Wearing laver <br />• For all surface types, a minimum initial infiltration rate of 20 inches <br />per hour is necessary. To improve the probability of long-term <br />performance, significantly higher initial infiltration rates are desirable. <br />• Porous Asphalt: Products must have adequate void spaces through <br />which water can infiltrate. A void space within the range of 16 — 25% <br />is typical. <br />• Pervious Concrete: Products must have adequate void spaces through <br />which water can infiltrate. A void space within the range of 15 — 35% <br />is typical.. <br />• Grid/lattice systems filled with gravel, sand, or a soil of finer <br />particles with or without grass: The fill material must be at least a <br />minimum of 2 inches of sand, gravel, or soil. <br />• Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement and Aggregate Pavers: <br />Pavement joints should be filled with No. 8, 89 or 9 stone. <br />Drainage conveyance <br />Roads should still be designed with adequate drainage conveyance <br />facilities as if the road surface was impermeable. Roads with base courses <br />that extend below the surrounding grade should have a designed drainage <br />flow path to safely move water away from the road prism and into the <br />roadside drainage facilities. Use of perforated storm drains to collect and <br />transport infiltrated water from under the road surface will result in less <br />effective designs and less flow reduction benefit. <br />Underdrains <br />Note that if an underdrain is. placed at or near the bottom of the aggregate <br />base in a permeable pavement design, the permeable pavement is no <br />longer considered an LID BMP and cannot be used to satisfy Minimum <br />Requirement #5. However, designs utilizing an underdrain that is elevated <br />within the aggregate base course to protect the pavement wearing course <br />from saturation is considered an LID BMP and can be used to satisfy <br />Minimum Requirement #5. See Appendix III-C and the WWHM Users <br />Manual for guidance in modeling permeable pavements with underdrains. <br />Acceptance test <br />• Driveways can be tested by simply throwing a bucket of water on the <br />surface. If anything other than a scant amount puddles or runs off the <br />surface, additional testing is necessary prior to accepting the <br />construction. <br />Roads may be initially tested with the bucket test. In addition, test the <br />initial infiltration with a 6-inch ring, sealed at the base to the road <br />surface, or with a sprinkler infiltrometer. Wet the road surface <br />continuously for 10 minutes. Begin test to determine compliance with <br />20 inches per hour minimum rate. Use of ASTM C 1701 is also <br />recommended. <br />Volume V — Runoff Treatment BMPs — December 2014 <br />5-24 <br />
