Abstract:

In 1998, North Carolina’s Department of Transportation (DOT) became the first to receive a state-issued statewide stormwater permit. Under the mandate of this permit, a research program was launched to provide needed information on pollutant loading from highway runoff on surface waters. DOT expects that within two years, it will have a database that will allow characterization of runoff from various kinds of highways across the state.
