Abstract
The City of Griffin identified a project
area along Georgia Highway 16 (Taylor Street) for
TEA-21 funding. The project falls under the category
of Transportation Aesthetics Project, specifically,
Mitigation of Water Pollution Due to Highway
Runoff. The purpose of the project is to provide
quantitative data regarding the effectiveness of various
water quality improvement Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for stormwater runoff that originates
along highly developed and urbanized highway
corridors. Based on empirical evidence collected and
analyzed using both traditional and high-tech methods
and procedures, the City of Griffin will endeavor to
show the effectiveness of the proposed BMPs.
Successful implementation of stormwater BMPs
should result in improved water quality, reduction in
pollutant loadings in downstream receiving waters,
improved wildlife habitat, and other associated
environmental benefits.
