A Guide for Best Management Practice (BMP) Selection in Urban Developed Areas
Author: Task Committee for Evaluating Best Management Practices
Publisher: ASCE Publications
ISBN: 9780784474976
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
This guide examines permanent structural techniques, or Best Management Practices (BMPs), which can be used for retrofitting the stormwater management systems in existing developed areas. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are explained to help engineering professionals select the BMP (or series of BMPs) best suited for removing pollutants from stormwater runoff at a particular location. The design factors considered include land availability, type of pollutant to be removed, groundwater levels, soil types, BMP costs, maintenance costs, and desired pollutant removal efficiency. The BMPs evaluated are ponds, alum treatment systems, constructed wetlands, sand filters, baffle boxes, inlet devices, vegetated swales, buffer strips, and infiltration/exfiltration trenches. A BMP Selection Guide, in an easy-to-use matrix format, aids in the decision-making process for BMP selections. Five design factors and five pollutant types (total suspended solids, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, heavy metals, and floating trash) are evaluated for each BMP in the matrix. BMPs presented in this guide were chosen based upon common availability, ease of maintenance, and an established track record.

Stormwater Management for Transportation Facilities
Author: Shaw L. Yu
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309049238
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to highway design engineers, maintenance engineers, environmental personnel, administrators, and others responsible for the design, operation, and maintenance of stormwater management for highways and ancillary facilities. Information is presented on the basic hydrology needed to assess stormwater impacts and on the effectiveness of stormwater management techniques. Designers of highway facilities must consider stormwater management requirements within the context of both localized runoff impacts, as well as downstream effects of runoff. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the management of both stormwater quantity and stormwater quality. Stormwater quantity includes an overview of methods of estimating runoff and management control practices. Stormwater quality management includes discussions of the most prevalent pollutants and best management practices (BMP) to minimize pollutants from transportation facilities. Various types of structural and non-structural methods are described, including their design considerations and efficiencies. Several stormwater management models are described, with special concern for highway applications. Highlights from the 1990 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits are presented.

A Predictive Model for the Optimal Selection of Non Point Source Urban Stormwater Best Management Practices
Author: Bryan K. Alston
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Best management practices (Pollution prevention)
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Pollutants from storm water runoff in urban and developing areas degrade water quality. The implementation of storm water Best Management Practices (BMPs) is one way to reduce non-point source pollution. Although there are many varieties of BMPs available, the selection of a cost effective BMP that meets water quality, flood control, site limitation, and other constraints is not an easy problem because it involves minimizing economic costs while simultaneously meeting watershed management objectives. A watershed model that combines BMP efficiency, downstream water quality response, while minimizing associated economic costs is a good logical approach to this problem. In this study, a rigorous mathematical optimization model was developed to produce a least cost or optimal mix of BMP types in a watershed. The modeling approach is based on a mixed integer linear programming formulation that is solved by an optimization software package. The principal focus of this research is to develop a useful planning and decision making tool which minimizes BMP costs subject to meeting water quality, flood control, site limitation, and other physical constraints.
