State DOTs are responsible for managing stormwater runoff to comply with pollutant load regulations. A new report from TRB focuses on engineering and infrastructure strategies and recommends action that can help.

Updated modeling options, acknowledging the difference in pollutant sources, and participating in watershed-scale alternatives may also get us to the right outcome.

The report also identifies areas for collaboration between state DOTs, the , and officials along with state environmental authorities. These partnerships could result in improved design, construction, and maintenance procedures and guidance. Furthermore, engagement between the agencies early in the process, and longer opportunities for public participation can account for concerns specific to different parts of a watershed to more holistically manage pollutants.
