Porous asphalt pavements are being used to reduce or eliminate storm water runoff from parking lots and other facilities. A porous asphalt pavement is constructed over a stone filled reservoir to collect and store storm water and to allow it to infiltrate into the soil between rainfalls. These designs can reduce pollution and replace expensive detention and treatment facilities. Porous Pavement systems are rapidly gaining favor with designers and regulators as an economical approach to storm water management for sustainable or low-impact development. As the NPDES permit requirements have become more widely applicable, it has become necessary that developers find more innovative means of compliance. Porous pavement systems are commonly being used as part of a strategy to obtain Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for green building projects. A porous asphalt pavement design manual, IS-131, is available from the National Asphalt Pavement Association ( ...
