Treatment Train Scenarios

New Development & Stormwater Ponds in Series Scenarios

Step 1: Review Project Goals & Site Conditions

This scenario is for a new residential development in the rural town in central Minnesota. The new development is to be 40 acres with four 10-acre sub-neighborhoods. The upstream neighborhoods have slopes of 2% draining to the downstream southwest neighborhood, hereby referred to as the “BMP Neighborhood.” The basic site conditions for the New Development setting are summarized in Table 3.5.1. For this scenario two treatment train options will be evaluated: a Varied BMP Approach and Stormwater Ponds in Series Approach. The existing site layout for the New Development scenario can be seen in Figure 3.5.1.
