This research program has been funded for more than $2 million/ year since its inception. The office assists Caltrans in planning and managing its storm water management program, and this incorporates characterization monitoring, field testing of best management practices (BMPs), and erosion control. OWP was able to build a small testing facility to evaluate drain insert technologies for treating storm water. This test facility continues to be a major cornerstone in our research program that is of interest to government agencies and industry as a potential center for evaluation and certification of new storm water treatment technologies. The office conducted these research projects utilizing a multidisciplinary team that included faculty from the departments of Civil Engineering, Chemistry, and Economics, OWP research staff (engineers and scientists), and students (graduate and undergraduate) from the Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, and Graphic Design departments.
