A brief description of the methodology/tool used to calculate the percentile local or regional rainfall events for which the institution manages runoff on-site using LID practices and green infrastructure:
We used the Green Values Stormwater Management Calculator. Total Campus acres = 74. managed = 12 acres. Trees = 1229, permeable paving, swales, green roof areas on the additional documentation from Green Values.
Green Values calculator = 54.7%
Evaporation of the remaining 47.2% is 75% or 35.4%
54.7% + 35.4% = 90.01 (90th percentile)
