The Oklahoma Department of Tranportation (ODOT) uses best management practices (BMPs) to control and manage storm water. These include structural devices, maintenance procedures, and management practices that prevent or reduce the harmful effects of storm water runoff, such as pollution, erosion and flooding. BMPs may include:
- Detention and infiltration ponds, wide grass ditches, catch basins, and culverts
- Maintenance operations that keep highways clean of sand, litter and debris that could make its way into streams and rivers
- Increasing the monitoring and maintenance frequency of structural BMPs.
