be evaluated for a range of pollutants and these                  filter out and prevent pollutants from entering our waterways.
                                                                  Like any effective filtration system, periodically these

In short, the performance evaluation of any system                       dependent on the pollutant load characteristics

     scientific testing as determined by an independent
     peer reviewer and the results further peer reviewed and
     published in a credible scientific journal. Any potential
     or perceived conflicts of interest should be disclosed
     within the published article.

 2   Published article providing insight into the pollutant
     composition (e.g. soluble vs particulate for nitrogen)
     and the mean concentration of inflow and outflow to
     compare to local and or regional conditions.

 3   Performance evaluation undertaken in dry weather
     conditions or a method to take into account any
     potential leaching of nutrients that may occur in
     the system(s).

 4   Evaluation is conducted using full-scale systems
     with details of treatable flow rates sampled and how
     they correlate to discrete removal efficiencies and
     comparisons to the designed treatable flow rates of
     the device. A comparison should also be made to the
     climatic conditions especially where un-restricted filters
     are used.
