This stand-alone working document assists scientists and regulators in determining when stormwater runoff causes adverse effects in receiving waters.

This complicated task requires an integrated assessment approach that focuses on sampling before, during and after storms. The Handbook supplies assessment strategies, sample testing and collection methods and also includes illustrative figures and tables.

An introduction to innovative design tailored to address a wide range of environment concerns such as ecological and human health risk assessments, water quality or biological criteria exceedences, use impairment, source identification, trend analysis, determination of best management practices, stormwater quality monitoring for NPDES Phase I and II permits applications and total maximum daily load assessments. Despite the complexity of stormwater management, successful and accurate assessments of their impact are possible by following the integrated approaches described in Stormwater Effects Handbook: A Toolbox for Watershed Managers, Scientists and Engineers.

Includes: Case studies to illustrate the effectiveness of this approach and data that can be compiled Review of emerging technology that hold promise for more effective receiving water evaluation Detailed information on selecting methods and carrying out comprehensive evaluation.
