Construction Stormwater Program Management, Tracking, Reporting, and Compliance

State department of transportation (DOT) construction activities must comply with federal and state National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System construction general permit requirements. The regulations require state DOTs to implement policies, procedures, and practices to minimize offsite discharges of sediment-laden stormwater to protect downstream receiving water bodies during construction. NCHRP Synthesis 648: Construction Stormwater Program Management, Tracking, Reporting, and Compliance, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, documents state DOT practices, tools, and approaches for managing compliance with state and federal construction stormwater permit requirements.
