Improved Protocol for Classification and Analysis of Stormwater-Borne Solids
Abstract
The objective of this literature review is to summarize the current state of stormwater solids characterization and sampling techniques, identify advantages and disadvantages of identified techniques, and highlight existing concerns surrounding stormwater monitoring. The review summarizes the research findings regarding Total Suspended Solids, Suspended Sediment Concentration, and Gross Solids. Based on the literature review, a classification system is proposed that defines the major classes of stormwater-borne solids. Finally, protocols addressing sample collection and analysis have been developed that can be used to monitor the new classes of stormwater-borne solids. Published by WERF. 114 pages.
