Stormwater media filters are used to treat a variety of pollutants at different source areas. These can range from being as simple rain gardens or biofilters containing soils or special media, to proprietary devices. Historically, sand filters and sand-peat filters were some of the earliest filters used for stormwater control. Austin (1988), Galli (1990), Shaver (1994, Claytor and Schuler (1996), and Urbonas (1999) all include descriptions and performance information for these fundamental stormwater filtration systems. These filters have been used to treat a variety of conventional stormwater pollutants, mostly focusing on suspended solids and nutrients. Continued research has examined additional media and expanded our understanding of stormwater media filters. Clark and Pitt (1999) include an extensive review of different media, designs, and expected performance. A large number of proprietary stormwater filters are also now available and usually include cartridges of specialized media that can target specific classes of stormwater contaminants. Descriptions of many of these devices have been described at technical conferences, especially the annual StormCon conference (http://www.stormcon.com/) where venders have extensive exhibits showcasing these filters. The International BMP Database has much data describing actual field performance for a wide range of stormwater filters (http://www.bmpdatabase.org/).

Lake Tuscaloosa, an artificial impoundment that serves as a public water supply, is located in Tuscaloosa and Fayette counties in the State of Alabama, in the Southeastern United States. Recent studies and monitoring of the lake show high levels of E.coli bacteria in the upper parts of the lake (near the main stream entrances) during periods of high stream flow. These high levels of E.coli are a concern for many different interested parties in the area. The city is under pressure to strengthen its management, monitoring, and control of existing and future pollutant sources (mostly land development) around the lake that is in its jurisdiction. Additionally, the city has to consider other sources of bacteria in the watershed outside of its jurisdiction as potential causes of these elevated bacteria levels.The decision analysis framework and modeling schemes developed as part of this research examine flow, E.coli sources and transport issues, along with potential solutions. The decision analysis framework assisted at different stages of the project during the collection and management of the information that helped in the analysis of the problems and solutions. The flow and E.coli watershed models assisted in the analysis of the available data for the watershed to identify locations, seasons, and flow ranges

“…This decision analysis method is a powerful tool that can be used to compare the rankings of alternative integrated watershed management programs for different viewpoints and for welldocumenting the selection process. Pitt and Voorhees (2007) illustrate how this process can be used for comparing and ranking different wet weather flow management alternatives in conjunction with the batch processor option of WinSLAMM.…”
