads attributable to the change in impervious cover due to residential development throughout the study area. The results of this study provide a quantitative basis for municipalities to amend policies regulating residential development and its associated
stormwater management.

▼ Sports venues require large amounts of parking to
facilitate the number of spectators attending an event. The
parking, mostly surface, is underutilized when compared to
traditional parking lots accommodating daily use. Large parking
surfaces alter the natural hydrological cycle by generating large
volumes of runoff. Over time, pollutants build up on a parking
surface and are discharged into a
stormwater drainage system during
a rain event. The intent of the research is to investigate the use
of Best Management Practices that ultimately reduce the pollutant
loads created by
stormwater runoff while creating amenities for
spectators that could potentially generate revenue.
The focus of
the study will be on a 400 acre sports venue in Kansas City,
Missouri, the Truman Sports Complex. To understand retrofitting
stormwater management practices, one must understand how large
parking lots are constructed and understand successful examples.
Through the use of archival research, interviews and analysis of
two parking lot case studies, Northgate Mall in Seattle, Washington
and US Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois, the research analyzed
how retrofitting design solutions are utilized to reduce
stormwater
pollutant loads.
Each case study documents a distinct type of
retrofitting strategy; bioswales at Northgate Mall and permeable
concrete pavers at US Cellular Field. Using the Design Point Method
developed by the Center for Watershed Protection, the research
analyzes each case study retrofit design solution - conceptually
and post construction. The Design Point Method allowed the research
to measure the success of retrofitting strategies and informed the
research to as to how the strategies could be implemented at the
Truman Sports Complex.
The conclusion of the project is a retrofit
design solution of a surface parking lot at the Truman Sports
Complex. Using the Design Point Method as an analysis tool, the
final study provides compelling evidence that retrofitting existing
surface parking lots at sports venues using Best Management
Practices provides a sustainable solution to reducing pollutant
loads while creating the potential for enhancing the tailgate
experience for the sports fan.

▼ <h2>Abstract</h2> Bio energy in form of woodchips and sawdust is today commonly stored outdoors in heaps on hardened surfaces, exposed to weather and wind. Any water leaching from these heaps have the potential to be toxic to the environment. This paper examines the quality of the water leaching from heaps of four different tree species (oak, pine, maple and beech), by analysing different parameters such as pH, conductivity, colour, COD, BOD7, tannins & lignins (T&L) and phenols. The results show significant higher leaching values of COD, phenols, T&L and colour from oak compared to the other tree species (pine, maple and beech). These leached substances from woodchips and sawdust were shown in the BOD7 tests and BOD7/COD ratio values to be hard to biodegrade and are therefore not easily removed from the water. Hence it is important that wood-based fuel storage conditions are considered in bio energy generation schemes to ensure that the environmental benefits of using woodchips and sawdust instead of traditional fuel are not offset by the potential harm of inappropriate storage. The investigation further showed that leaching of highly toxic substances such as phenols can be up to 10 times higher for one tree type (oak) than another (pine, beech and maple). This difference could potentially be found for other tree species not characterized in this study. Therefore, it is important to consider the constitution of the heaps to be able to apply appropriate storage conditions to avoid these toxic substances in the leached water reaching sensitive watercourses. As some of these substances are hard to biodegrade the treatment applied need a long retention time. Another problem is the carbon: nutrient ratio, this water has a high carbon content compared to phosphorus and nitrogen content which might prevent an efficient biodegradation. Adjusting C:N:P ratio with low cost amendments might raise the performance of the biodegradation in for instance, a constructed wetland.

▼ One of the many issues communities will face when trying to protect their local watershed is the lack of background their policy makers have in environmental protection and watershed health. The purpose of this study is to test a range of on-site
stormwater management policies against a selection of new development projects from a specific small city of the United States in order to determine what combination of policies works best in a particular urban environment. Three policies were selected to test the range of
stormwater approaches being used in the United States. These policies were then measured in a spreadsheet analysis against three years worth of new development from the city of Starkville, Mississippi. The outcomes of this research can provide communities and municipalities with a tool to help them determine which combination of application trigger and detention requirement for on-site
stormwater management will best serve their watershed needs.

▼ Across the country, the impacts of
stormwater runoff are being managed through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System intended to ensure the licensee makes advances toward more environmentally-sensitive management strategies. Departments of Transportation fall within this regulatory framework, being tasked with reducing the volume of runoff as well as pollutant concentrations leaving their catchments.
Stormwater runoff along highways contains pollutants which may be detrimental to local surface waters. However, the highway environment also has substantial amounts of green space. There are questions as to how much runoff reduction and pollution abatement are provided by these spaces, as their function will have a dramatic impact on
stormwater management strategies. A highway median swale, located on Asheville Highway, Knoxville, Tennessee, was monitored over an 11-month period. The total catchment was 1.58 acres, with 0.64 acres of roadway draining to 0.94 acres of vegetated median. Runoff volume, rainfall, and water quality data were monitored. The results of this study indicated that 87.2% of runoff volume was reduced by the swale. Conversely, water quality results were variable. While 91.0% of total suspended solids were reduced, the results for nutrients and chloride were variable. Chloride and phosphate were exported while ammonium and nitrite-nitrate were reduced. The swale was also found to export heavy metals: copper, lead, and zinc. The reason for this variable performance may be related to the low pollutant concentrations entering the swale, or the fact that the inlet flume only captured a portion of the runoff entering the system. This may have resulted in a poor representation of the inflows to the system. The Source Loading and Management Model for Windows (WinSLAMM) was used to model the swale’s runoff reduction performance. To calibrate the model, adjustments were made to measured onsite infiltration rates. Adjusting the infiltration rates had considerable effects on the model’s output, and the calibrated model was only 28.4% different from the measured runoff volume. WinSLAMM proved to be a beneficial resource to assess green space performance; however, future studies are needed to determine which model inputs affect performance the most, which can be estimated, and which require on-site measurements.

