Permeable pavements are appropriate in many applications where <br />traditionally impermeable pavements have been used. Typical <br />applications for permeable paving include parking lots, sidewalks, <br />pedestrian and bike trails, driveways, residential access roads, and <br />emergency and facility maintenance roads. <br />Limitations: <br />• No run-on from pervious surfaces is preferred. If runoff comes from <br />minor or incidental pervious areas, those areas must be fully stabilized. <br />Unless the pavement, base course, and subgrade have been designed to <br />accept runoff from adjacent impervious surfaces, slope impervious <br />runoff away from the permeable pavement to the maximum extent <br />practicable. Sheet flow from up -gradient impervious areas is not <br />recommended, but permissible if the permeable pavement area is > <br />the impervious pavement area. <br />Soils must not be tracked onto the wear layer or the base course during <br />construction. <br />Infeasibility Criteria: <br />These are conditions that make permeable pavement not required. If a <br />project proponent wishes to use permeable pavement - though not required. <br />to because of these feasibility criteria - they may propose a functional <br />design to the local government. <br />These criteria also apply to impervious pavements that would employ <br />stormwater collection from the surface of impervious pavement with <br />redistribution below the pavement. <br />Citation of any of the following infeasibility criteria must be based on an <br />evaluation of site -specific conditions and a written recommendation from <br />an appropriate licensed professional (e.g, engineer, geologist, <br />hydrogeologist) <br />o Where professional geotechnical evaluation recommends infiltration <br />not be used due to reasonable concerns about erosion, slope failure, or <br />down gradient flooding. <br />o Within an area whose ground water drains into an erosion hazard, or <br />landslide hazard area. <br />o Where infiltrating and ponded water below new permeable pavement <br />area would compromise adjacent impervious pavements. <br />o Where infiltrating water below a new permeable pavement area would <br />threaten existing below grade basements. <br />o Where infiltrating water would threaten shoreline structures such as <br />bulkheads. <br />Volume V — Runoff Treatment BMPs — December 2014 <br />5-18 <br />
