Any idea how the 2003 EPA Construction General Permit (Phase I and I NPDES) required in LEED-NC compares to the Washing State Department of Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual requirement for this LEED-ND prerequisite? Our location has an equivalent standard to the NPDES.

Amanda, I haven't seen a BMP-specific equivalency assessment of the two, but it would definitely be helpful. One thing to remember when trying to satisfy GIBp4 with an NPDES water pollution permit is the prerequisite's requirement in (c) to also prevent air pollution. And note that ND v4 will switch back to EPA BMPs, with Washington State's no longer being applicable. Eliot
