Question Title

* 6. The most significant challenge with implementing the PCRs during the project DESIGN phase is:

(Pick up to three choices)

Explaining the requirements to the owner/developer.

Lack of surface space available for structural control measures.

The expense of constructing/installing structural control measures.

Location conflicts with other infrastructure (utilities, setbacks, etc.)

Location conflicts with building structures or other structures (foundations, walls, etc.).

Design requirements are too complicated or not adequately explained.

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 7. The most significant challenge with implementing the PCRs during the project CONSTRUCTION phase is:

Elevations specified for stormwater control measures are overlooked or modified in the field.

Lack of suitable materials available locally for use or substitution.

Unexpected utility conflicts or siting problems.

Damage to newly constructed stormwater measures due to phasing of site construction.

Design/Engineer Team not available to provide review and support to contractor during construction.
