Tristan - Thanks for the insight. I did find a case where Harvard was able to get this credit via an alternative compliance path, demonstrating that while they did not meet the strict interpretation of the criteria for the entire campus, they achieve the improvements in each of the desired areas:
- reducing impervious cover,
- increasing on-site infiltration,
- eliminating sources of contaminants, and
- removing pollutants from stormwater
Here's the link to their credit submittal:

management that is campus-wide or based on the local watershed is preferred over stormwater
management planning limited to one project site at a time."I can't speak to whether reviewers are always asking for this, but it does seem to be a clear policy preference for LEED.
