1 Jim Bachhuber PH Earth Tech Module 5h: City Wide Application of WinSLAMM

2 City-Wide WinSLAMM Application Purpose:  Establish “Base” or “No Controls” Urban Pollution Loads  Analyze the Effect of Existing BMPs on the “Base” Load  Identify High Priority Areas to Focus Management  Determine Cost Effective Best Management Practices

3 City-Wide WinSLAMM Application Example: Racine, WI Challenge:  Population: 81,800  City Area: 16 square miles  Outfalls: 97  Subbasins: 245

4 City-Wide WinSLAMM Application Example: Racine, WI Choice #1:  Create a “*.dat” file for each of the 245 subbasins Example of one subbasin:

5 City-Wide WinSLAMM Application Or… swales curb & gutter sweep 1/wk sweep 2/yr sandy clayey Land Use

6 City-Wide WinSLAMM Application Choice #2: Create Unit Area Loading Database with 4 variables: 1.Land use (26 combinations of LU & roof connections) 2.Soils (2) 3.Drainage Type (2) 4.Management Practices (15 combinations) 1,560 Potential Combinations

7 Conducting Pollution Loading Analysis on Entire City – Racine, WI 750 Unit area loading database

8 Racine GIS Example Land Use Coverage

9 Racine GIS Example Soils Coverage (Hydrologic Groups)

10 Racine GIS Example Land Use Soils Polygons of Combined Conditions Drainage BMPs

11 Racine GIS Example Drainage Areas & Subbasins

12 Racine GIS Example Subbasins Pollutant Loading / Subbasin Polygons of Combined Conditions

13 TSS = TS (SLU file: ABC01) * (ABC01 Area within Subbasin LP3A) /100/43560

14 Racine GIS Example: Results Solids Load by Subbasin Rank Subbasins ID Priority Subbasins

15 Racine GIS Example Identify “Critical” Subbasins

16 Racine GIS Example ID Alternative BMPs
