Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lacks robust data documenting the performance of best Management practices (BMPs) regarding stormwater management, and a clear understanding of the performance changes associated with conditions. By generating these data, The National Risk Management Research Laboratory’s Water Supply and Water Resources Division (WSWRD) of EPA’s Office of Research and Development can facilitate the adoption and implementation of effective BMPs for stormwater management. States, local utilities, government, and other decision-making bodies are looking to EPA for these data in order to establish preferred stormwater management practices.
