Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices. Topic 55-07. Stormwater Retrofit Programs and Practices Through Third-Party Partnerships

Due to the lack of stormwater control facilities on many existing highways, some state departments of transportation (DOTs) are required to retrofit the stormwater system with improved flow control and treatment facilities to comply with regulatory requirements. The main drivers include National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permits, state water quality/stormwater regulations, Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation, and/or Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) prescribed actions. As stormwater runoff quality and quantity are increasingly being addressed, state DOTs are seeking information on effective watershed-based strategies. To comply with regulatory requirements in a more cost-effective manner, some DOTs have partnered with third parties, or are considering doing so. However, due to a lack of guidelines, state DOTs are devising diverse mechanisms to implement these partnerships. The objective of this synthesis project is to document practices used by state DOTs regarding stormwater retrofit partnerships with third parties.
