A New Methodology to Evaluate Pollutant Removal of Gross Solids Separation Devices
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
Gross Solids are a set of stormwater components that includes large organic and inorganic materials, litter and trash, and relatively large suspended sediments. A common characteristic of Gross Solids is that they are not fully accounted for in BMP monitoring protocols that employ only automatic sampling devices for collection of water column samples. A methodology is presented that provides a quantitative framework for incorporating Gross Solids into estimates of the pollutant removal effectiveness of Gross Solids Separation Devices. Illustration of the methodology using monitoring data for a full scale Nutrient Separating Baffle Box demonstrates the significance of including Gross Solids in estimates of pollutant removal effectiveness. The resulting performance analysis would not be possible using traditional monitoring approaches.
