This report presents guidance for the selection of best management practices (BMPs) for highway runoff control. These practices provide means of avoiding or mitigating the negative impacts of various pollutants that can be carried by rainfall into the groundwater and receiving waters. These pollutants include materials discharged by vehicles using the highway system, pesticides and fertilizers from adjacent landscapes, and particulates from breakdown of the pavements themselves. BMPs include the traditional treatments applied at or near the sources of the pollutants and a more distributed approach known as low-impact development (LID). This report should be a valuable resource for all highway agencies that must evaluate and select the most effective and efficient means of managing pollution related to stormwater from highways.
