Abstract: In the last several decades there has been a proliferation of structural best management practices (BMPs) for particulate matter (PM) sequestration. However, effective separation and continued retention of PM without washout ...

Abstract: Modification of rainfall-runoff processes by urban infrastructure and anthropogenic activities impacts receiving waters and the surrounding terrestrial environment. Infiltration–exfiltration systems such as a partial ...

Abstract: Elevated and variable aqueous and granulometric concentrations of phosphate species (P) are commonly observed in urban rainfall runoff. Though physical operations such as sedimentation can potentially separate particulate ...

Abstract: Particulate matter (PM) recovery from street sweeping (SS), catch basin (CB), and unit operation (UO) is essential for sustainability of these urban hydrologic functional units (HFUs). PM inventory in HFUs is of increasing ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic separation is a preliminary unit operation frequently utilized in wastewater and more recently in storm water for separation of coarse particulate matter (PM) and gross solids. In order to examine the behavior ...

Abstract: Proliferation of manufactured unit operations to separate particulate matter (PM) transported in storm water has generated interest in modeling of such units beyond conventional “% removal” and “black-box” type evaluations. ...

Abstract: Eight rainfall-runoff events were examined from each of two small paved urban transportation land use watersheds (

Abstract: Rainfall-runoff quantity and quality relationships are impacted by both the built environment in particular “impervious” paved surfaces and anthropogenic activities such as traffic. Through the capture, analysis, and ...

Abstract: This study examined a common form of filtration, a passive radial cartridge filter (RCF) system, to physically separate hetero-disperse particulate matter in rainfall-runoff. The RCF tested utilizes aluminum-oxide coated ...
