It has been shown that porous pavement is more skid-resistant than conventional pavement in rainy
weather and that the markings on a porous pavement are easier to see on rainy nights. In addition,
studies have suggested that porous asphalt pavement is sufficiently strong and able to withstand
freeze-thaw cycles and will last as long, structurally, as conventional pavement.
Typically, porous pavement is slightly more expensive than regular pavement. Additional costs
associated with critical installation procedures and the availability of the asphalt mix may be offset
by eliminating the need for curb and gutter, inlets, and conveyance systems. Availability is a
consideration, since asphalt producers may not be willing to provide porous asphalt for small
projects due to the demand for conventional asphalt mixes.For the production of a porous pavement
mixture,the asphalt plant must be cleaned out to remove the fines not wanted in the porous mix.
The cost of the stone reservoir and filter fabric associated with porous pavement is offset by the
amount that would be spent on a stormwater facility elsewhere on the site.
Installation requires a very high level of workmanship throughout the construction process;porous
pavement must be handled with great care in order for it to retain its porous qualities. Many
pavement contractors and pavement engineers have limited experience in designing and constructing
porous pavement. Improper installation can render a porous pavement design inoperative from the
outset.
The biggest drawback to porous pavement is its tendency to clog if improperly maintained. Once
it is clogged, it may have to be completely replaced since rehabilitating it is difficult and costly.
On going maintenance of the pavement surface and specific limitations on the methods of snow and
ice removal are often ignored and/or forgotten over time and with transfers of ownership. Clogging
of the pavement surface from construction-related erosion can be prevented by waiting until all
other phases of construction are complete and vegetation is stabilized before installing the pavement.
Clogging of the pavement surface from natural circumstances is best prevented by installing it in
areas that do not have highly erodible soils or steep slopes adjacent to the paved area.
Certain features can be incorporated into the design of porous pavement facilities to prolong the
effective life of the system. One such feature is to "daylight" the aggregate base along the
downslope edge of the pavement, forming a chimney drain into the stone storage under the
pavement. The runoff can flow into the stone storage through the chimney drain if the pavement
clogs.
If slow infiltration rates in the subgrade exist, porous pavement systems can be designed with an
underdrain or collector system. When the collector system has a restriction plate on the outlet that
controls the discharge, the stone reservoir can be designed as an underground stone-storage
detention facility.
Evidence suggests that pollutants adsorb to the aggregate material, while particulates settle to the
bottom of the aggregate layer.However,the target removal efficiency of 50%to 65%,as presented
in Table 3.10-1 for infiltration facilities, is too high for a stone-storage facility. Therefore, a
3.10D- 3
MINIMUM STANDARD 3.10 CHAPTER 3
porous pavement facility with a stone storage underdrain system that provides positive
drainage will be considered an extended-detention or detention facility. Its target pollutant
removal efficiency will be based on the storage and release rate characteristics of these facilities as
presented in Minimum Standards 3.07,Extended-Detention; and 3.08,Detention Basins,until
more information is collected to support the use of a higher pollutant removal efficiency.
Design Criteria
The purpose of this section is to provide recommendations and minimum criteria for the design of
porous pavement intended to comply with the runoff quality requirements oftheVirginia Stormwater
Management programs.
The general design criteria for the porous pavement stone reservoir area and the underlying soils are
the same as for infiltration trenches. Additional design is required for determining the porous
pavement thickness. The design of the pavement is dependent on the strength of the sub-base soil,
the projected traffic intensities, and the storage capacity of the reservoir and base.
A thorough examination of the site is of primary importance to the prover design and functioning
of porous pavement. Soil and climate conditions,expected surface wear,and the use objectives of
the porous surface should all be considered before designing the pavement.
The following represents a general list of design elements that should be considered in any porous
pavement design:
1. Anticipated traffic intensities, defined by the average daily equivalent axle load(EAL).
2. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of the soils.
3. Susceptibility of the soils to frost heave.
Due to the complexity of its design,a step-by-step procedure to engineer a porous pavement
section will not be presented in this manual. A professional engineer, with training and
experience in porous pavement design and construction,should design the pavement section
and supervise during the paving operation.
Specific design requirements for a satisfactory porous asphalt pavement section equivalent to a
conventional pavement design are available through the U. S. Department of Transportation's
Federal Highway Administration and through other references listed at the end of this standard.
Specific design requirements for a satisfactory porous concrete pavement section are available
through the Florida Concrete and Products Association, 649 Vassar Street,Orlando,Florida 32804.
Other references are also listed at the end of this standard.

