Retail store uses new pervious surface for Miller Hill parking lot

One year after re-engineering their parking lot run-off in the Miller Creek watershed, Energy Plus gives the project high marks. Theirs is one of the first projects in the northland to use pervious concrete as part of their drainage solution. Energy Plus owner John Bergstrom says the parking lot drains much faster and more thoroughly with the strip of pervious concrete.

“The water goes away, the rain garden fills up, the plants grow. Things appear to be going swimmingly!” says Bergstrom.
