*Stormwater infiltration practices should not receive runoff from high traffic areas where large amounts of [[de-icing salts]] are applied (e.g., busy highways), nor from pollution hot spots (e.g., source areas where land uses or activities have the potential to generate highly contaminated runoff such as vehicle fuelling, servicing or demolition areas, outdoor storage or handling areas for hazardous materials and some heavy industry sites)

Consult the manufacturer for the design specifications of their product. In pervious concrete and porous asphalt systems, the concrete or asphalt mix specifications and construction procedures are key to proper functioning. These systems require well-trained and experienced contractors for installation.

===Geotextile===

[[Geotextiles]] are not always necessary and may be prone to [[clogging]]. Consider using courses of finer aggregates or sand instead.

Urban [[trees]] benefit from being surrounded by permeable pavement rather than impervious cover, because their roots receive more air and water. Block pavers around the base of a tree can be removed as the tree grows.
