Given the significant expected cost associated with nutrient and FSP load reductions needed in the Tahoe Basin, and the fact that this effort will occur over a decadal timeframe (Lahontan and NDEP 2008), it is relevant to examine the characteristics of urban runoff water treatment associated with fine sediment particles and other important water quality characteristics, such as turbidity, total and size fractionated suspended solids and phosphorus loading. This information will be needed for improved management models and to determine the effectiveness of fine sediment removal by processes and unit operations that target this removal in different types of BMPs.
