Williams, Grag

Dr. Greg Williams has been talking trash since elementary school but it was not until recently that he did not get in trouble for it. Shout out to ASTM for making trash talk acceptable. The relatively new ASTM Committee E64 Stormwater Control Measures has published a number of standards lately, including E3332 Standard Test Method for Determining Trash and/or Debris Capture Performance of Stormwater Control Measures. Dr. Williams is the technical lead for this standard and he is here to tell you all about it.

Introducing a New ASTM Standard Method for Measuring Trash Capture

Abstract

ASTM recently published the standard E3332 Determining Trash and/or Debris Capture Performance of Stormwater Control Measures. This presentation will briefly discuss the ASTM process and how it produces quality standards, then it will describe the standard in E3332 depth. The standard includes 6 different tests and each one will be addressed. The presentation will then address the potential benefits of using the standard as part of a Stormwater Control Measure (SCM) regulation/selection program. It will also describe what implementation of the standard could look like. The Stormwater Testing and Evaluation of Products and Practices (STEPP) program plans to launch a national validation program in March 2023 with trash capture devices as the first SCMs to be verified. What this means for regulators interested in requiring E3332 testing will be covered in the presentation.

This paper was presented at the WEF Stormwater Summit, June 27-29, 2023.
