Abstract

The stormwater runoff from paved area are highly polluted because of particulate materials as well as metals from various vehicular activities. The Division of Road Maintenance in Ministry of Construction and Transportation was recently developed the Guidelines of Environment-kindly Road Maintenance. It is actually requiring the BMP construction to control the nonpoint source pollution as based on the TMDL program. This research is carried out in order to define the characteristics of stormwater runoff from the toll-gate of highways since 2006, which is actually one of the main pollutant sources of paved areas. This monitoring is the first phase work for establishing the treatment facilities in the toll-gates. The one of the main characteristics from toll-gate runoff is the first flush phenomenon containing lots of sediments and metal compounds at the beginning of a storm event. Usually it is used to determine the size of treatment facilities and to calculate the reduced pollutant mass in the facility. The research results shows that the mean EMC vaules for heavy metals are determined to $274.3{\mu}g/L$ for Cd, $1,273.4{\mu}g/L$ for Cr, $1,822.0{\mu}g/L$ for Cu, $6,504.9{\mu}g/L$ for Fe, $14,930.3{\mu}g/L$ for Pb, and $714.1{\mu}g/L$ for Zn. Also the metal mass loadings from the toll-gates are calculated using EMC, watershed area and storm duration.
