Abstract
This paper will highlight key findings of a Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) research study of the factors that contribute to the success of a BMP beyond its engineered performance. As a foundation for this research, the multi-disciplinary project team, consisting of Tetra Tech, Inc., and Wenk Associates Landscape Architects, convened a panel of experts in stormwater engineering, policy, and landscape architecture to examine some of the issues related to BMP implementation and to identify key factors for success. The team also researched case studies from twelve U.S. cities that demonstrate some of these key factors.
