For example, the parking spaces of a parking lot may be permeable pavers while the drive lanes are impervious asphalt.
For example, the parking spaces of a parking lot may be permeable pavers while the drive lanes are impervious asphalt.
In general, the impervious area should not exceed 1.2 times the area of the permeable pavement which receives the runoff.

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.

<h5>Sizing Stone Reservoirs</h5>

The following calculation is used to size the stone storage bed (reservoir) used as a base course for designs without underdrains. It is assumed that the footprint of the stone bed will be equal to the footprint of the pavement. The following equations are taken from the ICPI Manual (Smith, 2006).

Geotextiles can be used to prevent downward migration of smaller particles in to larger aggregates, and slump of heavier particles into finer underlying courses. The formation of biofilm on geotextiles has also been shown to improve water quality:

*Fabrics should be woven monofilament or non-woven needle punched.
*Woven slit film and non-woven heat bonded fabrics should not be used, as they are prone to clogging.
In choosing a product, consider:

*''The maximum forces that will be exerted on the fabric (i.e., what tensile, tear and puncture strength ratings are required?)'',
*''The load bearing ratio of the underlying native soil (i.e. is the geotextile needed to prevent downward migration of aggregate into the native soil?)'',
*''The texture (i.e., grain size distribution) of the overlying and underlying materials, and''
*''The suitable apparent opening size (AOS) for non-woven fabrics, or percent open area (POA) for woven fabrics, to maintain water flow even with sediment and microbial film build-up''

*Full Infiltration: Full infiltration designs are more effective because little if any of the pollutants generated on the impermeable surfaces leave the site as surface runoff.

Construction of permeable pavement is a specialized project and should involve experienced contractors. The following general recommendations apply:
*Sediment Control: The treatment area should be fully protected during construction so that no sediment reaches the permeable pavement system and proper erosion and sediment controls must be maintained on site.

*Weather: Porous asphalt and pervious concrete will not properly pour and set in extremely high and low temperatures (City of Portland, 2004; U.S. EPA, 1999). One benefit to using permeable pavers is that their installation is not weather dependent.

==Life Cycle Costs==
==Life Cycle Costs==
Initial construction costs for permeable pavements are typically higher than conventional asphalt pavement surfaces, largely due to thicker aggregate base needed for stormwater storage. However, the cost difference is reduced or eliminated when total life-cycle costs, or the total cost to construct and maintain the pavement over its lifespan, are considered. Other savings and benefits may also be realized, including reduced need for storm sewer pipes and other stormwater practices, less developable land consumed for stormwater treatment, and ancillary benefits such as improved aesthetics and reduced urban heat island effect. These systems are especially cost effective in existing urban development where parking lot expansion is needed, but there is not sufficient space for other types of BMPs. They combine parking, stormwater infiltration, retention, and detention into one facility.
