| Abstract | Seven area best management practices were monitored and evaluated in terms of their overall pollutant removal performance. The major factors which influenced their effectiveness were identified, and general design principles which would maximize pollutant removal for each type of BMP were proposed. The types of BMP's evaluated included: 'Dry' Stormwater management Ponds, 'Wet' Ponds, Grassed Roadside Swale, Infiltration Controls, and Porous Pavement. |
