From page 88...
... 88 acre drainage area yields a volume of stormwater runoff of approximately 3,000 m3 per year. For an influent copper concentration in the stormwater runoff of 10 µg/L and desired effluent concentration of 3 µg/L, the required mass of copper adsorbed per year is approximately 22 g.
