Phosphorus credits for bioretention systems with an underdrain.
Link to this table
| Particulate phosphorus | Dissolved phosphorus |
|---|---|
Is Media Mix C or D being used or is the media phosphorus content 30 mg/kg or less per the Mehlich 3 test1?
|
1. Is Media Mix C or D being used or is the media phosphorus content 30 mg/kg or less per the Mehlich 3 test?
2. Does the system include approved P-sorbing soil amendments2?
|
1Other widely accepted soil P tests may be used.
2Acceptable P sorption amendments include
- 5% by volume elemental iron filings above IWS or elevated underdrain
- minimum 5% by volume sorptive media above IWS or elevated underdrain
- minimum 5% by weight water treatment residuals (WTR) to a depth of at least 10 cm
- other P sorptive amendments with supporting third party research results showing P reduction for at least 20 year lifespan, P credit commensurate with research results
