Download or read book Ecotoxicity of Highway Runoff written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Province of Ontario, in spite of recent improvements in point source controls through programs like MISA, in most urbanized areas it is impossible to attain Water Quality targets and restore beneficial uses without some control of stormwater and combined sewer overflow discharges. Highways and associated land corridors may produce significant volumes of runoff conveying a variety of contaminants and since traditionally, the design of highway drainage focused on removing runoff to ameliorate traffic safety issues, the impact of dispersed highway runoff was rarely considered. To develop some appreciation of such impacts a preliminary study of the toxicity of highway runoff was conducted. For this preliminary survey-type study of toxicant and genotoxicant presence in highway runoff, a section of the QEW highway (Burlington Skyway) was selected. Two runoff samples were collected, one within minutes of the onset of a heavy storm and another after approximately 15 hours of light rainfall. These samples were tested with a battery of bioassays to establish the presence of toxicants"--Abstract.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the final form of the Washington State highway pollutant loading model, incorporating data from the five years of study. It also features a probabilistic analysis of concentration and loading data designed to express the chance of exceeding specific values in a given case. Other topics include further assessment of the toxicity of highway runoff and its causes.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chemical and toxicological characterization of highway runoff was carried out to investigate seasonal effects on highway runoff quality. The most notable variation in toxic responses was attributable to the presence of de-icing salt. The runoff samples which exhibited severe acute toxicity using a Daphnia magna lethality tests, had high concentrations of road salt constituents Na and CI. The concentrations of these ions varied by four orders of magnitude over the investigated period"--Abstract.

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.
