4C H A P T E R 2 Research Findings The research team reviewed documents on bird strike risk and stormwater BMP design and used factors identified in the research and from the research team's experience to develop a draft Bird Strike Risk Analysis and Stormwater Management Decision Tool. As a result of the research, feedback from the case studies, project panel teleconference, and panel meeting, the research team identified the research findings described in the following paragraphs.

5 strike data can be revealing, the shortage of species identifications in the database and the general absence of data for many airports can provide misleading information. The goal was to make the species identification and the corresponding relative hazard scores from DeVault et al.

11 Application It is the research team's intent that the tool be integrated into the overall BMP planning and selection process to help bring bird strike risk considerations to the forefront amongst competing BMP selection factors. When applied during the BMP planning phase, the tool may be useful to explore the bird strike risk associated with conceptual BMP design characteristics, and allow for changes to reduce risk with minimal project cost impacts.
