How Does it Work?
• Runoff percolates through pavement• Stored in Aggregate Recharge Bed• Runoff in excess of soil infiltration capacity enters
perforated pipe

Challenges & Obstacles• Constructability & Durability– Asphalt mix is difficult to work with– Sections adjacent to approaches required
replacement– Some degradation occurred after 1st winter– Require 3-year maintenance bond
