This plan outlines measures to control runoff and prevent soil erosion, which can carry pollutants into nearby water bodies. By managing stormwater on-site, projects can protect local water quality while also recharging groundwater supplies. References: LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook, U.S. Green Building Council resources

The LEED for Schools rating system includes specific requirements not found in other BD+C categories:

This makes "Minimum Acoustic Performance" a required prerequisite for schools.
