This paper focuses on specific information needed to model various aspects of the pollutant retention processes in stormwater biofilters. Updates currently being incorporated in WinSLAMM (Source Loading and Management Model) are building on expanded data from laboratory and field research mostly conducted by Pitt’s research group at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, by Dr. Shirley Clark’s research group at Penn State–Harrisburg, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Geological Survey (DNR/USGS). These processes and data can be used in manual calculations or other models. Extensive summaries of these data sources and associated statistical analyses, plus additional references, are included in an online white paper available at the PV & Assoc. website. These tests were conducted to provide the details needed for modeling the performance of biofilters, specifically focusing on: methods to predict treatment flow rates through the media; particulate and associated particulate bound pollutant retention for several particle sizes; maintenance requirements due to sediment clogging and pollutant breakthrough; and retention of filterable pollutants. This multiyear research program also examined issues not commonly described in the biofilter performance literature, such as failure due to excessive salt loadings on media having large amounts of fines, problems associated with compaction of the media, and leaching of previously captured material from the media.

Previous analysis of pressure and velocity data collected at a site experiencing stormwater geysers suggested a mechanism for the occurrence. Laboratory experiments attempting to reproduce the geysers were promising but inconclusive due to potential scale effects in the small scale experiments. Subsequent researchers have generally used this early work as the starting point for subsequent laboratory experiments. Over the years, a number of videos of geysers in actual systems have been obtained and a review of important features from these videos calls into question certain aspects of the original hypothesis. An alternative explanation for the phenomenon has been developed and an experimental system has been identified that may help resolve some questions. However, laboratory experiments may also be impacted by scale effects and several preliminary studies must be conducted to determine whether there is a fruitful path forward in advancing our knowledge of this phenomenon.
