Resources

Pond Assessment Tool (Link): The Pond Assessment Tool is a spreadsheet tool that allows the assessment of stormwater ponds for phosphorus water quality and potential sediment phosphorus release. The Tool was built on the results of several years of intensive data collection at ponds treating stormwater (water chemistry, sediment phosphorus release, development and aggregation of supporting datasets) through multiple research projects.

Siting Surface Infiltration-Based SCMs (link): A GIS tool was developed to help with Siting Surface Infiltration-Based Stormwater Control Measures Using a Geographic Information Systems Approach. 

MNPavePerm (link): MNPavePerm is a spreadsheet tool that allows users to determine whether permeable pavement is appropriate for their specific site and project characteristics. 

Roadside Swale Calculator (link): The Roadside Swale Calculator is a spreadsheet calculator that is used to compute the infiltration that occurs at roadside swales. Information on annual precipitation, road width, width from the road to the swale bottom and an estimate of saturated hydraulic conductivity are needed.

Stormwater BMP Inspection and Maintenance Resource Guide (link): The revised Stormwater BMP Inspection and Maintenance Resource Guide provides updated recommendations for traditional stormwater practices and presents new, innovative strategies to manage runoff. Additionally, the new guide contains a chapter on how to best meet stormwater management objectives based on targeted pollutants.
