2 Outline Sustainable Sites 2 Stormwater credits SSc6.1 SSc6.2 Synergies with other Credits Case Study How it relates to current guidelines Summary and Questions

3 Sustainable Site Credits - Intent SSc6.1 Rate and Quantity Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff SSc6.2 Treatment Limit disruption of natural water flows by eliminating stormwater runoff, increasing on-site infiltration and eliminating contaminates

10 SSc6.1 Rate and Quantity Requirements If existing imperviousness is less than or equal to 50%, implement a stormwater management plan that prevents the post-development 1.5 year, 24-hour hour peak discharge rate and quantity from exceeding the predevelopment 1.5 year, 24-hour peak discharge rate and quantity.

11 OR, SSc6.1 Rate and Quantity If existing imperviousness is greater than 50%, implement a stormwater management plan that results in a 25% decrease in the rate and quantity of stormwater runoff

20 SSc6.1 Calculations Option1 Specified by runoff coefficients for various generic surface types Result: too simplistic Option 2 Stormwater management plan Better Solution: use water balance modelling ling to calculate volumetric reductions on a yearly or multi year basis

21 SSc6.1 Calculations Water Balance Model (waterbalance( waterbalance.ca) Continuous Hydrological Modelling Must use a method that accurately simulates evaporation and infiltration over an entire year to ensure that the volumetric objectives are being met.

22 SSc6.1 Calculations Stormwater Volume Reduction Cumulative Volume (m 3 ) % Impervious Volume = 2851 m 3 100% Impervious Volume = 3802 m Hourly Rain (mm) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 25 Typical Year Existing Site (100% Impervious) Proposed Building (4520 sf Green Roof) Rain

25 SSc6.2 Treatment Requirements Construct site stormwater treatment systems designed to remove 80% of the average annual post-development TSS and 40% of the average annual post-development total phosphorus based on average annual loadings for all storms less than or equal to the 2-2 year, 24-hour storm.

47 BC Stormwater Guidelines Federal Criteria (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) Capture Criteria (6-month - 24 hour) Flow Criteria (6-month, 2-year, 2 5-year 5 24 hour) Water Quality Criteria (not as strict as LEED) Provincial Criteria (Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection) Capture Criteria (50% Mean Annual Rainfall) Detention Criteria (6-month, Mean Annual Rainfall or 2-year) 2 Flood Criteria (100-year)

48 Summary Use water balance/hydrologic modelling to calculate SSc6.1. SSc6.2 is more difficult to obtain and is site dependent. There are synergies with other credits. Following current Provincial and DFO will meet SSc6.1.
