Book Description
In order to obtain the detailed information necessary to develop design guidelines for the stormwater best management practices (BMPs) included in the Virginia Department of Transportation's Stormwater Management Manual, a field program was initiated in 1991 for testing the pollutant removal efficiency of selected BMPs. This report summarizes Phase II of this endeavor. A dry detention pond that drained a small, highly impervious area and a vegetated swale that received runoff from an urban highway were examined. Manual and automatic sampling techniques were used to monitor stormwater flowing into and out of the two facilities. Pollutant removal efficiencies were determined using a mass balance method. Pollutants measured were total suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus, and zinc. The results suggest that, if properly designed, these types of facilities can be effective tools for removing stormwater pollution from highway runoff.

Book Description
In order to obtain the necessary detailed design guidelines for storm water best management practices (BMPs) included in the Virginia Department of Transportation's storm water manual, a field program was initiated in 1991 for testing the pollutant removal efficiency of selected practices. A dry detention pond with a small, highly impervious drainage area and a vegetated swale draining runoff from an urban highway were selected for the study. Manual as well as automatic sampling methods were used to monitor storm water runoff into and out of the two facilities. Pollutant removal efficiencies were calculated by a mass balance method. Pollutants examined included total suspended solids, total phosphorus, and total zinc. Preliminary data showed that, if properly designed, these types of facilities can be an effective tool for removing storm water pollution from highway runoff.

Controlling Highway Runoff Pollution in Drinking Water Supply Reservoir Watersheds
Author: Shaw L. Yu
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Drinking water
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This study evaluated the effectiveness of an innovative stormwater best management practice in treating highway runoff and protecting the integrity of the drinking water reservoir in Warrenton, Virginia. The research focused on the use of a biodetention pond, which combines the concepts of detention ponds and bioretention in an attempt to provide higher overall pollutant removal. Storm event and background concentrations were all within or below the expected range for highway runoff pollutants and below Virginia's ambient maximum contamination levels for drinking water. The majority of the pollutant removal efficiencies were below values reported in the literature for well-designed wet/dry detention ponds and bioretention areas. Concentration comparisons for one storm event indicated serious problems with sediment re-suspension or short-circuiting in the biodetention facility. Design recommendations are made to potentially improve pollutant removal in the biodetention facility, and design guidelines are offered for future biodetention pond construction. In spite of pond short-circuiting and re-suspension, the study concludes that the biodetention pond adequately protects the integrity of the Warrenton Reservoir and is an innovative alternative for treating stormwater runoff.
