Abstract:The purpose of the current study was to design and test a porous medium that can potentially be applied in
pervious pavement systems. The principle goals were to identify a material capable of enhancing the PAH
sorption capacity, thereby mitigating the influx of PAHs into the deeper subsurface. The necessary laboratory
studies were carried out in three phases: (i) synthesis of organically modified soils; (ii) testing of the
effectiveness of the organic amendments to Rhode Island glacial outwash soil and organoclay to sorb the PAH
compound Naphthalene; and (iii) determination of whether any of the conventional construction components of
pervious pavement systems (i.e., porous concrete, aggregate, including unmodified soil) contribute to PAH
removal. The PAH compounds acenaphthene and flourene were used for the second part of the study
