Notes
09/20/2017 11:13 AM Matt Driscoll Management Implications:
• The Database in its current version is available to support data collection, management and reporting for the Tahoe Regional Storm Water Monitoring Program (RSWMP).
• The purpose of the Tahoe Stormwater and BMP Database is to guide the collection of consistent and reliable information on stormwater runoff characteristics and treatment best management practice (BMP) performance around the Tahoe Basin. As existing information and new data are uploaded into the database, it will support the continued development, calibration and testing of load reduction models and other stormwater management tools, and it will provide a framework needed for tracking stormwater BMP implementation, monitoring results, and maintenance activities.
09/20/2017 11:12 AM Matt Driscoll Findings:
• A centralized system was created for accessing and analyzing existing data.
• Guidance has been provided (in this document and appendices) for reporting relevant Treatment BMP design information.
• Consistent formats have been developed for reporting stormwater runoff and Treatment BMP data.
• Requirements have been clarified for reporting drainage area characteristics and conditions.
09/20/2017 11:12 AM Matt Driscoll Objectives:
The goal of the Tahoe Stormwater and BMP Performance Database (Database) is to provide a consistent data entry and storage system that can assist in the planning and implementation of stormwater projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The following are objectives of the Database:
• Compile Tahoe stormwater and Treatment BMP data in a centralized, internet accessible location.
• Organize stormwater and Treatment BMP data in a consistent manner to allow for data integration and data analysis across multiple studies, locations, and Treatment BMP types.
• Provide a structure that enables evaluations of Treatment BMP performance relative to key design parameters, drainage area conditions, maintenance activities, and influent water quality over time.
• Streamline routines for data upload and retrieval.
• Build upon existing efforts by focusing on the current Lake Tahoe pollutants of concern and Treatment BMP types employed, but provide a flexible framework so additional pollutants and Treatment BMP types can be added in the future.
