• Abstract:
  The coastal waters of Hawaii are extremely important for recreation as well as for the health of
  
  the marine environment. Runoff from the construction and operation of highways can be a
  
  source of pollution to coastal waters. Individual states in the US have established regulatory
  
  programs to protect surface waters for their designated uses. Protecting near shore waters is
  
  particularly important in the State of Hawaii where beach water quality is critical to the tourismbased
  
  economy. Diffuse pollution from storm runoff is found to have a great impact on surface
  
  water quality (Novotny, 1999; Kim et al., 2005). State and federal regulatory agencies are
  
  increasing their efforts to quantify and control the sources of non-point source pollution. Limited
  
  water quality monitoring data for storm runoff from the construction and operation of highway
  
  H-3 on Oahu are available (Wong, 2005; Presley, 2001; Presley 2002; Young and Ball, 2004;
  
  Young and Ball, 2005). Such data are not widely available for all areas of the state, although the
  
  Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) and the Clean Water Branch are trying to develop and
  
  implement TMDLs for various streams. The current research was undertaken to obtain additional
  
  data on storm runoff water quality.
