Generally used when underlying soils are highly permeable
All captured water infiltrates into the soil beneath the pavement
Full-infiltration System Design
Used on low infiltration soils not allowing infiltration of captured water within 48 – 72 hours
Some water infiltrates into underlying soils
Underdrains drain excess filtered water
Partial-infiltration System Design
An impermeable liner (geomembrane) prevents infiltration into underlying soils
Filtered water exits the system via underdrain
Discharge (flow) control & water quality improvements
Little volume reduction
No-infiltration System Design
Volume & Pollutant Reductions• Volume reduction depends on soil infiltration rate &
storage volume in subbase – can be 100% in some cases
• Pollutant reductions (dozens of studies):
Sediment – TSS reductions 75% to 90%
Metals – High in clay soils - 50% to 90%
Nutrients – Higher in sandy/lower in clay soils; nitrification in partial infiltration designs after 24 hrs detention; nutrients handled w/ sand in subbase or w/ overflow bioswales
Oils – Digested by bacteria on aggregate surfaces

Permeable Pavements
The Misuse of AASHTO H20 LoadsAASHTO H loading represents one load, not repetitions or ESALs
• Theoretical load for sizing members for bridge design by AASHTO
• Does not apply to pavement design
• Does not relate to ESALs other than one pass of an H20 load
Permeable pavements withstand H-20 & HS-20 loads

Time for an upgrade
Permeable Pavement MythsDesign for 72-hour drawdown….Myth: Min. soil infiltration rate 0.5 in./hr required(from infiltration trench design specs)
Reality: 0.5 in./hr x 72 hours = 36 in. How about ≥ 0.017 in./hr x 72 hours = 1.25 in.Infiltrates NJDEP stormwater quality storm = 1.25 in.Conservative ~0.034 in./hr 2 x safety factor accounts for long-term subgrade clogging
Permeable Pavement MythsMyth: They clog & don’t infiltrate
Reality: No, if vacuumed regularly
Before After
Permeable Pavement MythsMyth: Sand bedding okay in PICP
Reality: NO! It easily clogs; bedding should be ASTM No. 8 stone; joints No. 8, 89 or 9 stone
From NJDEP Chapter 9.7 guidelines….
Myth: Don’t Compact the SoilCompaction required by designer:
Run lab Proctor density per ASTM D698 In-situ: compact & check density
Test infiltration per ASTM D3385Compaction = structural belt & suspendersDesign PICP for lower infiltration on compacted soilsDrain pipes may be required
Caltrans: compact to 88% to 90% relative density
Clay Soils Infiltrate…SlowlySome infiltration happens
Laboratory study by UC Davis, D. Jones, et al. for Caltrans
Per AASHTO T-215 constant head test
10-2 cm/sec = 14.2 in./hr
10-3 cm/sec = 1.4 in./hr
10-4 cm/sec = 0.13 in./hr
10-5 cm/sec = 0.014 in./hr
Reality: underlying soils – higher water content & latent heatAggregate void spaces: insulating properties of trapped airFaster thawing from meltwater
Surface infiltration rates high despite 28 in. frost penetration (Roseen 2011) Less plowing & encourage faster snow/ice melt (Roseen 2013; Cahill 2003)
Saturated subgrades drain prior to freezingExtended pollutant reduction seasonPotential winter maintenance cost savings & reduced liability
Myth: The Pavements Heave in Freeze & Thaw
