Abstract

Simulated highway runoff was pumped over a well established grassy swale at Maitland Interchange and a newly constructed swale at EPCOT Interchange, near Orlando, Florida to investigate mass transport and removal efficiencies for nutrients and heavy metal concentrations under controlled environments.

Dissolved metal concentrations, particularly those existing in ionic species, were better removed than phosphorus and nitrogen. Nutrient concentrations in highway runoff flowing over roadside swales may increase. However percent mass removal of all pollutants were found to be higher than concentration removal due to infiltration.
