2286 Compost Filter Socks for Storm Water and Erosion Control in Construction |
摘要: |
An update to the Standards Specifications for Highway Construction of
erosion and sediment control measures through the Storm Water Action Team is ongoing. Part of
this update includes reviewing and evaluating new erosion control products like compost filter
socks. It is not known if compost filter socks can function effectively as an erosion control product
without leaching contaminants to the environment. Research in conjunction with laboratory and data
analysis are needed to determine if compost filter socks do leach contaminants under conditions
identified at transportation construction sites in Oklahoma. This project will develop and refine a
simplified laboratory method for determining leaching potential of compost filter socks at Oklahoma
construction sites. This new standard will then be utilized to test various compost filter sock
compositions for leaching of contaminants. A cost-benefit analysis will be performed to compare
the use of compost filter socks to current practices. Results from field monitoring of filter sock
implementation will be used to inform the ODOT Storm Water Action Team for development of a
standard and specification to use on ODOT construction sites. |
