Pollutant Loadings and Impacts from Highway Stormwater Runoff. Volume 1. Design Procedure

摘要

The study is one of four final documents of an investigation dealing with the characterization of stormwater runoff pollutant loads from highways, and the prediction of water quality impacts they cause. The study results are based on monitoring data from 993 individual storm events at 31 highway runoff sites in 11 states. Impact prediction is based on a methodology previously developed and applied to urban runoff and adapted for highway runoff applications. The document provides a step-by-step procedure for computing the estimated impacts on water quality of a stream or lake that receives highway runoff. The document, Volume 1 includes the design procedure.
