▼ 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 Advisors/Committee Members: McCorquodale, J. Alex, Outlaw, Curtis, Barbe, Donald.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Arabi, Mazdak (advisor), Roesner, Larry (committee member), Carlson, Ken (committee member), Kampf, Stephanie (committee member).

▼ The main objective of this study was to investigate the existing Hawassa city stormwater drainage problems with respect to its hydraulic performance. The methodological approaches employed in this study include; the identification of the existing stormwater drainage network flow direction, and delineation of contributing areas. Field surveying work was conducted to inspect the existing drainage condition and to measure channel geometric dimensions. In order to develop the Intensity Duration Frequency curve (IDF) the rainfall intensities for different duration were analyzed for a period of 1985-2016. Probability distribution functions were analyzed and identified using Microsoft Excel. The analysis from the frequency distribution indicate that General Extreme Value Type I (GEV-I) distribution was fitted well reasonably for the rainfall intensities. Rainfall quantiles for a duration of 24hr with a magnitude of 52.75, 68.67, 79.20, 92.51, 102.4 and 112.2 mm/hr was predicted for a return period of 2,5,10,25, 50 and 100 years respectively. Based on the flow direction of the study area the existing drainage channel capacity were checked by using flow master software. Established on settlement of the city about 66, sub-catchments were delineated in the existing system and by using the intensity estimation (T=10 years) the hydrological peak flow determined by using Bentley CivilStorm software. The rational formula is used to compute the peak flood estimation for (T= 10). The result from model compared with existing hydraulic capacity of the channels and it shows that at Wanza square stormwater drainage were not sufficient to carry the expected runoff during rainfall events. In general, the flood problems identified at Wanza square and Wanza square to Old bus station were mainly due to in adequacy of the drainage channel capacity and further substantiated by the waste disposal from different sources into the drainage channels. To resolve these problems BMP’s have been recommended. Finally, the analysis from this study permits future work on stormwater drainage design should strictly follow the standards of hydrologic and hydraulic design and social and environmental considerations.

▼ Stormwater is known to be a major source of water pollution. In addition to increased flows resulting from increased impervious area in watersheds, stormwater is known to carry pollutants such a suspended solids, hydrocarbons, and nutrients into receiving water bodies. Because of this, stormwater treatment systems, referred to as ‘best management practices’ (BMPs), are utilized to dampen peak flows, reduce total runoff volume, and remove pollutants. While many studies have investigated the effectiveness of various BMPs in the removal of pollutants, fewer studies have investigated the effects of numerous storm variables on the effectiveness of treatment systems. This thesis investigates the effects of storm event variables on the removal efficiencies of different BMPs for different stormwater pollutants, with the goal of drawing broader conclusions on the effects of event variables on system performance.Using data from the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center (UNHSC) and International Stormwater BMP Database, this thesis investigated the effects of variables such as event duration, precipitation depth, runoff volume, peak rain intensity, peak runoff flow, and the antecedent dry period on the percent removal (%RE) of pollutants such as solids, hydrocarbons, Nitrogen, Zinc and Phosphorus in BMPs such as bioretention systems, swales, retention ponds, subsurface gravel wetlands, and sand filters. Apart from investigating these specific relationships, these analyses were conducted to evaluate if event variables can serve as adequate indicators of BMP performance. Using statistical analysis techniques including regression analysis and principal component analysis, this study investigates relationships between storm event variables, influent event mean concentrations (EMCs), and removal rates across different pollutants and BMPs. Most relationships were not determined to be statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. Although few relationships were significant at the 95% confidence level, there were additional relationships found to be significant at lower levels of confidence. A trend of note was a group of positive relationships between several influent EMCs and removal rates. It is worth noting that antecedent dry period had no statistical bearing on the influent concentration and removal efficiency, when it is has been found by previous studies to effect pollutant loadings. This lack of bearing would be expected because of the use of EMCs masking first flush characteristics. These analyses were also used to examine the proportions of relationships effecting removal rates by system. These results indicated swales were these systems whose performance was most effected by changes in event variables, followed by sand filters, bioretention systems and subsurface gravel wetlands, and retention ponds being he east effected. Although analysis yielded a number of statistically significant trends indicating relationships effecting system performance, the results suggest that relationships effecting… Advisors/Committee Members: Thomas P Ballestero, Joseph Poythress, James Houle.

