Permeable pavements are designed to provide treatment for the rain that falls directly onto their surface, but can also be designed to receive runoff from adjacent conventional paving and building roof downspouts. They are particularly useful in high density areas with limited space for other stormwater BMPs. Treatment of runoff from pervious areas is discouraged due to clogging potential. Permeable pavement may be applied on residential lots, school grounds, parks, shopping centres, and around commercial, institutional or municipal buildings (Figure 4.7.2). Permeable pavement practices should not be applied in pollution hot spots such as vehicle fuelling, service or demolition areas, outdoor storage and handling areas for hazardous materials and some heavy industry sites.
