A USEPA SWMM Integrated Tool for Determining the Suspended Solids Reduction Performance of Bioretention Cells

A numerical tool was developed Thomas Tiveron, Soheil Gholamreza-Kashi and Darko Joksimovic from Ryerson University to calculate the stormwater runoff total suspended solids (TSS) removal efficiency of bioretention cells to assist engineers in obtaining credit and approval for bioretention cell facilities. The capability of the tool to accurately simulate the TSS reduction performance of the monitored bioretention cell supports its suitability for use in designing bioretention facilities.
