Abstract: Constructed storm-water wetlands (CSWs) have become popular storm water control measures (SCMs) in low-lying coastal environments, offering a hybrid between larger detention practices (wet ponds) and newer green infrastructure ...

Abstract: Forty-three bioretention cells (BRCs) throughout North Carolina were assessed for maintenance needs, soil media composition, and as-built surface storage volume to determine whether BRCs are typically constructed per their ...

Abstract: Bioretention cells are incorporated as part of low impact development (LID) because of their ability to release influent runoff as exfiltration to the soil or evapotranspiration to the atmosphere. However, little care is ...

Abstract: Storm-water best management practices (BMPs) are typically assessed using the performance metric of pollutant concentration removal efficiencies. However, debate exists whether this is the most appropriate metric to use. ...

Abstract: Fill media and excavation volume are the main costs in constructing bioretention cells, but the importance and impact of media depth in these systems is relatively unknown. Two sets of loamy-sand-filled bioretention cells ...

Abstract: Impervious cover (IC) has been shown to increase runoff volumes, peak discharges, and pollutant loads to streams, which can lead to degraded water quality and biological integrity. Stormwater control measures (SCMs) have ...

Abstract: An assessment of the performance of four level spreader–vegetative filter strip (LS-VFS) systems designed to treat urban storm-water runoff was undertaken at two sites in the Piedmont of North Carolina. At each site, a ...
