“…Nitrate concentrations in the captured samples were higher than those in the runoff for eight of the 15 monitored events for 17G, and seven of the 13 monitored events for 17H. Low, and sometimes negative, reduction percentages of nitrate and nitrite were reported in similar previous studies [2,26], and were expected since nitrate removal typically takes place with vegetated filtration and biofilters [25]. All samples from the captured stormwater showed lower concentrations of ammonia when compared with the runoff samples in both GIs, except for three events in 17G, for which the captured samples had slightly higher concentrations of NH 3 .…”

Green infrastructure (GI) stormwater control measures (SCMs), such as permeable pavement systems, are common practices used for controlling stormwater runoff. In this paper, two permeable pavement strips were studied to quantify their water quality performance. The quality monitoring was coupled with comprehensive rainfall analysis to investigate the effects of common rainfall characteristics on the quality performance of the systems. The pavements utilized deep aggregate layers to promote higher infiltration, and were installed in parking lanes of an urban neighborhood. Water quality samples were collected from upgradient stormwater runoff and from stormwater captured by the permeable pavements. In addition to total suspended solids (TSS), nutrients, and dissolved metals, this research also investigated bacterial contamination (Escherichia coli, E. coli). The results indicated that the two permeable pavement systems significantly reduced concentrations of TSS, E. coli, total phosphorus, and ammonia. The average reductions of TSS and E. coli between the two systems were 47% and 69%, respectively. It was also observed that pollutant loadings in the stormwater runoff, as well as pollutant reductions, were affected by the intensity of sampled rainfall events. Thus, it is suggested to consider the effects of rainfall characteristics when reporting the water quality benefits of stormwater GIs.

“…PPS has been shown to not only mitigate stormwater water quantities [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] but water quality as well [1,[8][9][10]. Various types of PPS have seen increasing use in recent years including porous asphalt, porous concrete, and permeable interlocking concrete pavers [11,12].…”

Cell phone images of pervious pavement surfaces were used to explore relationships between surface infiltration rates (SIR) measured using the ASTM C1701 standard test and using a simple falling head test. A fiber-reinforced porous asphalt surface and a highly permeable material comprised of stone, rubber and a polymer binder (Porous Pave) were tested. Images taken with a high-resolution cellphone camera were acquired as JPEG files and converted to gray scale images in Matlab ® for analysis. The distribution of gray levels was compared to the surface infiltration rates obtained for both pavements with attention given to the mean of the distribution. Investigation into the relationships between mean SIR and parameters determined from the gray level distribution produced in the image analysis revealed that mean SIR measured in both pavements were proportional to the inverse of the mean of the distribution. The relationships produced a coefficient of determination over 85% using both the ASTM and the falling head test in the porous asphalt surface. SIR measurements determined with the ASTM method were highly correlated with the inverse mean of the distribution of gray levels in the Porous Pave material as well, producing coefficients of determination of over 90% and Kendall's tau-b of roughly 70% for nonparametric data.

“…Low-impact development (LID) technologies, such as rain gardens, green roofs, and rainwater harvesting, are decentralized alternatives that control stormwater runoff and supply water on site. Many studies describe how LID technologies control the rate and volume of stormwater runoff, and prevent degradation of surface water quality and aquatic habitats [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Additionally, implementing LID technologies creates green spaces, which reduce heat stress mortality, and increase property value and recreational opportunities [11,12].…”
