Permeable pavement is one of the most promising green solutions that can help reduce and clean up polluted stormwater runoff.

Permeable technology has been used successfully in countless Northwest paving projects, though its use has been limited by a few persistent myths.
This Sightline paper examines some of the most common concerns about permeable pavement.
