Home / About SBPAT |
|
Structural BMP Prioritization and Analysis Tool (SBPAT) is a public domain, open source code GIS-based water quality analysis tool intended to a) facilitate the prioritization and selection of BMP project opportunities and technologies in urbanized watersheds, and b) quantify benefits, costs, uncertainties and potential risks associated with stormwater quality projects. The prioritization methodology is geared toward optimizing the water quality return on investment (ROI) for user-defined priorities and multiple pollutant types. An example application is the integration of stakeholder priorities with technical data to identify priority BMP activities within a watershed. The quantification/analysis module utilizes land use based Event Mean Concentrations, EPA-SWMM, USEPA/ASCE International BMP Database, site data and a Monte Carlo approach to quantify water quality benefits and uncertainties. SBPAT was developed by Geosyntec and GreenInfo Network for Heal the Bay, City of Los Angeles, and County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works. Development of SBPAT was funded by the California State Water Resources Control Board, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles and Geosyntec Consultants.
