Greened Acre Calculation Methods Clause Samples

Greened Acre Calculation Methods. Acre is a metric to describe the volume of stormwater, in acre-inches, managed by GSI. It is equivalent to the product of the acres of directly connected impervious drainage area and the inches of runoff captured over that area. Where: As stated in the COA, GSI designs aim to control at least 1.0 inch of runoff, and up to 1.5 inches of runoff, unless otherwise deemed feasible by engineering design. Based on Philadelphia’s hydrology and infiltration performance, a maximum runoff depth of 2.0 inches is deemed appropriate for Greened Acres. Because rainfall events exceeding that depth are infrequent in a typical year, PWD has capped runoff depth at 2.0 inches. To determine the depth of runoff captured, the available static storage volume is calculated by analyzing post-construction stormwater management plans. Available static storage is the volume of void space between the top of storage elevation and bottom of storage elevation. The volume of void space is dependent on the porosity of the storage media present. Present assumptions for typical storage media are as follows: 40% for gravel, 30% for sand, 20% for soil, 92% for perforated pipes, and 100% for tanks and solid storage pipes. For proprietary structures, the porosity is as defined by the manufacturer. Static storage volume calculation methods can vary slightly, depending on the design of the system. The volume is converted from cubic feet to inches of runoff, which is then used in the Greened Acre equation. Storage volume can be managed in one of three ways: infiltration, slow release, or in the case of green roofs, evapotranspiration. Infiltration volume is the static storage below the lowest outlet point to the combined sewer. The top of storage is the elevation of an orifice invert, weir, grate, or riser, below which all water will infiltrate into the surrounding soils. Slow release volume is the static storage volume above an orifice, with the top of storage equal to the head that produces the peak allowable release rate, in cubic feet per second per acre of impervious drainage area, or the elevation of an overflow outlet such as a ▇▇▇▇ or larger orifice. Public GSI systems are designed with enough storage for the water quality volume only, between

  • Balance Computation Method For all accounts, dividends are calculated by the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (e.g., checks) to your account if deposited before the close of business. If you close any of your dividend earning accounts before dividends are credited you may not receive the accrued dividends up to the date of account closure.

  • Pro Forma Calculations (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios, tests and covenants, including the Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.9. (b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio, covenant or test, Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment (excluding voluntary repayments) of any Debt in connection therewith to be subject to Section 1.9(c)) that have been made (i) during the applicable measurement period and (ii) subsequent to such period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable measurement period. If, since the beginning of any applicable period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.9, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.9. (c) In the event that Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment (other than voluntary repayments), retirement or extinguishment) any Debt included in the calculations of any financial ratio, covenant or test (in each case, other than Debt incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Debt, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable period.
