Stormwater Treatment Media for US Navy Constituents of Interest

Abstract

In response to stormwater runoff contaminant concentrations rising above regulatory limits, the Navy has requested research into innovative media that can treat contaminants of interest from stormwater through passive treatment. Currently copper, zinc, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are the focus of Navy stormwater treatment, and in turn this research. Potential media that can be employed to remove these chemicals are provided, including discussion regarding each medias removal mechanisms and observations from peer reviewed research into what influences their effectiveness. This information will enable the Navy to select the most appropriate and effective media for any installations stormwater.
