[State - Locality] California - Sacramento [Initiative Type] Demonstration Project [Link] Pervious Concrete Pavements [Date] Completed [Title & Description] 
Permeable Parking Lot Demonstration - The Sacramento Cool Communities Program was a partner in a project to install a pervious concrete parking lot at Bannister Park in Fair Oaks in 2001 to enhance stormwater management and to reduce the urban heat-island effect. This parking lot is one of the first in the state to use this type of paving. Pervious concrete helps water infiltrate the soil by capturing rainwater in a network of voids and allowing it to percolate into the underlying soil. Pervious concrete can help reduce or eliminate the need for traditional stormwater management systems such as retention ponds and sewer tie-ins.
