Credit 6.1 Stormwater Design: Quantity Control
Intent Limit disruption of natural hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, and managing stormwater runoff
Requirement CASE 1: EXISTING IMPERVIOUSNESS IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 50%: Implement a stormwater management plan that prevents the post-development peak discharge rate and quantity from exceeding the pre-development peak discharge rate and quantity for the one-and two-year 24-hour design storms. OR Implement a stormwater management plan that protects receiving stream channels from excessive erosion by implementing a stream channel protection strategy and quantity control strategies. OR CASE 2: EXISTING IMPERVIOUSNESS IS GREATER THAN 50% Implement a stormwater management plan that results in a 25% decrease in the volume of stormwater runoff from the two-year 24-hour design storm
