There is not an extensive literature on street sweeping. Much of
the research that has been completed exists in the "gray" area of
technical reports and government documents. Furthermore, a great
deal of this research is locally based, and has not been widely
published. Indeed, our review of the scientific literature,
revealed that, while storm water quality has received a lot of
attention, few academicians have been involved in street sweeping
research per se. Thus, throughout our research into street we
sweeper effectiveness, sweeping protocols, and sweeping practices,
wished that there had been a book summarizing some of the important
issues associated with street sweeping. As our frustration grew, we
realized that we were uniquely poised to write such a book as our
research had encompassed a variety of different projects including
sweeper testing, waste management, and related storm water quality.
Also, early on in this exercise, we recognized that there was a
growing demand for information about street sweeping policies and
management, especially for studies focusing on the effectiveness of
different sweeping schedules, on waste management operations, and
on non-point, pollution reduction practices associated with storm
water runoff. It was abundantly clear that there was a profound
lack of research on street sweeping that could assist with
developing local, regional, or national policies. There was, in
effect, little guidance for city managers on these issues.
