Abstract/Contents

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 individual structural BMPs, information on how BMPs perform together in aggregate 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.
This research seeks to determine how BMPs that incorporate enhanced treatment technologies (e.g., biochar and coated sand) can improve water quality on a watershed scale, primarily with respect to fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) and urban-use pesticides. Through a computational modeling study, we find that small improvements to BMP pollutant removal performance may result in large reductions in FIB at the watershed scale.
