Document Summary

Stormwater retrofit stormwater treatment on an existing development that is: currently untreated by any bmp. Subsurface infiltration trench intfiltration trench that receives water from multiple houses, they intercept overland flows and reduce the amount of water going into sewers. Stormwater bmps can be categorized by the location in which they are implemented. List all three bmp categories and give one example of each to mitigate storm runoff. Storage retrofit classification common locations in a subwatershed where large storage volumes can be found. Eg) modify existing ponds, storage above roadway crossing. On-site retrofit classification type or location of impervious area they treat, such as individual rooftops, small parking lots, streets, stormwater hotspots, and other small impervious areas. Eg) hotspot operations, small parking lot retrofits, individual streets, individual rooftops, landscape hardscapes, underground retrofits. What is the difference between structural and non-structural bmps. Provide two examples of each type of bmp.
