Protecting surrounding areas and implementing stormwater management reduce the potential for polluted stormwater to flow into receiving waters. Construction stormwater management practices protect surface and downstream water bodies from discharge and runoff.

Moreover, the CGP is required for every highway construc tion project, which the state regulatory or environmental agency typically administers. Some state DOTs also comply with MS4 permit requirements for construction stormwater management, typically addressing the construction site runoff minimum control measure program requirements.

In the case examples, state DOTs mentioned that the SWPPP is a requirement that must be prepared before receiving permit authorization from the state regulatory agency as part of the CGP. Various DOT divisions, offices, and departments are involved in construction stormwater management, including the following: • Construction (41 of 42 DOTs, 98%)

To improve state DOT practices, tools, and approaches for managing compliance with state and federal construction stormwater permit requirements, future research is suggested for the following areas: • Develop guidelines for construction stormwater management programs, including alter native contracting methods (e.g., design-build, construction manager, general contrac tor) , uniformity in training and certifications, phasing approaches to minimize ground disturbances during construction, monitoring discharges during construction, and tech nologies, programs, and applications used for construction stormwater management.
