Allan and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the development of a methodology to estimate pollutant loading from stormwater runoff from North Carolina. A summary of regression-based pollutant loading models developed for highway runoff from the literature is presented. The regression models based on average daily traffic (ADT) and percent impervious coverage (IMP) developed by Wu and Allan (2001) are applied to the I-40 corridor within NC. Multiple regression models based on traffic conditions, previous storm conditions, antecedent dry period and storm characteristics are developed for five NC highway sites and compared to similar regression models developed for highway sites near Austin, Texas. Finally, traditional digital elevation models (DEM) and Lidar topographic information is used in conjunction with the GIS-based NC sensitive water crossing point coverage to define highway drainage areas and their impervious cover characteristics for two case studies in eastern NC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of four final documents of an investigation dealing with the characterization of stormwater runoff pollutant loads from highways, and the prediction of water quality impacts they cause. Study results are based on monitoring data from 993 individual storm events at 31 highway runoff sites in 11 States. Impact prediction is based on a methodology previously developed and applied to urban runoff and adapted for highway runoff applications. This document provides a step-by-step procedure for computing the estimated impacts on water quality of a stream or lake that receives highway runoff. Guidance is provided for evaluating whether or not a water quality problem will result, and the degree of pollution control required to mitigate impacts to acceptable levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents research findings pertaining to the implementation of a comprehensive monitoring program for characterization of North Carolina highway runoff. Ten monitoring sites distributed in the piedmont (6 sites), mountains (2 sites) and coastal (2 sites) regions were included in the study. Contributing drainage areas ranged from 0.15 to 13.26 acres. Roadway imperviousness and traffic volumes ranged from 22% to 100% and 9,400 to 78,800 vehicles/day both directions, respectively. Rainfall-runoff data and composite storm water samples were obtained from 237 storm events. The effectiveness of vegetative best management practices was assessed by comparing pollutant exports from 3 groups of paired monitoring sites. A database was established for estimation of seasonal and annual pollutant loads and event-mean concentrations.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide shows you how to develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan specifically designed for your construction site. It should answer any questions you have regarding the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities that are classified as "Associated with Industrial Activity" (referred to as EPA's Baseline Construction General Permit). Step-by-step guidelines and checklists walk you through the process of setting up your plan, which makes the book invaluable for consultants, regulators, and construction managers and engineers.

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.
