Webinar Description:

In retrofit scenarios, it is often challenging to determine the stormwater control measures (SCM) best suited for the site. The manual is based on the concept that incorporating some stormwater treatment for developed sites is better than omitting all together because prescribed design standards cannot be fully met. The manual guides users to develop SCMs based on their core functional and treatment components and encourages the user to piece components together in configurations that best fit project and site-specific needs. The manual presents the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) SCM Performance Curves as a tool to quantify water quality benefit (i.e. pollutant removal credit) for a range of sizes and types of SCMs to aid in the selection process and justify the retrofit.
