Part II.C.2.a.iii.
  iii. Overbank Flood Control Criteria (Qp): Requires storage to
  attenuate the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge
  rate (Qp) to predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not
  apply when:

  1. the site directly discharges to tidal waters or fifth order or
  larger streams, or

  2. A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not
  required.

  iv. Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf): Requires storage to attenuate
  the post-development 100-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qf)
  to predevelopment rates. The Qf requirement does not apply when:

  1. the site directly discharges to tidal waters or fifth order or
  larger streams, or

  2. A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not
  required.

b. Sizing Criteria for New Development in Enhanced Phosphorus
  Removal Watersheds

  i. Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) and Water Quality Volume (WQv):

  1. Reduce the WQv by application of RR techniques and
  standard SMPs with RRv capacity. The total WQv is the
  runoff volume from the 1-year, 24-hour design storm over
  the post-developed watershed and must be calculated in
  accordance with the criteria in Section 4.3 of the DM; or

  2. Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv:
  Construction activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part
  II.C.2.b.i.1. due to site limitations must direct runoff from all
  newly constructed impervious areas to a RR technique or
  standard SMP with RRv capacity unless infeasible. The
  specific site limitations that prevent the reduction of 100% of
  the WQv must be documented in the SWPPP. For each
  impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or
  standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include
