Though they are not as strong as conventional roadways, permeable pavements can easily be adopted for use in overflow parking lots, driveways and emergency lanes. Hope forthe Future Tom Singleton, who attended a Jumping Run community design workshop in September, is eager to get involved with the project. Singleton owns and operates Water's Edge RV Park, a 13-acre camp- ground on Bogue Sound. "Every time the shellfish beds are open, my people like to go out there and look for clams," Singleton.

I'd love to see it be ; Like many other coastal residents, Singleton has a ditch on his property that drains into a swamp alongside Jumping Run. Singleton hopes the restoration project will help him enhance the wetlands on his property. "One of the things they said at the workshop is that you can have a sick wetland," he says. "If I'm going to have wetlands on my property, I want them to be the best ones ; Preston Pate, director of the Division of Marine Fisheries, is also quick to praise the restoration project. Jumping Run Creek runs through his back yard, and he recommended the watershed for the project "because it lent itself very neatly to the experimental phase of the It's a real diverse but discre
