Abstract:

Street sweeping and storm water system cleaning activities are conducted regularly by ODOT to comply with NPDES permit requirements and to ensure roadway safety. Once collected, these materials are classified as solid waste and require cost-effective and sustainable management. This research report summarizes tools for tracking and quantifying the volume of material collected and associated management costs, comprehensive analytical testing of solid waste materials from multiple locations, design and construction of a prototype decanting facility, metal adsorption media testing at the prototype decanting facility, and the development of standard operating procedures to operate the new facility. Detailed analysis shows the solid waste disposal cost is less than 5% of the management activity and management priorities should focus on cost-effective collection and management versus disposal cost. Multiple factors were utilized to rank decanting facility location options for each District in Ohio. Metal adsorption media testing showed significant removal of many heavy metals and operational observations at the new prototype facility showed promise for effectively managing these waste materials.
