Intent: limit disruption of natural hydrology eliminate pollution from stormwater

Strategy: Maintain natural stormwater flows by promoting infiltration. Specify pervious paving.

Submittal: Stabilizer is pervious product.Submit product tear sheet / infiltration rates.

(SS) 6.1 1pt Civil Engineer

Stormwater Design-Quantity

Intent: To limit disruption, pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff.

Strategy: Use alternative surfaces (e.g. pervious pavement) to reduce imperviousness, promote infiltration, reduce pollutants.

Submittal: Stabilizer is pervious product Submit product tear sheet / infiltration rates.

(SS) 6.1 1pt Civil Engineer

Stormwater Design-Quality

Intent: To reduce heat islands to minimize impacts on microclimates and human and wildlife habitats.

Strategy: Light-colored surfaces instead of blacktop. Replace surfaces with open grid paving or specify high-albedo materials.
