Abstract
At the request of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Control (DNREC), the Water Resources Agency (WRA), a unit of the University of
Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration, developed a process to quantify load
reductions achieved through stormwater-control structures (best management practices,
or BMPs) for selected pollutant parameters in the Delaware portion of the Christina
Basin. This report summarizes the scope of the project and outlines the methodology,
analysis, and implications.
