Reducing discharged phosphorus[edit]

In many forms of LID practice, the dominant mechanism reducing the loading of phosphorus, is the significant volume reduction achieved.

For infiltration practices an 'amendment' can help to retain even further P. Amendments

Phosphorous testing[edit]

To help ensure LID BMPs sustain healthy vegetation cover while not contributing substantially to nutrient loading of receiving waters, the quantity of extractable (i.e., available) P in the soil component needs to be measured and compared to design specifications or acceptance criteria.
