House Updates Stormwater Data

 

The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) today applauded the U.S. House of Representatives for taking action to update a government database that helps design professionals and builders generate “green” construction projects that reduce stormwater pollution.

ICPI is sponsoring the development of sophisticated technical research on interlocking concrete paver technology and will provide it to EPA.

The database, created and managed by EPA, is in need of a renovation to reflect the latest, state-of-the-art data, research and applications in water quality protection.

ICPI has a strong interest in the EPA database because “permeable” pavement using interlocking concrete paver technology is rapidly emerging as a leading means to reduce stormwater runoff and pollution, plus provide other environmental benefits.
