TYPES OF OFF-ROW INFLUENCES
• Brings excess water to road area–Saturates road base–Creates potholes– Increases erosion in road ditches
• Transports unwanted sediment to the road drainage system
• Lack of smooth vehicle transitions cause damage to roadway

Simply doing the work quietly……..
RESULTS:• Make friends with lawyers• Can weaken relationships with
constituents• May limit scope of work possible

Prior to working off of the Right-of-Way:
• Talk with and gain approval of landowner
• Announce intentions and reasons at monthly public meeting

WHEN:
• Unwanted sheet flow is entering road area
• A safe and stable outlet is available for swale
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES
PROS:– Improved drainage of surrounding land– Diverts water from road drainage system– Prevents water from eroding bank– Should not interfere with property use
CONS:– Concentrates surface water (need stable outlet)– Landowner issues
