Based on a 3-year ODOT IVM research project, lessons learned and techniques for innovative and adaptive IVM for diverse midwestern landscapes will be presented that can increase Indiana DOTs’ efficiency and cost-effectiveness and simultaneously improve worker safety, foster safe highway use, improve roadside aesthetics, and promote environmental stewardship

Evaluate and Develop Post-Construction Groundcover That Meets Erosion and Sediment Goals and Is Beneficial to Pollinators [Fact Sheet]

Project 135779The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is constantly looking for ways to reduce maintenance costs following construction using native seed mixes while ensuring all Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) requirements are met. Davey Resource Group \u201cDRG\u201d was contracted by ODOT to develop seed mixes for various habitats and research appropriate establishment and maintenance processes to help accomplish these goals statewide

Catch Basin Inserts for Ohio Roadways

SJN 135444PID 103684Detailed evaluation of roadside catch basin inserts (CBIs) for the removal of TSS. Study consisted of both field and laboratory testing. Field testing evaluated the installation, maintenance and removal needs for CBIs during a year-long installation period. The Lab testing evaluated the sediment retention associated with each CBI. Since none of the units met both the sediment removal and installation requirements, and due to the high effort and cost to maintain, the CBIs tested do not appear to be a viable option to be added as post-construction stormwater BMPs for ODOT
