*Nieber et al., 2014. This paper, [http://www.metrocouncil.org/METC/files/9f/9f5e1d8d-30d0-44f2-ba83-aeca8f372c61.pdf The Impact of Stormwater Infiltration Practices on Groundwater Quality] summarizes results from monitoring studies conducted at three infiltration practices. The sites included an infiltration basin, a large rain garden (bioinfiltration), and an underground infiltration system. Lysimeters were employed beneath the practices to determine the quality of infiltrating stormwater. | *Nieber et al., 2014.

*Pitt et al., 1996; [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.404.9299&rep=rep1&type=pdf 2002]. These papers present an analysis of the contamination potential for a wide range of stormwater constituents. The authors evaluate groundwater risk based on three factors: chemical mobility, abundance of the chemical in stormwater runoff, and the likelihood of the chemical being attenuated through sedimentation practices, with the most limiting of these factors determining the risk. A table summarizes this information for a large number of chemicals of potential concern. | *Pitt et al., 1996; [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.404.9299&rep=rep1&type=pdf 2002].
