Abstract:

Achieving PennDOT’s MS4 and Chesapeake Bay goals can be challenging and costly. Stream restoration projects have been shown to be largely successful in reducing a significant amount of sediment and nutrients to improve water quality, at a more reasonable cost per unit of TMDL credit over most stormwater practices. Most DOTs do not own right-of-way (ROW) that includes entire uninterrupted reaches of streams but often have streams crossing through the ROW or running parallel to the ROW. For this reason, DOT partnering with neighboring property owners and local municipalities/counties is a prudent and cost-effective means to implement stream restoration projects to achieve TMDL credits. This document includes a literature review on stream restoration partnerships and project delivery methods. Its primary purpose is to provide PennDOT with a guidance document on how PennDOT and municipalities can work together to deliver and share MS4 sediment reduction load crediting from stream restoration.
