This table shows comparison of phosphorus removal for different BMPs.a,e,f Values represent the percent of incoming pollutant that is removed. Source: MPCA Minnesota Stormwater Manual.

aRemoval rates show in table are a composite of five sources:
- Caraco (Center for Watershed protection, 2001)
- Maryland Department of the Environment](2000)
- Winer (Center for Watershed Protection, 2000)
- P8 modeling (William Walker)
b Average removal efficiency expected under MPCA Sizing Rules 1 and 3
c Upper limit on phosphorus removal with increased sizing and design features, based on national review
d Average rate of soluble phosphorus removal in the literature
e See section on calculating credits for each BMP in this Manual.
f Note that the performance numbers apply only to that portion of total flow actually being treated; it does not include any runoff that bypasses the BMP
gNote that soluble P can transfer from surface water to groundwater, but this column refers only to surface water
hNote that 100% is assumed for all infiltration, but only for that portion of the flow fully treated in the infiltration facility; by-passed runoff or runoff diverted via underdrain does not receive this level of treatment.
