Hi, there is a sentence in LEED Reference Guide which makes me really confused (page 103): “For existing sites with greater than 50% imperviousness, structural techniques may include restoring and repairing deteriorated storm sewers or separating combined sewers” Does it mean that we can discharge rainwater to the sewer system without treating it ?

Interesting. I take this to mean that these are measures that could be a part of a plan for improving stormwater quality by fixing broken or outdated infrastructure. Based on where this appears in the Reference Guide, I take it as helpful suggestion for improving general conditions, and not an alternate compliance path for those sites.
