Preliminary Assessment of Environmentally-Sound Methods for Treating and/or Diverting Rainwater Run-Off From Parking Lots and Roads in the Vicinity of Carlsbad Cavern

Excerpt from Preliminary Assessment of Environmentally-Sound Methods for Treating and/or Diverting Rainwater Run-Off From Parking Lots and Roads in the Vicinity of Carlsbad Cavern: Draft Report Currently there exists few storm water quality devices in any of the park's drainage systems. Existing accident mitigation procedures are inadequate for large spills and management policies related to storm water quality are required to reduce the level of pollutant generation. This study examined the pollutant sources that potentially contribute to the pollution detected in storm water run-off and examined various measures to mitigate the contamination problems specific to the pollution type encountered. Specific measures from diversion of run-off to adjacent watersheds to treatment methods are investigated. The effectiveness of each of these methods are evaluated with respect to: pollutant removal efficiencies; disturbance to impacted areas; associated benefits; and construction, maintenance, and engineering costs. Recommended accident mitigation procedures and management policies related to storm water quality are integrated with engineering measures for a comprehensive storm water management approach.
