No.22(continued)-Maintenance Standards and Procedures for Permeable Pavement. <br /> Recommended Frequency a <br /> Component Condition when Maintenance is Needed Action Needed <br /> Inspection Routine (Standards) (Procedures) <br /> Maintenance <br /> Surface/Wearing Course(coned) <br /> Interlocking concrete A or B None(routine maintenance) Clean pavement surface using one or a combination of the following methods: <br /> paver blocks and • Remove sediment,debris,trash,vegetation,and other debris deposited onto pavement(rakes and leaf blowers can be used <br /> aggregate pavers for removing leaves) <br /> •Vacuum/sweep permeable paving installation using: <br /> o Walk-behind vacuum(sidewalks) <br /> o High efficiency regenerative air or vacuum sweeper(roadways,parking lots) <br /> o Shop Vac or brush brooms(small areas) <br /> • Note:Vacuum settings may have to be adjusted to prevent excess uptake of aggregate from paver openings or joints. <br /> Vacuum surface openings in dry weather to remove dry,encrusted sediment. <br /> A b Surface is clogged: •Review the overall performance of the facility(note that small clogged areas may not reduce overall performance of facility) <br /> Ponding on surface or water flows off the permeable •Test the surface Infiltration rate using ASTM C1701 as a corrective maintenance Indicator.Perform one test per installation, <br /> pavement surface during a rain event(does not infiltrate)] up to 2,500 square feet.Perform an additional test for each additional 2,500 square feet up to 15,000 square feet total.Above <br /> 15,000 square feet,add one test for every 10,000 square feet. <br /> • If the results indicate an infiltration rate of 10 inches per hour or less,then perform corrective maintenance to restore <br /> permeability. <br /> •Clogging is usually an issue in the upper 2 to 3 centimeters of aggregate.Remove the upper layer of encrusted sediment, <br /> and fines,and/or vegetation from openings and joints between the pavers by mechanical means and/or suction equipment <br /> (e.g.,pure vacuum sweeper). <br /> • Replace aggregate In paver cells,joints,or openings per manufacturer's recommendations <br /> A Sediment present at the surface of the pavement •Assess the overall performance of the pavement system during a rain event.If water runs off the pavement and/or there is <br /> ponding,then see above. <br /> •Determine source of sediment loading and evaluate whether or not the source can be reduced/eliminated.If the source <br /> cannot be addressed,consider increasing frequency of routine cleaning(e.g.,twice per year instead of once per year). <br /> Summer Moss growth inhibits infiltration or poses slip safety hazard •Sidewalks:Use a stiff broom to remove moss in the summer when It is dry <br /> •Parking lots and roadways:Vacuum sweep or stiff broom/power brush for cleaning moss from pavement surface <br /> A Paver block missing or damaged Remove individual damaged paver blocks by hand and replace or repair per manufacturer's recommendations <br /> A Loss of aggregate material between paver blocks Refill per manufacturer's recommendations for interlocking paver sections <br /> A Settlement of surface May require resetting <br /> Open-celled paving A or B None(routine maintenance) • Remove sediment debris,trash,vegetation,and other debris deposited onto pavement(rakes and leaf blowers can be used <br /> grid with gravel for removing leaves) <br /> •Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for cleaning surface. <br /> A b Aggregate Is clogged: •Use vacuum truck to remove and replace top course aggregate <br /> Ponding on surface or water flows off the permeable • Replace aggregate in paving grid per manufacturer's recommendations <br /> pavement surface during a rain event(does not infiltrate)] <br /> A Paving grid missing or damaged •Remove pins,pry up grid segments,and replace gravel <br /> • Replace grid segments where three or more adjacent rings are broken or damaged <br /> • Follow manufacturer guidelines for repairing surface. <br /> A Settlement of surface May require resetting <br /> A Loss of aggregate material in paving grid Replenish aggregate material by spreading gravel with a rake(gravel level should be maintained at the same level as the <br /> plastic rings or no more than 1/4 inch <br /> above the top of rings).See manufacturer's recommendations. <br /> A Weeds present • Manually remove weeds <br /> •Presence of weeds may indicate that too many fines are present(refer to Actions Needed under"Aggregate is clogged"to <br /> address this issue) <br /> Frequency:A=Annually;B=Biannually(twice per year);S=Perform inspections after major storm events(24-hour storm event with a 10-year or greater recurrence interval). <br /> b Inspection should occur during storm event. <br /> Volume V—Runoff Treatment BMPs—December 2014 <br /> 4-61 <br />
