These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Barrett, Michael %E Katz, Lynn %E Taylor, Scott %E Sansalone, John %E Stevenson, Marty %T Measuring and Removing Dissolved Metals from Stormwater in Highly Urbanized Areas %D 2014 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22389/measuring-and-removing-dissolved-metals-from-stormwater-in-highly-urbanized-areas %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22389/measuring-and-removing-dissolved-metals-from-stormwater-in-highly-urbanized-areas %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 172 %X TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 767: Measuring and Removing Dissolved Metals from Stormwater in Highly Urbanized Areas presents prototype best management practices (BMPs) for the removal of dissolved metals in stormwater runoff.The report presents three conceptual configurations in detail: two vault system configurations for urban and rural settings, and an inlet scupper with media for bridge deck drainage systems.The report also includes standard protocols to accurately measure the levels of dissolved metals in stormwater.

This discrepancy was due, in part, to the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency's analysis considered only the incremental cost of reducing nutrients in waters it considered "newly impaired" as a result of the new criteria-not the total cost of improving water quality in Florida. The incremental approach is appropriate for this type of assessment, but the Environmental Protection Agency's cost analysis would have been more accurate if it better described the differences between the new numeric criteria rule and the narrative rule it would replace, and how the differences affect the costs of implementing nutrient reductions over time, instead of at a fixed time point. Such an analysis would have more accurately described which pollutant sources, for example municipal wastewater treatment plants or agricultural operations, would bear the costs over time under the different rules and would have better illuminated the uncertainties in making such cost estimates. %0 Book %A National Research Council %T Review of the St. Johns River Water Supply Impact Study: Report 3 %D 2010 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/13052/review-of-the-st-johns-river-water-supply-impact-study %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/13052/review-of-the-st-johns-river-water-supply-impact-study %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Earth Sciences %K Environment and Environmental Studies %P 41 %X The St. Johns River Water Management District in northeast Florida is studying the feasibility of withdrawing water from the St. Johns River for the purpose of augmenting future public water supply.

This book concludes that artificial recharge can be one option in an integrated strategy to optimize total water resource management and that in some cases impaired-quality water can be used effectively as a source for artificial recharge of ground water aquifers. Source water quality characteristics, pretreatment and recharge technologies, transformations during transport through the soil and aquifer, public health issues, economic feasibility, and legal and institutional considerations are addressed. The book evaluates three main types of impaired quality water sources—treated municipal wastewater, stormwater runoff, and irrigation return flow—and describes which is the most consistent in terms of quality and quantity. Also included are descriptions of seven recharge projects. %0 Book %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Using Graywater and Stormwater to Enhance Local Water Supplies: An Assessment of Risks, Costs, and Benefits %@ 978-0-309-38835-1 %D 2016 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/21866/using-graywater-and-stormwater-to-enhance-local-water-supplies-an %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/21866/using-graywater-and-stormwater-to-enhance-local-water-supplies-an %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Earth Sciences %K Environment and Environmental Studies %P 223 %X Chronic and episodic water shortages are becoming common in many regions of the United States, and population growth in water-scarce regions further compounds the challenges. Increasingly, alternative water sources such as graywater-untreated wastewater that does not include water from the toilet but generally includes water from bathroom sinks, showers, bathtubs, clothes washers, and laundry sinks- and stormwater-water from rainfall or snow that can be measured downstream in a pipe, culvert, or stream shortly after the precipitation event-are being viewed as resources to supplement scarce water supplies rather than as waste to be discharged as rapidly as possible. Graywater and stormwater can serve a range of non-potable uses, including irrigation, toilet flushing, washing, and cooling, although treatment may be needed. Stormwater may also be used to recharge groundwater, which may ultimately be tapped for potable use. In addition to providing additional sources of local water supply, harvesting stormwater has many potential benefits, including energy savings, pollution prevention, and reducing the impacts of urban development on urban streams. Similarly, the reuse of graywater can enhance water supply reliability and extend the capacity of existing wastewater systems in growing cities. Despite the benefits of using local alternative water sources to address water demands, many questions remain that have limited the broader application of graywater and stormwater capture and use. In particular, limited information is available on the costs, benefits, and risks of these projects, and beyond the simplest applications many state and local public health agencies have not developed regulatory frameworks for full use of these local water resources. To address these issues, Using Graywater and Stormwater to Enhance Local Water Supplies analyzes the risks, costs, and benefits on various uses of graywater and stormwater. This report examines technical, economic, regulatory, and social issues associated with graywater and stormwater capture for a range of uses, including non-potable urban uses, irrigation, and groundwater recharge. Using Graywater and Stormwater to Enhance Local Water Supplies considers the quality and suitability of water for reuse, treatment and storage technologies, and human health and environmental risks of water reuse. The findings and recommendations of this report will be valuable for water managers, citizens of states under a current drought, and local and state health and environmental agencies. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Lantin, Anna %E Larsen, Laura %E Vyas, Ankita %E Barrett, Michael %E Leisenring, Marc %E Koryto, Kevin %E Pechacek, Linda %T Approaches for Determining and Complying with TMDL Requirements Related to Roadway Stormwater Runoff %D 2019 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25473/approaches-for-determining-and-complying-with-tmdl-requirements-related-to-roadway-stormwater-runoff %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25473/approaches-for-determining-and-complying-with-tmdl-requirements-related-to-roadway-stormwater-runoff %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 144 %X State DOTs are increasingly subject to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for water quality improvement that are implemented through National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.As a result, state DOTs may incur significant costs to construct, operate, maintain, and monitor performance of best management practices and other stormwater treatment facilities that treat stormwater from sources outside the right-of-way, as well as stormwater from roadway sources.TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 918: Approaches for Determining and Complying with TMDL Requirements Related to Roadway Stormwater Runoff describes how to evaluate TMDLs and develop a plan to comply with the requirements of a TMDL.

