Stormwater facilities are often designated as providing enhanced (80% TSS removal) or basic treatment (50 to 60% TSS removal) based on their capacity to remove fine particles (MOE, 2003)<ref>Ministry of Environment. 2003.

These facilities change not only sediment loads of sediment but also the composition of sediment loads, which has important implications for calculating performance.
