BRINK, I C  and  KAMISH, W. Stormwater pond metals and solids removal efficiency determination with the effluent probability method: A novel classification system. J. S. Afr. Inst. Civ. Eng. [online]. 2016, vol.58, n.2, pp.49-55. ISSN 2309-8775.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2309-8775/2016/v58n2a6.

This technical note contains findings from a larger research project into the design of stormwater detention and retention ponds for removal of metals and solids. The project required a standard system with which case studies obtained from the International Stormwater BMP Database could be compared in terms of efficiency. A novel classification system for use with the Effluent Probability Method, designed for this purpose, was developed and is presented here.

Keywords : standard classification system; stormwater pond; metals removal.
