runoff retention component designed to capture stormwater runoff for
beneficial reuse, such as irrigation;

Designed with a slope of less than 2%;
|
(f)
|
Designed with a slope of equal to or greater than 2%;

(g)
|
Manufactured treatment devices that meet the definition of "green infrastructure" at § 225-182;

NOTES:
| |
(a)
|
80% TSS removal of the anticipated load, expressed as an annual
average, shall be achieved for the stormwater runoff from the net
increase of motor vehicle surface.
|
(b)
|
If the surface is considered regulated motor vehicle surface
because the water quality treatment for an area of motor vehicle surface
that is currently receiving water quality treatment either by vegetation
or soil, by an existing stormwater management measure, or by treatment
at a wastewater treatment plant is to be modified or removed, the
project shall maintain or increase the existing TSS removal of the
anticipated load expressed as an annual average or achieve 45% TSS
removal, whichever is greater.
