Our project's environmental site assessment has documented a gully resulting from the runoff of the adjacent site dumping into our site. We are using this water for our cooling towers and irrigation. I think we can consider this nuisance water and comply with this credit's intent. Thoughts? Thanks!

That's a tough one. Some reviewers will probably interpret the gully as a drainage/irrigation ditch and consider it a potential source of potable water. Your best bet is to provide a narrative describing it as nuisance water, and explain how it is being captured for reuse along with details of the size/capacity of the containment.
