With this type of low impact development (LID) Marshall University can have a solid surface to\u00a0walk and drive on and still allow the stormwater to infiltrate into the existing soils. Allowing stormwater to infiltrate the soils will decrease the amount of water entering the City of Huntington\u2019s combined sewer system, which will help reduce flooding, and reduce the amount of pollutants entering the Ohio River.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/435\/Permeable-Pavers-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-384\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/435\/Permeable-Pavers-1-1024x453.jpg\" alt=\"Permeable Pavers-1\" width=\"500\" height=\"221\" \/><\/a>Another hope for these permeable pavers is the reduction in salt use in the winter.\u00a0 Ground temperatures and day time temperatures should melt the snow and as it melts the water will drain around the pavers preventing any refreezing that may occur the following night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This demonstration permeable paver pad was donated by Belden Brick, and is located near the East entrance to Jenkins.
