FAQs about SSc6 :

Where do I find information about the 2-year 24-hour storm for my location?

What is the best way to determine the slope of vegetated areas?

What value should we use for the runoff coefficient for our pervious paving?

We have an international project and don’t know where to find data for the 2-year 24-hour storm. Where can we find this information?

What is the runoff coefficient for water bodies like pools and ponds onsite?

EBOM-2009 SSc6:Stormwater Quantity Control

Fish as biological control

At an office park, the stormwater management control is a large retention pond that is managed by an aquatic service vendor. They provide inspection logs for the LEED documentation. Recently, they recommended adding sterile carp to control an outgrowth of vegetation. 1)How and where is the best place to document this? On one hand, it is part of the maintenance of our stormwater control (SSc6). On the other hand, it is an organic and low-impact maintenance of the landscape and pest control (SSc3). 2) Is it worth exemplary performance because of a synergy among credits?

The carp themselves do not contribute to SSc6 since they are performing a maintenance function unrelated to stormwater quantity control. It probably falls under SSc3, but may go beyond what is standard there. I suggest reposting your inquiry under SSc3.
