Drinking Water Treatment Residuals Analysis for Stormwater Enhancement in New England

Results from analyzing drinking water treatment residuals (DWTRs) collected from 11 facilities in the Northeast Region. The data includes measurements of phosphorus removal capacity, arsenic leaching, and PFAS content. The dataset was published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing phosphorus removal capacity of DWTRs for stormwater filter design.
• Evaluating arsenic leaching potential from DWTRs to ensure environmental safety.
• Analyzing PFAS content in DWTRs to inform reuse regulations.
• Comparing material properties from 11 different drinking water treatment facilities.

Strengths

• Data sourced from 11 distinct drinking water treatment facilities.
• Analysis covers three key environmental parameters: phosphorus, arsenic, and PFAS.
• Dataset is associated with a peer-reviewed publication in a scientific journal.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Northeast Region.
