Municipalities in Minnesota can use the Street Sweeping Phosphorus Credit Calculator to determine credits for phosphorus removal! Nearly 70% of Minnesota cities surveyed are already conducting some street sweeping activities. Why not optimize your efforts, claim reductions for your MS4, and quantify water quality benefits? The Calculator requires minimal data inputs to calculate load reductions. |
Go to Street Sweeping Phosphorus Credit Calculator: User Guide - Minnesota Stormwater Manual to download the Credit Calculator The Minnesota Stormwater Manual Wiki street sweeping page includes a wealth of helpful resources including a User Guide and supporting research and documentation. |
University of Minnesota data show that tree litterfall can contribute 37% - 64% of the total phosphorus in stormwater runoff. Cleaning up leaf litter year-round can reduce phosphorus and other contaminants reaching waterways! |
