Abstract

To reduce stormwater pollution and meet water quality standards, local agencies
often implement structural stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as green roofs, vegetated swales, and bioretention cells. Despite the anticipated benefits of structural BMPs, information on how BMPs perform together and can be optimized on a watershed scale is limited. Previous work shows that even when the majority of a watershed is routed through BMPs, water quality standards may still be unattainable.
We hypothesize that enhancing BMP performance by incorporating emerging technologies such as open cell treatment wetlands or bioretention cells with novel geomedia may enable communities to reduce total pollutant loading, comply with Clean Water Act obligations, and reduce urban water toxicity. This research seeks to determine how BMPs that incorporate innovative treatment technologies can improve water quality on a watershed scale, primarily with respect to fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) and pesticides.
