Winter 2017-18

14 Maintenance —Systematic collection of maintenance data and costs is needed, especially on surface cleaning, as well utility repair guidelines and costs. Asset management —This is an emerging field. There needs to be condition survey tools that include stormwater/infiltration performance as well as structural performance to include permeable pavements in pavement asset management software programs used by municipalities. Standard O&M guides need to be created and standardized. Funding for research, development, and implementation — Funding sources for quantifying stormwater management have been from industry, municipal, state and federal sources. More research is needed on structural performance and on watershed flood control. Should there be a university center for this? Planning & development codes —Opportunities abound for updating municipal codes, LID, and complete street guidelines for road agencies. Greater confidence by such agencies in performance and designs for low maintenance will help gain acceptance and reduce stormwater versus road agency bifurcation of interests and priorities. Resilience may be key to getting road agencies to adopt permeable pavements, as stormwater management doesn’t hold a top priority or a compelling interest for adoption by many road agencies.
