Abstract:
Structural best management practices (BMPs) are often used to mitigate the impact of storm water runoff on receiving waters. Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are an example of a structural BMP that has been used to treat storm water and highway runoff. In this study (the first in Iran), field-quality data were collected from a native VFS treating urban runoff in North of Tehran. At first field data were used to test the design concepts of the VFS treatment train and to modify and calibrate simulation model for evaluating the impact of physical factors such as slope, type of vegetation and impermeable surface on sediment removal then more field data were used to evaluate and modify the simulation model. It was concluded that the largest proportion of impermeable area to VFS at over 75% removal of TSS is 57%
