1 R. Pitt, A. Maestre, and J. Clary February 7, 208 The National Stormwater Quality Database (NSQD), Version 4.02 Background The National Stormwater Quality Database (NSQD) is an urban stormwater runoff characterization database developed under the direction of Dr. Robert Pitt, P.E., of the University of Alabama and the Center for Watershed Protection under support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Originally released in 200, followed by several updates by Dr. Pitt and Dr. Alexander Maestre (also while at the University of Alabama), it has recently moved to a new long-term home as a companion project to the International Stormwater BMP Database. The NSQD is being maintained as a separate stand-alone database, serving as an important resource for municipal stormwater managers and researchers who are seeking urban runoff characterization data. The NSQD can be searched for water quality data based on land use, state, and EPA Rain Zone, along with several other criteria. The NSQD can be downloaded from the website, and a new web application has been developed to accommodate custom data extraction queries. The NSQD Version 4.02 (last updated January 205) can be downloaded in two formats containing the same information ( NSQD Version 4.02 Excel Spreadsheet (original format) NSQD Version 4.02 Access Database (new format) In 200, the University of Alabama and the Center for Watershed Protection were awarded a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Water 04(b)3 grant to collect and evaluate stormwater data from a portion of the NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) MS4 (municipal separate storm sewer system) stormwater permit holders. In 2008, the NSQD was updated with additional data under continued 04(b)3 support from the EPA. These stormwater quality data and site descriptions were collected and reviewed to describe the characteristics of national stormwater quality, to provide guidance for future sampling needs, and to enhance local stormwater management activities in areas having limited data. The monitoring data collected over nearly a ten-year period from more than 200 municipalities throughout the country have a great potential in characterizing the quality of stormwater runoff and comparing it against historical benchmarks. Prior use of the NSQD data include statistical analyses of the data and providing recommendations for improving the quality and management value of future NPDES monitoring efforts. The current version 4.02 contains the results of about 9,00 urban runoff events and more than 00 different constituents (but many of the obscure constituents have few data). The data are distributed between six main urban land uses: 49%, 20% commercial, 3%, 6%, 6%, and 6% open. Description of the NSQD, Version 4.02 Table lists the constituents included in version 4.02 of the NSQD, and the number of observations (in some cases, most of the observations are below the reported detection limits).

3 The NSQD contains data from about 600 outfall sampling locations, with a median of 0 samples per site (maximum 5). Most of the data in version 4 was obtained from Phase I NPDES municipal monitoring programs, along with several other sources (USGS, BMP database outfall data before controls, special state and academic research programs, NURP, etc.). More than 700 new storms were added to this most recent version of the database since version 3. The International Stormwater BMP Database, hosts to the NSQD, now provides data extraction and analysis tools to assist the user. Most of the effort associated with the NSQD during its development included QA/QC processes to verify the data, especially for unusual conditions. Figure illustrates the sources of the data within EPA rainfall zones (not the same as EPA administrative regions). Figure. Distributions of NSQD data sources per EPA rainfall zones. Maestre (many publications) was one of the primary researchers who helped develop and evaluate the NSQD. He investigated first-flush factors, examined distributions of the values and explored various data substitution options for handling non-detectable values, amongst many other interesting stormwater and data analysis issues. Figure 2 is an example of an Xbar-S chart he prepared for each constituent to identify sites within a land use group that did not appear to fall within expected data distributions. He the reviewed those sites, including aerial photographs. 3

5 It is well know that stormwater characteristics vary considerably. Geographical area and land use have been identified as important factors affecting base flow and stormwater runoff quality, for example. Many graduate students and other stormwater researchers have used earlier versions of the NSQD to explore potential relationships of factors that may affect stormwater quality. A selection of these efforts are listed in the references. As an example, Bochis (200) during her PhD research using an earlier version of the NSQD calculated the main factors and interactions affecting stormwater quality, as shown on Table 2. Yellow and green cells note statistically significant relationships (p<0.05); yellow should be used for predictive purposes as they contain the highest order interaction terms. Table 2.

An example use of these data to calibrate WinSLAMM for different regions in the US is shown below (Pitt 20). Figure 4 is a map showing the NSQD version 3 data locations separated into six major geographical locations. Table 3 shows the land use and location distribution of 4 locations that had detailed development characteristics available to supplement the NSQD water quality data. 5

The long-term average modeled concentrations were compared to the observed concentrations for each location. Example comparison scatterplots are shown in Figure 5. Obviously, some constituents had better matches that others, but the lines of equal values were all significant. It should be noted that all models require calibration and verification. The NSQD is a good place to start for preliminary analyses, but additional locally collected information is necessary for the greatest reliability. 6

Data Summary The following is a brief analysis using data from NSQD ver to determine large-scale land use significant differences and associations. Only data from single land use locations were used in these analyses, limiting these analyses to about 5,200 runoff events overall. The remaining data are from mixed land use areas and were therefore not used in this example analysis. Generally, the minimum number of observations per land use per constituent selected for these analyses was about 50 (if fewer, they were not examined). Some of the constituents also had relatively large amounts of non-detected values. The non-detected values were substituted with constant values for these graphical and robust statistical analyses. A selection of eighteen major stormwater constituents were examined having suitable amounts of data, including: ph, SS, COD, fecal coliforms, TKN, NH 3, NO 2+NO 3, P, filtered P, Cd, Cr, Cu, filtered Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, filtered Zn, and oil and grease. The data for all NSQD constituents were downloaded, and data from the mixed land use locations were removed. The remaining data were then sorted into the six major land use categories (commercial,,,,, and open ) and the numbers of observations (and non-detectable values) determined. Non-detectable values were substituted with appropriate constant values to not distort the data distributions and plots. Statistical summaries of the data for these six land uses (and for the total data set with all land uses combined) were then examined. Minitab (version 6) was then used to create multiple probability distributions (all in log-normal, except for ph). SigmaPlot (version 3) was then used to prepare grouped box and whisker plots of the land uses and overall data sets, along with nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks (most 7

8 of the data were not normally distributed, even after log transformations due to the large amounts of information). The results of these plots and statistical tests were then used to identify candidate groupings of the land uses. The plots and analyses were then repeated for the candidate groups. Some further data groupings were needed for a few of the constituents until the Kruskal-Wallis tests indicated that all of the remaining data groups were significantly different (p <0.05). These data are summarized on the following pages (grouped box-and-whisker plots along with numbers of observations, the coefficient of variation (standard deviation divided by the mean), the median concentration, and the percentage of all observations that had not-detected concentrations. Values of non-detected occurrences larger than about 5% are high-lighted in yellow. These indicate potential distortions of analytical results (such as the COV values). The box plots clearly illustrate the calculated significance of the different data groupings. The Appendix presents these results for the individual land uses and for the final combined land use groups. In most cases, had the highest concentrations and open areas had the lowest concentrations, as expected. Industrial data were often combined with the high concentration data groups and and data were often combined with the lower concentration data groups. In many cases, the land use data sets associated with the lower concentrations had many nondetected observations, as expected, and the open and areas sometimes had few sampled events. The COV values (and the plots) indicate typically expected large variations in the stormwater concentrations in these groups. However, the very large number of data available for most data groupings increases the confidence of the calculated medians (and data ranges), and the confidence calculations of the comparison tests. Most of the confidence results (p values) are much smaller than the typically accepted value of 0.05 (most are <0.00), also indicating significant power in the comparison results. 8
