Hi all,
I am working on a project located close to the Bay. Our site will have bioretention ponds, rain gardens, etc., but for the stormwater not infiltrated on site, it will redirect to campus retention and drain directly to the bay. How can we qualify for this credit? Is directing drainage to the bay enough, or does the water have to be treated in some way (similar to SSc6.2 v3 quality control)? Thank you.

If you are doing Option 1, I can't think of a way you'd meet this credit while discharging anything from the design storm, regardless of location.
Option 2, you are only managing the delta Pre vs Post, and could conceivably let some go. As long as your required volume under this option is treated on-site, I can't see an objection to your scenario.
