The spreadsheet-based tool helps stormwater managers to estimate reduced nutrient loads as a result of implementing green infrastructure. The Opti-Tool also incorporates precipitation data and performs a cost-benefit analysis for which BMP (11 types are demonstrated in the tool) is most appropriate for the location. A fact sheet on the Opti-Tool is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.epa.gov\/region1\/npdes\/stormwater\/ma\/opti-tool-fact-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.

This is a great example of a public works department adapting BMPs to best suit their O&amp;M needs while still managing stormwater.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/mwraadvisoryboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/opti-tool.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn more about the EPA&#8217;s Opti-Tool to help create a stormwater management plan at a free workshop on June 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":398,"featured_media":7814,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","has-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/398"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
