How can we reduce Stormwater Runoff?
Permeable pavement systems are now recognized as Best Management Practice (BMP) by the EPA and North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR), and are a recommended solution to reducing stormwater runoff by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. NCDENR now offers impervious credits to builders/homeowners for using pervious surfaces. Visit the NCDENR website.
