1 Module 4: WinSLAMM and Stormwater Controls Robert Pitt University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL Porous pavement and bioretention controls for roof and parking lot runoff, Portland, OR The first step in using WinSLAMM for an area is to gather the needed data, especially the areas for the different surfaces. This information can be obtained from good aerial photographs for existing areas, or from project maps for proposed areas. This area is entered into the main land use screen, divided into major categories. See the basic WinSLAMM module for a review agement/m5%stormwater%models/m5%in ternet%material/mainswm5.htm Some of the other land uses and source areas included in WinSLAMM

Stormwater Control Categories in the International Stormwater BMP Database: Structural Controls: Detention ponds Grass filter strips Infiltration basins Media filters Porous pavement Retention ponds Percolation trenches/wells Wetland basins Wetland channels/swales Hydrodynamic devices Non-Structural Controls: Education practice Recycling practice Maintenance practice Source controls General Approach for Stormwater Management Minimize directly connected impervious areas Use a combination of infiltration and sedimentation practices May need a combination of source area/preventative practices and end-of-pipe treatment Fit the practices into the landscape Roof Paved parking/storage Unpaved parking/storage Playgrounds Drivew ays Sidew alks/w alks WinSLAMM Treatment Practices Infiltration Trenches Biofiltration/Rain Gardens Cisterns/ rain barrels Wet detention pond Grass Drainage Swale Street Cleaning Catchbasins Porous Pavement Streets/alleys Undeveloped areas Small landscaped areas Other pervious areas Other impervious areas Freew ay lanes/shoulders Large turf areas Large landscaped areas Drainage system Plus, we now have upflow filters and hydrodynamic devices, and are working on other media filters and combination controls Outfall Drainage Disconnection 4

7 Decision Analysis With so much data available, and so many options that can be analyzed, how does one select the best stormwater control program? The least costly that meets the objective? If multiple goals, then possibly not as clear and need a more flexible approach. Consider the following example (a conservation design industrial park in Huntsville, AL): Possible, if only have one numeric standard: If 8% SS reduction goal, the least costly would be wet detention. In this example, grass swales, street cleaning, and catchbasins cannot reach this level of control. If 4% SS reduction goal, then grass swales wins. This site was divided into four subareas, one area has 3 industrial lots (about.6 acres each), plus a large undeveloped area (6. acres) and isolated sinkholes (4.6 acres). The developed area is divided into the following: Roofs plus paved parking:.7 acres Streets (.7 curb-miles): 3. acres Small landscaped areas (B, or sandy-loam soils, but assumed silty soils due to compaction):. acres Conventional drainage system costs (5% over yrs) were estimated to be: Capital cost of project = $96,4 (5) Annual maintenance cost = $,96/year (5) Annual cost of conventional drainage = $6,85 per year 7

It is possible to simply filter out (remove) the options that do not meet all of the absolutely required criteria. If the options remaining are too few, or otherwise not very satisfying, continue to explore additional options. This example only considers combinations of 3 types of stormwater control devices, for example. There are many others that can also be explored. If the options that meet the absolute criteria look interesting and encouraging, then continue.

Raiffa Decision Analysis with Multiple Conflicting Objectives. John Wiley & Sons. New York.) Utility curves and tradeoffs can be developed for the remaining attributes, after all the absolutely required goals are met. The above example includes attributes of several different types: - costs - land requirements - runoff volume (volumes, habitat responses, and rates) - particulate solids (reductions, yields and concentrations) - particulate phosphorus (reductions, yields and concentrations) - total zinc (reductions, yields and concentrations) Utility Curves for Different Attributes (technically based, would not vary for different interested parties) Volumetric runoff coefficient (Rv) as an indicator of habitat quality and aquatic biology stress: Attribute Expected Utility Value Habitat Value Condition <.

HydroInternational UpFlo TM Select bypass option in catchbasin controls to describe hydrodynamic device bypass Upflow Filter can be evaluated in WinSLAMM Essen, Germany Conclusions Madison, WI Calibrated and verified stormwater models can be used to develop a great deal of information concerning many different stormwater management options. Regulations and criteria also need to have different formats to acknowledge site specific problems and objectives. The use of clear and flexible decision analysis techniques, as outlined in this presentation, is therefore important when selecting the most appropriate stormwater control program for a site. 5
