ASDA < TORA?

I was glancing through the KATL AFD and noticed on all rwys the ASDA is less than the TORA.

Can someone explain how this is possible?

While we're on the subject of TORA ASDA, does anyone know off hand which US airport actually has rwys with TORA < ASDA? All the major airports that I'm familiar with have TORA = ASDA (except above example), and typically have blast pads or RSA. Are stopways uncommon in the US?
