Abstract: A methodologyis presented for assessing the pollution control performance of an on-stream stormwater pond, and the application of this methodology to a specific facility in Kingston, Ontario, Canada is documented. This assessment is based on constituent mass balances for both baseflow and event conditions. Results on removal rates are provided for selected dissolved constituents, nutrients, suspended solids, metals and organic contaminants. In summary, dissolved constituents exhibit zero removal for baseflow periods and positive removal for events; nutrients and suspended solids exhibit negative removal for baseflow periods and positive removal for events; and metals and organics exhibit positive removal for both baseflow periods and events. Constituent removal appears to be controlled mainly by physical processes (sedimentation), and the uncertainties associated with the estimates of constituent loads are quantified.
