Abstract
This report evaluates the water quality effects of detention storage and source control for six specific constituents related to urban runoff - TSS, C1, P, Cu, Pb, and Zn. The study site was a 45 acre-foot lake, Lake Ellyn, which drains a 534 acre urban watershed. While event mean influent to lake constituent concentrations for P, dissolved P, Cu, Pb, and C1 violated Illinois General Use Water Quality Standards, effluent event mean concentrations from the lake only violated the standard for P. Substantial reductions in suspended stormwater pollutants were noted for all monitored events as a result of detention in Lake Ellyn.
