Which approach will contribute to maintaining compliance with Sustainable Sites Credit, Rainwater Management?
A . Installing bioretention area
B . Installing on-site renewable power generation facility
C . Substituting impervious surface area with high-albedo paving materials
D . Increase artificial turf on the roof

Answer: A

Explanation:

Installing a bioretention area is an example of a low-impact development (LID) practice that can reduce runoff volume and improve water quality by replicating the natural hydrology and water balance of the site. This approach will contribute to maintaining compliance with Sustainable Sites Credit, Rainwater Management, which requires designing the site to retain the runoff from the developed site for at least the 80th percentile of rainfall events1.
