DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

File List: 
Root:
1. "Pine8_SpikeTest_DigitalLogBook.xlsx": This workbook contains the digital lab
logbook for the experiment, the measured concentrations, and the calculations 
that were used to prepare the experimental results for use in the model. 
2. "Model_inputs.xlsx": This workbook contains all of the model inputs used to
run the model.
3. "3. Pine and 8th South - Bioretention SWMM Template.zip": This contains the
EPA-SWMM model for the Pine and 8th st catchment, and the rain gauges that
were used to generate the synthetic events. You can download EPA-SWMM here:
https://www.epa.gov/water-research/storm-water-management-model-swmm
4. "SubsurfaceSinks-Pine8th.tar.gz" 
This repository contains the SubsurfaceSinks code and associated 
BioretentionBlues subclass that was used to estimate 
the transport and fate of chemicals in this publication. For more information
see the repository at https://github.com/tfmrodge/SubsurfaceSinks, the uploaded 
version is V2.0: Pine8th. Note that V1.0 does not exist, but is the version
that was used in Rodgers et al. (2022)


Relationship between files, if important: 
These files contain the measurements and the values that were used to 
parameterize and run the BioretentionBlues subclass for 
estimating the fate and transport of 6PPD-Quinone through stormwater
bioretention systems.

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 
The data presented here was collected from a "spike and recovery" experiment 
on a bioretention cell in Vancouver, Canada. Full methodological information
can be found in the associated publication. 

DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: [1. Pine8_SpikeTest_DigitalLogBook.xlsx]
This workbook contains 11 sheets and a "cover" sheet, which describes the data
contained in each sheet. For full methodological details, see the associated
manuscript. Briefly, flow rates were measured with a 3L graduated cylinder and 
a stopwatch, the "water quality' parameters (temperature °C, conductivity us, 
and pH) were measured with a water quality probe. Samples were taken using a 
peristaltic pump and then stored on ice until extraction (as described below).
Analysis (see associated manuscript for full details):
We quantified 6PPD-quinone by extracting the water samples using off-line 
solid-phase extraction (SPE), and then transferred 1 mL of well-mixed extract to
HPLC vials for analysis using an Agilent 1200 series high-performance liquid 
chromatography (HPLC) system and a 6410 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer 
(Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). We measured the concentrations of the bromide 
and rhodamine-WT tracers using ion chromatography (Dionex Aquion, Thermo 
Scientific, Ontario, Canada) and UV/Vis spectroscopy (Unicam UV 300, Thermo 
Spectronic, USA), respectively.

DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: [2. Model Inputs.xlsx]
This workbook contains 12 sheets and a "cover" sheet, which describes each
sheet and the data contained therein.

DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: [3. Pine and 8th South - Bioretention SWMM Template.zip]
This compressed folder contains an EPA-SWMM model of the Pine and 8th st.
catchnment and bioretention cell (uncalibrated). It can be used to generate
the input flows to the bioretention cell that were used in this study. 
For details on how to run an EPA-SWMM model, refer to:
https://www.epa.gov/water-research/storm-water-management-model-swmm

DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: [4. "SubsurfaceSinks-Pine8th.tar.gz"] 
This repository contains the SubsurfaceSinks and BioretentionBlues code used to 
estimate the transport and fate of chemicals in this publication. For more 
information see the reposiitory at https://github.com/tfmrodge/FugModel, the 
uploaded version is V2.0: Pine8th.
