Intent: limit disruption of natural hydrology eliminate pollution from stormwater

Strategy: Maintain natural stormwater flows by promoting infiltration. Specify pervious paving.

Submittal: Stabilizer is pervious product.Submit product tear sheet / infiltration rates.

(SS) 6.1 1pt Civil Engineer

Stormwater Design-Quantity

Intent: To limit disruption, pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff.

Strategy: Use alternative surfaces (e.g. pervious pavement) to reduce imperviousness, promote infiltration, reduce pollutants.

Submittal: Stabilizer is pervious product Submit product tear sheet / infiltration rates.

(SS) 6.1 1pt Civil Engineer

Stormwater Design-Quality

Intent: To reduce heat islands to minimize impacts on microclimates and human and wildlife habitats.

Strategy: Light-colored surfaces instead of blacktop. Replace surfaces with open grid paving or specify high-albedo materials.

(SS) 7.1 1pt Landscape Architect

Heat Island Effect – Non-roof

spec crushed stone with SRI > 29 obtain (SRI) Solar Reflectance Index of crushed stone from Stabilizer Solutions, Inc.

Submittal: SS 7.1

how much light & heat is reflected from the surface scale of 0 to 100 asphalt is a 0 the higher the number, the better

(SRI) Solar Reflectance Index

Submittal: SS 7.1

Test data: Infiltration Ratesvaries with crushed stone  Infiltration rate: 1 to 5-inches per hour (average from multiple samples)

total average porosity = 35%  (% water space in the mix by weight)

Submittal: SS 6.1, 6.2, 7.1

*
