... 43 C H a P T E r 4 Long-term BMP performance represents the average annual performance over the life of the BMP, which depends greatly on various BMP unit treatment processes. Pollutant removal mechanisms in BMPs are based on unit operations and processes (UOPs)

... 48 was needed for the Spearman's rho computation because the correlation analysis uses the ranks of the data. If the Wilcoxon test found a statistically significant difference between the influent and effluent concentrations, and the Spearman's rho test found that a monotonic relationship exists, regression equations were developed using the KendallTheil robust line procedure described by Granato (2006)

... 50 4.4 Influent Highway Runoff Water Quality Methods Influent highway runoff concentrations are calculated as described in Section 4.3.1 and are shown in the rightmost column of Table 4-6. Tool users have the option of overriding this default with a value from the table or from other monitoring data.
