products, chemicals, or liquid hazardous wastes of which 10% or more <br />of the storage volume (including volume in the connecting piping <br />system) is beneath the ground surface. <br />o At multi -level parking garages, and over culverts and bridges. <br />o Where the site design cannot avoid putting pavement in areas likely to <br />have long-term excessive sediment deposition after construction (e.g., <br />construction and landscaping material yards). <br />o Where the site cannot reasonably be designed to have a porous asphalt <br />surface at less than 5 percent slope, or a pervious concrete surface at <br />less than 10 percent slope, or a permeable interlocking concrete <br />pavement surface (where appropriate) at less than 12 percent slope. <br />Grid systems upper slope limit can range from 6 to 12 percent; check <br />with manufacturer and local supplier. <br />o Where the native soils below a pollution -generating permeable <br />pavement (e.g., road or parking lot) do not meet the soil suitability <br />criteria for providing treatment. See SSC-6 in Section 3.3.7 of Volume <br />III. Note: In these instances, the local government has the option of <br />requiring a six-inch layer of media meeting the soil suitability criteria <br />or the sand filter specification as a condition of construction. <br />o Where seasonal high ground water or an underlying impermeable/low <br />permeable layer would create saturated conditions within one foot of <br />the bottom of the lowest gravel base course. <br />o Where underlying soils are unsuitable for supporting traffic loads <br />when saturated. Soils meeting a California Bearing Ratio of 5% are <br />considered suitable for residential access roads. <br />o Where appropriate field testing indicates soils have a measured (a.k.a., <br />initial) native soil saturated hydraulic conductivity less than 0.3 inches <br />per hour. (Note: In these instances, unless other infeasibility <br />restrictions apply, roads and parking lots may be built with an <br />underdrain, preferably elevated within the base course, if flow control <br />benefits are desired.) <br />Roads that receive more than very low traffic volumes, and areas <br />having more than very low truck traffic. Roads with a projected <br />average daily traffic volume of 400 vehicles or less are very low <br />volume roads (AASHTO, 2001)(U.S. Dept. of Transportation, 2013). <br />Areas with very low truck traffic volumes are roads and other areas not <br />subject to through truck traffic but may receive up to weekly use by <br />utility trucks (e.g., garbage, recycling), daily school bus use, and <br />multiple daily use by pick-up trucks, mail/parcel delivery trucks, and <br />maintenance vehicles. Note: This infeasibility criterion does not <br />extend to sidewalks and other non -traffic bearing surfaces. <br />Volume V — Runoff Treatment BMPs — December 2014 <br />5-20 <br />
