Connor Brogan Tess Thompson Dalia Rakha Chuck Dietz Dina Huynh Lauren Grimes Problem Statement/Goals/Objectives Improve the quality of stormwater runoff in drop-inlets around campus by reducing: Sediment Bacteria Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) Pesticides and herbicides
Overall, design must be able to:
Reduce amount of pollutants entering surface water Adapt to existing drop inlet systems Criteria/Constraints/Standards Criteria Constraints Standards Must fit inside the Design life Effective Best current drop inlet Low cost Management Practices Must filter target Easy analyzed: pollutants maintenance/access Dry Swale Withstand 10 year ibility Bioretention System storm Low rate of leaching Filterra System 50-lb maximum weight of retrofit design FLEXSTORM PURE Media must be held in Low weight in order catch basin inserts place to allow for routine Flooding must not removal occur as a result of Design Progress Filter media Filter Placement Finalization of 80-90% sand On the ground of the Infiltration rates and 10-20% soil inlet to allow for required headspace 3-5% organic matter sufficient head space Depth of media layers Mulch Filtration unit placed Model inlet for testing on lattice topped table to allow flow of water
Water-70% of Earth's Surface Many Uses Increasing Water Shortages - Depletion of Aquifers, Lack of Rain, Mismanagement, River Diversion Highlighted Under Water and Sanitation
