NURP water quality treatment standards of 2.5 inches over the entire contributing drainage area is required . Pleas e provide calculations showing this water quality standard is being met. 7. Pretreatment is not specified for Pond 2P by the NW Bus Parking lot. P retreatment is required prior to all infiltration areas. 8. The HydroCAD model should calculate separate pervious and impervious areas. 9.