▼ 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…

▼ Urban stormwater management traditionally utilizes pipes, gutters, and other concrete features to collect and manage runoff. Increased imperviousness resulting from urbanization can cause undesirable effects such as higher peak flows during storm events, reduced groundwater recharge, and increased pollutant discharge to receiving waters. Newer stormwater management approaches, however, focus on distributed facilities to retain and infiltrate stormwater throughout urban catchments. Low-Impact Development (LID) aims to mimic natural systems and minimize negative ecosystem impacts while still providing adequate flood protection. For this project, a hydrologic model was developed using EPA???s Stormwater Management Model (SWMM5) for the Davis Manor neighborhood located in Davis, California. The goal of this research is to develop a planning model that quantifies runoff volume reduction and stormwater treatment from various LID retrofit project alternatives. The scenarios modeled in this project include varying densities (high, medium, and low) of street-based rain gardens, which are uniformly distributed throughout the neighborhood. In addition, the effects of capturing various percentages of runoff in infiltration-type Best Management Practices (BMPs) located in the front yards of private residences were analyzed. Combination scenarios using selective placement of street-based rain gardens in conjunction with rooftop disconnects were also modeled. Depending on the density of rain garden deployment, runoff volume reductions for LID installation in streets alone ranged from fifteen percent (15%) to forty-two percent (42%) of baseline values, while reductions for rooftop disconnects ranged from eight percent (8%) to twenty-one percent (21%). The highest values listed for these scenarios may represent practical upper limits to what can be achieved with these strategies. Higher density placement of street-based rain gardens would require significant removal of parking. Capturing all flows associated with rooftop runoff is unrealistic because of limitations associated with adequate spacing from building foundations and streets in front yards. The combination option which included the lowest density of street BMPs in select subcatchments and eighty-seven and a half percent (87.5%) capture of rooftop runoff resulted in a runoff volume reduction of thirty-eight percent (38%). Because historical runoff data for the Davis Manor community are not available, this model could not be calibrated against observed runoff values. While the runoff volume reductions presented in this case study are not verified, they can be used to compare the relative effects of potential project scenarios.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: n/a (external-examiner), Lei Liu (graduate-coordinator), Craig Lake (thesis-reader), Mark Gibson (thesis-reader), Rob Jamieson, David Hansen (thesis-supervisor), Not Applicable (ethics-approval), Not Applicable (manuscripts), Not Applicable (copyright-release).

▼ Background, Question and Methods Cities are often located on migratory flyways, and the urban stopover site may be a critical bottleneck in the lives of migratory species. These stopover sites can be composed of novel anthropogenic land cover types and configurations, with built elements as well as open space types. Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) elements, including constructed wetlands, detention/retention ponds, bioswales, and rain gardens are designed for stormwater function, but may support resident or transitory wildlife. Research into the habitat value of rain gardens is scarce, but previous work on bird diversity in rural and urban contexts has supported the importance of patch area, vegetation structure, and plant diversity and origin. Some have found landscape-scale characteristics can also be predictive. Remotely-sensed data and GIS have become ubiquitous tools to replace labor-intensive methods of measuring habitat characteristics. What are important predictors of bird occurrence in urban GSI sites during spring migration? During spring 2018, standardized area searches were performed for bird species in Ann Arbor, MI, USA, on GSI sites (n=37). Discrete-return LiDAR data was used to measure vegetation structure (including Foliage Height Diversity via the Shannon-Weaver Diversity index for 0.5’ return height bins) and classification of 4-band ortho-imagery to measure land cover within multiple scales around each site. Generalized linear models using Bayesian methods were built to analyze predictors of bird species richness, abundance, and abundance weighted by conservation value. Results and Conclusions 3407 birds were recorded using the GSI sites, comprising 97 total species, including 22 of moderate or high conservation concern according to the Partners in Flight. The best model for landbird species richness included three positive significant explanatory variables (with mean-standardized parameter estimates: Site Area (0.175), % Shrub Cover (0.09), and Foliage Height Diversity (0.335), while the effect of Plant Species Richness was inconclusive. These results support that classic theories regarding bird occurrence in response to habitat structure prevail in novel ecosystems within urban settings. The explanatory power of foliage height diversity is a confirmation of vertical vegetation structure as an important determinant in bird diversity, as well as the utility of multiple-return LiDAR as a method to measure FHD. This is an important point in the urban context, where simplification of structure is a common practice, and shows that novel habitat types formed by GSI can support biodiversity close to where people live.

▼ 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… Advisors/Committee Members: Mazurek, Kerry, Putz, Gordon, Kells, Jim, Sumner, David, Boulfiza, Moh.

