  • Abstract:
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Municipal Separate Storm Water Sewer System (MS4) Program ; regulations require municipalities and government agencies including the Louisiana Department of Transportation ; and Development (LADOTD) to develop and implement stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for linear ; transportation systems to reduce the discharge of pollutants, thereby protecting water quality. The BMPs commonly ; used for linear transportation systems include exfi ltration trench devices, infi ltration devices, vegetated bio-fi lter ; devices, and detention devices. While many of these BMPs have varying degrees of viability, none are applicable for the ; many sections of elevated roadways in Louisiana. In addition, most existing stormwater BMPs require high hydraulic ; conductivity topsoil for infi ltration; however, the soils in coastal Louisiana are typically composed of clay and silt, which ; have low permeability and may result in the failure of infi ltration-based BMPs. Therefore, an effi cient and cost-eff ective ; stormwater treatment device is urgently needed for complying with MS4 regulations.
