FAQs about SSc6.2 :

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

Stantec, can you provide any more specifics in your question—what kind of insight you're looking for, and what you see it applying to?

Hi Tristan, In CaGBC CIR #854, the Final Ruling states "provided that no surface-applied fertilizers (greater than 1% phosphorous) are used, fertilizers may be applied around the plant root zone in the soil at the time of planting and not be in violation of the phosphorous management plan for ongoing operational management of phosphorous to meet SSc6.2." My interpretation of this is that if slow-release fertilizer was used at the time of planting it would be exempt from the minimum 1% phosphorous requirement - would you agree with my assumption? Thank you.

Yes, I agree with your reading of this CIR on phosphorous.
