Abstract
Parking lot stormwater runoff can be a principal cause of urban waterway pollution and a main contributor to stormwater overflow, as it mobilizes a number of constituents from vehicular and atmospheric deposits over a large nonpermeable area. The objective of this study was to propose a more efficient design of the Cintas Center Parking Lot of Xavier University that reduced stormwater overflow and the number of pollutive contaminants in the infiltrated stormwater through the use of bioretention and extensive greening. For this proposal, the effectiveness of an added bioswale in reducing nitrates, phosphorus, BODs, and sediment loads was evaluated in the STEPL stormwater management programing software.
