Accession Number: 01752530
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Faced with ever-increasing regulatory scrutiny and a realization that traditional stormwater management approaches largely were ineffective in a transportation setting, stormwater professionals at the Alabama Department of Transportation (DOT) began to explore approaches that were outside of those prescribed by regulation and existing guidance materials. Alabama DOT reimagined its approach to stormwater management using the concept of five pillars: (1) manage communication - including communicating with contractors, (2) manage work - including reducing the area of disturbance and duration of disturbance to reduce soil loss, (3) manage water - including keeping run-on and flow-through waters separate from runoff, (4) manage erosion - including studying the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), and (5) manage sediment. This article describes how Alabama DOT arrived at and has implemented these five pillars.
