additional precipitation durations to determine the critical duration flood event. Analysis of the 10 -day snowmelt event is not required for stormwater management detention basins with a defined outlet elevation at or below the 100 -year 24-hour event elevation. 4) Water quality treatment. a. Land development activities creating impervious surface shall address the use of better site design (BSD) techniques as outlined in the Better Site Design and Low Impact Development sections of the Minnesota Stormwater Manual (MPCA, 2014 and subsequent revisions). b. The water quality treatment volume standard for all projects, except Public Linear projects, is determined as follows (Table 2): Table 2.
