Evaluation of the Multi-Chambered Treatment Train, a Retrofit Water-Quality Management Device

By Steven R. Corsi 1 , Steven R. Greb2 , Roger T. Bannerman2 , and Robert E. Pitt3

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an evalua­ tion of the benefits and efficiencies of a device called the Multi-Chambered Treatment Train (MCTT), which was installed below the pavement surface at a municipal maintenance garage and park­ ing facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Flow- weighted water samples were collected at the inlet and outlet of the device during 15 storms, and the efficiency of the device was based on reductions in the loads of 68 chemical constituents and organic compounds. High reduction efficiencies were achieved for all particulate-associated constituents, including total suspended solids (98 percent), total phosphorus (88 percent), and total recoverable zinc (91 percent). Reduction rates for dissolved fractions of the constituents were substantial, but somewhat lower (dissolved solids, 13 percent; dissolved phos­ phorus, 78 percent; dissolved zinc, 68 percent). The total dissolved solids load, which originated from roadsalt storage, was more than four times the total suspended solids load. No appreciable difference was detected between particle-size distributions in inflow and outflow samples.

INTRODUCTION

The implementation and installation of water-qual­ ity best management practices (BMP's) in developed urban areas is problematic. A landscape composed of buildings and pavement presents little opportunity for placement of new BMP's. To overcome this obstacle of limited space, new retrofit BMP technologies are emerging that use underground space, and thus do not disrupt current above-ground land uses. One such device, called the Multi-Chambered Treatment Train (MCTT), uses aeration, settling, filtration, sorption, and ion exchange to provide a high level of treatment of stormwater runoff (Pitt and others, 1997). Underground retrofitted BMP's have two additional advantages. First, they are effective at targeting source areas that generate

large pollutant loads, such as maintenance yards and busy parking lots. Second, they provide a viable alterna­ tive where space limitations preclude the use of larger open BMP's such as wet detention ponds.

As part of an ongoing program of urban water- quality research in Wisconsin, the U.S. Geological Sur­ vey (USGS), in cooperation with the Wisconsin Depart­ ment of Natural Resources, evaluated the water-quality benefits of a newly constructed MCTT. The primary objective of this project was to design and install a MCTT at a municipal maintenance yard and measure the pollutant reduction achieved by this device. The purpose of this project was to provide Wisconsin's urban land managers with additional information about the MCTT with which to make decisions on the imple­ mentation of BMP's.

Purpose and Scope

This report describes the methods of the Milwau­ kee MCTT study and presents the results of the USGS and WDNR evaluation. Detailed data on selected water- quality properties and constituents, including concen­ trations, loads, toxicities, and efficiencies of removal by the MCTT, are listed in appendixes.

STUDY DESCRIPTION

Design of the Multi-Chambered Treatment Train

The MCTT consists of three components: a grit chamber, a settling chamber, and a filter media chamber (fig. 1). The 1.22-m-diameter grit chamber or catch basin removes the larger sized particles in runoff from the contributing area. In addition, a mesh bag of column packing balls suspended in the grit chamber enhances aeration and removal of highly volatile components (this component was not used for the MCTT in this project). The second chamber, where most of the set­ tling takes place, contains inclined tube settlers that increase removal of solids by reducing the distance that particles must fall. The modular tubes are slanted at 60 degrees, so particles are not required to fall the full depth of the tank. As the water flows through the tubes, particles settle on the tube walls. Eventually, built-up material on the tube walls sloughs off and collects in the bottom of the tank, where it is periodically pumped out. The chamber also contains absorbent pillows that remove floatable hydrocarbons. Stormwater fills the tank and then slowly drains to the final chamber by way of a 0.9-cm orifice. This restricted outlet increases

x

water-retention time in the settling tank (24 hours when filled completely) and enhances the particle settling. The third chamber, called the filter media chamber, con­

tains a mixed media of sand, peat, and activated carbon supported by filter fabric and is designed to remove fine particles, along with some dissolved constituents by means of sorption and ion exchange. Water exits this chamber through a perforated pipe underlying the filter media and flows directly into the existing storm sewer.

