Abstract:

Construction of roads exposes large areas of soil which can lead to high erosion rates. Current best management practices are good at keeping larger sized particles on-site, but smaller particles still remain a problem for construction site stormwater discharges. Turbid water leaving construction sites can have detrimental impacts for the surrounding environment, especially for aquatic organisms such as mussels. Polyacrylamide (PAM) has been shown to help reduce turbidity of construction site stormwater.
