RISExplanation for Anomalous Readings during Monitoring of a Best Management Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The USEPA’s Urban Watershed Management Branch (UWMB) has monitored storm-water drainage and best management practices (BMPs) as part of its overall research program. As part of this effort, continuous monitoring equipment ...
Monitoring of a Best Management Practice Wetland before and after Maintenance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Urban Watershed Management Branch monitored a best management practice (BMP) wetland in the Richmond Creek (RC) watershed. This BMP, designated Richmond Creek #5 (RC-5), ...
Rainwater Collection and Management from Roofs at the Edison Environmental Center
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the past, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Edison Environmental Center, a 80.9-ha (200-acre) federal-run facility, directed all rainwater from roofed areas to the existing storm water conveyance system. Over the ...
Swirl Technology: Enhancement of Design, Evaluation, and Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: While different forms of swirl and vortex technologies have been developed during the last thirty years, their major function has been the dual purpose of flow regulation and settleable-solids concentration for combined ...
Control Strategy for Storm-Generated Sanitary-Sewer Overflows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a strategy for the abatement of pollution from storm-generated sanitary-sewer overflows (SSO). Because of the great lengths of sanitary sewer systems, it is often less expensive to use alternatives to ...
Optimization of CSO Storage and Treatment Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Combined-sewer overflow (CSO) must be controlled by a storage-treatment system because storm flow in the combined sewerage system is intermittent and highly variable in both pollutant concentration and flow rate. A treatment ...
Divergent Vegetation Growth Patterns Relative to Bioinfiltration Unit Size and Plant Placement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In 2009, the U.S. EPA constructed six experimental bioinfiltration units (BUs) at the Edison Environmental Center in Edison, New Jersey. They were designed as two sets of three BUs with drainage area to surface area ratios of
Role of Stream Restoration on Improving Benthic Macroinvertebrates and In-Stream Water Quality in an Urban Watershed: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many stream restoration projects do not include a requirement for long-term monitoring after the project has been completed, resulting in a lack of information about the success or failure of certain restoration techniques. ...
Novel Use of Time Domain Reflectometry in Infiltration-Based Low Impact Development Practices
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low impact development (LID) practices intercept storm-water runoff and infiltrate it through a range of media types and underlying soils. Hydrologic performance is typically evaluated by comparing inlet and underdrain ...
