5.4 Catchment Annual Pollutant Loads


An assessment of stormwater quality was undertaken for the developed unmitigated site. The discharge
concentrations of key pollutants from the site were then compared to the WOO’s. The pollutant concentrations were
obtained by running a MUSIC model with the model parameters sourced from Water by Design Music Modelling
Guidelines (Version 1.0 2010). MUSIC is the Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation,
developed by the MUSIC Development Team of the CRC for Catchment Hydrology.

MUSIC has the ability to simulate quality of runoff from catchments ranging from a single house block up to many
square kilometres, and the effect of a wide range of treatment facilities on the quality of runoff downstream. By
simulating the performance of stormwater quality improvement measures, MUSIC determines if proposed systems
can meet   specified water quality objectives.

Table 5 details the MUSIC parameters utilised in running the model.

MUSIC calculated the following annual pollutant loads for the 4 combined catchments:

5.5 Selection of Stormwater Treatment Options


Based on the understanding of Sunshine Coast Regional Council’s requirements for stormwater quality treatment for
industrial sites Enviropods, a Stormfilter System and rainwater tanks have been utilised as the SOlD’s for this site.
