Rhode Island (largely located on glacial till with loamy sands) clarified their position on vertical separation in 2016 in relation to LID including:
*reduction to 0.6 m when infiltrating water from residential roofs and driveways,
*flexibility when siting projects on brownfield (contaminated) land,
*limited flexbility in retrofit scenarios, and
*accounting for [[bioretention media]] as part of the overall separation depth from surface water to groundwater.
