Engineers are planning to build a highway that runs through a forest (0% impervious). However, the new regional regulations specify that the development of the area cannot increase the runoff of TKN (Total Kjeldakl Nitrogen) to the nearby river. The highway section going through the forest will be built of conventional materials (100% impervious), it is 5 miles long, and contains 4 lanes (12 ft wide each). The annual rainfall in the region is 41 in and 80% of the annual rainfall generates runoff. What is the annual TKN load increase due to the construction of the highway (in kg/yr)? If you were to build this road with permeable pavement and wanted to store 100% of the runoff volume generated, what would the depth of the permeable pavement layer have to be (in ft). Consider the porosity of that layer to be 0.4. After obtaining your final answer, please answer the following questions: 1) What does the final number mean? 2) Is this number reasonable? 3) What would be your recommendation for the highway administrators if this number is not reasonable?