▼ It is hypothesized that the applied sampling techniques, water quality analysis, and statistical analysis predict pollutant removal efficiencies of the project site. Current practices in urban stormwater runoff are the design of systems that limit the developed peak discharge to less than or equal to the peak discharge of the pre-developed conditions. This is many times accomplished with the installation of stormwater retention, detention, or attenuation facilities that store the generated runoff from the drainage area. These are commonly known as structural Best Management Practices (BMPs). The City of Grand Forks, ND (City) implements BMPs into the stormwater management plans for all new developments. Design of these facilities for water quality is volume based, and considerations for removal efficiency are not currently integrated. The City is interested in determining the pollutant removal efficiency of their current in-situ structural BMPs. This research is used to develop a sampling plan and parameter list for potential future expansion of the project. To determine an accurate sampling plan and parameter list, a baseline study on one operational wet detention pond located within the City was completed to prove the hypothesis. Since this is a baseline study, water quality parameters included the analysis of total suspended solids, nutrients of various forms, heavy metals, bacteria, and other chemical properties used to assess the current quality of stormwater influent and effluent going through the system. The sample collection includes both single grab samples for instantaneous water quality analysis and manual flow-weighted composite samples for analysis of event mean concentration (EMC). The EMC influent and effluent results are compared to determine intra-event removal efficiency and a statistical analysis is performed to determine if the sample sets are statistically significantly different between the influent and effluent concentrations. Acceptance of the hypothesis is proven for the nutrients, total phosphorus and nitrate as nitrogen, and conductivity. The average removal efficiency of the nutrients is 73 percent for total phosphorus and 40 percent for nitrate as nitrogen. Conductivity was determined to increase between the influent and effluent concentrations. Other analytes that exhibited removal efficiency, but were not proven to be statistically significant, were total suspended solids (TSS) at 76 percent removal, phosphate as orthophosphate at 71 percent removal, and bacteria as E. Coli at 83 percent removal. The remaining parameters of ammonia as nitrogen, nitrite as nitrogen, total copper, total lead, total zinc, chloride, pH and dissolved oxygen did not suggest effective removal trends throughout the BMP. Continued analysis of the site is required to better define the statistical difference between the influent and effluent concentrations for these parameters. The removal of the nitrite from the parameter list is suggested based on low to non-detection of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Yeo Howe Lim.

▼ With rapid urbanization and development, the risk for increased urban flooding is a major threat to local waterways. Environmentally, urban settings introduce additional pollutants to water as well as a greatly increased flow regime that can overwhelm storm sewer systems. In cities with combined sewer systems this adds more of a burden on water treatment plants and the large amounts of public spending that are directed at water infrastructure. Flood damage alone can reduce a property’s value by 10-25% (11) and create overall degradation to a site. The implementation of green infrastructure can aid in minimizing storm water flooding and maximize the retention of stormwater. Through this study, a natural media filter was optimized using clay, sand, sawdust, and peat moss- all locally accessible materials to the site being analyzed in this study. Three successive 100-year storm events, 3.08 in/hr, were reproduced in the batch filtration and column filtration study, in order to be environmentally resilient. The batch filtration study tested the drainage and retention performance of varying percentages and layering of the materials being assessed. The optimal mixture was a two-layer mixture at a total depth of 5 cm containing 7% clay, 43% sand, 25% sawdust, and 25% peat moss. The optimal mixture was tested during the column study at a varying depth of 10 cm and at a higher flow rate of 2 mL/ min; in addition to the 5 cm and 0.55 mL/min flow rate that compared to the batch filtration study. The optimal mixture continued to prevent flooding when a higher flow rate was introduced. The column filtration study allowed for a constant flow rate of water into the system and had a smaller allowable surface area in comparison to the batch filtration study that had instantaneous water input at a larger surface area. The site area’s flow rate was linearly extrapolated from the volumetric flow rate of the two studies. The natural media filter design at a depth of 5 cm was sustainably assessed in comparison to the natural media filter at a depth of 10 cm and permeable pavers. Environmentally the permeable pavers had the greatest impact and the natural media filter at a depth of 10 cm had the highest energy implications. Economically, the natural media filter at a depth of 5 cm was the lowest initial capital. The social assessment determined that the public found the implementation of green infrastructure to be beneficial environmentally, economically, and socially. The optimal natural media filter mixture- 7% clay, 43% sand, 25% sawdust, and 25% peat moss at a depth of 5 cm- meets the needs of a sustainable design as well as meeting the performance goals.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.
