Assessing Receiving Water Effects of Urban Stormwater BMPs
The understanding of the effects of urban stormwater best management practices (BMPs) in protecting, preserving, and/or improving the health of receiving waters is poor at best. BMP performance in terms of pollution and flow control is not well understood by itself, although through recent efforts this understanding is improving. The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework to begin discussions regarding potential approaches and methods for assessing the performance of urban stormwater BMPs in improving the health of aquatic ecosystems. The paper presents potential methods and study approaches along with potential individual physical, chemical, biological, and biochemical measurements/indicators that employed in particular combinations may be useful in assessing downstream BMPs performance. The paper also presents a brief overview of some of the challenges that will be difficult to overcome.
