• Abstract:
  This report builds on recent FHWA manuals by expanding and presenting additional data, design criteria, and monitoring study results on
  
  stormwater best management practices (BMPs) implemented in ultra-urban areas. An extensive literature search was performed along
  
  with a comprehensive analysis of documented information currently available, with the focus on identifying new and successful
  
  technologies for ultra-urban areas. Factors used to identify ultra-urban BMP studies included:
  
  .. Limited space available for BMP implementation (less than 0.5 ha [1 ac]) . . Drainage area imperviousness greater than 50 percent. . Property value of land more than $215 per square meter ($20 per square foot) . . Location of BMP in right-of-way (only available space) . Existence of build-out conditions at the site (lot-line to lot-line development) .
  
  The purpose of this report is to provide a planning-level review of the applicability and use of new and more traditional BMPs in ultra-urban
  
  areas. This report focuses on the unique characteristics specific to ultra-urban settings and provides specific guidance for selecting and
  
  siting stormwater management technologies. The information is structured in an informative, user-friendly format, with case studies
  
  highlighting examples of BMP monitoring throughout the country and tables illustrating the characteristics of each BMP to facilitate
  
  comparison and identification of specific technologies appropriate to a given site. BMP information is provided in fact sheets, which
  
  address applicability, effectiveness, siting and design, maintenance, and cost considerations. The report is organized into separate
  
  chapters that address ultra-urban considerations, BMP design information tailored to the ultra-urban environment, monitoring program
  
  design, and BMP selection.
