The challenges of stormwater management are increasing due to changing climate, population growth and urbanization, and aging infrastructure. These pressures are leading to greater risks of flooding, water quality degradation, and adverse ecological impacts. In response, Adaptive Level Control Systems (ALCS) are emerging as a promising approach for stormwater management, gaining traction within the engineering community for their ability to effectively address these challenges. ALCS refers to actively controlled outlets within stormwater best management practices (BMPs), ponds, and lakes. These systems are either distributed or interconnected and are designed to adaptively regulate water levels in order to manage flow rates and storage volumes effectively. In theory, an active outlet that is adaptively, and in some cases automatically, responding to current and forecasted conditions has the ability to impact flows and volumes before, during, and after storm events, unlocking a level of control that passive outlets simply cannot achieve. Furthermore, ALCS can be retrofitted to existing BMPs, accessing existing storage volume more economically than new construction of traditional stormwater BMPs. Our team conducted research on ALCS retrofits for existing BMPs and published our findings through a research project supported and funded by the University of Minnesota Stormwater Research Council. Key focus areas of the research were a literature review to summarize the current knowledge, planning level cost estimating methods, and strategies for implementation. The research was additionally informed by the work we are doing at Barr Engineering Co to support the evaluation, design, permitting, and construction of ALCS projects for several watershed districts and cities. Key findings indicate that ALCS has demonstrated effectiveness in managing both water quantity and quality, while also offering additional potential co-benefits. Through this presentation, we aim to share practical insights and lessons learned from our experience and research on ALCS as an additional tool available for stormwater management.
