Why Remove Pavement?

Pavement removal can restore the natural processes by allowing rainwater to soak into the ground, replenish groundwater and reduce the amount of stormwater runoff that causes flooding and carries pollutants.  This helps reduce pollutants that would otherwise enter streams and rivers with runoff are treated and filtered through the natural processes that occur during infiltration.
