Abstract

This paper highlights a multiyear program of research envisioned by the FHWA to continue the study of water quality associated with highway stormwater runoff. The paper lists proposed studies to examine runoff constituents, monitoring equipment, best management practices, effects on receiving waters, and area-wide impact assessment. It was presented before the Transportation Research Board Committee on Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Water Quality.
