The research team constructed a full-scale testing facility on Ohio State's University's campus to simulate stormwater runoff and sediment loading of a typical roadway construction project. Commonly available manufactured inlet protection products were compared to Ohio Environmental Protection Agency approved practices through a combination of performance and longevity testing. Based on the test results, the research team identified performance measures and material specifications of inlet protection devices to be used in developing a qualified product database and a procedure for assessing future devices. The research team also recommended new and updated inlet protection guidance for incorporation into ODOT's design document
