It is important to note that R, the ratio of impervious contributing drainage area (''A<sub>i</sub>'') to permeable pavement area (''A<sub>p</sub>''), should not exceed 2 to limit hydraulic loading and help avoid premature clogging. Also important to note is that the contributing drainage area should not contain pervious areas that are sources of sediment that can lead to premature clogging.
