In order to evaluate the performance of the stormwater best management practices (BMPs) installed on the Belknap campus at the University of Louisville, a comprehensive assessment on the stormwater BMPs' the flow volume reduction, peak flow attenuation, and overflow area abatement was made. We used a two-pronged analysis based on 1) predictive modeling using data mining approach; 2) model-based hydraulic simulation. The novelty of study is that it not only assessed the stormwater BMPs' performances on flow volume reduction, but also assessed their performance on peak flow attenuation which is neglected in previous studies and assessment practices. Flow volume reduction and peak flow attenuation were assessed through mining the rainfall and combined sewer flow data before and after the BMPs' installation. The stormwater BMPs' performances on overflow area abatement were assessed through contrasting the overflow areas before and after the BMPs' installation. The radar rainfall data was verified using the local rain gauge data, and the rainfall event is sorted out using a 6 hour dry period. The data mining in this study includes rainfall data validation, data preparation, and modelling. The predictive Multiple Linear Regression Models (MLRMs) and Back Propagation Neural Network Models (BPNNM) were built. For the study area, flow volume in wet weather is mostly controlled by rainfall depth, and followed rainfall duration. Peak flow is decided by rainfall depth, peak rainfall intensity, duration and duration of above average rainfall intensity. Peak flow is negatively correlated with rainfall duration, while positively correlated with other three features. According to both model, the estimated volume of the flow diverted by the stormwater BMPs are approximately 30 million gallons per year, and the magnitude of the peak flow could be trimmed down by approximately 50%. Multiple linear regression and backpropagation neural network are evaluation methods which are not only applicable in the studied case, but also can be widely adopted. However, it shows that the BPNNM is only viable to predict for flow volume lower than 6 million gallons. The overflow area abatement was assessed through contrasting the overflow areas before and after the installation of the stormwater BMPs. Overflow areas were visualized by performing coupled 1D/2D hydraulic simulation. It shows that the overflow areas, which could be saved by the stormwater BMPs, depend on the magnitude of the rainfall event. The abatement in overflow areas is more evident at 4 inch rainfall event and the 1 inch rainfall event. In the 4 inch rainfall event, the overflow areas at the JB Speed School parking lot, Student Rec Center, and College of Business were significantly abated by the stormwater BMPs.

Stormwater management is typically approached from different perspectives by practicing professionals. As such, stormwater planning/design is not always completed as a multi-disciplinary coalition of experts using holistic and synergistic methods. For a number of years, engineers and design professionals, particularly landscape architects, have been employing various strategies and techniques to address on-site stormwater management in terms of water quality and quantity. There is increasing awareness that in order to create solutions that are effective over both the short and long-term a landscape architect's approach needs to account for the health, safety and welfare perspectives carried by engineers, the unique aspects of particular project sites, their surroundings and bio-regional context, as well as the perceptions of clients, other key stakeholders, and the broader public. This research investigates the various criteria integral to developing an analytic framework for ecologically-appropriate stormwater planning/design (Sustainable Stormwater Evaluation and Site Assessment or SSWESA). SSWESA is proposed as a type of decision-tree for site analysis of sustainable systems pertaining to stormwater. Using the SSWESA process is expected to help researchers and professionals make better planning and design decisions as they select and implement appropriate best management practices (BMPs) for a given site and context. My intent in developing SSWESA is to help designers assess existing and potential stormwater functions at the site scale in order to promote sustainable planning and design based upon the important principle: "First, do no harm". It is also my intent to promote further research related to sustainability by providing references and sources from experts in the various fields related to ecologically-based stormwater management. A review of the literature related to ecological factors relevant to low impact stormwater management assisted in the development and refinement of the criteria for stormwater assessment and evaluation. In this report, the SSWESA framework is tested on a public school property in Manhattan, Kansas to demonstrate how the framework is applied and to understand the questions and issues that arise from its use.

The intense concentration of human activity in urban areas leads to changes in both the quantity and quality of runoff that eventually reaches our streams, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coasts. The increasing use of impervious surfaces designed to provide smooth and direct pathways for stormwater run-off, has led to greater runoff volumes and flow velocities in urban waterways. Unmanaged, these changes in the quantity and quality of stormwater can result in considerable damage to the environment. Improved environmental performance is needed to ensure that the environmental values and beneficial uses of receiving waters are sustained or enhanced. Urban Stormwater - Best-Practice Environmental Management Guidelines resulted from a collaboration between State government agencies, local government and leading research institutions. The guidelines have been designed to meet the needs of people involved in the planning, design or management of urban land uses or stormwater drainage systems. They provide guidance in ten key areas: *Environmental performance objectives *Stormwater management planning *Land use planning *Water sensitive urban design *Construction site management *Business surveys *Education and awareness *Enforcement *Structural treatment measures *Flow management Engineers and planners within local government, along with consultants to the development industry, should find the guidelines especially useful. Government agencies should also find them helpful in assessing the performance of stormwater managers. While developed specifically for application in Victoria, Australia, the information will be of value to stormwater managers everywhere.

Optimizing Stormwater Treatment Practices: A Handbook of Assessment and Maintenance provides the information necessary for developing and operating an effective maintenance program for stormwater treatment. The book offers instructions on how to measure the level of performance of stormwater treatment practices directly and bases proposed maintenance schedules on actual performance and historical maintenance efforts and costs. The inspection methods, which are proven in the field and have been implemented successfully, are necessary as regulatory agencies are demanding evaluations of the performance of stormwater treatment practices. The authors have developed a three-tiered approach that offers readers a standard protocol for how to determine the effectiveness of stormwater treatment practices currently in place.

Summarizes the capabilities and limitations of structural best management practices in current use for the control of the quality of urban runoff. Addresses issues of particular concern to the coastal zone. Observations are derived from multiple field studies. Includes assessments of extended detention ponds, wet ponds, stormwater wetlands, multiple pond systems, infiltration trenches, infiltration basins, porous pavement, sand filters, grassed swales, vegetated filter strips and water quality inlets. For each practice, the report discusses pollutant removal capability, longevity, environmental impacts, construction and maintenance costs, feasibility in different development contexts, and adaptability to different geographic settings, particularly coastal. The report also suggests improvements under development for each practice, intended to correct notable design flaws or increase overall stormwater management capability.

The primary focus of stormwater and urban runoff research during the past twenty-five years has been on the physical description and the chemical quality assessment of runoff events and the design and implementation of the best management practices to control these events. There is a definite need for more effective integration of receiving system issues in the management and regulation of stormwater runoff. This book successfully brings together a diverse group of environmental specialists to address the issues surrounding the assessment, management, and control of stormwater, and more specifically urban runoff, from a receiving system perspective. The book's emphasis on the receiving system is timely, coming during a period when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is placing increasing emphasis on wet weather conditions through a new permit program for stormwater runoff and a policy on combined sewer overflows. Stormwater Runoff and Receiving Systems covers biocriteria, assessment of receiving water integrity, and integrated watershed analysis-all aspects of current water quality management programs for both industrial and municipal areas. More than thirty chapters are divided into six sections, offering in-depth discussions on various issues relating to stormwater, urban runoff, and receiving systems; impacts; uncertainty and risk; study design; impact mitigation; and issues analysis. Anyone who deals with regulatory programs requiring stormwater effect assessment including more than sampling and analysis of chemical water quality parameters in effluents will find this reference particularly useful.
