“…Although this is substantially more runoff than reported by Brattebo and Booth (2003), it was still 72% less than the runoff depth from a nearby asphalt driveway. In addition, concentrations of all pollutants measured (TSS, NO 3 -N, NH 3 -N, TKN, TP, Cu, Pb and Zn) were significantly lower in runoff from the UNI EcoStone® driveways than in runoff from the asphalt driveways (Gilbert and Clausen 2006). As would be expected, due to lower concentrations and runoff volumes, mass export for all of the pollutants was also lower for the Eco-Stone® driveways than the asphalt driveways (Gilbert and Clausen 2006).…”

“…UNI Eco-Stone® was also monitored in Connecticut, where runoff depth from the paver surface was 40% of precipitation depth for the 22-month study (Gilbert and Clausen 2006). Although this is substantially more runoff than reported by Brattebo and Booth (2003), it was still 72% less than the runoff depth from a nearby asphalt driveway.…”

“…Permeable pavement surfaces in conjunction with swales demonstrated the best overall pollutant removal efficiencies of up to 90% although phosphorus loads (orthophosphate and TP) were enhanced by the presence of vegetated swales. A similar comparison of surface types was conducted by Gilbert and Clausen (2006) for residential driveways and for these relatively small drainage areas the order of decreasing runoff volume was found to be asphalt>permeable paving>crushed stone. Runoff from permeable paving driveways contained significantly lower concentrations of all monitored pollutants (TSS, metals, nutrients) except for TP which was lowest from the crushed stone surface.…”

Traffic emissions contribute significantly to the build-up of diffuse pollution loads on urban surfaces with their subsequent mobilisation and direct discharge posing problems for receiving water quality. This review focuses on the impact and mitigation of solids, metals, nutrients and organic pollutants in the runoff deriving from car parks. Variabilities in the discharged pollutant levels and in the potentials for pollutant mitigation complicate an impact assessment of car park runoff. The different available stormwater best management practices and proprietary devices are reported to be capable of reductions of between 20% and almost 100% for both suspended solids and a range of metals. This review contributes to prioritising the treatment options which can achieve the appropriate pollutant reductions whilst conforming to the site requirements of a typical car park. By applying different treatment scenarios to the runoff from a hypothetical car park, it is shown that optimal performance, in terms of ecological benefits for the receiving water, can be achieved using a treatment train incorporating permeable paving and bioretention systems. The review identifies existing research gaps and emphasises the pertinent management practices as well as design issues which are relevant to the mitigation of car park pollution.

“…Rainfall has influenced the nutrients of the rivers in the Yongding Diversion Channel (Wang et al 2014), and wet N deposition is extremely serious, at approximately 30.6 N ha −1 year −1 (Liu et al 2006), thus indicating that runoff pollution is important to managing the quality of receiving waters for Beijing. However, considerable data exist on the concentrations of N and P in urban runoff (Gilbert and Clausen 2006;Li et al 2007;Roberts et al 2009;Taylor et al 2005) and on the buildup of nutrients Chiew 2002, 2004); knowledge regarding the basic their wash-off state in urban runoff currently remains limited, especially for Beijing. This study investigates SS, N, and P concentrations in roof and road runoffs in Beijing, China.…”

Roofs and roads, accounting for a large portion of the urban impervious land surface, have contributed significantly to urban nonpoint pollution. In this study, in Beijing, China, roof and road runoff are sampled to measure the suspended solids (SS), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contained in particles with different sizes. The SS content in the road runoff (151.59 mg/L) was sevenfold that in the roof runoff (21.13 mg/L, p<0.05). The SS contained more coarse particulates in the roof runoff than in road runoff. The small particulates in the range of 0.45-50 μm consisted of 59 % SS in the roof runoff and 94 % SS in the road runoff. P was mainly attached to particle sizes of 10-50 μm in the roof (73 %) and road (48 %) runoffs, while N was mainly in a dissolved phase state in both runoffs. So, the different associations of N and P raise a challenge in preventing stormwater pollution in urban environments.
