Assessment of Stormwater Best Management Practices

 

Source Reduction

Source reduction is a stormwater management tool that reduces pollution before it enters the stormwater system. Assessing source reduction techniques often relies on empirical estimations. The Assessment Protocol describes assessment methods for source reduction of:

  • Lawn Fertilizers

    • Corrosion Inhibitors

      • Dog Excretion

        • Erosion

          • Road Salt and Sand

            • Atmospheric Deposition

              • Street Sweeping
