Abstract:Highway construction and maintenance activities done directly in streams disturb soil and rock in the stream bed creating turbidity. The intent of this project was to test the effectiveness of reducing construction generated turbidity by using a substance called chitosan. By flocculating soil particles together, chitosan causes them to settle out of the water more quickly, or to be more easily removed through filtration.
