and drainage patterns. The report and grading plan must be prepared by a
professional engineer registered in Colorado. For water quality, extended
detention is the recommended method to treat the runoff and is required for
redevelopment of a site. This is a 40-hour sedimentation pond. Other acceptable
methods may be found in Volume Three of the materials published by the Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District.
13. One-half of the site drains north and one-half drains south. For the northern one-
half, stormwater flows into the barrow ditch along Harmony Road. This water
ultimately flows into the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch. Erosion control structures, and
possibly ditch improvements, will be needed for draining into this outfall. For the
southern one-half, there are storm sewer outlets in Rock Creek Drive which is an
approved public outfall for this site. Detention pond volume must be designed for
the 100-year storm. According to the master drainage plan, the maximum
allowable release rate from the detention ponds is .5 cubic feet per second. For
further information, please contact Basil Harridan, 221-6700.
