Neither asphalt pavement or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) leach petroleum.	One of the most cost-effective ways to rehabilitate a worn-out concrete highway is to rubblize it, then overlay it with asphalt. In Arkansas, 276 miles of concrete interstates were given new life in a rubblize-and-overlay program.	One of the earliest examples of a porous asphalt pavement is the parking lot for the visitor center at Walden Pond State Reservation in Massachusetts, which was constructed in 1977.	Even pavements that were not designed to be perpetual can become perpetual pavements - one inch at a time.
