• Abstract:
  University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center (UNHSC) completed a two year field verification study of a permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) stormwater management system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cold climate functionality of a PICP in an institutional setting. Monitoring took place from October 2010 through April 2012 on the University of New Hampshire (UNH) main campus in Durham, NH. The installation converted Hood House Drive and adjoining J Lot from a standard asphalt surface to a PICP system in the summer of 2010. The pre-existing condition included no stormwater control measures and conveyed surface runoff into the municipal storm sewer. The PICP system was designed by Appledore Engineering, Inc. in association with UNHSC and the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI). An ICPI recommended PICP profile was used for the study site for the drive and a modified section with reservoir was used in the parking area. The treatment area includes direct rainfall over the system area and run-on from three pedestrian walkways and Memorial Union Building Drive. Concrete pavers and the surrounding grassed landscaping are separated by granite curbing. Rainfall is designed to filter down through the PICP system and into an infiltration reservoir. Excess stormwater is drained through internal drainage which discharges subsurface to the municipal storm sewer system.
