Permeable pavement: Plan review

Plan checklist

1. Do the plans include an appropriate construction sequence that is specific to the construction of the permeable pavement?
2. To avoid soil disturbance and compaction during construction, will the proposed infiltration area be clearly marked before any site work begins?
3. Do the plans include an appropriate cross-sectional detail for the permeable pavement?

An alternative practice to traditional impervious pavement, prevents the generation of runoff by allowing precipitation falling on the surface to infiltrate through the surface course into an underlying stone reservoir and, where suitable conditions exist, into the native soil.
