DESCRIPTION
"the largest pervious concrete project in the United States"

"At Prime Outlets mall, the filtered rainwater also will be "harvested," as Romeo described, to irrigate trees, shrubs and flowers that dot the parking-lot landscape. To curb localized flooding, heavy rains will be piped to an underground field of plastic crates - hundreds of them, lashed together with plastic zip-ties - that will store and then slowly release excess water over time." - from The Virginian-Pilot
