Framework for a National Testing and Evaluation Program Based Upon the National Stormwater Testing and Evaluation for Products and Practices (STEPP) Initiative

Abstract

The National Stormwater Testing and Evaluation for Products and Practices (STEPP) initiative seeks to improve water quality by accelerating the effective implementation and adoption of innovative stormwater management technologies. It attempts to accomplish this by establishing practices through highly reliable and cost-effective stormwater control measure (SCM) testing, evaluation, and verification services. This report provides recommendations on potential program design components to be considered for the national program and addresses both the general programmatic and individual program aspects.
