The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection on Monday granted Pittsburgh and 79 municipalities an 18-month deadline extension to come up with a plan to reduce stormwater flowing into the sewer system, but the leeway came with conditions.

DEP officials told them that "green" infrastructure such as rain barrels, green roofs, rain gardens and permeable pavement must be part of their plans. 

FLEXI®-Pave is a poured in place permeable paving, made with recycled tires, that comes in different colors and has the capability of naturally filtering out nitrates and phosphates from the storm water that runs through it.  FLEXI®-Pave is LEED Certified, PADEP approved, and is tested and proven to not crack, break or ravel.
