-==Overview==
-{{textbox|Permeable paving is ideal for:
-*Projects which accommodate light vehicular traffic or pedestrian traffic,
-*Sites which cannot accommodate additional surface area for bioretention}}
-'''The fundamental components of a permeable paving system are:'''
-*interlocking blocks with infiltration spaces between, '''or'''
-*a poured in place surface without fines, so that the finish is pervious to water
-*a bedding course to stabilize the surface
-*underground storage layer of aggregate.
-'''Additional components may include:'''
-*an underdrain system
-==Planning considerations==
-<h3>Landscaping</h3>
-Landscaped areas must drain away from permeable pavement to prevent sediments from running onto the surface. Urban [[trees]] will benefit from being surrounded by permeable pavement rather than impervious cover, because their roots receive more air and water. Interlocking pavers used around the base of a tree may be removed as the tree grows.

-<h3>Sizing in TTT</h3>

-<h3>Materials</h3>
-<h4>Stone Reservoir</h4>
-The stone reservoir must meet both runoff storage and structural support requirements.
-The bottom of the reservoir should be level so that water infiltrates evenly. If the system is not designed for infiltration, the bottom should slope at 1 - 5% toward the underdrain.
-A hybrid permeable pavement/soakaway design can feature connection of a roof downspout directly to the stone reservoir of the permeable pavement system, which is sized to store runoff from both the pavement surface and the roof drainage area.
