• 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.
