Research Idea Details

Alternative Basin Designs for Small Bridge Projects and Other Environmentally Sensitive Areas (that would typically require 1.5-inch skimmers with small orifices)

  • Focus Area: Water Quality/Wetlands
  • Status: Archived
  • Subcommittee: Natural Resources
  • Cost: Unknown
  • Timeframe: Unknown

Research Idea Scope

Select several of these small bridges that are being let and re-design, install and monitor the discharge from the standard skimmer basin (x2) vs.  a solid dam with a weir outlet or other (x2).  Basically trying to justify only using 2-inch or greater skimmers on these.
