Suspended solids removal through the ATSTM has been typically been about 50% when influent TSS are less than 15 mg/L . Quite often laboratory data is reflected as <5 mg/L which is reported as the limit of detection . 50% reduction is a reasonable projection.

The removal rates in terms of nutrients and solids through such a wetland/pond system is comparatively modest. At the Egret Marsh Stormwater Park, the ATSTM is followed by a wetland\pond system , which over nine months has provided an average removal rate of 5 g/m2 -yr for TP and 25 g/m2-yr for TN . These removals are reflected in the loading and load reduction table included as part of this application. DEP Agreement No. G0353 , Attachment A- 1 , Page 13 of 14
