Title | Objectives | Relative effort | Typical elapsed time |
---|---|---|---|
Visual inspection | Determine if stormwater BMP is malfunctioning | 1 | 1 day |
Capacity testing | Determine infiltration or sedimentation capacity and rates | 10 | 1 week |
Synthetic runoff testing | Determine infiltration rates, capacity, and pollutant removal performance | 10-100 | 1 week to 1 month |
Monitoring | Determine infiltration rates, capacity, and pollutant removal performance | 400 | 14 months |
