• Abstract:
  Management of truck wash water generated at DOT maintenance facilities without access to sanitary sewer can be costly. Strategies for managing this waste stream, including collection and direct disposal, reuse with and without treatment, and tying into the sanitary sewer were identified and evaluated. The results of truck wash water quality monitoring at 24 maintenance facilities indicated that heavy metals concentrations exceeded the established reuse limits in Ohio at many garages. Pilot scale testing indicated that media filtration and particulate settling may be adequate to reduce heavy metals concentrations to acceptable levels for reuse of wash water.
