PROJECTS THAT ARE PART OF A MULTI-TENANT COMPLEX ONLY
The credit requirements may be met using a coordinated approach affecting the defined project site that is within the
master plan boundary. Distributed techniques based on a watershed approach are then required.

From the above narrative, it is not clear what the last sentence means "Distributed techniques based on a watershed approach are then required."!?... Please help clarify in detail the context of this narrative and expectations. :QUESTION 1

QUESTION 2:

If the project site exceeds the 98th percentile but by measures that are more structural with mild LID/ Green Infrastructure due to industrial waste water remediation strategies that are site specific per Engineering strategies/requirements, Should the project not be awarded the maximum points based on its specific requirements? (This is in NO way a conventional site)

FURTHER BACKGROUND CONSIDERATIONS:

My project site is a campus site project with less than 15% air-marked for LEED (1 building out of 7, including immediate site boundary) Some basic features of the site included:

  • A Former wet ash basin, required excavation and remediation (about 10 million tons)
  • Excavated site replaced with habitable soil for human and plant use
  • Adequately draining off wet ash based on site specific research and targeted requirement
  • Providing adequate Structural drain basins to meet above 95th Percentile Storm-water concerns and Industrial waste water considerations.

From my study of the entire Ash basin closure/ remediation requirements and draining of the wet fly ash (Industrial waste water components etc.) the requirements on storm water management for the entire site including the LEED boundary (within) far exceeds the LID & Green infrastructural requirements as set out by LEED v4. 

Some features as required per LID have been incorporated but the magnitude of what has been designed and catered for required more structural elements which has limited the use of the LID and Green infrastructural strategies. This being said, I believe this project based on it's special technical requirements should be reviewed by its merit and huge the investments per Environmental and human safety strategies due to the site specific requirements.

The site had existed as an ash basin for over 60 years.
