Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this manual is to gather and to synthesize the results of past documentation and research on highway stormwater runoff into a single-volume user's manual on water quality impact assessment and mitigation. The manual will be useful to highway designers and environmental professionals by presenting the available and appropriate impact prediction and mitigation tools for use during highway project planning and development activities. The development of this document had three components: a literature search on existing research results and operational findings on highway stormwater runoff that identifies existing water quality impact assessment and mitigation techniques; interviews with highway practitioners concerning the use of research results including maintenance of mitigation measures; and synthesis of the accumulated information into this single-volume, practical guidance manual. This manual is intended to be a self-contained desk reference for highway practitioners. An extensive bibliography is included, and the mathematical nomenclature is unified among the sections.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an innovative stormwater best management practice in treating highway runoff and protecting the integrity of the drinking water reservoir in Warrenton, Virginia. The research focused on the use of a biodetention pond, which combines the concepts of detention ponds and bioretention in an attempt to provide higher overall pollutant removal. Storm event and background concentrations were all within or below the expected range for highway runoff pollutants and below Virginia's ambient maximum contamination levels for drinking water. The majority of the pollutant removal efficiencies were below values reported in the literature for well-designed wet/dry detention ponds and bioretention areas. Concentration comparisons for one storm event indicated serious problems with sediment re-suspension or short-circuiting in the biodetention facility. Design recommendations are made to potentially improve pollutant removal in the biodetention facility, and design guidelines are offered for future biodetention pond construction. In spite of pond short-circuiting and re-suspension, the study concludes that the biodetention pond adequately protects the integrity of the Warrenton Reservoir and is an innovative alternative for treating stormwater runoff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to obtain the necessary detailed design guidelines for storm water best management practices (BMPs) included in the Virginia Department of Transportation's storm water manual, a field program was initiated in 1991 for testing the pollutant removal efficiency of selected practices. A dry detention pond with a small, highly impervious drainage area and a vegetated swale draining runoff from an urban highway were selected for the study. Manual as well as automatic sampling methods were used to monitor storm water runoff into and out of the two facilities. Pollutant removal efficiencies were calculated by a mass balance method. Pollutants examined included total suspended solids, total phosphorus, and total zinc. Preliminary data showed that, if properly designed, these types of facilities can be an effective tool for removing storm water pollution from highway runoff.

Book excerpt: Highway stormwater runoff from large, multi-lane highways is one of the leading causes of watercourse impairment worldwide. Road runoff frequently carries within it a substantial physicochemical pollutant burden which includes sediments, nutrients, petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals. In seasonally-cold climates, winter maintenance activities entail the use of road salts, which constitute an additional source of pollutant loading to the road surface. A multi-pronged approach was used to improve the state of practice surrounding highway design, management and the methodological application of treatment approaches. First, a simple road salt application optimization tool was developed in order to help highway maintenance managers utilize a sound, scientifically defensible methodology when making determinations related to the frequency, timing and rate of road salt application. Data from three sites was used to modify the temperature index (TI) model to include sinusoidal variance in the daily melt coefficient, in addition to considerations related to the surficial rerouting of snow as well as the melt point depression caused by salt's interaction with snow and ice. The second avenue of investigation led to the development of artificial neural networks (ANNs) capable of predicting the runoff concentration statistical distribution parameters for common heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cr, Pb) and total suspended solid (TSS) event mean concentrations (EMCs) within highway stormwater runoff. The third avenue of investigation focused on the assessment and testing of novel treatment media for the purpose of enhancing existing roadside ditches in environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs). Blast furnace (BF) slag, basic oxygenated furnace (BOF) slag, iron-enriched overburden (IRON) and wood chips (WC) were tested. The long-term removal of Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn within repacked soil columns ranged from 46-98%. The fourth research effort focused on the development of a methodological framework for designing enhanced roadside ditch systems for application in ESAs. The feasibility of this framework is demonstrated through a field-scale pilot study, complemented by three years of real-time monitoring data. Three different types of impermeable liner - compacted clay (CC), high density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) - were tested for their ability to prevent stormwater egress from the facility.
