Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements The Stormwater Problem 1
Stormwater Management Objectives Water Quantity Accommodate water volumes & peak flows Water Quality Control pollutant levels A Low Impact Development Solution 1. Source controls = Infiltrate 2. Conveyance controls = Filter & detain 3. End of Pipe Controls = Retain in ponds 2
Permeable Pavements Advantages Reduces impervious cover Reduces surface water runoff volumes Cost savings due to reduction or elimination of stormwater drainage system requirements (retention ponds, piping systems and hardware) Increased groundwater recharge Reduced and delayed peak flows Reduces pollutants Advantages (continued) Helps reduce downstream erosion from reduced volumes & peak flows Reduced runoff water temperature No need for false grading of large parking areas Reduces microclimate temperatures and contributes to urban heat island reduction Eliminates surface water ponding Reduces ice hazards & deicing salt use Eligible for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ) credits (CaGBC and USGBC) 3
