  • 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.
