| Abstract: | Concentrations of selected chemical constituents in storm runoff were determined from samples collected at four storm-sewer outfalls in Boise from October 1993 through June 1994 and one outfall in Garden City from September through October 1994. Strom- runoff volume and mean concentrations of constituents were used to estimate storm-runoff loads. Previously developed U.S. Geological Survey regional regression models of runoff and 11 chemical constituents were evaluated to assess their suitability for use in Boise and Garden City. Data collected in the study area were used to develop adjusted regional models of storm-runoff volumes and mean concentrations and loads of the 11 chemical constituents. Mean annual runoff volume and loads at the five out-falls were estimated from 904 storms during 1976 through 1993. Two methods were used to compute individual storm loads. The first method used adjusted regional models for mean concentra- tion and runoff volume. For large storms, the first method seemed to produce excessively high loads for some constituents; the second method provided more reliable results for large storms for suspended solids. |
