Shoreland Protection

Shorethings,

I apologize in advance if I'm being a pain, but I'll ask anyway in hopes that you'll continue to indulge me..

1) Does replacing all or part of standard asphalt paved driveway with pervious asphalt or pervious pavers count towards making a lot more nearly conforming? If so, does none of that newly paved driveway count against me with regard to the overall impervious surface measurement?

2) I understand from reading the Home Owners Guide to Starmwater Management, that if the lot is more than 30% impervious I need to have a certified engineer design a stormwater management system prior to obtaining a permit. If, after construction and by means such as above, the overall impervious surface is less than it is currently is it still necessary to hire the engineer to create the plan, or is a plan even necessary at that point?

Thanks again for your help.
