Storm Event Criteria to Sample More than 0.1 inch of total rainfall. A minimum inter-event period of 6 hours, where cessation of
flow from the system begins the inter-event period. Obtain flow-weighted composite samples covering a minimum of
70 % of the total storm flow, including as much of the first 20 % of the storm as possible.
A minimum of 10 water quality samples (i.e., 10 influent and 10 effluent samples) should be collected per storm event.
Determining a Representative Data Set At least 50 % of the total annual rainfall must be sampled, for a
minimum of 15 inches of precipitation and at least 15, but preferably 20, storms.

Stormwater Sampling Locations– Sampling locations for stormwater BMPs should be
taken at inlet and outlet.
Sampling Methods– Programmable automatic flow samplers with
continuous flow measurements should be used – Grab samples used for: pH, temperature, cyanide, total phenols, residual
chlorine, oil and grease, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), E coli, total coliform, fecal coliform and streptococci, and enterococci.
Stormwater Flow Measurement Methods– Primary and secondary flow measurement devices are required.

Calculating BMP Efficiencies (ASCE BMP Efficiencies Task 3.1)
Process efficiencies or removal rates should be determined from influent and effluent contaminant concentration and flow data.
– Efficiency Ratio,
– Summation of Loads,
– Regression of Loads,
– Mean Concentration, and
– Efficiency of Individual Storm Loads.Note: The Efficiency Ratio method is preferred.
