Research being conducted by the authors under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program project “Evaluation of Best Management Practices for Highway Runoff Control” and the Water Environment Research Foundation project “Critical Assessment of Stormwater Treatment and Control Selection Issues“ seeks to advance the state-of-the-practice of stormwater design through the application of basic scientifically and technically sound engineering principals using a fundamental unit process design methodology. The research findings are being incorporated into guidance manuals aimed at both the design of highway runoff controls (including low impact designs) and, in the case of the WERF guidance documents, stormwater treatment approaches. The intent of these manuals is to provide a means for better applying research on the relationship between design and performance specifically emphasizing the importance of matching water quality goals to fundamental unit processes that address those goals. To that end, the research discussed in this paper has integrated findings from a number of sources including work by the authors conducted as part of the International Stormwater Best Management Practices Database project as well as the above referenced projects. Significant effort has been made in the research to provide a framework where various sources of theoretical unit process performance information, laboratory and controlled studies, pilot studies, and full scale field monitoring efforts can be effectively used together in the design process. The paper pays particular attention to discussing the current state of the practice of these different sources of performance information and identifies research gaps. This paper introduces the overall philosophy of the integrated unit process design approach and challenges readers to fundamentally change the way they approach the design of urban stormwater control systems. |
