Pervious Asphalt Roads and Parking Lots Stormwater Design Considerations By Amie Broadsword, PE and Chris Rhinehart, PE
Why Use Pervious Asphalt? • Ecological: • Mimics natural system for greater ecological function • Practical: • Hydraulic considerations (i.e. less depth to meet required storage volume) • Less time to construct • Economic: • Cost savings
Project Background Snoqualmie Point Community Park Brickyard Park and Ride Lot Expansion
Snoqualmie Park: Site Plan n • Detention storage provided in reservoir course under pavement with full infiltration. WQ treatment is provided by infiltration • into native soil beneath pavement.
Brickyard: Site Plan Detention storage in arch-pipe system under pavement with discharge to downstream biofiltration swale for WQ Treatment n
Brickyard: Drainage Section Arch pipe detention system section