The second and third chambers at the study site were constructed from a single partitioned concrete box (3.0 m wide x 4.6 m long x 1.5 m high). The capacity of the settling chamber is 21 m3 , although the height of the

o

orifice results in a dead-storage capacity of 10.5 m , leaving the actual storm-volume capacity at 10.5 m3 . Once this capacity is reached, any additional water backs up on the parking-lot surface, eventually spilling over to an adjacent storm-sewer inlet.

Manhole covers were placed in the top of the set­ tling and filter media chambers for access and mainte­ nance purposes. According to design and operation specifications, the unit should be inspected every 6 months to ensure all chambers are operational. The maintenance requirements are somewhat site specific, although the catch basin and settling chambers should be cleaned every 6-12 months and the filter media should be replaced every 3-5 years.

Site Description

The site chosen for this project was a municipal maintenance garage and parking facility in Milwaukee,

Wis. The site is used heavily by garbage trucks, plows, and other large road equipment. The garage, originally built in 1948, is surrounded by a large parking area composed mainly of aged asphalt with some concrete pavement. Given the nature of the parking lot's activi­ ties, it is common for oily deposits, yard waste, sand, and salt to accumulate on the pavement surface. Runoff water from the parking area drains into the storm-sewer system through several storm grates/catch-basin inlets. The MCTT device was installed below the pavement surface and placed in line between one of the catch basins and the existing storm-sewer pipe. Because of the finite capacity of the MCTT and the slow draining of the settling chamber, the unit was expected to become surcharged when rainfalls exceeded 1.26 cm, but an overestimation of the runoff area draining to the MCTT led to an overdesign of the device. Conse­ quently, the device can actually hold water from a 2.5 cm rainfall without being surcharged (the surface

r*

area draining to this device is approximately 426 m ).

Sampling Design

The evaluation of the installed MCTT device was based on results of chemical analyses of flow-weighted samples collected during 15 storms at two locations, the inlet and outlet of the device.

The 15 storms (events) were monitored as three separate groups. The first group consisted of four con­ secutive events, the second was five consecutive events, and the third was six consecutive events. This was done for two reasons: first, because the settling tank has some permanent storage, monitoring individual events would not allow for direct comparison of influent and effluent from the same event, and second, technical difficulties two times during the monitoring period prevented the sampling of 15 consecutive events.

Flow into the device was calculated from velocity measurements in the inlet pipe. Flow out of the settling chamber was calculated from water-level measure­ ments in the settling chamber. Outlet flow was assumed to be equal to flow out of the settling chamber.The influ­ ent (inlet) sample was collected from a creased flat plate mounted below the storm grate. The effluent (outlet) sample was collected from the perforated pipe draining the filter-media chamber. The 15 flow-weighted sam­ ples were collected by automated sampling equipment. Two refrigerated samplers equipped with peristaltic pumps and Teflon-lined sample tubing collected the

influent and effluent samples in four 10-L glass jars. Composite samples were processed for analysis only if at least two subsamples were collected during increas­ ing flow, two subsamples during decreasing flow, and one near the peak flow. Samples were transported to the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH), where they were analyzed for a total of 68 constituents, including solids, nutrients, trace metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's). All constituents tested at the WSLH, along with their abbreviations, detection limits, and method used, are listed in tables 1 and 2. The Microtox toxicity screening procedure (Azur Environ­ mental Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.) was performed on all 15 influent and effluent samples. This rapid procedure involves a marine bioluminescence bacteria (Vibrio fis- cheri)', samples having greater toxicity are indicated by less light output. Particle-size analysis was performed on all samples using a Coulter Counter Multisizer II (Beckman Coulter Inc., Fullerton, Calif). Both Micro­ tox and particle-size analysis were done at the Univer­ sity of Alabama, Birmingham, Environmental Engineering Laboratory. Loads were computed as the product of the event-mean concentration and total stormflow volume, thus the removal performance of the device was measured by comparing differences in con­ stituent mass into and out of the device. All computa­ tions and statistical analyses were done with SAS statistical software (1988).

