The Effectiveness of Stormwater BMPs in Reducing Toxic Contaminants in Urban Runoff

Schueler, T., Youngk, A., Williamson, L. 2017. The Effectiveness of Stormwater BMPs in Reducing Toxic Contaminants in Urban Runoff: A Literature Review for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Watershed Science Bulletin June 2017. Center for Watershed Protection, Ellicott City, MD. 19pp. Toxic contaminants, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and metals, are of interest to many watershed managers who want to safeguard aquatic and human health. This article summarizes literature findings on the degree to which structural urban best management practices (BMPs) that are currently intended to decrease nutrient and sediment pollution can also reduce toxic contamination of waterways. Such multiple benefits could…

Review of the Available Literature and Data on the Runoff and Pollutant Removal Capabilities of Urban Trees

Center for Watershed Protection. 2017. Review of the Available Literature and Data on the Runoff and Pollutant Removal Capabilities of Urban Trees. Crediting Framework Product #1 for the project Making Urban Trees Count: A Project to Demonstrate the Role of Urban Trees in Achieving Regulatory Compliance for Clean Water. Center for Watershed Protection, Ellicott City, MD. The Center for Watershed Protection reviewed a total of 159 publications to evaluate two research questions: 1) What is the effectiveness of urban tree planting on reducing runoff, nutrient and sediment? 2) How does effectiveness vary by species, over time, with differences in planting…

Relative and Absolute Reductions in Annual Water Yield and Non-Point Source Pollutant Loads of Urban Trees

Hynicka, J. and D. Caraco. 2017. Relative and Absolute Reductions in Annual Water Yield and Non-Point Source Pollutant Loads of Urban Trees. Crediting Framework Product #2 for the project Making Urban Trees Count: A Project to Demonstrate the Role of Urban Trees in Achieving Regulatory Compliance for Clean Water. Center for Watershed Protection, Ellicott City, MD. The Center for Watershed Protection led development of a water balance model to provide an improved method for quantifying the stormwater benefits of urban tree canopy. The water balance model estimates the mean annual runoff for a single tree at maturity planted over grass…
