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.
