Documentary abstract — original language

Constructed stormwater wetlands (CSWs) are a stormwater control measure (SCM) designed to remove pollutants from stormwater. Over time, sediment and gross solids from contributing runoff accumulate in the SCM. If accumulated mass is not removed, it can negatively affect hydrologic performance and water quality treatment of CSWs. Several studies have emphasized the importance of sediment removal as a maintenance practice, but limited research exists on the composition of accumulated mass, factors that influence its buildup, and its accumulation rate. Because removal of accumulated mass is expensive, predicting the frequency and extent of accumulation in CSWs is valuable for extending CSW longevity while minimizing maintenance costs. Twelve CSWs in North Carolina, each at least eight years old, were evaluated, and accumulated mass was quantified. Composition of accumulated mass, recommended frequency of removal, and factors that may influence accumulation rate were also determined. This dataset contains measured accumulated mass depths, mass composition parameters--including particle size analysis (PSA) results, percent organic values, and accumulation classifications--and related watershed and wetland characteristics that may affect accumulation.
