The Best Management Practices Statistical Estimator (BMPSE) was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Project Delivery and Environmental Review to provide planning-level information about the performance of structural best management practices for decision makers, planners, and highway engineers to assess and mitigate possible adverse effects of highway and urban runoff on the Nation's receiving waters (Granato 2013, 2014; Granato and others, 2021a,b). The BMPSE was used to calculate statistics and create input files for fitting the trapezoidal distribution to data from studies documenting the performance of individual structural stormwater...

PHREEQCI is a widely-used geochemical computer program that can be used to calculate chemical speciation and specific conductance of a natural water sample from its chemical composition (Charlton and Parkhurst, 2002; Parkhurst and Appelo, 1999). The specific conductance of a natural water calculated with PHREEQCI (Appelo, 2010) is reliable for pH greater than 4 and temperatures less than 35 °C (McCleskey and others, 2012b). An alternative method for calculating the specific conductance of natural waters is accurate over a large range of ionic strength (0.0004–0.7 mol/kg), pH (1–10), temperature (0–95 °C), and specific conductance (30–70,000 μS/cm) (McCleskey and others, 2012a). PHREEQCI input files for calculating...

The InterpretSELDM program is a graphical post processor designed to facilitate analysis and presentation of stormwater modeling results from the Stochastic Empirical Loading and Dilution Model (SELDM), which is a stormwater model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. SELDM simulates flows, concentrations, and loads in stormflows from upstream basins, the highway, best management practice outfalls, and in the receiving water downstream of a highway. SELDM is designed to transform complex scientific data into meaningful information about (1) the risk of adverse effects from stormwater runoff on receiving waters, (2) the potential need for mitigation measures,...

NOTE: the Stream Channel and Floodplain Metric Toolbox has been superseded by a newer tool, FACET. The Stream Channel and Floodplain Metric Toolbox was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of mapping fluvial geomorphic features from high-resolution bare-earth elevation data. A Python toolbox for ArcGIS was built to calculate key metrics describing channel and floodplain geometry. Channel and Floodplain Metric Toolbox provides this ability in an automated fashion, allowing for regional analyses based solely on digital elevation models (DEMs). This manual describes the general operation of the toolbox and technical details describing the specific algorithms. The toolbox works best in a watershed no larger than...