Other problems such as acid mine drainage are a legacy of the region's past coal mining, heavy industry, and manufacturing economy. Currently, water planning and management in southwestern Pennsylvania is highly fragmented; federal and state governments, 11 counties, hundreds of municipalities, and other entities all play roles, but with little coordination or cooperation. The report finds that a comprehensive, watershed-based approach is needed to effectively meet water quality standards throughout the region in the most cost-effective manner.

However, excessive amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment from human activities and land development have disrupted the ecosystem, causing harmful algae blooms, degraded habitats, and diminished populations of many species of fish and shellfish. In 1983, the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) was established, based on a cooperative partnership among the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state of Maryland, and the commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the District of Columbia, to address the extent, complexity, and sources of pollutants entering the Bay. In 2008, the CBP launched a series of initiatives to increase the transparency of the program and heighten its accountability and in 2009 an executive order injected new energy into the restoration. In addition, as part of the effect to improve the pace of progress and increase accountability in the Bay restoration, a two-year milestone strategy was introduced aimed at reducing overall pollution in the Bay by focusing on incremental, short-term commitments from each of the Bay jurisdictions. The National Research Council (NRC) established the Committee on the Evaluation of Chesapeake Bay Program Implementation for Nutrient Reduction in Improve Water Quality in 2009 in response to a request from the EPA. The committee was charged to assess the framework used by the states and the CBP for tracking nutrient and sediment control practices that are implemented in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and to evaluate the two-year milestone strategy. The committee was also to assess existing adaptive management strategies and to recommend improvements that could help CBP to meet its nutrient and sediment reduction goals. The committee did not attempt to identify every possible strategy that could be implemented but instead focused on approaches that are not being implemented to their full potential or that may have substantial, unrealized potential in the Bay watershed. Because many of these strategies have policy or societal implications that could not be fully evaluated by the committee, the strategies are not prioritized but are offered to encourage further consideration and exploration among the CBP partners and stakeholders. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Davis, Allen P. %E Aydilek, Ahmet %E Felton, Gary K. %E Forgione, Erica R. %T Achieving Highway Runoff Volume and Pollutant Reduction Using Vegetated Compost Blankets: A Guide %D 2023 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27032/achieving-highway-runoff-volume-and-pollutant-reduction-using-vegetated-compost-blankets-a-guide %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27032/achieving-highway-runoff-volume-and-pollutant-reduction-using-vegetated-compost-blankets-a-guide %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 230 %X Vegetated filter strips along highways, an accepted low-impact development best management practice (BMP), are a cost-effective alternative to hydraulically engineered BMPs.

In 1987, Congress significantly expanded the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program through amendments to the Clean Water Act to include industrial stormwater runoff conveyed through outfalls directly to receiving waters or indirectly through municipal separate storm sewer systems. The added regulation of stormwater in the NPDES program has been challenging. Stormwater is produced throughout a developed landscape, and its production and delivery are episodic. In 2009, the National Research Council released a comprehensive report on the Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Program that covered all sectors of the program. This study builds on that report, with a focus on industrial stormwater monitoring and management.