What is an Internal Water Storage
Zone?
• Internal Water Storage = IWS
• Originally developed to improve nitrate
reduction in N-sensitive watershed
— Bottom of cell remains saturated 4 anaerobic
conditions created to reduce nitrate TN
• Main benefit - "Infiltration Enhancer"
— Biggest impact in sandy in-situ soils
• Outflow - rare

Figure 13.Description of site for Example#1 in"Sample Calculations:'
(A)Conventional:Underdrain outlet depth= 1 ft+3 ft+ 1 ft=5 ft(assuming minimum elevation change)
On a 20:1 slope,to get 5 ft elevation change,length=5 ft x 20= 100 ft
With pipe on a 1 percent slope,an additional 1-ft of elevation change is required:
Length= 100 ft+ 1 x 20= 120 ft
Approximate length= 120 ft.
(b)IWS:Underdrain outlet depth= 1 ft+ 1 ft=2 ft(minimum elevation change)
On a 20:1 slope,to get 2 ft elevation change,length=2 ft x 20=40 ft
With pipe on a 1 percent slope,an additional 0.4 ft of elevation change is required:
Length=40 ft+0.4 x 20=48 ft;
Approximate length=48 ft.
With conventional drainage,the length to outlet the underdrain is 2.5 times longer than the length of pipe needed to
outlet the IWS bioretention cell (120 ft versus 48 ft).By using IWS in relatively flat landscapes in eastern North Carolina,
the length of the ditch is reduced,as is the depth of the ditch.This can mean a substantial savings in construction cost.

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS
Storage depth for bioretention with IWS(Figure 14)
The depth of water storage in the IWS layer can be estimated with Figure 14 for various depths of the IWS layer.In
Figure 14,the first 8 inches assume an effective porosity of 25 percent for 6 in of#57 gravel and 2 in of choking stone.
The rest of the IWS thickness assumes a 30 percent effective porosity for the 4 in layer of washed sand and sandy
bioretention fill media.The water storage depth calculation assumes that the IWS was completely drained before an
event occurs.IWS should never be closer to the surface than 12 in,so trapped pollutants in the media surface do not
become soluble and exit with the effluent.

Average Depth/Thickness of IWS Layer(in)
[includes 8 inch gravel layer]
For example,a 36-in media depth bioretention cell has 6 in of#57 gravel,2 in of choking stone,and 4 in of washed
sand,as recommended by the North Carolina bioretention design guidelines(N.C.DWQ,2007).In order to maximize
the water storage depth,the top of the IWS layer will be 12 in below the surface of the media,so 24 in of media will
be included in the IWS layer.
Average depth/thickness of IWS layer=6 in+2 in+4 in+24 in=36 in
Using Figure 74,this equates to 10.4 in of water storage.
If the gravel depth does not equal 8 in or if the designer would prefer to use an equation instead of Figure 14,
the following equation can be used to calculate internal water storage depth:
Internal water storage depth=(depth of gravel x 0.25)+[(depth of sand+depth of media in IWS)x 0.30]
(Note:IWS storage depth will correspond to average ponding depth in bowl only if media is placed below side slopes
of bioretention cell and if the pit is excavated with vertical sidewalls)
Calculation of internal water storage depth using the equation above,
Water storage depth=[(6 in+2 in)x 0.25]+[(4 in+24 in)x 0.30]=2 in+8.4 in= 10.4 in
Summary of complementary IWS Calculation Spreadsheet
On the NC State University Stormwater Team Web site is a link for downloads(http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/stormwater/
downloads.htm).The model and a document containing an example and model explanations are available on this
site.The model allows the user to size a bioretention cell based on two land uses.Then the user can specify the design
characteristics of the IWS layer,antecedent moisture conditions,surface infiltration rate,and surrounding soil exfiltra-
tion rate.Finally,the user can manually enter hourly rainfall data or enter a depth and use one of the SCS Type II or
Type III storms to predict the percentage of runoff that results in overflow,drainage,and exfiltration(no flow).
