Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality Permeable Pavement Systems Release of Division Policy on Use of Permeable Pavement Systems July 28, 2006 The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is actively working to update our Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Design Manual. The document was released in draft form in July 2005 and a large number of comments were received. Many comments have required considerable technical evaluation before decisions on the final wording and structure of the manual can be made. Unfortunately we have also experienced vacancies and program changes that have prevented us from being able to devote the technical resources to finalize the complete manual on the schedule we proposed. Therefore, we have decided to issue some individual portions of the Manual as they are completed prior to publication of the entire document. Of specific interest has been the implementation of Permeable Pavement Systems. This notice announces our release of this section of the manual. Subchapter 3.10 Permeable Pavement Systems is considered to be final and is available for use. It provides design specifications for these systems and can be used in calculating their pervious area equivalents. The DWQ will continue to monitor the progress of this technology and will modify this portion of the Manual as appropriate to assure proper use of the systems. Since design specifications may change over time, we advise that interested parties continue to monitor our stormwater website for updates.
