Meade Gunnell utilizes SEDCAD computer model techniques for sediment removals to estimate TSS removal. Therefore, our storm water designs can be customized even beyond the BMPs noted above.
One alternative to BMP design is a Biorention Area (sometimes referred to as Rain Gardens) which can be considered as an alternate retention facilities for treatment of low run-off flow rates. Typically they are designed to mimic forested BMPs that naturally control hydrology through infiltration and evapotranspiration. Attached is a typical plan and design information for bioretention water quality treatment and Skimmer Systems that could be used in the mining industry.
