    The document contains two tables summarizing the size of vertical conductors and leaders based on nominal diameter and flow capacity. The first table provides the allowable projected roof area in square feet for various rates of rainfall per hour. The second section allows for an alternative controlled flow storm water system where the roof drainage system can be sized based on equivalent maximum roof areas using flow control devices, subject to approval from the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Such a system must be designed, installed, inspected and certified as a special engineered plumbing system.

    13.9 CONTROLLED FLOW STORM WATER SYSTEM·

    13.9.1 Application
    In lieu of sizing the storm drainage system on the basis of actual maximum projected roof areas as previously
    described in this Chapter, the roof drainage system, or part thereof may be sized on equivalent or adjusted
    maximum projected roof areas that result from controlled flow and storage of storm water on the roof pro-
    vided flow control devices are used and subject to the approval ofthe Authority Having Jurisdiction.

    13.9,2 Design
    A controlled flow storm water system shall be designed, installed, inspected and certified as an engineered
    special design plumbing system as outlined in Appendix E ofthis Code.
