→1. Changes in the composition of runoff, especially the size distribution of sediment particles
The performance of a treatment train will vary based on the type of stormwater treatment practices implemented and their arrangement within the treatment train. Various changes occur as [[Runoff volume control targets|runoff]] moves through the treatment train. Key changes that need to be considered when [[Low impact development treatment train tool|calculating treatment train performance]] including:

Stormwater facilities are often designated as providing enhanced (80% TSS removal) or basic treatment (50 to 60% TSS removal) based on their capacity to remove fine particles (MOE, 2003)<ref>Ministry of Environment. 2003. Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual. March 2003. Copyright: Queen’s Printer for Ontario, 2003. ISBN 0-7794-2969-9. PIBS 4329e. Accessed: https://www.ontario.ca/document/stormwater-management-planning-and-design-manual-0.</ref>. These facilities change not only sediment loads of sediment but also the composition of sediment loads, which has important implications for calculating performance.
