Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

B-1 APPENDIX B BRIEF LISTING OF GUIDELINES AND PROTOCOLS FOR HIGHWAY RUNOFF CHARACTERIZATION AND MANAGEMENT This appendix describes manuals that provide guidance on monitoring highway runoff, designing stormwater control facilities or programs, evaluating BMP performance, or gen- eral stormwater management. This is not an attempt to include all available guidance manuals relevant to highway runoff characterization and management, but rather to provide a list of some of the more recent and comprehensive documents that can be used by highway stormwater professionals. Note that some documents span multiple subject areas and there- fore may be listed more than once. B.1 GENERAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND REGULATORY POLICIES GUIDANCE Water Quality Standards Inventory Database The database consists of water quality objectives (numeric or narrative limits) and beneficial uses that have been estab- lished by each Regional Board for California surface waters. http://endeavor.des.ucdavis.edu/wqsid Screening Quick Reference Tables NOAA has developed a set of Screening Quick Reference Tables (SQuiRTs) that present screening concentrations for inorganic and organic contaminants in various environmen- tal media. The SQuiRTs also include guidelines for preserv- ing samples and analytical technique options. http://response. restoration.noaa.gov/cpr/sediment/squirt/squirt.html National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI) The tool is a free web-based online clearinghouse of envi- ronmental monitoring methods. The NEMI database con- tains chemical, microbiological and radiochemical method summaries of lab and field protocols for regulatory and non- regulatory water quality analyses. It is searchable over the World Wide Web, providing up-to-date methods information through a standard Internet connection and browser. By visit- ing http://www.nemi.gov users can access directly current methods information. In the future, NEMI will be expanded to meet the needs of the monitoring community. For exam- ple, biological methods will be added to NEMI, along with additional field and laboratory methods of importance to the monitoring community. Sediment Toxicity Testing Methods and Data Interpretation Bibliography This resource lists select literature dealing with sediment: (1) toxicity testing, (2) bioaccumulation, (3) sediment quality triad, and (4) sediment quality guidelines. It was prepared for a presentation on “Sediment toxicity testing methods, and data interpretation,” National Environmental Contaminants meet- ing of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Big Cedar Lodge, Missouri, Monday, April 12, 1999; Chris Ingersoll, Columbia Environmental Research Center, USGS, Columbia, MO, chris_ingersoll@usgs.gov; Don MacDonald, MacDonald Environmental Sciences, Ltd., Ladysmith, British Columbia, sff-mesl@island.net.http://www.cerc.cr.usgs.gov/pubs/sedtox/ sedbib.htm B.2 HIGHWAY RUNOFF MONITORING USGS.
