PERMEABLE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> • Erosion and introduction of sediment from surrounding land uses should be strictly <br /> controlled after construction by amending exposed soil with compost and mulch, <br /> planting exposed areas as soon as possible, and armoring outfall areas. <br /> • Surrounding landscaped areas should be inspected regularly and possible sediment <br /> sources controlled immediately. <br /> • Installations can be monitored for adequate or designed minimum infiltration rates by <br /> observing drainage immediately after heavier rainstorms for standing water or <br /> infiltration tests using ASTM C1701. <br /> • Clean permeable pavement surfaces to maintain infiltration capacity at least once or <br /> twice annually following recommendations below. <br /> • The build up on permeable pavement is reduced and the surface becomes free and clear <br /> more rapidly compared to conventional pavement. For western Washington, deducing <br /> sand application may be reduced or eliminated and the permeable pavement installation <br /> should be assessed during winter months and the winter traction program developed <br /> from those observations. Vacuum and sweeping frequency will likely be required more <br /> often if sand is applied. <br /> • Clean surfaces using suction, sweeping with suction or high-pressure wash and suction <br /> (sweeping alone is minimally effective). Hand held pressure washers are effective for <br /> cleaning void spaces and appropriate for smaller areas such as sidewalks. <br /> • Small utility cuts can be repaired with conventional asphalt or concrete if small batches of <br /> permeable material are not available or are too expensive. <br /> Kymera 2-Lot SP Full Drainage Report <br /> Revised:April 21,2018 Page 16 <br />