▼ Soluble phosphate and nitrate are more bioavailable than particulate forms. These nutrients result in eutrophication in both freshwater (typically phosphate-limited) and marine (typically nitrate-limited) systems. In addition, nitrate poses a public health risk at elevated concentrations in drinking water. This research shows that sand filters mixed with 5% iron filings captured, on average, 88% of the influent phosphate in laboratory experiments. Neither incorporation of iron filings into a sand filter nor capture of phosphate had a significant effect on the hydraulic conductivity. Pond-perimeter applications of iron enhanced sand filtration (IESF) with up to 10.7% iron by weight achieved between 29% and 91% phosphate reduction for five events within the first year of operation. After five years, however, a different pond perimeter IESF retained on average 26% of the influent phosphate over three rainy seasons. Retention was best for larger filtered volume events, but negative removal was observed for events with smaller filtered volume and low influent phosphate concentration. Non-routine maintenance improved the hydraulic performance of the pond perimeter IESF and, after a rinsing event, also improved phosphate retention rates to an average of 45%. An IESF was installed to treat agricultural tile drainage and found to reduce total phosphorus loads by 42% to 95% with a flow-weighted mean reduction of 66.3% ± 6.7% (a = 0.05) for 20 events in 2016. The phosphate load reduction varied from 9% to 87% with a flow-weighted mean reduction of 63.9% ± 7.7% (a = 0.05) for 31 events in 2015 and 2016. This research also shows that nitrate is captured abiotically by granular activated carbon (GAC) in laboratory experiments designed to mimic urban and agricultural stormwater runoff. The short contact time and inorganic characteristics of the influent synthetic stormwater suggest that the nitrate was captured by ion exchange, but (bi)carbonate may have competed with nitrate for capture by GAC. Abiotic capture of nitrate requires less stormwater storage volume and less residence time to remove nitrate compared to denitrification, and thus GAC could be used to design smaller treatment practices for nitrate removal.

▼ Difficulties associated with monitoring urban
stormwater quality present considerable challenges to
stormwater managers in the arid southwest. Complexities arise from the infrequent occurrence of storm events, their highly localized extent, and the short duration of storm hydrographs. The presence of sediment in high amount can make both sample collection challenging and the interpretation of the resulting data difficult. This study explored an alternative strategy in which sediments and plant matter from within the channels in an urban watershed in the Northeast Heights of Albuquerque, New Mexico, were collected for analysis of metals from possible sources within the watershed. The upper reaches of the watershed are undeveloped and thus has no anthropogenic contaminant sources and sediment was used for comparison with down gradient impacted streams. This study focused on four metals Cu, Cr, Sb, and Zn with average sediment contamination from the top of the watershed to the bottom ranging from 2.48 to 15.6, 1.56 to 6.08, 3.12 to 5.20, and 17.9 to 83.2 mg kg-1, respectively. The concentration of v these constituents in plant tissue varied by plant roots, leaves, and stems. The increase in metal accumulation in both storm water sediments and plants followed the same trend as the sediments suggesting that plants may serve as indicators of the threats to receiving water in the environment as a result of urbanization of the watershed.

▼ The primary goal of roadway drainage systems is to quickly remove water from the roadway area to keep driving lanes safe; therefore, these systems are designed to quickly convey water that enters as runoff. However, this runoff carries pollutants (largely originating from vehicles) that travel through the drainage system and are often released to natural water bodies, thereby posing a risk to the local environment and public health over the life of the infrastructure’s operation. At the same time, the system’s construction and maintenance requires material inputs, equipment operation, and transportation that incur costs and contribute to global environmental impacts (e.g., climate change). In order to elucidate trade-offs across scales (spatial and temporal) and dimensions of sustainability (functional, environmental, economic), this research developed a comprehensive model of roadway drainage systems linking design decisions to sustainability metrics using fate and transport modeling, life cycle assessment (LCA), and life cycle costing (LCC) under uncertainty. This quantitative sustainable design framework is leveraged to characterize the implications of individual components and the system as a whole.
Results showed that drainage technologies that use concrete as a construction material (basins, culverts, storm sewers, and pipe underdrains) consistently had significantly larger environmental impacts than drainage components that did not use concrete (grass swales and bioswales). While the concrete consistently dominates environmental impacts, it does not consistently govern the total cost of the drainage system. Neither cost nor masses of materials were proven to be valid cut-off criteria; however, simply accounting for the concrete in the drainage system can account for the vast majority of climate change impacts (at least 95% for all sample projects evaluated).
The local water quality impacts of the operation and use phase (fate and transport of pollutants) did play a role in total life cycle impacts; however, these impacts were only noticeable relative to other life cycle phases for grass swales and bioswales, neither of which require concrete as a construction material. Although bioswales showed larger global environmental impacts as compared with grass swales, these impacts were insignificant compared to the impacts of storm sewers. The role of the operation and use phase in the total life cycle impacts of grass swales and bioswales combined with the observation that these total impacts are insignificant as compared with concrete drainage components such as storm sewers suggests that when comparing these technologies, global environmental impacts may not be relevant for decision-making. Rather, the potential local water quantity and water quality benefits of these technologies are better metrics for evaluating environmental sustainability.
