Monitoring
Since the BMP Database project’s inception in 1996, a key purpose of project has been to provide better guidance on urban stormwater BMP monitoring, reporting protocols and performance analysis methods. These protocols have been released in various BMP Database reports over time and are updated to incorporate lessons learned and address new stormwater management approaches.
The most current and comprehensive information is provided in the 2009 Urban Stormwater BMP Performance Monitoring Guidance. This manual provides both monitoring guidance and recommended performance analysis approaches, including approaches to evaluating volume reduction.
