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

===Phosphorous 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.
