• Abstract:
  This research has provided NCDOT with (1) scientific observations to validate the pollutant removal ; performance of selected structural BMPs, (2) a database management option for BMP monitoring and ; non-monitoring sites, (3) pollution prevention plans for vehicular maintenance facilities, and (4) ; treatment options for borrow pit wastewaters. An intensive monitoring program was conducted to ; characterize and examine the pollutant removal performance of three highway BMP types (grass filter ; strip, filtration swale, and grassed shoulder). A Stormwater Data Management System was developed ; for storage and retrieval of BMP site characterization data that are obtained during BMP site ; inspection. Suggestions were provided to the development of pollution prevention plans for vehicular ; maintenance facilities. Treatment technologies for borrow pit wastewater have been presented ; including the development of pump capacity curves for proper sizing and operation of stilling basins, ; a spreadsheet calculator for performing cost analysis for the polymer injection treatment system, and ; chemical/physical treatment alternatives.
