Origins of Pollution Abatement Criteria
• 90% of all rainfall events are less than one inch• 80% of rainfall volume is received from events
less than one inch in depth• assumes each event completely removes pollutants
from drainage catchment and delivers them for treatment
![Page 8: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Low Impact Development
• Control occurs closer to source• Reduce maintenance obligations• Still need educational outreach• Still need enforcement• Contrary to compact development?• Cheaper to prevent pollution from entering
receiving waters than to remove pollutants from receiving waters
![Page 10: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Retention Ponds
• Typically dry (may be wet)
• Designed to store a specific amount of runoff (usually from the first inch of rainfall in the drainage area)
• Will usually return to dry state or designed water elevation through percolation and evaporation in 72 hours
![Page 12: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Underdrains
• Perforated pipe surrounded with filter fabric material and a specific medium (sand or gravel) for percolation
• Transports groundwater and percolated stormwater into perforated pipe that discharges into a control structure
• Typically installed in poor draining soils and wet areas
• Designed to keep ponds dry or at a certain elevation

Wet Detention Pond Design
• Greater treatment volume
• Slow volume recovery
• Littoral shelf with wetland plants
• Limited open water
• Mean depth three to ten feet
• Separation of inlets and outlets for biological contact
![Page 21: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Wet Detention – How Not to Do It
![Page 23: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Wet Detention – Site Constraints Considered
![Page 24: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Exfiltration
• Temporarily hold water in perforated pipes• Allow water to percolate and filter through
surrounding soils• Typically installed in parking lots, under garages
and other buildings (access for maintenance)• Not appropriate for poorly drained soils or high
groundwater conditions• Heavy reliance in a concentrated area can alter
groundwater conditions and cause damage

Why Retrofit?
• It may be the only way to achieve further water quality improvements
• It may be the only cost-effective way to recover diminished capacity in existing stormwater conveyance systems
• It’s the right thing to do!

Regional Stormwater Management SystemsWhen a Regional Approach is Best
• Multiple use objectives
• Multi-use can mean multi-funding
• Economies of scale
• Improve the chance of success
![Page 38: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Southeast Lakes BasinCharacteristics
• Intensely developed, 3.5 sq mile area
• Lowest elevation 58 feet
• Much of the basin 65-75 feet
• Lowest point on basin rim 103 feet
• 18 lakes
• Over 60 drainage wells
• No outfall to any surface receiving water
![Page 39: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Southeast Lakes BasinStrategies to Solve Flooding
• Gravity diversion of stormwater away from basin rim
• Creation of additional impoundments
• Increased storage through lowered regulation schedules
• Transfer of surface water from lakes that flood to those requiring augmentation
![Page 40: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Greenwood Urban Wetland
• Over 75 homes flooded for 3 weeks in 1960
• 2-acre lake expanded to 13 acres
• New parkland created
• Stormwater re-use employed for irrigating park as well as adjacent cemetery
![Page 41: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Lake Lancaster Augmentation Well
• Cannot be used if lake is above 68 feet above sea level
• Must be turned off once lake reaches 69 feet above sea level
• Limited to 114,000,000 gallons per year
• Use is prohibited during water emergencies
• Has more nutrients than surface water
![Page 44: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Lake Lurna-Lake Lancaster Interconnection
• Protects Lake Lurna from flooding
• Moves excess water to Lake Lancaster for augmentation
• Is a cleaner source than groundwater
• Mimics natural processes in a landlocked basin
• Postpones or eliminates the need for more drainage wells or surface outfall from a large, intensely developed landlocked basin
• No guarantee that there will always be enough water for augmentation!
![Page 45: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Use of Re-Use Water (Highly Treated Effluent)
• Regulatory concerns about impact to surface waters
• Other, greater demands for a new resource that cannot meet all demands
• The good news: we will be drinking our own wastewater in the future.
• The bad news: there won’t be enough to go around!
![Page 46: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Flood Control Impoundments
• Potential for catastrophic failure• Higher level of protection
– Greater return frequency
– Longer storm duration
• Freeboard (factor of safety)• Plan for controlled failure
– Berm elevations set to direct flows that exceed design
– Erodible plugs
![Page 52: State of Stormwater Management Practice in Florida](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bae550346895d8fe457/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Regional Stormwater Management Lessons Learned
• Science and engineering – not politics - must lead design development
• Proper location (mimic nature)
• Apply sufficient resources (land, money, manpower)
• Ease of maintenance increases chance of success
• Still the most cost-effective way to recover capacity in an over-capacity system
• Can be an engine of redevelopment and revitalization
