Download or read book Vegetated Biofilter for Post Construction Storm Water Management for Linear Transportation Projects written by Gayle F. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vegetated biofilter is a low impact development technique that can be integrated into stormwater management of linear transportation systems and capitalize on the natural environment to mitigate stormwater. A 4 ft (1.2 m) wide by 14 ft (4.3 m) long prototype vegetated biofilter was constructed on a moveable frame. Artificial runoff was delivered to each of three grass beds for comprehensive tests at slopes and flow rates as follows: 8:1, medium; 4:1, medium; 2:1, medium; and 2:1, high. The medium and high flows represented storm runoff events typical in Ohio. First, baseline tests were performed to obtain concentrations of constituents native to the biofilter. Artificial runoff, formulated with metals, native soil, and motor oil, was applied to one bed at a "high" concentration for the first part of the event, followed by a "medium" concentration; a second bed received "medium" followed by "low" concentration runoff, and the third bed received "low" concentration followed by tap water. During the simulated storm events, samples were obtained from the inlet, surface runoff, and underdrain and analyzed for total and dissolved metals, TSS, and oil and grease. Prior to and at the end of testing, cores were extracted from the bed, separated into soil, roots and grass, and each component analyzed for metal content per mass of material. The two beds receiving the initial high and medium concentration flow performed well and removal of 7 total metals and TSS was above 75%. Removal of oil ranged from 30% to over 90%. The bed receiving low concentration runoff, which was near the baseline levels for constituents, had mixed performance of removals ranging from none to above 90%, illustrating the difficulty of any BMP to treat a relatively clean influent. Metals above background levels were found primarily in the first half (7 ft, 2.1 m) of each bed. Soil particles in the influent flow of the first test in each bed, tagged with La, were not resuspended in subsequent tests and were not measured at any significant concentration in the outlet surface flow.

Book excerpt: Managing the urban water cycle needs to be underpinned by key sustainability principles of water consumption, water recycling, waste minimisation and environmental protection. The integration of urban water cycle management with urban planning and design is known as Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). WSUD Engineering Procedures: Stormwater is designed to give practical engineering solutions to all those who need to implement WSUD guidelines.
Download or read book Storm Water Management for Construction Activities written by US EPA and published by CRC-Press. This book was released on 1993-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide shows you how to develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan specifically designed for your construction site. It should answer any questions you have regarding the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities that are classified as "Associated with Industrial Activity" (referred to as EPA's Baseline Construction General Permit). Step-by-step guidelines and checklists walk you through the process of setting up your plan, which makes the book invaluable for consultants, regulators, and construction managers and engineers.
Download or read book Stormwater Infiltration written by Bruce K. Ferguson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stormwater infiltration is the most complete approach to stormwater management. Only infiltration can simultaneously solve problems of water quality, flood control, streambank erosion, aquifer recharge, and maintenance of downstream base flows and wetland hydroperiods. Stormwater Infiltration is the first book to explain the principles of natural science on which infiltration is based, how to apply infiltration to any region of the country, and what kinds of results can be expected. It brings into one publication the complete range of necessary information on soils, vegetation, infiltration, hydrology, design criteria, site layout, construction process for surface and subsurface basins, porous paving materials, feasibility, maintenance, and performance. It draws more than half a century's actual experiences from all over the United States to place stormwater management in a context of environmental balance and quality for human life."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book DayWater written by Daniel R. Thevenot and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European DayWater project has developed a prototype of an Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) related to urban stormwater pollution source control. The DayWater ADSS greatly facilitates decision-making for stormwater source control, which is currently impeded by the large number of stakeholders involved and by the necessary multidisciplinary knowledge. This book presents the results of this project, providing new insights into both technical and management issues. The main objectives of its technical chapters are pollution source control modelling, risk and impact assessment, and evaluation and comparison of best management practices. It also covers management aspects, such as the analysis of the decision-making processes in stormwater source control, at a European scale, and stormwater management strategies in general. The combination of scientific-technical and socio-managerial knowledge, with the strong cooperation of numerous end-users, reflects the innovative character of this book which includes actual applications of the ADSS prototype in significant case studies. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management contains 26 chapters collectively prepared by DayWater scientific partners and end-users associated with this European Research and Development project. It includes: A general presentation of the DayWater Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) structure and operation modes A detailed description of the major components of this ADSS prototype The assessment of its components in significant case studies in France, Germany and Sweden The proceedings of the International Conference on Decision Support Systems for Integrated Urban Water Management, held in Paris on 3-4 November 2005. The book presents the ADSS prototype including a combination of freely accessible on-line databases, guidance documents, “road maps” and modelling or multi-criteria analysis tools. As demonstrated in several significant case studies the challenge for stormwater managers is to make the benefits of urban stormwater management visible to society, resulting in active co-operation of a diversity of stakeholders. Only then, will sustainable management succeed. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management advances this cause of sustainable urban management through Urban stormwater management, and makes achievable (by means of risk and vulnerability tools which are included) the goal of integrated urban water management (IUWM).

This book was released on 2000-02-17 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.
