Abstract

The assessment techniques described in this PART are directed at maintaining the quality of controlled waters associated with trunk road and motorway projects in the UK but are equally applicable to any project where surface or groundwater resources are affected by road runoff. Traditionally, roads have not been regarded as a major source of pollution and surface water runoff has been allowed to discharge often rapidly, with no or minimal treatment. Pollution from road drainage can arise from a variety of sources: these include accidents, general vehicle and road degradation, incomplete fuel combustion and small oil or fuel leaks.
