==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.
