• Abstract:
  The project objective was to conduct a detailed literature review of storm water pollutants and mitigation technologies and synthesize
  
  the information so that INDOT can implement project results into standards. Because it is a municipal separate storm sewer system
  
  (MS4), INDOT is required to minimize storm water pollution. A literature review was carried-out to gauge pollutants examined by other
  
  transportation agencies, the pollutant’s relevance to Indiana roadways, and the effectiveness of storm water pollution minimization best
  
  management practices (BMP). A cost benefit analysis was also conducted for a few BMP devices used in Indiana. Results showed that a
  
  variety of databases contained BMP testing studies and the same type of BMP may not perform similarly at different sites. Some BMPs
  
  can also generate pollutants. Very little BMP design, cost, and performance data were obtained during this study from INDOT and
  
  municipalities contacted due to the organizations being unable to access it. Manufacturer self-reported BMP device performance data
  
  found was not corroborated by independent device testing data. Reliance on manufacturer reported data greatly overestimated the
  
  device’s cost benefit; field validated device performance data are needed. Based on project results INDOT should consider (1)
  
  establishing agency-wide procedures to begin collecting pertinent storm water BMP information from ongoing and planned projects, (2)
  
  surveying which and how many BMPs are under INDOT control, (3) applying caution when estimating BMP performance based on
  
  manufacturer reported data or BMP performance data from other parts of the U.S., (4) conducting a field investigation to determine
  
  pollutant removal effectiveness for select BMPs.
