The stormwater collected from the detention tank was tested. A total of three trials per test. The stormwater testing results were compared to drinking water quality standards. The testing parameters are shown in the following table.
Test Parameters | Test Method |
---|---|
pH | HACH Method #8156: pH |
Nitrate | HACH Method #8171: Nitrate |
Ammonia | HACH Method #10031: Ammonia |
Total Nitrogen | HACH Method #10071: Total Nitrogen |
Total Coliform | HACH Method #8074: Total Coliform |
Total Hardness | HACH Method #8266: Total Hardness |
Turbidity | Standard Method #2130B: Nephelometric Method |
Total Suspended Solids | Standard Method #2540 C: Suspended Solids |
Total Dissolved Solids | Standard Method #2540: Total Solids |
Since the stormwater testing indicated that TSS and pH do not meet EPA and EDEQ Standards, the team had to determine appropriate treatment solutions through the following decision matrixes.
