Porous Asphalt Pavements

Porous parking lots, bike paths, and roads can provide stormwater management systems that promote infiltration, improve water quality, and eliminate the need for separate detention basins. This guide to the design and construction of porous pavements will also be useful to the fields of land use and site design. This guide provides guidelines and recommendations for design, construction, and maintenance of porous asphalt pavements. Factors considered for determining applicability include rainfall, soil infiltration capability, usage/loading, frequency of use, cost, and stormwater regulations.
