==Limiting excess phosphorus==

===Volume reduction===
 +
In many forms of LID practice, the dominant mechanism reducing the loading of phosphorus, is the significant volume reduction of the outflow achieved.

 +
===Chemical control===
 +
For infiltration practices an 'amendment' or chemically reactive 'additive' can help to retain even more phosphorus.

==Phosphorus testing in media==
<p>To help ensure LID BMPs sustain healthy vegetation cover while not contributing substantially to nutrient loading of receiving waters, the quantity of extractable (i.e., available) P in the soil component needs to be measured and compared to design specifications or acceptance criteria. </p>
