Structural BMP definition

Structural BMP means any structural facility designed and constructed to mitigate the adverse impacts of storm water and urban runoff pollution (e.g. canopy, structural enclosure). The category may include both Treatment Control BMPs and Source Control BMPs.
Structural BMP s” means facilities that are constructed to provide control of stormwater runoff.
Structural BMP means a practice that must be built to provide treatment of storm water either through storage, filtration, or infiltration. Examples include extended detention basins, bioretention cells, sand filters, vegetated filter strips, water quality swales, infiltration trenches, “Table 2 BMPs”, and manufactured systems.

Examples of Structural BMP in a sentence

  • Structural BMP includes physical practices such as constructed wetlands, vegetative practices, filter strips, grassed swales, and other methods installed or created on real property.

  • Structural BMP means any structural facility designed and constructed to mitigate the adverse impacts of storm water and urban runoff pollution (e.g. canopy, structural enclosure).

  • Structural BMP facilities shall be located and designed to not cause flooding and nuisance impacts to downstream properties.

  • The construction of Structural BMP facilities can require excavation to obtain sufficient storage volume.

  • Models to be considered for the RAA, without exclusion, are the Watershed Management Modeling System (WMMS), Hydrologic Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF), and the Structural BMP Prioritization and Analysis Tool (SBPAT).


More Definitions of Structural BMP

Structural BMP means a subset of best management practices (BMP’s) which detains, retains, filters, removes, or prevents the release of pollutants and control runoff discharge rates to surface waters from development projects in perpetuity, after construction of a project is completed. These BMP’s can satisfy the requirements for Pollutant Control BMP’s and Hydromodification BMP requirements for Priority Development Projects.
Structural BMP means a facility constructed or used to control, treat, store, divert, neutralize, or dispose of runoff in order to reduce Pollutants.
Structural BMP means a BMP that relies on either a physical condition, other than an entirely natural and undisturbed condition, or on a constructed or installed device to reduce or prevent pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges. Constructed or enhanced BMPs that depend on natural materials and processes (e.g., constructed drainage swales or buffers, or constructed wetlands) and that require periodic maintenance to function as designed, are structural BMPs. Structural BMPs in place in connection with a land development or redevelopment project to prevent or reduce contamination in storm water and receiving waters, or to prevent or reduce erosion downstream from the project.
Structural BMP s" means devices that are constructed to provide control of stormwater runoff.
Structural BMP. – Structural BMP means any structural facility designed and constructed to mitigate the adverse impacts of storm water and urban runoff pollution (e.g. canopy, structural enclosure).
