Summary of Institutional Issues
The paper presents a summary of three other papers presented at the meeting on institutional aspects of stormwater quality planning. The three papers represented views expressed by representatives...
Source Control of Oil and Grease in an Urban Area
We explored a variety of techniques to remove oil and grease from urban stormwater runoff. Previous work has shown that relatively high concentrations and substantial mass loadings of...
Program to Reduce Deicing Chemical Usage
Over the years (since about 1948), the dependency on deicing chemicals has been increased to provide 'bare pavement' for safe and efficient winter transportation....
Source Tracing of Toxicants in Storm Drains
Sources of toxic chemicals in storm drains are often difficult to locate and even more difficult to control. Receiving environment chemistry, storm drainage maps, land use information,...
Long-Term Effects of Urban Stormwater on Wetlands
In 1986 scientists and managers associated with local, state, and federal agencies that have wetland protection and stormwater management responsibilities in the region joined to consider...
Future of Quality Assurance
There is an increasing awareness by the State highway agencies of the need for quality in construction. In addition, there is a recognition that quality management programs can be beneficial...
Program on Advanced Technology for the Highway (PATH)
This paper describes a program of research, development and demonstration of advanced technologies for the automobile/highway system created in California, under the general direction...
Design of Urban Runoff Quality Controls
This book describes current practice in the design of pollution controls for urban runoff. The contents comprise the proceedings of an Engineering Foundation Conference held in July 1988,...
Systems for Artificial Recharge of Ground Water
Design and management of infiltration systems should be adapted to local conditions of water quality, climate, soil, hydrogeology, and environmental constraints. Aspects to be considered...
The Economic factors of Ground Water Recharge Projects
As a result of the Water Conservation and Water Quality Bond Law of 1986, the State of California is now providing low interest loans to local water agencies to finance ground water recharge...
Ground Water Recharge and Management Under the Small Reclamation Projects Act
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation through its Small Reclamation Loan Program is providing needed Federal financial and technical assistance to water users in Southern California to help ease...
Reclamation's Recharge Projects: California-Nevada
Under the High Plains States Groundwater Demonstration Program, the Bureau of Reclamation has recommended construction of 21 projects in 17 western states. The projects contain technical...
Feasibility of Artificial Recharge to the Oakes Aquifer, Southeastern North Dakota
Based on measured well yields, initial surface infiltration rates, and ground-water quality, the Oakes aquifer can support a large-scale artificial recharge-irrigation project. An aquifer...
Ground Water Recharge Through Wells
Surface runoff water accumulates in natural depressions called playas on the Southern High Plains; most of it is wasted by evaporation. The water is turbid, but otherwise of good quality...
Wastewater Recharge: Water Quality and Operations
The Green Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility began operations in its current configuration in 1981. It treats approximately 1 million gallons per day of municipal wastewater, with disposal...
Health Effects of Ground Water Recharge
A five year multidisciplinary research project was conducted to evaluate the health significance of using treated wastewater for ground water replenishment. The focus of the study was...
Quality Changes of River Rhine and Meuse Water Upon Basin Recharge in the Netherlands' Coastal Dunes: 30 Years of Experience
A wide spectrum of quality changes of river Rhine and Meuse water is presented, on a global scale after pre-treatment, dune infiltration and post-treatment. Attention is focussed on the...
Ground Water Recharge at United Water Conservation District, Ventura County, California
For more than 60 years United Water Conservation District and its predecessor district have recharged seven ground water basins in Ventura County, California with more than 2,100,000 acre...
Augmenting Water Supply in the Phoenix Area Through Recharge of Surplus Central Arizona Project Water Into the Agua Fria Riverbed
This paper describes the efforts of several months activities in the initial stages of developing a 30,000 feet Demonstration Recharge Facility for surplus Colorado River water on the...
Ogallala Recharge with Stormwater Collected in Playa Lakes
Runoff occurring from this precipitation collects in playa lakes. The bottoms of these lakes are comprised of clays and silts which prevent or retard infiltration in subsequent recharge....
