A study of the total suspended solids TSS discharging into surrounding waters for a small city indicates that 35% of the TSS can be removed by street sweeping, 14% of the TSS can be removed using catch basin inserts and 17% of the TSS can be removed by providing vegetative buffers (grass and parkland) which filter the stormwater runoff. If 450Lb of solids were collected from catch basin inserts after six weeks, how many pounds of solids would you expect the street sweeper to collect over the same period of time?
