Abstract Details

2012, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Civil Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
The exfiltration trench (ExT) is one of the BMPs that the Ohio department of Transportation (ODOT) is using to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff. A 1-year study was conducted on an ExT located in Reno, OH. Samples from the stormwater runoff and trench's effluent were collected. These samples were tested for water quality parameters (COD, turbidity, oil and grease). The results showed that the ExT was able to reduce COD in the runoff by 24.5%, turbidity by 33.9%, while oil and grease removal was indeterminable. Maintenance was necessary to remove accumulated sediments which caused clogging of the porous concrete surface. However, pollutants removal after maintenance did not improve considerably. Using total suspended solids and COD data, the first flush (FF) volume was estimated. The required length of the ExT to capture the FF was estimated by numerical solution. The solution showed that the required length was much larger than the length estimated using ODOT's equations.
