In recognition of the importance of storm water quality management in the highway environment, the National Cooperative Research Program sponsored this Project 25-20(01) to prepare guidance for evaluation and selection of best management practice (BMP) and low impact development (LID) facilities in the highway environment. The focus is upon 'large, linear highway systems,' e.g., freeways, expressways, interstates, and major DOT highways, as opposed to the broader urban transportation system. The set of three reports is intended to provide guidance in less (User's Guide, LID Design Manual) or more (Research Report) theoretical detail for selection of BMP/LID facilities in the highway environment. The principal target audience for the Research Report is technical and research oriented, e.g., storm water experts in DOTs, regulatory agencies and the academic research community. The User's Guide is intended to be a concise BMP/LID evaluation procedure that may be used by highway engineers across the country as a means for selection and design of a particular BMP or LID facility for a site. The target audience for this product consists of knowledgeable engineers (drainage engineers, environmental engineers, etc.) who make BMP selection decisions. Similarly, the target audience for this LID Design Manual consists of knowledgeable engineers (drainage engineers, environmental engineers etc.) who make LID design decisions, both within departments of transportation and for consultants. For eleven LID options, this Manual includes information on applicability, siting, materials, hydrology, hydraulics, safety, maintenance, costs, structural integrity, and effectiveness with regard to targeted pollutants. As a detailed manual that includes specifications, typical figures, etc. it will serve to help educate engineers in these techniques.
