Median pollutant removal of total suspended solids by stormwater treatment practices. Values represent percentage of incoming pollutant load that is removed. Source: Minnesota Stormwater Manual. Manual data was based on information from ASCE/EPA International Database; Winer (2000)

Bioretentiona	85c
Filtrationb	85
Infiltrationd	100
Stormwater ponds	80
Stormwater wetlands	75

^aData based on fewer than five monitoring studies
^bExcludes vertical sand filters and filter strips
^cFiltration values used
^dNote that 100% is assumed for all infiltration, but only for that portion of the flow fully treated in the infiltration facility; by-passed runoff does not receive any treatment.
