Abstract:

Roadway runoff contributes large amounts of suspended solids/sediment, heavy metals, petroleum ; hydrocarbons, deicing chemicals, bacteria and other constituents to receiving waterways. The EPA ; National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) indicated that lead, zinc and copper were the pollutants ; most likely to be found in urban stormwater runoff. The occurrence of toxic heavy metals from ; Rhode Island highways, verified in a report completed by Thiem et al. in 1998, showed that ; cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel and zinc exceeded EPA’s acute and/or chronic water ; quality criteria. Besides toxic metals, stormwater also contains petroleum hydrocarbons, nutrients, ; and microbial matter as well as many other chemical compounds (Goebel et al., 2007). These toxic ; stormwater constituents are easily washed into water bodies, causing a decrease in overall water ; quality and stream diversity. In addition, toxic compounds often bind to soil particles and, upon ; entering drainage and runoff treatment structures, have to be removed and safely disposed of.
