“…The results obtained for the public market are of the same order of magnitude as those found in the literature. For TSS, an average of 37 mg/L was found in Géhéniau et al (2014), which is lower than the results of this study. This difference may be explained by the less frequent traffic at the store studied by Géhéniau et al (2014), compared to the public market, which hosts different shops, as well as the number of parking spots which is at least double at the public market.…”

“…In this study, each rain event was sampled individually to create composite samples for each of the sampled events. In Géhéniau et al (2014), water was collected over a period of time, which may have covered more than one rain event, possibly causing a dilution effect. Concentrations for N were only slightly lower in Géhéniau et al (2014) (1.3 mg/L) than in this study (1.5 mg/Lrear parking; 1.6 mg/Lfront parking); however, Géhéniau et al (2014) found concentrations of P (0.1 mg/L) that were significantly lower than those found at the front parking area of the market (0.7 mg/L).…”

Having a large garden center outside the building, it not surprising to see higher nutrient concentrations at the public market.…”

The performance of stormwater treatment trains and of their individual green infrastructures was evaluated near Montreal, Canada. Three treatment trains were studied: Train 1 – five bioretention cells in series with a wet retention pond; Train 2 – an infiltration trench in series with a dry detention pond; and Train 3 – Train 2 in series with a wet retention pond. A total of 47 rain events were monitored to quantity the hydrological performance, while water quality samples were taken during 24 rainfall events. During the summer, the bioretention cells led to a reduction in runoff volumes varying from 8 to 100%. Overall, the three studied treatment trains and all of the individual infrastructures, except for the dry pond, provided reductions in the mean concentrations of total suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and total phosphorous. Results also showed that the use of a train of stormwater infrastructures can be more effective to reach Quebec's legislated targets than single infrastructures, but only if the infrastructures are sequenced properly. Indeed, the addition of a dry basin at the end of Train 2 affected negatively the removal efficiency of the four studied contaminants.

“…In contrast, load reduction may be more relevant to systems in which chronic pollutant effects are a concern. In recent literature, study results have been reported as effluent concentrations (Géhéniau et al, 2014;Nnadi et al, 2015), mass removal percentage (Drapper and Hornbuckle, 2015;Mangangka et al, 2015), or both (Khan et al, 2012;Houdeshel et al, 2015;Wilson et al, 2014;Jia et al, 2015;Page et al, 2015). The authors would recommend that, as it relates to broader application of LID practices, both may be important and should be reported since the effluent concentration is often a function of the incoming concentration and other site-specific criteria.…”

Since its inception, Low Impact Development (LID) has become part of urban stormwater management across the United States, marking progress in the gradual transition from centralized to distributed runoff management infrastructure. The ultimate goal of LID is full, cost-effective implementation to maximize watershed-scale ecosystem services and enhance resilience. To reach that goal in the Great Plains, the multi-disciplinary author team presents this critical review based on thirteen technical questions within the context of regional climate and socioeconomics across increasing complexities in scale and function. Although some progress has been made, much remains to be done including continued basic and applied research, development of local LID design specifications, local demonstrations, and identifying funding mechanisms for these solutions. Within the Great Plains and beyond, by addressing these technical questions within a local context, the goal of widespread acceptance of LID can be achieved, resulting in more effective and resilient stormwater management.

“…coli, fecal coliforms, PAHs, lead and zinc were effectively removed even in winter (Geheniau et al, 2015). Studies of the nutrient retention performance of bioretention systems were performed in a semi-arid environment, finding that irrigation of the bioretention system improved nitrogen removal (Houdeshel et al, 2015).…”
