Information gathered from existing and innovative pollution control technologies for highway runoff was used to evaluate best management practices based upon performance, cost, maintenance, failure rates, site requirements, soil characteristics, surface slopes, depth to water table, drainage area, and space availability. The search focused on 12 technologies: source reduction, wetlands, wet detention ponds, dry detention ponds, Compost Stormwater Filters, sand filters, grass filter strips, grass swales, porous pavement, oil grit separators, and infiltration systems and included data from recent research projects. Porous pavement, oil grit separators, and infiltration systems were found to have a low potential for use because of difficulties associated with performance, maintenance, and cost. The remaining nonpoint source pollution control methods displayed variable potential in the physiographic regions analyzed: New Jersey's four physiographic regions (Inner/Outer Coastal Plains, Piedmont, Highlands, and Valley and Ridge).
