Storm- water friendly driveways allow water to soak away into the ground below, where it is filtered by the soil and can recharge groundwater, keep pollutants out of Lakes, and reduce flooding risks. This guidebook identifies the benefits of stormwater friendly driveways and exploring the different available options: porous concrete and asphalt, solid pavers and turf pavers, plastic grid systems, ribbon driveways.
Guide on permeable driveway options such as open-cell pavers, pervious pavers, and gravel as well as information on permitting, timing of the project, project length, and costs.

This document provides technical details of permeable pavement systems, such as application, system elements, design, installation, operation, maintenance, crediting, and costs, in order to inform planners, engineers, landscape architects, local government officials, and other professionals in the built environment about the considerations for implementing and maintaining permeable pavements.
