Abstract
The improvement in the effluent quality of the treated sanitary sewage entering the South Saskatchewan River at Saskatoon, Canada, and the impending change in provincial legislation governing urban runoff, provided the impetus for Saskatchewan Environment to initiate the stormwater runoff quality study reported in this paper. Among others, the study involved a field program for characterizing the urban runoff water quality from four catchments, each representing a different type of land use. Both a site mean concentration approach and a multiple variable regression analysis approach were used to quantify the pollutant load contained within the runoff. Thereafter, using the runoff water quality characterizations developed in the study, rainfall–runoff pollutant loads from the entire city were estimated and compared with two local point sources to the receiving stream. On the basis of this analysis, it was found that urban runoff contributes more total suspended solids and total Kjeldahl nitrogen load, similar chemical oxygen demand load, and slightly less total phosphorus load than the two local point sources.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
