# 9.6 PERVIOUS PAVING SYSTEMS

[OCR image]

A pervious paving system is a stormwater management facility used to address the impacts of land development. The system consists of a durable, permeable surface course, which allows stormwater runoff to move through it; this surface course is placed over a transition layer and a storage bed of open-graded, i.e., devoid of fine particles, aggregate. There are two types: underdrained systems and systems

Only pervious paving systems designed to infiltrate into the subsoil may be used to meet the groundwater recharge requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.4. If designed with an underdrain, pervious paving systems cannot be used to meet these requirements. For more information on computing groundwater recharge, see Chapter 6: Groundwater Recharge.

To merit the approved TSS removal rate of 80%, pervious paving systems must be designed to treat the WQDS and in accordance with all of the design criteria provided in this chapter.

# Design Criteria

## Basic Requirements

The following design criteria apply to all pervious paving systems. Additional design criteria may be found, beginning on Page 11, for a system with an underdrain and Page 13, for

# Surface Course

- The surface course must be designed to support, without lateral movement of the components, the anticipated traffic and other design loads, including additional stresses that may be anticipated at the edges of the installation.
- For a system designed to provide treatment for the WQDS, the minimum tested infiltration rate of the surface course i
