CMAC Chesapeake Bay Program Approval Overview

This report (2016) is a summary of Chesapeake Bay Program Approval of CMAC for the Enhancement and Conversion of Existing Best Management Practices. USWG unanimously approved a proposal to credit the Continuous Monitoring and Adaptive Control (CMAC) technique for retrofitting existing stormwater BMPs, pursuant to the previously approved Stormwater Retrofit Expert Panel Report.
The technique utilizes sensors to make real time weather forecasts to make automated decisions to actively manage stormwater storage and flows within existing stormwater ponds to improve their pollutant removal performance.
