Abstract

This research produced a manual that combines the results of past research on highway runoff and water resources. The single-volume manual is useful to highway designers and environmental professionals because it presents the available and appropriate impact prediction and mitigation tools for use during highway project planning and development activities. This manual is a self-contained desk reference for highway practitioners and includes an extensive bibliography.

Abstract

The CD-ROM contains a searchable database of a national list of noxious weed species that are important considerations in roadside vegetation management programs. The CD-ROM-based application can be used to gain background information on species identification, management, and control strategies. The CD-ROM is the part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Plant Management Information System (PMIS).
