What about impervious coverage?
Approx. 2% increase in particle loading at full build out under current rules
Development under current regulations helps control pollutants
3636
What about impervious coverage? An increase or decrease in allowable coverage
Changing impervious cover significantly affects fine particle loading
Reducing coverage presents load reduction opportunity
