  Course Reviews (4.7/5): 

  
  

  Summary: This practical course provides a comprehensive overview of stormwater pollutant control measures (i.e., best management practices - BMPs) and their performance. Topics include an overview of stormwater BMPs, BMP selection, performance assessment, BMP effectiveness, and performance optimization. The course focuses on how pollutant removal is affected by BMP design, operation, maintenance, and the use of treatment trains. Municipal, industrial, and construction BMPs are discussed. The latest BMP performance data from the International Stormwater BMP Database are presented. These data provide a baseline for understanding typical BMP performance and setting performance expectations. Recommended BMP inspection practices are also discussed.
