Management of Contaminated Runoff Water: Current Practice and Future Research Needs
A Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) task group, TG I5 (Water Quality), led by Norway and with members from Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland was formed in 2013. The group sought to provide answers to the following questions: (1) When should contaminated runoff water be treated to meet the requirements in relevant EU directives (e.g. the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD))? (2) What is the best practice when treatment is mandatory? (3) What will the research needs on these matters be within the next decade? The work was divided into two subtasks; A state-of-the art report (SoAR), covering questions 1 and 2. and Research needs, covering question 3. The present report compiles the results of both subtasks and aims to review current practice regarding the management of contaminated runoff water during the planning, construction, and operation of roads by European National Road Administrations (NRAs). It also examines whether current management is compliant with the requirements of the WFD. The report also presents future research needs. The content of this report is based on findings and information gained through discussions during meetings, country-specific mini-reports on these matters, and a workshop with invited NRA experts from Germany, Poland, and the UK.
