<h3>Heavy Vehicle Traffic</h3>
<h3>Heavy Vehicle Traffic</h3>
Permeable pavement is not typically used in locations subject to heavy loads. Some permeable pavers are designed for heavy loads and have been used in commercial port loading and storage areas.

<h3>Water Table</h3>
The base of permeable pavement stone reservoir should be at least one (1) metre above the seasonally high water table or bedrock elevation.
<h3>Setbacks from Buildings</h3>
Permeable pavement should be located downslope from building foundations. If the pavement does not receive runoff from other surfaces, no setback is required from building foundations. Otherwise, a minimum setback of four (4) metres down-gradient from building foundations is recommended.
<h3>On Private Property</h3>
If permeable pavement systems are installed on private lots, property owners or managers will need to be educated on their routine maintenance needs, understand the long-term maintenance plan, and may be subject to a legally binding maintenance agreement.
