What is SS Credit 5 called?
|
Site Development
|
|
|
How many points are available for Site Development?
|
Two
|
|
|
What is the intent of the Site Development: Protect or Restore Habitat Credit 5.1?
|
Conserve existing natural areas and restore damaged areas to provide habitat and promote biodiversity.
|
|
|
What is required on greenfield sites for Site Development: Protect or Restore Habitat Credit 5.1
|
A Limit site disturbance to 40 feet beyond the building perimeter; 10 feet beyond surface walkways, patios, surface parking and utilities less than 12 inches in diameter; 15 feet beyond primary roadway curbs and main utility branch trenches; and 25 feet beyond constructed areas with permeable surfaces.
|
|
|
What is required on previously developed sites for Site Development: Protect or Restore Habitat Credit 5.1
|
A Restore or protect a minimum of 50% of the site area (excluding the building footprint) with native or adapted vegetation.
|
|
|
What is required for Site Development: Maximize Open Space Credit 5.2?
|
Reduce the development footprint and/or provide open space which exceeds the zoning requirements by 25% OR for areas with no zoning requirements, provide vegetated open space adjacent to the building equal to the building footprint, OR where a zoning ordinance exists, with no open space requirement, provide a vegetated open space equal to 20% of the project site area.

What is SS Credit 6 called?
|
Stormwater Design
|
|
|
What is the intent of the Storm water Design: Quantity Control Credit 6.1?
|
Limit disruption of natural hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, and managing storm water runoff.
|
|
|
What is the intent of Stormwater Design: Quality Control Credit 6.2?
|
Reduce or eliminate water pollution by reducing impervious cover, increasing onsite infiltration, eliminating source of contaminants, and removing pollutants from stormwater runoff.
|
|
|
How many points are available for Stormwater Design?
|
Two
|
|
|
What is required for Stormwater Design: Quantity Control Credit 6.1 - if existing imperviousness is less than or equal to 50%
|
A 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.
|
|
|
What is required for Stormwater Design: Quantity Control Credit 6.1 - if existing imperviousness is greater than 50%
|
A Implement a stormwater management plan that results in a 25% decrease in the volume of stormwater runoff from the 2 year, 24 hour design storm.
|
|
|
In Stormwater Design: Quantity Control Credit 6.1 , what are potential strategies for managing storm water flow
|
Design the project site to maintain natural stormwater flows by promoting infiltration. Specify vegetated and pervious paving to minimize impervious surfaces. Reuse stormwater volumes generated for non- potable uses such as landscape irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing and custodial uses.
|
|
|
What is required for Stormwater Design: Quality Control Credit 6.2?
|
Implement a stormwater management plan that reduces impervious cover, promotes infiltration, and captures and treats stormwater from 90% of the average annual rainfall using acceptable best management practices (BMP's). BMP's used to treat runoff must be capable of removing 80% of the average annual post development total suspended solids load based on existing monitoring reports.
|
|
|
What document describes the practices to be used to reduce storm water TSS and TP?
|
EPA's Guidance Specifying Management Measures for Sources of Non-Point Pollution in Coastal Waters, January 1993 (Document #EPA 840-B-92-002)
|
|
|
What is SS Credit 7 called?
|
Heat Island Effect
|
|
|
What is the intent of the Heat Island Effect Credit?
|
Reduce heat islands to minimize impact on microclimate and human and wildlife habitat
|
|
|
How many points are available for Heat Island Effect?
|
Two
|
|
|
How much time is allowed for the growth of shade provided plantings, to meet the minimum standard to reduce non-roof heat islands in the Heat Island Effect: Non-Roof Credit 7.1
|
A 5 years
|
|
|
What are the requirements to reduce non-roof heat island effects in Heat Island Effect: Non- Roof Credit 7.1
|
A Provide any combination of the following for 50% of the site hardscape: shade (within 5 years of occupancy), paving materials with a solar reflectance index (SRI) of at least 29, open grid paving system OR place a minimum of 50% parking spaces under cover (w/ SRI of at least 29)
|
|
|
What reflectance and emissivity standards and characteristics are required for roofing under Heat Island Effect: Roof Credit 7.2
|
A Use Energy Star® compliant and high emissivity roofing of at least 0.9 when tested in accordance with ASTM 408 and/or ASTM C 1371. Roofing materials should have SRI values greater than 78 for low-sloped roofs and 29 for steep-sloped roofs (where SRI is measured according to ASTM E903, ASTM E1918, and ASTM E1980).
|
|
|
What percentage of a roof's surface area must meet the defined performance criteria for Heat Island Effect: Roof Credit 7.2
|
A Minimum of 75% of the roof surface OR install a green roof for at least 50% of the roof area, OR install combinations of high albedo and vegetated roof can be used providing they collectively cover greater than 100% (calculated) of the roof area.
|
|
|
What is SS Credit 8 called?
|
Light Pollution Reduction
|
|
|
What is the intent of the Light Pollution Reduction Credit?
|
Minimize light trespass from the building and site, reduce sky-glow to increase night sky access, improve nighttime visibility through glare reduction, and reduce development impact on nocturnal environments.
