Abstract:The use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) is required for all Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) maintained facilities where an improvement project results in a land disturbance greater than one acre (0.4 ha). Current ODOT policy requires 20% of existing impervious areas to be treated using a BMP, while 100% of new impervious areas are to be treated with BMPs. The various BMPs are generally designed to treat the water quality volume. In Ohio, the water quality volume volume is based on 0.75 in (1.91 cm) of precipitation. This water quality volume is defined in the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit (CGP) of 2008 as the volume of storm runoff that must be captured and treated from the site after construction is complete. As specified by law, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) requires that ODOT implement best management practices (BMPs) that reduce pollution from storm water runoff on linear transportation systems sold after March 10, 2006.