EVALUATION OF MULTI-CHAMBERED TREATMENT TRAIN EFFICIENCY

Water Quantity

Fifteen storms, occurring from April 29 through September 8,1996, were monitored and sampled. Rain­ fall amounts for these storms ranged from 0.45 to 3.48 cm. Calculations based on the delineated drainage area indicate that total stormwater volumes for the storms ranged from 1.96 to 14.9 m3 . The actual quantity of water passing through the MCTT was 1.72 to 9.10 m3 . None of the storms resulted in surcharge of the MCTT. On average, 87 percent of the rainfall resulted in direct runoff to the MCTT. The remaining rainfall volume may have been lost in interception storage, through cracks in the aged pavement surface, or through joint leaks between the grit chamber and the main settling chamber.

Compared to historical precipitation records, the depths of rainfall for these 15 storms were larger than average (fig. 2). This may be due to the short period that the MCTT was monitored, which included mainly warm weather rainstorms. The historical record includes precipitation from the entire year (from intense summer thunderstorms, long duration fall and spring rainfall, and snowfall). Long-term records (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1997) show only 20 percent of Milwaukee storms are greater than 1.3 cm in precipitation, whereas during the period of study, approximately half of the storms were greater than 1.3 cm. Therefore, in terms of rainfall amounts, the study- period events may be considered a rigorous test of the system. The fact that none of the storm-runoff amounts exceeded the design capacity, even though the largest amounts were expected to, was due to inaccurate delin­ eation of the drainage area at the design phase and resultant overdesign of the unit.

Concentration Summary Statistics

Summaries of the inorganic and organic concentra­ tion data for the inflow and outflow samples are given

in tables 3 and 4 and in appendix 1, and a summary of the load data and removal efficiencies of the MCTT is given in appendix 2. All samples were collected on a volume-weighted basis; hence, the concentrations reported here are event-mean concentrations. The con­ stituent concentrations in the runoff entering the unit were characteristic of stormwater quality found in pre­ vious studies (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1983; Ellis, 1986; Bannerman and others, 1983, 1993, 1996). The data sets were tested for normality/ log-nor­ mality using the Shapiro-Wilk statistic (SAS, 1988). This procedure produces a test statistic for the null hypothesis that the input data values are a random sam­ ple from a normal or transformed-normal distribution. In general, inorganic as well as organic constituent con­ centrations were found to be log-normally distributed. Of the 68 constituents measured in the influent, 21 were normally distributed and 47 were log-normally distrib­ uted (a <0.05). This test should be interpreted with cau­ tion, however, because of its low power when applied to the sample size of 10-15 observations. The log-normal distributions are consistent with the findings of others (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1983; DiToro, 1984).

Influent samples generally had detectable concen­ trations of most constituents tested. The exception was dissolved zinc (Zn) and the dissolved fractions of 15 of the 16 PAH's, which rarely were detectable. The one dissolved PAH that was consistently measurable in the influent was phenanthrene (median = 0.1 fig/L).

In the effluent water, all dissolved and total PAH concentrations were below detection limits. In addition, total suspended solids (TSS), volatile suspended solids (VSS), dissolved cadmium (Cd), dissolved lead (Pb), dissolved Zn and total Zn were generally below detec­ tion limits in the effluent samples. The preponderance of nondetectable values in effluent samples made the determination of normality problematic. Having efflu­ ent values reported as "less than" for a constituent also made the exact calculation of removal efficiencies impossible. In those cases, removal efficiencies were estimated using one half of the detection limit as the concentration of the effluent.

