48. Storm water management works must be designed to treat the runoff volume or flow associated with the quality control rain whether the design of the work is based on a runoff volume or flow.
The quality control rain for a storm water management work whose design is based on a runoff volume is rainfall having a total rainfall level of 25 mm.
The quality control rain for a storm water management work whose design is based on a runoff flow is rainfall having an average rain intensity corresponding to 65% of the rain intensity having a 2-year return period based on rainfall intensity-duration-frequency data for a duration that may not exceed the concentration time of the territory draining to a storm water management work established using equation 3-3.
