Roadway Runoff Impacts to Trout Streams Studies for MS4 Permit

The objectives are to prepare and implement a study plan that evaluates the impacts of roadway runoff through Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) outfalls to trout streams with the focus on impacts to temperature and DO levels, and to determine if GDOT roadway runoff discharges are impacting trout streams and if so, to determine best management practices (BMPs) that can be used to mitigate these impacts.
