Description:
This report is the third in a series on urban stormwater and combined sewer overflow management. It presents 12 case histories representing most promising approaches to stormwater control. The case histories were developed by evaluating completed and operational facilities or ongoing demonstration projects that have significant information value for future guidance. Essential elements of the case history evaluations cover approach methodology, design considerations, costs, effectiveness, and environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Eight of the case histories assess Best Management Practices (BMPs) and expand the data base on source control methodology, focusing principally on planning and storage alternatives. Special considerations are given to flood and erosion control measures also having a dual benefit of stormwater control.
