Abstract:The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has installed several stormwater treatment facilities to
improve the quality of runoff discharged from the State’s highway network. These facilities include a
variety of both above ground and below ground structures, such as vegetated swales, filter strips,
detention basins, infiltration ponds, catch basin filters, and various proprietary systems. To complement
existing work devoted to providing effectiveness and efficiency information of stormwater best
management practices (BMPs) (www.bmpdatabase.org), ODOT is interested in evaluating the
performance of the stormwater treatment facilities that are currently employed and identify the ones that
are most appropriate for Oregon’s highways. Implementation of stormwater BMPs is likely to be
expanded by ODOT in the near future in response to the Phase II NPDES requirements. Therefore
ODOT would like to know how well their current BMPs perform, their relative cost-effectiveness, and
how they compare with other water quality best management practices (BMPs) not currently being used
by ODOT.
To ensure the collection and analysis of quality data using scientifically sound techniques, a monitoring
approach must be developed that specifically addresses all of the steps necessary to collect, analyze, and
report stormwater BMP efficiency and effectiveness data. As Task 1 in developing a monitoring
approach, an extensive analysis of the most recent literature relating to performance monitoring of
stormwater best management practices (BMPs) was be conducted. This document provides an annotated
bibliography summarizing the most current information related to BMP monitoring, as well as a
description of the potential value of the information with regards to the development of ODOT’s
stormwater BMP monitoring protocols.
During the next task of this project, information summarized below will be evaluated to identify what
local information is currently available, how it might be expanded, and how it could be used to assess the
efficiency or effectiveness of various water quality treatment facilities.
