|Systems located in low permeability soils with an infiltration rate of less than 15 mm/hr, require incorporation of a perforated pipe underdrain

|To protect groundwater from possible contamination, source areas where land uses or human activities have the potential to generate highly contaminated runoff should not be treated by permeable pavement

|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.
|Local utility design guidance should be consulted to define the horizontal and vertical offsets. Generally, requirements for underground utilities passing under or near permeable pavement will be no different than for utilities in other pervious areas. However, permeable pavement has a deeper base than conventional pavement which may impact shallow utilities.

|Sand or other granular materials should not be applied as anti-skid agents during winter operation because they can quickly clog the system. Winter maintenance practices should be limited to plowing, with de-icing salts applied sparingly
