Design Retention Capacity (DRC) is comprised of (1) the constructed volume of stormwater stored within the stone void spaces built into the ground and/or that can pond on the surface of the green infrastructure (“Constructed Volume”) and (2) the volume of water that can infiltrate into the ground beneath the green infrastructure during a six (6) hour time period (“Infiltration Volume”). Optional: When finalizing your Full Application, you will be asked to calculate your project's DRC using the MWRDGC Stormwater Design Retention Capacity Calculator.
This project may receive $0 per gallon of DRC up to a maximum of 0% of the project's green infrastructure construction cost.
