Abstract
The Site Stormwater with Best Management Practices (BMPs) Analysis Calculator was created to be utilized in the State of Missouri for developing or re- developing property. Simplistic and conservative stormwater evaluations utilizing regional stormwater treatment practices for development scenarios with minimal financial investment for stormwater professionals, developers, and municipality officials is not available. In this study, an Excel based analysis calculator was built with practiced stormwater calculations to inform the user of development and redevelopment projects' impacts. Regional stormwater detention and water quality treatment practices are integrated into the calculator providing the user options and estimated costs for mitigating impacts for their proposed development and redevelopment scenarios. The calculator utilizes the precipitation data from all weather stations in the State of Missouri reporting data to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center Precipitation Frequency Data Server (PFDS). The calculator is not intended to replace the need and requirement of stormwater engineering design. Instead, the calculator shall supplement the development and redevelopment discussion and aid in the understanding of potential stormwater impacts and treatment options for all Users regardless their educations and experiences. Scenario results from the Site Stormwater with BMP Analysis Calculator are compared to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National Stormwater Calculator (NSC) and the L-THIA-LID model. Results dissect the calculator's benefits and shortcomings with potential future enhancements.
