Characterization of Sediment Loads and Size Distributions in Nebraska Roadway Runoff - Phase 2

The goal of this project is to expand current research of sediment runoff (both concentrations and size distributions) from roadways to include data from additional districts and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) communities. The additional data will aid in more effective design of sediment removal systems so that installation and maintenance costs can be optimized. Because the design of inline sediment removal systems requires detailed information about sediment sizes and quantities, collection of data from four additional locations will improve the reliability of system installations so that they function well for MS4 communities in parts of the state that are distinct from those sampled during the initial project.
