From page 74...
... The literature review demonstrates that most states have regulatory agencies authorized to implement the NPDES programs on behalf of the EPA and that the state NPDES must be at least as stringent as the federal requirements. In these cases, state DOTs must comply with federal and state-specific requirements.
From page 75...
... Similarities were also found between responding state DOTs related to the common BMPs used for construction stormwater management, such as erosion control logs, check dams, stabilized construction entrances and exits, silt fences and barriers, sediment basins, temporary or permanent hydromulching/seeding, and many more. However, as mentioned earlier, these BMPs may not be referred to with the same name from state to state.
From page 76...
... This situation is indicated by the liquidated damages mechanism in place at Colorado DOT, the requirement to photograph corrective actions by New York State DOT, and DOT and contractor co-permittees, as mentioned by Florida and Texas DOTs. In each case example, interviewees noted that resource constraints limit the time available for the DOT to inspect construction sites for stormwater management.
From page 77...
... Additionally, stormwater management tends to be handled differently for design-build and construction manager/general contractor delivery methods. Investigating different approaches would help DOTs improve stormwater management for innovative contracting projects.
