NC-2009 SSc6.1: Stormwater Design—Quantity Control
Has anyone been successful applying the impounding/receiving stream protection approach for a previously >50% impervious site? Or will we absolutely have to live with reducing the storm event runoff the 25%?

I want to second Karen's question. Has anyone out there used the receiving stream approach at all? Information on successful use of this approach has been hard to come by. If you don't feel like posting experiences on the forum, please contact me through LEEDuser.

You will probably find this amusing: we just pursued this stream channel protection on a project and our LEED reviewer marked it "pending" and asked us for documentation for Case 1 Option 1.... even though we clearly pursued Option 2. Stock language is the worst! I have submitted an inquiry to GBCI customer service and hope to get this resolved quickly.

Following this question too- We have a project with strict local EPA requirements for protection of the watershed. It overlaps this credit so we are hoping that will be adequate to demonstrate compliance with protection of the stream channel.
