Trash Capture Devices (TCDs) have been available for decades as a way to control litter in waterways.  Until now, a water manager had only the manufacturer’s performance claims to rely on.  Now, ASTM and STEPP have created a standard test protocol and data verification program that will give watershed managers independently verified, standardized performance data for TCDs. 

A discussion of ASTM E3332 and the STEPP program, including examples from test reports, will explain how these tools can help watershed managers take advantage of the new verified reports.  There will also be discussion of lessons learned while testing to the E332 standard and what revisions are in store for that standard.
