• Abstract:
  The genesis for this research project was a desire to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
  
  System (NPDES) as cost effectively as possible. The construction of stormwater handling and treatment facilities is
  
  costly because of the labor, materials and land required. After these facilities have been built, they then present an
  
  ongoing maintenance liability. In addition, the provisions of NPDES call for monitoring that presents another
  
  ongoing cost. Research in all these areas could lead to improved water quality, reduced costs, or accomplishing
  
  both simultaneously. This project evaluated the state of practice and available data regarding stormwater Best
  
  Management Practices (BMPs) and monitoring, devised a streamlined and simplified approach to try and satisfy
  
  monitoring requirements, and then attempted to use that approach to evaluate both traditional and innovative
  
  stormwater BMPs. These attempts identified obstacles to systematically and cost effectively monitoring
  
  stormwater BMPs and possible remedies to these obstacles. The key outcomes of the project were the validation of
  
  a novel BMP, the identification of obstacles to monitoring, and a template for developing BMP monitoring plans.
