What do my results mean and how do I increase my rating?

Achievement of a 100% STORM rating means you have achieved a 45% reduction in the typical annual load of total nitrogen and achieved best practice objectives.

To improve your STORM rating you need to provide treatment for impervious surfaces that currently have no treatment or increase the size of existing treatments.
