FAQs about SSc6.1 :

Why do the requirements focus on 1-year and 2-year, 24-hour storms?

Why include the 1-year storm in the credit requirements? Won't management practices for the 2-year storm be effective?

How can green roofs count as a stormwater control measure?

How can I achieve compliance if my project's stormwater control measures are outside the LEED project boundary?

I have 100-year data—how do I convert to 2-year?

Is it an acceptable strategy to capture the rainwater into tanks and discharge it into the public sewers after the rainstorm reducing the peak discharge?

Are there special considerations for international projects?

What performance threshold do I need to achieve for an Exemplary Performance point?

The calculations for this credit are always a headache! While our projects are usually awarded the credit, the equations in the LEED Reference Guide are helpful mostly for sizing a reservoir or cistern, but don't help you get to the final results. Does US

NC-2009 SSc6.1:Stormwater Design—Quantity Control

stormwater when site is directly on the river?

site is on the river. I assume this doesn't change anything, but civil engineer asked I check to see if LEED has exceptions for this. I guess the thought was that it might be strange to retain stormwater on site so it can be slowly released - essentially right back on site (property line is technically in the river) thoughts?

There are several discussions on direct discharge districts below. But essentially, there is no exception for this credit. You either meet the rate/volume reductions or you do not.

thanks Michael. I did read below but I guess I must have not understood. Suppose we pursued the stream/channel protection option? All water from the site that isn't absorbed into ground will be cleaned by Snoit filters, then directed to a outlet pipe in the bulkhead, where it will dump into river (which Houston is fine with stormwater into river). Since the only "stream"/waters edge is the actual river - would a steel bulkhead be considered erosion control? I mean, there certainly will not be any erosion. again, sorry if these are answered below just not real clear to me thanks very much...
