Combining Ponds & Filtration to Achieve Enhanced Water Quality

Presented by: Jamie McCutchen, President, Rymar Waterworks Innovations
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - Live

Detention ponds are the most common Stormwater Management BMP and are often the primary method to provide post-construction water quality for new development. Although widely accepted, there are many flaws with the traditional "first-flush" design methodology. These include limited treatment for smaller storm events and requiring pond size to be larger than necessary. This presentation will introduce a new methodology to incorporate filtration with stormwater basins and explain how it can result in treatment of more of the annual rainfall, higher TSS removal efficiency and do so with smaller basins.
