  1. IDEALStormwater BMP Modeling Framework May 8, 2007 Brian T. Bates, PE

  2. Integrated Design and Evaluation Assessment of Loadings Model • History/Background of IDEAL • Modeling Approach • State of the model • Demo • Discussion Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  3. An OCRM Dilemma • Compliance with Antidegradation & TMDLs • Needed an explicit BMP model • Model Hydrology & Hydrualics and pollutant yield from urban areas. • Estimate BMP performance. • Base predictions on accepted predictive procedures. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  4. IDEAL Initiated • Woolpert hired by OCRM • Scope of Model • Literature review • Watershed Framework • Post Construction BMP Design Aid Manual and IDEAL Spreadsheet 2001 2004 2005 2002 2003 Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  5. IDEAL Development • Primary Researchers Dr Bill Barfield – Oklahoma State University Dr. John Hayes – Clemson University Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  6. IDEAL OCRM version • BMP Trapping Sedimentology and soil isotherms • Hydrology Single storm and Total annual runoff • 4 pollutants • 3 BMPs • Pond routing • Single watershed • Post-construction Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  7. Pervious Watershed Modeling Framework Pervious and Unconnected Impervious Directly Connected Impervious Impervious Imp BMP BMP Dry/Wet Detention Basin Outflow From Watershed Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  8. Precip Amount Prob P Growing Season Dormant Season P=0.664 P=0.336 AMC 1 AMC 1 AMC 2 AMC 2 AMC 3 AMC 3 P=0.797 P=0.543 P=0.231 P=0.104 P=0.100 P=0.226 Rainfall Statistics 12 Storms 0.25’’ to 10.5’’ Values for Greenville,SC Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  9. Sediment Yield • Pervious Areas - MUSLE • Impervious Areas - EMC Approach • EMC varies with type of impervious area • Modeling dependability improves as local data is collected • Model Sediment Size Distribution • Used to determine sediment trapping in Vegetated Filter Strip and in ponds • Nutrients and bacteria are sorbed on the exchange phase of the clay particles, hence need to know concentration of clay size particles • Pervious areas based on CREAMS equations • Impervious areas based on NURP data Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  10. Nutrient and Bacteria Loading • Modeling Nutrients • Yield based on event mean concentrations (EMCs) for each chemical • EMCs vary based on land use • Modeling Indicator Bacteria • Yield based on event mean concentrations (EMCs) for bacteria • EMCs highly variable • National average ~ 15,000 number/100ml • Depends a great deal on presence of pets, wildlife, leaky sewers, etc Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  11. BMP Trapping • Predicts trapping of sediments in ponds through overflow rate calculations for 5 particle classes. • Predicts nutrient trapping by settling of particulate matter and sorbed portion on trapped active clay content of the sediment by isotherms. • Predicts bacteria trapping using isotherms and mortality • VFS trapping uses the KY VFS model Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  12. IDEAL OCRM Model Limitations • Only for use on the SC coast • Limited outlet configurations • Numerous spreadsheet constraints • Untested BMP algorithms • No resuspension, denitrification, direct loading on BMP, or bacteria growth. Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration

  13. Greenville County • Woolpert hired by County • Isotherms and Rainfall Analysis • Continue to use spreadsheet 2002 2004 2005 2001 2003 Woolpert IDEAL Demonstration
