Quantity Control
Opt 1 – Existing
imperviousness is less
than or equal 50% (one-
year, 24-hour design
storm – about 2.75” for
Maryland). 1” of rain
would require 890 gal.
storage for the 1500 sf
roof. Install 8 rain barrels.
Opt 2 – Reduce existing,
imperviousness greater
than 50%, volume
stormwater runoff by 25%
(two-year, 24-hour design
storm – about 3.5” for
Maryland)

13. SS c6.2 Stormwater Design–
Quality Control
Cincinnati receives 40” of
rain per year.
To meet this credit we’ll Rain garden
demonstrate that the site
can absorb 1” of rainfall.
The site can but the roof’s
900 gallons need to be
treated.
East rain barrels would
need to increase to 400
gallons
West side would need to
add a rain garden

green roof trays for ballast
and paint 765 sf with SRI
material 78.
