Runoff quantity and quality from a 248 m(2) extensive green roof and a control were compared in Connecticut using a paired watershed study. Weekly and individual rain storm samples of runoff and precipitation were analyzed for TKN, NO3 + NO2-N, NH3-N, TP, PO4-P, and total and dissolved Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Hg. The green roof watershed retained 51.4% of precipitation during the study period based on area extrapolation. Overall, the green roof retained 34% more precipitation than predicted by the paired watershed calibration equation. TP and PO4-P mean concentrations in green roof runoff were higher than in precipitation but lower than in runoff from the control. The green roof was a sink for NH3-N, Zn, and Pb, but not for TP, PO4-P, and total Cu. It also reduced the mass export of TN, TKN, NO3 + NO2-N, Hg, and dissolved Cu primarily through a reduction in stormwater runoff. Greater than 90% of the total Cu, Hg, and Zn concentrations in the green roof runoff were in the dissolved form. The growing media and slow release fertilizer were probable sources of P and Cu in green roof runoff. Overall, the green roof was effective in reducing stormwater runoff and overall pollutant loading for most water quality contaminants. if. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
