Using this illustration as an example, ask the 3 questions noted above:

1.  **IS THE STORMWATER MANAGED CLOSE TO ITS SOURCE?**

Mostly, no. Since these BMPs are concentrated in one part of the site, the stormwater runoff from the farther portions of the site is not managed close to the source.

2.  **ARE THE BMPS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE SITE?**

In this scenario, no. The BMPs are concentrated in on

ble as long as the BMPs are managing stormwater close to its source, are distributed throughout the site, and meet the drainage area limitations. The example below shows several dry wells around a building.

As with the example above, the 3 questions can be used again to determine if this meets the GI requirements:

# 1. IS THE STORMWATER MANAGED CLOSE TO ITS SOURCE?

Yes. The dry wells are located adjacent to the building, which is the source of the stormwater runoff managed by the dry wells.

- IS THE STORMWATER MANAGED CLOSE TO ITS SOURCE?
Yes. The pervious paving systems are located adjacent to the building and parking areas, which are the source of the stormwater runoff managed by the pervious paving.

- ARE THE BMPS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE SITE?
Again, the answer here is yes. The BMPs are not concentrated in any one location and are distributed around the site.

- ARE THE DRAINAGE AR
