CSN Technical Bulletin No. 7, Stormwater Pollution Benchmarking Tool for Existing Industrial, Federal and Municipal Facilities (March 2010), presents a visual diagnostic tool for identifying and prioritizing stormwater pollution problems at existing regulated facilities across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Developed by the Chesapeake Stormwater Network and partners, it helps managers assess “hotspot” sites and target pollution prevention, retrofits, and stewardship actions in response to limited monitoring requirements and gaps in existing stormwater permit programs.
