Pervious surface definition

Pervious surface means an area that releases as runoff a small portion of the precipitation that falls on it. Lawns, gardens, parks, forests or other similar vegetated areas are examples of surfaces that typically are pervious.

Pervious surface means any surface material that allows stormwater to infiltrate into the ground. Examples include lawn, landscape, pasture, native vegetation areas, and permeable pavement.

Pervious surface means a ground surface that readily allows storm water to infiltrate or percolate into the soils.

Examples of Pervious surface in a sentence

• References to the Trust in those paragraphs shall be read as applying to such Subsidiary where the actual activity that is the subject of the policy is carried on by such Subsidiary (with the exception of policy (b) above which is only intended to apply to the Trust).
