Summary Table This chart offers an overview of the water quality treatment and runoff volume reduction of the 12 stormwater treatments analyzed in this report. It includes percent pollutant removal efficiencies expressed as median values; percent average peak flow reduction; and the average lag time for each treatment. (Lag time is the difference in minutes between the influent and effluent volume center of mass.) Blue bars present data from the UNH Stormwater Center; white bars show comparative data on the same, or similar treatments, from alternate sources. “N/T” signifies “no treatment,” indicating that the stormwater treatment did not remove the pollutant(s) in question. |
