Abstract:

Managers and engineers at the Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA) and State Departments of

Transportation (DOTs) indicate that they need researchers,

employees, consultants, and regulators who understand the

unique challenges involved in managing and mitigating

stormwater runoff and water quality for transportation

projects. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation

with the FHWA developed the Stochastic Empirical Loading

and Dilution Model (SELDM) and the tools and training to

use the model for highway research, planning, analysis, and

environmental review. SELDM is nominally a highway-runoff

model, but it also can be used to model urban runoff quality.

Although many colleges have civil-environmental

engineering departments, the environmental-engineering

curricula commonly are focused on municipal and industrial

wastewater treatment and complex modeling methods.

Research indicates that it may take 3 to 10 hours of

curricula-development time to deliver one hour of

classroom instruction. The FHWA and USGS currently (2017)

are cooperating to provide SELDM training materials for use

in upper-level undergraduate and graduate environmental

engineering and science courses.
