Step 5. Stormwater Management Capability
Notes:
This matrix examines the capability of each STP option to meet stormwater management criteria. It shows whether an STP can meet requirements for:
Water Quality. The matrix tells whether each practice can be used to provide water quality treatment effectively. For more detail, consult the pollutant removal matrix.
Recharge. The matrix indicates whether each practice can provide groundwater recharge, in support of recharge requirements. It may also be possible to meet this requirement using stormwater credits.
Channel Protection. The matrix indicates whether the STP can typically provide channel protection storage. The finding that a particular S TP cannot meet the channel protection requirement does not necessarily imply that the STP should be eliminated from consideration, but is a reminder that more than one practice may be needed at a site (e.g., a bioretention area and a downstream ED pond).
Quantity Control The matrix shows whether an STP can typically meet the overbank flooding criteria for the site. Again, the finding that a particular STP cannot meet the requirement does not necessarily mean that it should be eliminated from consideration, but rather is a reminder that more than one practice may be needed at a site (e.g., a bioretention area and a downstream stormwater detention pond).
