  A hydrological assessment of urban storm water entering Highland Creek from Military Trail and adjacent valley land. Event based contaminant load contributions in runoff were upscaled to larger upstream contributing areas akin to the study site. It was determined that even non contaminated urban runoff contributes to instream loading and should be mitigated using proactive low impact design (LID).