The nonparametric two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test (SAS, 1988) was applied to the influent and effluent concentrations of all constituents, the null hypothesis being that the distributions of the influent and effluent concentrations are the same. Constituents with signifi­

cant differences (a=0.05) are noted in tables 3 and 4. A paired statistical test comparing individual storms was not used because, during any given storm, the water exiting the device will not be the same water that entered the device because of the permanent storage volume and hydraulic residence time in the settling tank. Influent and effluent concentrations of constitu­ ents that were not found to be significantly different were either soluble constituents that are generally con­ sidered conservative (for example, chloride) or constit­ uents that have the potential to be generated within the tank (for example, ammonia). Because influent and effluent concentrations of some constituents (for exam­ ple, dissolved PAH's) frequently were below detection limits, significant changes in concentrations were inde­ terminable.

Water-Quality Characteristics

Concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS) in influent ranged widely, from 79 to 1,050 mg/L; median concentration was 232 mg/L (table 3, appendix 1). As stated previously, most of the effluent TSS concentra-

Digestion of samples for total analysis resulted in higher detection limits. In addition, detection limits varied during the period of study. Bold font identifies constituents in which influent concentrations are significant­ ly different (a=0.05) from effluent concentrations using a nonparametric two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

dons were below detection limit (8 out of 14). The high­ est concentration of TSS observed in the effluent was only 18 mg/L. Because most effluent TSS values were below detection limit, it was difficult to determine if any discernible relation existed between influent and efflu­ ent concentrations. The influent TSS concentrations from all 15 storms exceeded Wisconsin's discharge limit of 30 mg/L (Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 210, 1997). The cumulative load of TSS to the unit for the 15 consecutive storms was 18.3 kg (appendix 2). The amount of TSS in the effluent was estimated to be only 0.30 kg, making the overall removal efficiency greater than 98 percent. Pitt and others (1997) reported a lower overall TSS removal of 83 percent in their pilot- scale testing. In examining concentrations at intermedi­ ate points, they found that most of the TSS was removed in the settling chamber.

Influent volatile suspended solids (VSS) ranged from 17 to 154 mg/L; median concentration was 52 mg/L. The VSS concentrations averaged 21 percent of TSS in the influent, an indication that most of the par- ticulate material entering the unit was inorganic. On a cumulative mass basis, the VSS influent load was 17 percent of the influent TSS load. Effluent VSS con­ centrations ranged from less than 5 to 12 mg/L; 58 per­ cent of the samples were below the detection limit. The overall load reduction of VSS (> 94 percent) was simi­ lar to that for TSS. The influent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentrations ranged from 8.8 to 51 mg/L. Only one sample had a BOD concentration that would exceed the Wisconsin discharge limit of 30 mg/L (Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 210, 1997). Again, most BOD in effluent samples (58 percent) was below the detection limit. The estimate of overall removal efficiency for BOD was 82 percent or greater. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) influent and effluent concentrations (median = 115 and 13, respec­ tively) were considerably greater than the BOD concen­ trations. Influent VSS concentrations were well correlated with both BOD and COD concentrations (r = 0.62 and 0.82, respectively), confirming the organic nature of this solid material. The average ratio of BOD to COD was 0.15 in the influent, suggesting that this organic material was highly refractory. The unit removed 86 percent of the total COD load.

Total dissolved solids (TDS) in influent samples had a median concentration of 634 mg/L and a range of 164 to 5,930 mg/L. The source of the high dissolved solids in samples collected during the middle of the study period was road salt stored within the drainage

area. This salt resulted in a load of dissolved solids to the unit that was more than 4.5 times the paniculate (suspended solids) load for the period of study. The rel­ ative loads of the three aggregate solids characteristics are illustrated in figure 3. (Note that the y-axis is plotted on a log scale.)

Major Ions

Total calcium (Ca) had the greatest influent con­ centrations (median = 43 mg/L) of the reported cations (table 3, appendix 1). Though not directly measured, the ionic balance and high chloride concentrations suggest that sodium and/or potassium were most likely the dom­ inant cations. Dissolved Ca concentrations generally made up half of the total Ca in the influent. Total mag­ nesium (Mg) concentrations followed a similar storm- to-storm pattern as total calcium concentrations, but at about one-third the concentration (median = 14 mg/L). Dissolved Mg generally made up only 10 percent of the total Mg in the influent.

