The decision to use permeable pavers for the parking was a big money saver : It averted the need for water retention areas in the 80-acre space, freeing up more than $1 million that then went toward building more housing.
Mark Green, The Lane Report 7.2010
Bluegrass-Aspendale, a community just east of
downtown Lexington, Kentucky is occupied by 450
apartments, townhouses and detached houses.
Construction proposals were expected to add
additional runoff from roofs, sidewalks, drives and
parking; however, with land at a premium, Lexington
Fayette County Urban Housing Authority (LHA)
could not afford to devote valuable real-estate space
to a storm water detention pond.
The challengeTen acres (187,000 sq. ft.) of the Bluegrass-Aspendale project
required storage and management of the increased runoff from roofs,
sidewalks, drives and parking areas. With no available land for storage,
Steve Garland, P.E. with Sherman Carter Barnhart (SCB) investigated
several pavement resurfacing options that included: asphalt, porous pavement and permeable pavers.
With a total of 12 parking lots to pave, the goal was to find an economical solution while meeting
the needs of the site. The estimated project cost for traditional parking lots was $2.3M ($684K for
asphalt, $1.5M for pipe system and $120K to address water quality issues). Porous pavement was
investigated as a possible solution; however, it too was cost prohibitive and eliminated as a solution to
the challenge.
The solutionSCB was able to manage and store increased runoff while also saving money when he incorporated
permeable pavers into the project design. With land at a premium and society’s demand for more
environmentally friendly solutions, paving the parking lots with permeable pavers was the most socially
responsible option. The water quality generated by the aggregate (reported by 3rd party testing), met
or exceeded EPA requirements therefore, requiring no additional treatment devices. Costing just $1M,
(including the stone base, filter fabric for the detention and perforated pipe for edge and under
drainage), permeable pavers was also the most economical solution for the project.
The resultsBluegrass-Aspendale’s permeable paver parking lots proved to be both an economical and
environmental success; saving the project $1M, and today, serving as a model for future projects. The
parking lot has also generated excitement from surrounding universities, municipalities and business
leaders as they too are interested in implementing socially responsible applications in their communities.
