Stormwater runoff has been growing in importance as communities become increasingly urbanized. This runoff exacerbates flooding and downstream erosion, while also conveying a host of contaminants such as sediment and excess nutrients. Sand filters are a stormwater control measure (SCM) designed to reduce peak flow rates and remove pollutants through filtration, sedimentation, and adsorption. Previous research indicates they primarily remove sediment while moderately removing nutrients and other pollutants such as hydrocarbons. Sand filters have not been monitored in North Carolina. Despite this, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) assigns stormwater removal credits for sand filters based on studies that examined bioretention cells without internal water storage (IWS). Sand filter design modifications have been considered to improve water quality treatment, especially for nutrient removal. One such option, IWS can provide anaerobic conditions at the bottom of the media to promote denitrification, the primary process for nitrogen removal. As a design component, IWS has been proven to improve pollutant removal in bioretention cells and permeable pavement systems but has not been studied in sand filters. In this study, four stormwater sand filters were monitored for two years to quantify their water quality and hydrologic performance. The sand filters were divided into pairs, with one pair located in Greensboro, NC (Sheetz and North Greensboro) and the other in Fayetteville, NC (Cape Landing and RNR). Sheetz and Cape Landing were retrofitted to add an IWS zone halfway through their two-year monitoring period. The four SCM watershed areas ranged from 4,000 m2 to 24,000 m2 and sand chamber surface areas ranged from less than 11 m2 up to 131 m2 . Hydrologic treatment was characterized by volume reduction and peak flow mitigation.Flow-weighted composite samples were collected during storm events to characterize each device's pollutant concentration removal efficiencies (REs) and load reductions (LRs) for nutrients (Total Phosphorus (TP), Orthophosphate (OP), Total Nitrogen (TN), Ammonia-N (NH3), NO2-3-N (NOX), and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN)) and total suspended solids (TSS).These sand filters significantly reduced runoff volume (20%) and mitigated peak flow (95%). The only pollutant that was significantly removed by all four sand filters (considering both RE and LR metrics) was TSS, but when all water quality EMC RE data were pooled, all pollutants except for NOX were significantly removed, while NOX was significantly exported. Most other pollutants were generally removed - when examining individual sites - when using both metrics.When considering the IWS retrofit, hydrologic mitigation was unaffected. At Sheetz, the significant removal of TN, TKN, and TSS was maintained while TP became significantly removed post-retrofit. At Cape Landing, the significant removal of TKN, NH3, TP, and TSS was maintained while the export of NOX became significant post-retrofit. The statistical impact of the retrofit was isolated using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test on the log10 of the influent and effluent pollutant loads. This test was unable to detect a statistical difference due to the retrofit for any pollutant at either site.
