List the sustainability performance measures and how they are employed from the following
three pages and delete the measures not utilized by your project. In addition, list measures
illustrated on the various project pages.
Ecological
•
Encourage ecological connectivity and habitat function.
•
Maintain and enhance biodiversity and ecological goods and services.
•
Planting-based carbon sequestration and air quality improvements
Stormwater (Water Conservation/LID award list measures employed)
•
Design and construct landscapes that are capable of high rates of stormwater absorption, infiltration, and treatment.\
•
_______________Percent (%) precipitation managed on site
•
_______________Percent (%) waste water reused on site
•
_______________Percent (%) regulated potable water reduction from baseline
•
Reduce water consumption and protect water quality by designing a water-efficient landscape.
•
Use pervious pavements and reduce impervious surfaces, where appropriate, to increase on-site infiltration, reduce
stormwater runoff and water pollution, and reduce urban heat island effect.
•
Minimizing stormwater impacts to the extent practicable by employing low impact development strategies that reduce,
control and treat stormwater runoff as close to the source as possible.
•
Techniques include reducing imperviousness, conserving natural resources and ecosystems, maintaining natural drainage
courses, reducing use of pipes, and minimizing clearing and grading.
•
Providing runoff storage measures dispersed uniformly throughout a site's landscape with the use of detention, retention, and
runoff practices.
•
Implement construction plans for pollution prevention, chemical source control, sedimentation and erosion control, and
interim stormwater management.
•
Use of green infrastructure techniques enabling infiltration, evapotranspiration, bioremediation, and permaculture.
•
Use surface and underground infiltration structures – including trenches, vaults/galleries, injection wells, dry wells, leaching
fields, rain barrels, etc. on site to reduce stormwater runoff volumes and peak flows, improve water quality, and promote
groundwater recharge.
•
Design bioretention shallow swales and basins with diverse landscaping in an engineered soil medium to reduce, detain, and
treat stormwater runoff.
•
Use constructed wetlands – permanent pools of water that are populated by wetland plants and aquatic organisms – to
reduce, re-/detain and treat stormwater runoff.
•
Use recycled r1 or r2 water and graywater.
•
Use of LICH Irrigation Water Conservation BMPs.
•
Maintain or restore a watershed's hydrologic and ecological functions.
•
