Urban BMP Assessment
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created a new web-based tool to provide stormwater
professionals with easy access to approximately 220 studies which assess the performance of more than 275
stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs). The tool provides access to studies covering a variety of
traditional and low impact BMP types, including retention and detention ponds, biofilters, grassed filter
strips, porous pavement, wetlands, and others. Users will also find a series of essays aimed at improving
understanding of BMP performance and the importance of volume reduction/infiltration in these assessments.
EPA plans to add more studies over the coming year, focusing on expanding the collection of studies of low
impact development or green infrastructure BMPs. The Urban BMP Performance Tool is available online at
