Urban Stormwater Runoff Quality Management: Low-Structurally Intensive Measures and Treatment

  • Conference paper
Urban Runoff Pollution

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIG,volume 10))

Abstract

The Storm and Combined Sewer Program (SCSP) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been involved tor 20 years in the development of a diverse technology including combined sewer overflow (CSO) and stormwater control technology, instrumentation, problem assessments, best management practices (BMP) development and evaluation, stormwater management models, sludge hansling and disposal methods, sewerline infiltration/inflow (I/I) control, erosion control, and many others. The more important outputs of the Program will be highlighted, with emphasis on some recent developments and on separate run-off quality control.
