Lead pollutant and stormwater treatment information & products
Lead is found in both particulate (Pb) and dissolved forms (Pb 2+) in industrial stormwater runoff. Lead is used for its unique characteristics although it is now less widely used in domestic products because of its toxicity to humans. Domestic uses of lead in gasoline and paint have stopped in the U.S. and other countries. Common uses of lead today are lead acid batteries

Stormwater Pollutant Factsheet
Isolating the various pollutants and understanding how they behave in the stormwater environment is the first step toward preventing their discharge from your site. Below is information that you might find helpful about some common industrial stormwater pollutants, how they impact the environment, and how they can be removed from stormwater.

Chapter 6: Stormwater Treatment Practices | CT Stormwater
The stormwater treatment practices listed in this section, referred to as primary stormwater treatment practices, are capable of providing high levels of water quality treatment as stand-alone devices. A growing body of research on stormwater treatment
Online MessageUnderstanding the Effects of Stormwater Management
Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) can be used to mitigate the effects of urban development by retaining large volumes of stormwater runoff and treating runoff to remove pollutants. This project focuses on understanding how the presence, type, and spatial pattern of urban stormwater

25 Facts About Stormwater and the MS4 Permit Program
The Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program began in November of 1990. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System (NPDES/SDS) MS4 permit is designed to protect our rivers, lakes and streams from polluted stormwater runoff. To examine program, we connected with SEH MS4 specialist April Ryan, water engineer, who shared some key facts

Stormwater Pollution Prevention | EHS
When it rains on campus, the rainwater runs into a network of storm drains that lead directly into local bodies of water. Along the way, rainwater picks up contaminants, such as cigarette butts, pet waste, oil and garbage, which goes untreated and flows directly into fish and wildlife habitat. Stormwater pollution

Stormwater management for lake protection and restoration
May 21, 2015· The basic premise for selection of a Best Management Practice (BMP) or group of BMPs is to follow the treatment train approach. Under the treatment train approach, stormwater management begins with simple methods that minimize the amount of runoff that occurs from a site and methods that prevent pollution
