Abstract
The objective of the present study is to improve the removal of nitrogen in stormwater runoff by modifying the permeable pavement structure. To achieve this, different mechanisms for nitrogen attenuation such as nitrification and denitrification, ion exchange and adsorption have been promoted in the permeable pavement structure. Treatment performances of these columns were monitored over a 6-month period of dosing with synthetic stormwater maintaining a rainfall intensity and duration at 40 mm / 4 hours. Results confirm that stormwater treatment performance of permeable pavement systems can be significantly improved by changing the layer setting of the pavement subbase. The modified permeable pavement structure will have wider application in urban stormwater management.
