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?

My site has no stormwater management facilities. It is surrounded by natural vegetation/open space, and parts of the land has hills. (A reservoir is located close to the hills.) The ratio of open space to the building is almost 1:1. Would we still qualify for this credit? If so, would Option 2 (LID) satisfy this credit best? We have plenty of natural vegetation and hillsides next to our aquifer, but no engineered bioswales/detention ponds and such. Thank you!

Hi Wendy, Based on what you describe, your project should be able to comply using the stormwater management calculator.
