Measuring Heavy-Metal Concentrations in Stormwater Runoff Could Lead to a New Stormwater BMP
Deicing salts have been found to have a negative impact on the performance of manufactured filtration treatment devices (MFTDs); yet, testing protocols for MFTDs rarely consider the effects of deicing. As a guide to developing a test, this session will examine a standardized stormwater-filter deicing protocol developed by a leading European technical authority that used to test the HydroChain™ Vortex Filter.

Technology for Increasing BMP Efficiency and Monitoring
This presentation will provide an overview of smart stormwater technology and methods capable of documenting the health and performance of stormwater infrastructure in real time. Case studies will be examined on two different BMP types: permeable pavement systems in the City of Cudahy; and underground storage systems in the City of Appleton, both located in the State of Wisconsin. Data collected from these case studies show how stormwater BMPs are capable of performing much better than computer models give them credit.
