abstract = "Stormwater managers are increasingly faced with the need to address many potentially-conflicting issues as part of their activities. First, they need to control the potential flooding waters generated after urbanization. This has led to the use of detention facilities and control of peak flow rates to pre-development levels. However, these designs that focused on flow control for larger storms have been providing inconsistent performance for the control of other pollutants. Many other techniques, in addition to detention/sedimentation, have been proposed to alleviate these pollutant concerns. Stormwater ordinances/regulations and the development of TMDLs (with its subsequent need to control loadings to a stream) has driven the improvement of existing treatment technologies (often referred to as structural best management practices [BMPs]) and the development of new ones. Assumptions have made regarding the range of performance of these devices, based on the field data that currently exists, and as new data is submitted for publication, these new insights are added into the body of knowledge on BMP design and performance, specifically on the design needed to provide a specific performance.",
