3. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. Navy LID Policy (Nov 2007) Set a goal of no net increase in SW volume and sediment/nutrient loading from major renovation projects (>$5 M) & construction projects (>$750 K) by FY 2011 Directs that LID be considered for all projects that require storm water management Authorizes the establishment of a waiver process Requires that all efforts be made to incorporate LID in FY 08, 09, and 2010 projects

4. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. LID Policy Annual Report Information required to be included: Project title, brief description Type of funds Stage of the project (construction/design) Was LID used? –If so, what LID features were used and approximate the cost for installation LID features –If not, provide a reason Due by Nov 15 th for the preceding fiscal year

6. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) Section 438 “Storm Water Runoff Requirements for Federal Development Projects” “The sponsor of any development or redevelopment project involving a Federal facility with a footprint that exceeds 5,000 square feet shall use site planning, design, construction, and maintenance strategies for the property to maintain or restore, to the maximum extent technically feasible, the predevelopment hydrology of the property with regard to the temperature, rate, volume, and duration of flow.” Each agency is responsible for ensuring compliance

7. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) Each agency is responsible for ensuring compliance Reporting methods are TBD Footprint includes –All hard surfaces Buildings, pavement, sidewalks, porches, etc. –Other compacted infrastructure areas that are effectively impervious

8. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. Use all known, available, and reasonable methods of stormwater retention and/or reuse to prevent the off site discharge of stormwater runoff. There muste be a documented attempt to comply prior to requesting an exception due to technical infeasibility Site constraint examples: –Inadequate available land –Shallow bedrock, contaminated soils, shallow groundwater –Lack of non-potable reuse options –Structural or plumbing constraints –Soils that can not be sufficiently amended to provide requisite infiltration rates Maximum Extent Technically Feasible

9. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. EISA – Performance Options Option 1: Control 95th Percentile Rainfall Event (Q = P x Imp A) Incorporate the 95 th percentile storm in the SCS CN method calculations (NAVFAC) Manage rainfall onsite; infiltration, evapo- transpiration, and harvest and reuse Option 2: Preserve predevelopment hydrology (rate, volume, duration & temperature) Conduct hydrologic and hydraulic analyses Quantify post-construction hydrographs for the 1, 2, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year 24 hour storm events Maintain pre-development hydrographs for these storm events

10. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. UFC 3-210-10 August 2009 Revised AUG 2009 to accommodate Navy LID Policy and EISA 438 Defines pre-development condition –Conditions immediately prior to human development Defines LID design storm event –Larger of 95 th percentile rainfall (24 hr) or State/local requirement Runoff and volume calculations –Use NRCS TR-55

18. EISA Implementation Draft DOD Direction 5000 SF footprint –Only includes building and pavement –Does not include internal renovation or maintenance –Does not include resurface of existing pavement Maintain pre-development hydrology –Pre-development hydrology is defined as pre-project conditions wrt temperature, rate, volume, and duration Maximum Extent Technically Feasible subject to: –Site constraints –Regulatory constraints –Structural limitations –Demand for recycled water

19. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. EISA Implementation Draft DOD Direction If Design to METF but can’t Maintain Predevelopment Hydrology –May apply LID on nearby DOD property (available resources) Redevelopment Projects –Where no increase in post-project stormwater runoff (vice pre- project) is proposed, DOD components should consider restoration of natural hydrological conditions to the maximum extent practical NPDES Stormwater Permits –EISA 438 requirements independent of CWA –Permits should not include EISA requirements unless first promulgating EISA like requirements into CWA authority

20. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. EISA Draft Implementation Direction for DoD Projects Evaluate design options to meet objective to the maximum extent technically feasible (METF) Document EISA design and construction costs Complete a post construction analysis of features

21. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. EISA DoD Implementation Process Or MILCON within funding limits with stormwater component

22. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. State Design Requirements Varies State to State –Water quality volume –Water quality pollutant (VA) –Design storm –Predevelopment condition –Runoff reductions for redevelopment State regulations changing –VA out for public comment. More strict –DE under review –NY review process in 2010

23. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. Minimum Measure 5 – Post Construction Stormwater Management –Provide BMP location and acres treated –Conduct inspections to insure proper operation –Require long-term operation and maintenance TMDL Wasteload Allocations –Identify if BMP discharges to impaired water –Post construction stormwater management must be consistent with TMDL MS4 Permit Requirements

24. Copyright 2009 Low Impact Development Center, Inc. Must determine most restrictive design requirement LID policy, UFC, EISA, NPDES Requirements could change in future Documenting proper operation and maintenance of IMPs is important Summary
