Is the following acceptable for credit WE 1.2?INTENT:The East Campus Private Development Project (ECPDP) is currently being constructed on Oak Ridge National Laboratory\'\'s (ORNL) campus. The design team has elected to construct the ECPDP over and around the existing ORELA 150 M Flight Tube facility (located partially underground) which will preserve the existing ORELA Flight Tube facility and conserve technical resources. The underground flight tube has an existing sump pit that discharges non-potable water (which seeps through the structure) into the storm water system. We intend to capture some of that water for landscape irrigation purposes. We have already incorporated highly efficient drip irrigation on one portion of the site, and have eliminated irrigation on the remaining portions of the site. Thus, the use of recovered water is minimal.Will this recovered water be acceptable as a "non-potable" water source?
The project has proposed to divert water that would otherwise be wasted. The water will displace potable water used for irrigation. This approach is acceptable, but should be explained in a credit narrative. Applicable Internationally.
