===Volume reduction===

In many forms of LID practice, the dominant mechanism reducing the [[loading]] of phosphorus, is the significant volume reduction achieved.

===Chemical control===

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

==Phosphorus testing==

==Phosphorus testing in media==

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.
