dc.description.sponsorshipThe report is supported by the U.S. EPA Chesapeake Bay Program grant CB-973222-01 and the dedicated support from research project team partners through contributed staff services, laboratory analysis and monitoring equipment. The grant supported the graduate research for Katie DiBlasi supervised by Dr. Upal Ghosh at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Katie DiBlasi steadfastly (and not without amusement) vacuumed the streets of Baltimore as part of her Masters thesis. Katie’s competence and resourcefulness with assistance from Yan Zhuang at UMBC, provided a comprehensive analysis of the monitoring data. Baltimore City Department of Public Works provided overall coordination of the street sweeping and storm drain cleanout practices and sample collection for monitoring activities in the City. Special thanks to Bill Stack, Prakash Mistry, Norm Seldom, Matthew Cherigo and James Spencer and the Baltimiore City street sweeper crews. The Ken Belt and Richard Pouyat from the U.S. Forest Service Northern Research Station as part of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study provided essential resources to include staff and equipment for sample collection and data analysis as part of a larger monitoring effort in Watershed 263. Steven Stewart and Megan Brosh from the Baltimore County Department of Environmental and Resource Management planned, coordinated and implemented the storm drain inlet monitoring element of the project. Chemical analysis was provided by John Burnett at the Baltimore County Department of Public Works. Claire Welty, Director of the Center for Urban and Environmental Research and Education at UMBC for her overall guidance and thoughtful contributions to the project. Of course, there wouldn’t be an end without a beginning and for that I am greatly appreciative of Tom Schueler who got this project off the ground at the Center for Watershed Protection
