Measuring Total Volatile Suspended Solids in Stormwater to Understand the Influence of Organic Matter on BMP Performance

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns

Abstract

Total Volatile Suspended Solids (TVSS) is a method used to estimate the total mass of organic matter in a water sample by a method of dry ashing TSS samples. Data collected from sites in Washington, Oregon, New Jersey, and California are presented. The data indicate that there are some relationships between TVSS and TSS, TVSS and Dissolved Zinc. In general, the data suggested that as TSS or SSC concentrations increase the relative fraction of TVSS decreases. The data also indicate that as TVSS concentrations increase the relative fraction of soluble zinc decreases. It is hypothesized that the organics sequester soluble metals through chemical processes. Suggestions are provided for methods to reduce soluble nutrient discharge from BMP's by managing organic matter as part of the BMP design.