In effluent, total Ca concentrations were always less than those in the influent, although the median val­ ues differed by only 4.5 mg/L. Somewhat surprisingly, the dissolved Ca concentrations in the effluent were consistently greater than the influent concentrations, suggesting either dissolution of some of the influent paniculate Ca and (or) addition of Ca ions to the storm- water from the unit itself (that is, concrete walls of the catch basin and main tank). Magnesium behaved simi­ larly, with dissolved Mg concentrations in effluent greater than those in influent. On a load basis, the unit removed 55 and 85 percent of the total Ca and Mg, respectively (appendix 2). The increase in dissolved Ca and Mg concentrations resulted in negative efficiencies for these analytes (-62 and -340, respectively). The effluent loads of both dissolved Ca and Mg were equal to their respective total loads, implying that the Ca and Mg leaving the unit was virtually all in the dissolved phase.

Chloride (Cl) was by far the dominant anion in all the samples (median influent and effluent = 302 and 427 mg/L, respectively). Again, this was a result of road salt being stored within the drainage area during the study period. Both influent and effluent concentrations during the 15 storms are shown in figure 4. Placement of the road salt on site occurred between the fourth and fifth storms, and this is clearly evident in the sharp increase in Cl concentrations in figure 4. Peak effluent

concentration, however, was substantially less than the peak influent concentration. This attenuation of maxi­ mum effluent concentrations was due to dilution of the influent waters with previously stored water in the set­ tling tank. Although Cl is generally considered to be a conservative constituent, the difference between influ­ ent and effluent loads of 20 percent suggests that the unit did remove a portion of the Cl.

Alkalinity concentrations were considerably less than Cl concentrations (median influent and effluent concentrations = 40 and 82 mg/L, respectively). On an equivalence basis, alkalinity (as bicarbonate) closely tracked Ca concentrations and increased as the water passed through the unit, again pointing to an addi­ tion/dissolution of calcium carbonate in the unit.

cent) was somewhat greater than that for NO3 , although the rate decreased over the study period because of a steady rise in effluent concentrations over the last five storms (fig. 5). This rise of ammonium concentrations in effluent indicates that the settling-chamber contents may become anaerobic as sediments begin to accumu­ late and reduced species are subsequently released within the unit.

Influent total phosphorus (P) ranged from 0.10 to 0.44 mg/L; the median was 0.26 mg/L. Effluent concen­ trations were generally an order of magnitude less than influent concentrations (median = 0.02 mg/L), resulting in a high overall removal efficiency of 88 percent. Dis­ solved P was consistently less than 10 percent of the total P in the influent and the effluent samples. Dis­ solved P removal efficiency (78 percent), although somewhat less than total P removal, was still substan­ tial.

The median nitrate (NO3 ) concentrations in the influent and effluent were 0.35 and 0.27 mg/L, respec­ tively (table 3). Removal efficiency of this mobile nitro­ gen species was 32 percent (appendix 2). Ammonium (NH4 ) concentrations were often considerably less than NO3 concentrations in the influent and the effluent (appendix 1). The removal rate for ammonium (47 per-

Metals

Influent metals concentrations were characteristic of values previously observed in stormwater runoff in Wisconsin (Bannerman and others, 1996). Median total recoverable metal concentrations, in increasing order,

were Cd (1.5 (ig/L), Cr (6 (ig/L), Cu (32 (ig/L), Pb (48 |ig/L), and Zn (150 (ig/L) (table 3). The total recov­ erable metal concentrations in effluent followed a simi­ lar order of increasing concentration, except that lead and copper were reversed (appendix 1). Concentrations of all total recoverable metals in effluent were generally an order of magnitude less than concentrations in influ­ ent. A comparison of total recoverable metals concen­ trations in influent to Wisconsin acute toxicity criteria for warmwater sport fisheries (Wisconsin Admininstra- tive Code, NR105, 1997) showed that Cu exceeded the criteria in 15 of 15 samples, Pb in 7 of 15 samples, and Zn in 14 of 15 samples. In contrast, no total recoverable metal concentrations in effluent exceeded metal-toxic - ity criteria.

