Title of Presentation: Practical Method For Qualitative Visual Evaluation of Storm Drains Using a Visible Fluorescent Dye Tracer Author: Diana L. Lundelius, CHMM Keywords: storm water, dye testing, inspection, assessment, storm drain Abstract: Systematic approach for conducting qualitative visual inspections of outfalls, storm drains, and sanitary sewer source points using a visible fluorescent dye tracer. The method may be used to satisfy industrial MSGP non-storm water discharge assessment and certification. It is intended for use to verify flow path only, and not to test for structural integrity. The dye used was Rhodamine, approved by USEPA, USGS, and other agencies for conducting dye tracer flow studies. The method is recommended for industrial facilities with no direct discharge to surface drinking water sources. Where flow path of sanitary/process wastewaters or storm drains cannot be verified by site plan or piping diagrams, this method reliably establishes discharge flow patterns with low adverse environmental impact.
