12 C H A P T E R 3 Conclusions Drawing on the research tasks (described in Appendix A) and associated findings presented in Chapter 2, the research team has developed a single tool that allows for the management of bird strike risk associated with the attraction of water-dependent birds to stormwater management BMPs at airports.

13 Risk Matrix The "Risk Matrix" tab depicts the risk matrix, based on the SMS framework, which forms the basis for assigning scores to severity and likelihood factors and calculating overall risk. This tab is provided for informational purposes to illustrate how the banding of each risk factor corresponds to the severity or probability levels.

The research team developed the following features in the tool: • Clarifying instructions for selection of inputs from dropdown lists; • Additional "pop up" instructions that appear when user hovers the mouse over a risk factor; • Guidance explaining how different BMP design characteristics affect bird strike risk; • Color-coding of data entry cells in Excel to indicate userdefined inputs, default values, and other information; • Color-coding of the risk analysis steps; • Calculation of BMP perimeter irregularity in the tool; • Enhancement of the user interface to facilitate ease of use; and • Reorganization of the START tab and steps of the tool to facilitate navigation.
