Porous Asphalt Pavements with Stone Reservoirs

Porous asphalt pavements with stone reservoirs are a multifunctional low impact development (LID) technology, which integrates ecological and environmental goals for a site with land development goals, reducing the net environmental impact for a project. Not only do they provide a strong pavement surface for parking, walkways, trails, and roads; they are designed to manage and treat stormwater runoff. With proper design and installation, porous asphalt pavements can provide a cost-effective solution for stormwater management in an environmentally friendly way. This Technical Brief provides an overview of the benefits, limitations and applications of porous asphalt pavements with stone reservoirs. Considerations for design and construction, as well as maintenance, are discussed.
