• Abstract:
  This report is based on field sampling that was conducted between February 14, 2005 and October 27, 2006 to measure the effectiveness of the biorentention site at the Benning Road Bridge over the Anacostia River, the DC Sand filter underneath a parking lot at DC Village, and a BaySaver underneath the parking lot at the W Street parking lot in removing pollutants from urban stormwater runoff. Influent and effluent samples were collected from 15, 12, and 18 at Benning Road, DC Village, and W Street respectively. Only major rainfall events, greater than 0.1 inches of rain, with an antecedent dry period of 72 hours, in compliance with EPA regulations for further analysis in the laboratory were monitored.
