Abstract
Most stormwater infrastructures are aging and deteriorating in the United States. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) announced in its 2021 Report Card for America's Infrastructure that stormwater infrastructure has received a 'D' grade. The primary study objective is to help decision-makers deal effectively with the control measures of the limited-budgeted, ambiguous and inconsistently applied operation and maintenance of stormwater infrastructures. A five-dimensional assessment model for operation and maintenance of stormwater control measures (5D-SAM) was developed, including location, quality, time/quantity, cost, and environmental aspects. The model is very effective in helping decision-makers identify the current stormwater infrastructure conditions, predict the future state, manage the quantity and improve the quality of stormwater runoff in the most cost-effective manner. It helps determine whether a distressed stormwater system is beneficial to be demolished or it would be cost-effective to either repair, rehabilitate or retrofit. Moreover, the model can be utilized for fast and accurate assessment and better resource allocation for strategic planning of stormwater infrastructures.
