Stormwater Management
The stormwater benefits of existing tree canopy are compared with benefits derived from no tree canopy with 30 inches of precipitation:

Runoff Volume is reduced by 1.59%
Peak Flow is reduced by 2.44%
Time of Concentration is increased by 5.62%

Storage Volume required to mitigate the increase in peak flow due tree removal: 
5200.5 cubic feet
Volume of runoff reduced: 38899.71 gallons
Volume Reduction per Canopy Area: 3.153 gallons per sq foot
This value enables you to attach runoff reduction benefits to individual trees. Mulitiply ($ValuePerVolume)*(VolumeReductionPerCanopyArea)*(AverageCanopyAreaPerTree) to yield the `$ per tree stormwater reduction benefit`.
