Permit #:
All Project Applicants with 5,000 sq. ft. or more of impervious surface on the project site
must fill out this worksheet and submit it with the development project application to the
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. Contact Public Works at (408) 777-
3354 for guidance
C.3 Regulated Projects are projects that create and/or replace 10,000 sq. ft. or more of
impervious surface on the project site AND All restaurants, auto service facilities, retail
gasoline outlets, and uncovered parking lot projects that create and/or replace 5,000 sq. ft. or
more of impervious surface on the project site.
All applicants with C.3 Regulated projects must reserve a minimum of 4% of developable
surface area for the placement of storm water treatment facilities unless an alternative storm
water treatment plan is approved by the Public Works Engineer.
What is an Impervious Surface?
An impervious surface is a covering or pavement that prevents the land's natural ability to absorb
and infiltrate rainfall/stormwater. Impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to rooftops,
walkways, paved patios, driveways, parking lots, storage areas, concrete and asphalt, and any
other continuous watertight pavement or covering. Pervious pavement, underlain with pervious
soil or pervious storage material (e.g., drain rock), that infiltrates rainfall at a rate equal to or
greater than surrounding unpaved areas OR that stores and infiltrates the water quality design
volume specified in Provision C.3.d of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), is not
considered an impervious surface.

2. Feasibility Screening for Infiltration
Do site soils either (a) have a saturated hydraulic conductivity* (Ksat) that will NOT allow infiltration of 80% of
the annual runoff (that is, the Ksat is LESS than 1.6 inches/hour), or, if the Ksat rate is not available, (b) consist of
Type C or D soils?'
No —complete the Infiltration Feasibility Worksheet. If infiltration of the C.3.d
F]Yes (continue)
amount of runoff is found to be feasible, there is no need to complete the rest of this
screening worksheet.
3. Recycled Water Use
Check the box if the project is installing and using a recycled water plumbing system for non -potable water use.
FIThe project is installing a recycled water plumbing system, and installation of a second non -potable water system
for harvested rainwater is impractical, and considered infeasible due to cost considerations. Skip to Section 6.
4. Calculate the Potential Rainwater Capture Area* for Screening of Harvesting and Use
Complete this section for the entire project area. If rainwater harvesting and use is infeasible for the entire site, and
the project includes one or more buildings that each have an individual roof area of 10, 000 sq. ft. or more, then
complete Sections 4 and 5 of this form for each of these buildings.

4.2 Answer this question ONLY if you are completing this section for the entire project area. If existing impervious
surface will be replaced by the project, does the area to be replaced equal 50% or more of the existing area of
impervious surface? (Refer to Table 1, Row "a". Is the area in Column 2 > 50% of Column 1?)
Yes, C.3. stormwater treatment requirements apply to areas of impervious surface that will remain in place as
well as the area created and/or replaced. This is known as the 50% rule.

4.3 Enter the square footage of the Potential Rainwater Capture Area*. If you are evaluating only the roof area of a
building, or you answered "no" to Question 4.2, this amount is from Row "b" in Table 1. If you answered "yes"
to Question 4.2, this amount is the sum of Rows "b" and "c" in Table 1.:
square feet.
4.4 Convert the measurement of the Potential Rainwater Capture Area* from square feet to acres (divide the
amount in Item 4.3 by 43,560):

(Note that the landscape area(s) would have to be contiguous and within the same Drainage Management Area to
use harvested rainwater for irrigation via gravity flow.)
F]Yes (continue) F]No — Direct runoff from impervious areas to self-retaining areas* OR refer to
Table 11 and the curves in Appendix F of the LID Feasibility Report to

Check "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether the following conditions apply to the project. If "Yes" is checked for any question, then
infiltration is infeasible, and you can continue to Item 3.1 without answering any further questions in Section 2. If all of the answers in
Section 2 are "No," then infiltration is feasible, and you may design infiltration facilities * for the area from which runoff must be
treated. Items 2.1 through 2.3 address the feasibility of using infiltration facilities*, as well as the potential need to line bioretention

or has the applicant documented economic hardship in relation to maintenance costs? (If so, attach an 1:1Yes E]No
explanation.)
5.3 Do constraints, such as a slope above 10% or lack of available space at the site, make it infeasible to

5.4
Are there geotechnical/stability concerns related to the surface (roof or ground) where a cistern would Yes No

Note 1: It is assumed that projects with significant amounts of landscaping will either treat runoff with landscape dispersal (self -treating and
self-retaining areas) or will evaluate the feasibility of havesting and using rainwater for irrigation using the curves in Appendix F of the LID

- /f "FEASIBLE" is indicated for Item 6.1 the amount of stormwater requiring treatment must be treated with harvesting/use, unless it is

--> If "INFEASIBLE" is checked for Item 6. 1, then the applicant may use appropriately designed bioretention `1 facilities for compliance
with C.3 treatment requirements. If Ksat > 1.6 in./hr., and infiltration is unimpeded by subsurface conditions, then the bioretention facilities
are predicted to infiltrate 80% or more average annual runoff. If Ksat < 1. 6, maximize infiltration of stormwater by using bioretention if site
conditions allow, and remaining runoff will be discharged to storm drains via facility underdrains. If site conditions preclude infiltration, a
lined bioretention area or flow-through planter may be used.

5 To qualify for the location credit, at least 50% of the project's site must be located within the 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile radius of an existing
or planned transit hub, as defined on page 1, footnote 2. A planned transit hub is a station on the MTC's Regional Transit Expansion
Program list, per MTC's Resolution 3434 (revised April 2006), which is a regional priority funding plan for future transit stations in the
San Francisco Bay Area. To qualify for the PDA location credit, 100% of the project site must be located within a PDA, as defined on
page 1, footnote 3.
The at -grade surface parking must be treated with LID treatment measures.
