There are 5 groups of structural stormwater management practices that can be used to meet the water quality volume criteria and the target removals of 80% for TSS and 40% for total phosphorus: ponds, wetlands, infiltration, filtering, and open channels. Some other practices may meet a portion of this volume, such as grass channels. For a more detailed discussion of SMP options, consult the �Review of Stormwater Treatment Practices� slide show.
