TRB Webinar: Complying with TMDL Requirements Related to Roadway Stormwater Runoff

Water management professionals were invited to a TRB webinar on Thursday, October 31, 2019, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET. The webinar featured research from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s Research Report 918: Approaches for Determining and Complying with TMDL Requirements Related to Roadway Stormwater Runoff.

Transportation agencies across the country are required to comply with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) mandates to address water quality requirements. TMDL compliance is a legally enforced time-schedule-order and can be resource-intensive, but if planned and implemented well, compliance can be incorporated into day-to-day transportation business and operation practices. This webinar provided background information and discuss strategies on compliance. Presenters described development of a TMDL program as well as tools and methods for tracking compliance. They also shared lessons learned from examples of state TMDL programs.

The slides are available. Contact TRB webinar for a copy of the recorded webinar.
