Improved Standard Sumps as Best Management Practice for Stormwater Treatment

摘要

There are many standard sumps that may also qualify as a best management practice to pre-treat stormwater runoff before it enters an LID practice by removing suspended sediment from the water column. However, no data on the effectiveness of sediment removal and maintenance schedule of the sumps exist. Such data could justify providing pollution prevention credit for the use of standard sumps for transportation departments, municipalities, counties and other local governments.
