Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter(cDfcgov.com i. The design engineer needs to review the drainage study for Ridgewood Hills Third Filing dated June 2000. In that report, Tract N was left to drain as it did historically, but in the future, the plan was to drain it through either Pond 1 to the north or a pond to the south. Tract T does drain to the south pond through a 36 inch pipe, but it appears the percent impervious used was for the existing undeveloped land. Therefore, the SWMM will need to - be updated with the proposed percent imperviousness. It appears both ponds may be oversized so there may be volume available for additional detention. The as -built volumes need to used in the model as well. The latest rainfall intensity curves need to be applied since the modeling used was the old rainfall. 2. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3, Best Management Practices (BMPs). Extended detention in the existing ponds is probably the easiest way to treat the runoff. However, if the existing ponds are used, the water quality capture volume will need to be calculated for the entire area draining to them. An option would be to provide onsite water quality treatment since the original system did not include water quality treatment. 3. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of.the Fossil Creek Drainage Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. 4. Stormwater development fees are $6,313/acre ($0.1449/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq. ft. In addition, there is a $1,045/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee.
