Water quality volume method
SFWMD ERP AH Vol II: wet detention volume for the first inch of runoff from the developed project (or 2.5 in over the basin for projects with ≥50% impervious / special cases per rule); dry detention = 75% of wet; retention = 50% of wet. Quantity: off-site discharge typically based on 3-day / 25-year storm unless local criteria are more stringent; 100-year / 3-day considered for flood protection / finished floors.
