CRWD Home > Our Work > Monitoring and Mapping Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)Stormwater BMPs are activities, practices, and structures designed to reduce stormwater pollution and stormwater runoff volume and increase groundwater recharge. CRWD, in partnership with local units of government and other entities, has been designing and implementing stormwater BMPs throughout the watershed to minimize the impacts of stormwater and improve the water quality of CRWD water resources. CRWD operates and maintains some of these BMPs and assesses their effectiveness in reducing stormwater runoff and removal of pollutants such as phosphorous. Those BMPs include the Villa Park Wetland System in Roseville and the eighteen BMPs constructed for the Arlington Pascal Stormwater Improvement Project in St. Paul, which includes:

BMP Monitoring and Maintenance CRWD monitors the inlet and outlet of each BMP to determine the amount of stormwater runoff and pollutants entering and exiting the BMPs. CRWD, with aid from volunteers and other government entities, routinely inspects and maintains the BMPs to help ensure that they are operating efficiently. BMP Performance Assessment CRWD has compiled all of the BMP performance data into one comprehensive report. This assessment not only presents results and analysis on BMP performance with regards to stormwater volume and pollutant reductions, but also presents a cost-benefit analysis which yields the cost per pound of pollutants removed and the cost per unit of volume reduction. The cost-benefit analysis incorporated actual design, construction, and maintenance costs documented by CRWD. For detailed results of the BMP performance assessment and cost analysis, click on the report link below. Due to the large file size, the report is divided into two main sections; the first being the main body of the report and the second being the Appendices.
