Jan 27 E News Alert - Beach Road to Get Porous Pavement

Beach Road at the south end of the Lake is about to become even more famous.  It's about to become the first heavily traveled roadway in New York State (and one of the only roads in all of the Northeast) to be paved with porous asphalt.

This exciting technology allows stormwater to drain right through it and be filtered naturally by the earth below. The silt, salt and pollutants the stormwater carries will be filtered out naturally and will not go into the Lake. Read complete e-alert here.
