Permeable Pavement Use and Research at Two Sites in Eastern North Carolina
Two types of permeable pavement were installed in urbanized areas of Eastern North Carolina and tested for runoff reduction. The first installation is a block paver with approximately 40% open space overlying a bedding layer of sand and washed marl. The second is a 150-mm (six-inch) thick porous concrete installation. Each site was constructed on sandy soil, which would provide little impediment to infiltration. The first site was tested from 1999 through 2001 and was found to substantially decrease runoff. Runoff coefficients for this installation of block paver were found to range from 0.20 to 0.50. The porous (or permeable) concrete parking lot was constructed in late 2001 and has just begun to be monitored. Initial results show a reduction in runoff, but no substantive numerical results are available as of March 2002.
