We have designed this project to have little to no impact on local water volumes, per the requirements of MCCD, which dictate that post-development peak flow rates must be detained or reduced from the 2, 5, 25, 50, and 100-year storm events pre-development. These stringent requirements not only control high flow rates and erosive velocities of the outfall channels but also mitigate large post-development volumes of water flushing the river system.

All runoff volume impacted by Swiftwater Solar will be released into the system at a slower rate than what is the case currently with the use of basins, which promote higher infiltration rates and ensures groundwater recharge after large storm events.
