NR 151.12(5)(c)2.2. For non-residential development, including commercial, industrial and institutional development, one of the following shall be met:
NR 151.12(5)(c)2.a.a. For this subdivision only, the “project site” means the rooftop and parking lot areas.
NR 151.12(5)(c)2.b.b. Infiltrate sufficient runoff volume so that the post-development infiltration volume shall be at least 60% of the pre-development infiltration volume, based on an average annual rainfall. However, when designing appropriate infiltration systems to meet this requirement, no more than 2% of the project site is required as an effective infiltration area.
NR 151.12(5)(c)2.c.c. Infiltrate 10% of the post-development runoff volume from the 2-year, 24-hour design storm with a type II distribution. Separate curve numbers for pervious and impervious surfaces shall be used to calculate runoff volumes and not composite curve numbers as defined in TR-55. However, when designing appropriate infiltration systems to meet this requirement, no more than 2% of the project site is required as an effective infiltration area.
NR 151.12(5)(c)3.3. Pre-development condition shall be the same as specified in par. (b).
NR 151.12 NoteNote: A model that calculates runoff volume, such as SLAMM, P8 or an equivalent methodology may be used. Information on how to access SLAMM and P8 is available from the storm water coordinator in the runoff management section of the bureau of watershed management at dnr.wi.gov.
NR 151.12(5)(c)4.4. Before infiltrating runoff, pretreatment shall be required for parking lot runoff and for runoff from new road construction in commercial, industrial and institutional areas that will enter an infiltration system. The pretreatment shall be designed to protect the infiltration system from clogging prior to scheduled maintenance and to protect groundwater quality in accordance with subd. 8. Pretreatment options may include, but are not limited to, oil/grease separation, sedimentation, biofiltration, filtration, swales or filter strips.
NR 151.12 NoteNote: To achieve the infiltration requirement for the parking lots or roads, maximum extent practicable should not be interpreted to require significant topography changes that create an excessive financial burden. To minimize potential groundwater impacts it is desirable to infiltrate the cleanest runoff. To achieve this, a design may propose greater infiltration of runoff from low pollutant sources such as roofs, and less from higher pollutant source areas such as parking lots.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.5. Exclusions. The runoff from the following areas are prohibited from meeting the requirements of this paragraph:
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.a.a. Areas associated with tier 1 industrial facilities identified in s. NR 216.21 (2) (a), including storage, loading, rooftop and parking.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.b.b. Storage and loading areas of tier 2 industrial facilities identified in s. NR 216.21 (2) (b).
NR 151.12 NoteNote: Runoff from tier 2 parking and rooftop areas may be infiltrated but may require pretreatment.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.c.c. Fueling and vehicle maintenance areas.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.d.d. Areas within 1000 feet upgradient or within 100 feet downgradient of karst features.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.e.e. Areas with less than 3 feet separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of seasonal high groundwater or the top of bedrock, except this subd. 5. e. does not prohibit infiltration of roof runoff.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.f.f. Areas with runoff from industrial, commercial and institutional parking lots and roads and residential arterial roads with less than 5 feet separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of seasonal high groundwater or the top of bedrock.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.g.g. Areas within 400 feet of a community water system well as specified in s. NR 811.16 (4) or within 100 feet of a private well as specified in s. NR 812.08 (4) for runoff infiltrated from commercial, industrial and institutional land uses or regional devices for residential development.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.h.h. Areas where contaminants of concern, as defined in s. NR 720.03 (2), are present in the soil through which infiltration will occur.
NR 151.12(5)(c)5.i.i. Any area where the soil does not exhibit one of the following characteristics between the bottom of the infiltration system and the seasonal high groundwater and top of bedrock: at least a 3-foot soil layer with 20% fines or greater; or at least a 5-foot soil layer with 10% fines or greater. This subd. 5. i. does not apply where the soil medium within the infiltration system provides an equivalent level of protection. Subdivision 5. i. does not prohibit infiltration of roof runoff.
NR 151.12 NoteNote: The areas listed in subd. 5. are prohibited from infiltrating runoff due to the potential for groundwater contamination.
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.6. Exemptions. The following are not required to meet the requirements of this paragraph:
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.a.a. Areas where the infiltration rate of the soil is less than 0.6 inches/hour measured at the bottom of the infiltration system.
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.b.b. Parking areas and access roads less than 5,000 square feet for commercial and industrial development.
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.c.c. Redevelopment post-construction sites.
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.d.d. In-fill development areas less than 5 acres.
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.e.e. Infiltration areas during periods when the soil on the site is frozen.
NR 151.12(5)(c)6.f.f. Roads in commercial, industrial and institutional land uses, and arterial residential roads.
NR 151.12(5)(c)7.7. Where alternate uses of runoff are employed, such as for toilet flushing, laundry or irrigation, such alternate use shall be given equal credit toward the infiltration volume required by this paragraph.
NR 151.12(5)(c)8.8.