Removal efficiencies of the MCTT were substan­ tial for all the total recoverable metals, ranging from 78 percent for Cr to 96 percent for Pb (appendix 2). Because most of the total recoverable metal concentra­ tions were in the particulate form, the physical removal of particulates may be occurring in all three chambers of the unit, although the bulk of the particulates (associ­ ated with the suspended solids) was most likely being removed in the settling chamber. MCTT performance data collected by Pitt and others (1997) for TSS and unfiltered metals also suggests this, although for Cd and Cu, efficiencies were substantially less than those for the unit used in this study. This difference may have been due to several factors, such as a different mixture of filter media, the different concentration ranges of Cd and Cu, and differences in the proportion of these met­ als in the dissolved form, which are less effectively removed than those in particulate form.

Concentrations of dissolved metals in the influent to the MCTT followed the order of Cd < Cr < Pb < Cu < Zn. The concentrations in effluent appeared to follow a similar order, although a full characterization of met­ als concentrations is again difficult because of many below detection limit. With the exception of Cr, removal efficiencies of dissolved metals ranged from 66 to 78 percent, somewhat less than their respective total metal removals efficiencies (appendix 2). Because con­ centrations in effluent were generally found below detection limits, actual removals may have been greater, especially for Cd, Pb, and Zn. The order of removal effi­ ciencies of dissolved metals was Cr < Cd < Zn < Cu <Pb. The removal of the dissolved phase of these metals most likely occurred in the sand/peat/carbon filter chamber. A similar order of "affinity" in peat materials was noted by Pakarinen and others (1981) for Cu, Pb,

and Zn. They did not describe Cd and Cr affinities. Dis­ solved chromium, which has a higher valence and requires time to reach exchange equilibrium, had virtu­ ally no removal efficiency (-3.3 percent) (Aho and Tummavuori, 1984).

Although the concentrations of metals generally were greatly reduced by the treatment of the MCTT, the proportion of metal in the dissolved phase generally increased. In the influent samples, the average ratio of dissolved metal to total metal concentrations ranged from 3 percent for Pb to 19 percent for Cu. In the efflu­ ent samples, the proportion of the dissolved phase in the total recoverable metal was higher ranging from 20 per­ cent for Cd to 80 percent for Cr.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Detectable concentrations of 12 of the 16 total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) species were typically found in influent samples to the MCTT (table 4, appendix 1). The four species that were below detection limits in more than 50 percent of the samples were total acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, and naphthalene. Concentrations of total fluoranthene and pyrene were consistently double or more than the con­ centrations of other PAH species, with median concen­ trations of 1.8 and 1.4 jag/L, respectively. The sum of total PAH concentrations for all 16 species (2 total PAH) in the influent samples ranged from 2.9 to 23 |ig/L. The median 2 total PAH concentration was 8.3 M-g/L, considerably less than what was reported by Steuer and others (1997) for parking lots. All of the 15 influent samples exceeded the Wisconsin human cancer criterion of 0.1 (ig/L (Wisconsin Administrative Code, NR105,1997) for the class of streams draining this area. This criterion is based on dermal contact and the con­ sumption of warmwater sport fish taken from these waters.

In the influent, the 2 dissolved PAH averaged 14 percent of the 2 total PAH. The average percentage may be less because the dissolved fractions were com­ monly reported as less than detection limits, and actual concentrations are unknown. The only dissolved PAH species in the influent that was consistently reported above the detection limit was phenanthrene (median=0.1 (ig/L). The dissolved PAH concentrations were also consistently above the Wisconsin human can­ cer criterion of 0.1 (ig/L.

