What is an RTC system for stormwater?
Typical BMP/SCM implementation:
Overflow/Bypass
Volume Recovery/Drawdown
Runoff
Off-site drainage
CSS/SSS?Receiving stream?Downstream control?

Implementation & Control Logic
Goal: Optimize available storage volume Balance water conservation vs. runoff reduction
Strategy: Release water (if necessary) to rain garden during dry
weather prior to storm event Available storage volume = Anticipated runoff volume
