FAQs about SSc6.1 :

Why do the requirements focus on 1-year and 2-year, 24-hour storms?

Why include the 1-year storm in the credit requirements? Won't management practices for the 2-year storm be effective?

How can green roofs count as a stormwater control measure?

How can I achieve compliance if my project's stormwater control measures are outside the LEED project boundary?

I have 100-year data—how do I convert to 2-year?

Is it an acceptable strategy to capture the rainwater into tanks and discharge it into the public sewers after the rainstorm reducing the peak discharge?

Are there special considerations for international projects?

What performance threshold do I need to achieve for an Exemplary Performance point?

The calculations for this credit are always a headache! While our projects are usually awarded the credit, the equations in the LEED Reference Guide are helpful mostly for sizing a reservoir or cistern, but don't help you get to the final results. Does US

NC-2009 SSc6.1:Stormwater Design—Quantity Control

Eligible for Exemplary Performance Credit?

We anticipate meeting/exceeding requirements for SSc6.1 "Quantity Control", but not SSc6.2 "Quality Control". The project includes renovations to an existing school building and site, and our site improvements won't be extensive enough to achieve 80% TSS removal to qualify for SSc6.2. However, we are exceeding the SSc6.1 requirements substantially through a number of BMP installations. Can we seek the "exemplary performance" credit for a "comprehensive approach to capture and treat stormwater runoff and demonstrate performance above and beyond the credit requirements"? Or do I need to achieve both SSc6.1 & SSc6.2 before I can be eligible for the exemplary performance credit? Your guidance is appreciated.

I think you have a shot at it, but it's not guaranteed. LEED does not specify an exact path for EP here. And it doesn't specify that both credits need to be earned. So I'd make your case, though it could get shot down.