Little interpretation can be made from the effluent PAH data because, without exception, all values were reported as less than the detection limit. Consequently, all PAH removal efficiencies are conservative estimates of actual removal rates. Efficiencies of individual total PAH's ranged from >53 percent for total fluorene to >98 percent for total phenanthrene, and for 11 of the total PAH's, efficiencies were 90 percent (appendix 2). The removal efficiencies of the dissolved PAH fractions ranged from >22 percent (dibenzanthracene) to >86 percent (phenanthrene) and were consistently lower than the removal efficiencies for total PAH's. This finding does not necessarily suggest a lower removal efficiency of dissolved PAH fractions; the lower efficiencies may be an artifact due to a preponder­ ance of "less-than" values or concentrations approach­ ing the detection limit.

Because most of the PAH's were found in the par- ticulate fraction, most of the removal probably occurred in the settling chamber, consistent with the findings of Pitt and others (1997). In addition, peat materials, such as those found in the filter chamber, have been shown to be effective in removing oily material (Mathavan and Viraraghavan, 1989).

Microtox Results

Microtox-assay results, reported as gamma values, are computed as the amount of light lost from exposed fluorescent bacteria (as compared to a laboratory con­ trol) divided by the amount of light remaining. The larger the value of gamma, the greater the detrimental effect the sample has on the test microbes. Influent- sample gamma values from 15-minute assays ranged from 0.02 to 0.49; the median was 0.12 (appendix 3). In contrast, all effluent samples yielded negative gamma values (median = -0.17), suggesting that the effluent water was a better medium for microbial growth than the laboratory control water. Without exception, Micro­ tox gamma values were less in effluent samples than influent samples, a strong indication that toxicity was reduced by MCTT treatment. There was however, little indication of any simple relation (linear regression) between Microtox gamma values for influent and con­ centrations of any single constituent.

Particle-Size Distribution

The particle-size data were summarized by averag­ ing the 15 influent and effluent cumulative distributions of those data (fig. 6). Each trace on this plot represents the average percentage of particles less than the given size for each measured particle-size fraction. Most influent and effluent particles were in the silt-size frac­ tion. Somewhat surprising was the fact that no apprecia­ ble shift in the particle-size distribution was observed between the influent and effluent particle sizes. One might expect a selective removal of the larger particles and subsequent decrease in the average particle size as the water passed through the filter media. The findings here, however, suggest that the mean particle size, or D50, actually increased from 18 jim in the influent water to 28 Jim in the treated effluent water; thus, the unit may not have been selective in the size of particles it removed. Another possibility is that large particulate materials were indeed removed in the settling chamber, but escaped sand fines from the filter media were later reintroduced. Because no samples were collected between the settling and filter chambers, the proportion of the suspended-solids treatment that can be attributed to each section of the unit cannot be determined. Another indication that the filter chamber can poten­ tially lose particles is reported by Pitt and others (1997), who noted a slight increase in TSS concentrations as the water passed through the filter tank of their pilot-scale unit. Therefore, the unit may be selectively removing larger particles but, coincidently, may be adding similar particles from the filter-media material, resulting in lit­ tle change in the distributions. It is emphasized, how­ ever, that even though the particle-size distribution influent remained similar, the overall removal rate of the particulate material by the unit was 98 percent of the influent suspended-solids load.

SUMMARY

The MCTT treated all the stormwater that drained to the unit for the 15 storms monitored. The actual quan­ tity of water passing through the MCTT ranged from 1.7 to 8.9 m3 for individual storms and was, on average, 87 percent of the rainfall volume. High reduction effi­ ciencies were found for all particulate-associated con­ stituents, such as TSS (98 percent), total P (88 percent), and total Zn (91 percent). Dissolved fractions were removed at substantial but somewhat lower rates (TDS, 13 percent; dissolved P, 78 percent; dissolved Zn,

68 percent). The TDS load, which was composed mainly of road salt, was four times the load of TSS. Increases of Ca, Mg, and alkalinity were attributed to dissolution or leaching of the cement from the MCTT tanks. In addition, NH4 began to rise slowly over the lat­ ter part of the study, presumably because of aneaerobic sediment buildup in the settling chamber. No apprecia­ ble shift was seen between influent and effluent parti­ cle-size distribution.
