Percent P Removed Via Non-Volume Reduction Treatment.

Caution: NOTE: These percentages apply to the non-volume reduction portion of stormwater runoff. The volume reduction portion of stormwater runoff receives 100 percent credit for particulate and dissolved phosphorus.

0% Is soil P content tested to be < 30 mg/kg per Mehlich III (or equivalent) test?
  • If no, 0%
  • If yes, is there at least 2 feet of soil above the elevated underdrain? If yes, 20% credit,
  • If no, credit = 0.2*x
Where x = (soil depth above elevated underdrain) /2 feet
  • Additional credit for approved P-sorbing soil amendments = 40 percent if one of the following conditions aapplies.
    • 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 (1/3 foot)
    • 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
