V. CONCLUSIONS
Compliance with Standards
All computations within this report have been completed in compliance with the
City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria.
Drainage Concept
The proposed drainage concepts presented in this study and shown on the
preliminary grading and drainage plans adequately provide for the conveyance and
detention of developed runoff from the proposed Registry Ridge development. The
100 year SWMM developed SWMM model shows that this development will have no
increased flows leaving the site. All detention ponds to be incorporated into final
design should include multiple release/water quality outlet structures, along with
emergency overflow weirs.
If groundwater is encountered during construction, and dewatering is used to
install utilities, a State of Colorado Construction Dewatering Wastewater Discharge
Permit will be required.
Stormwater Quality
Because water quality is important to this developer, water quality mechanism
will be incorporated into all aspects of final design of drainage systems. The proposed
water quality ponds proposed in this study will require regular maintenance to remove
deposits as they accumulate. The storm water quality outlet works will release the first
flush of storm water runoff over a period of time in order for pollutants to settle out of
the runoff.
Erosion Control Concepts
Per the City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference Manual for Construction
Sites, at the time of Final Design, the erosion control performance standard will need
to be calculated and appropriate measures taken to control rain and wind erosion from
the site.
outlet/water quality structure will be included in final design of this pond. This pond will
be located in an area designated as future commercial area.
Basin 405 - Developed flows for this Basin will be routed to a small detention
pond by a series of curb & gutter, open channels, and storm sewers. This pond will be
situated to the south of existing Lang Gulch and the City defined Flood limits. Per the
developed SWMM model, detention volume required for this pond is 1.7 ac-ft., with an
additional requirement for 1.0 ac-ft for water quality capture volume. peak release from
this pond to Lang Gulch is 9.6 cfs. A water quality/multiple release outlet structure will
be incorporated into this pond. Developed flows from Basin 407 is tentatively planned
to be routed through this pond.
Basin 406 - Developed flows from this basin will not be detained. Runoff will be
conveyed to Lang Gulch by a series of curb & gutter, open channels, and storm
sewers. There is approximately 124 acres upstream of this basin which contribute
approximately 328 cfs to Lang Gulch. The contributary area to Lang Gulch in this area
was reduced to help mitigate the increased effects of development would have on the
peak flows to downstream properties. The peaks flows in conveyance element 75
(directly downstream of that portion of Lang Gulch in this development were
decreased from 355.8 cfs to 346.9 cfs. The existing SWMM model showed that 38.5
ac-ft of runoff backed up west of South Shields Street. The developed model reduced
this backup to 33.1 ac-ft, and reduced the peak flows in the existing 66" RCP culvert
under Shields from 233.5 cfs to 227.1 cfs.
Grading in this basin, and especially adjacent to Lang Gulch will be limited.
Much of the existing vegetation will remain intact. This will be advantages to this
development by providing a water quality mechanism for this basin.
Basin 407 - Developed runoff from this basin is shown in this study to be
routed through Basin 405 and the associated detention pond by a series of Storm
Sewers. The existing topography in this basin historically drains to the southeast into
an open channel, and then northerly up to the existing pipe crossing at Shields. It is
likely that at final design, developed runoff will be routed to conform closer to historic
patterns. There is no easements in place at this time that would allow for developed
runoff from this site to be routed as historically flow patterns indicate.
IV. EROSION CONTROL
General Concept
Registry Ridge lies within the Moderate Rainfall Erodibility Zone, and the
Moderate Wind Erodibility Zone, per the City of Fort Collins zone maps. At the time of
final design, Per the City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference Manual for
Construction Sites, the erosion control performance standard will need to be
calculated, and appropriate measures designed to control rain and wind erosion during
and after construction.
final design, offsite easements are not available, developed runoff from this basin
could be piped easterly, and released into Basin 402 conveyance system.
There is approximately 50 acres upstream of this basin that will contribute
171.7 cfs peak 100 year flow to Pond 601 (per the developed SWMM model).
Basin 402 - Developed runoff from this basin will be conveyed to the Southwest
comer of Shields and Trilby Road, by a series of curb and gutter, open channels, and
storm sewers to a proposed detention pond, then piped under Shields, and conveyed
by open channel to an existing 72" RCP crossing Trilby @ Lang Gulch. This basin
also includes areas designated as future patio homes. A multiple release pond outlet
structure will be incorporated into final design which will provide a water quality
control, as well as to further restrict minor storm events. Per the developed SWMM
model, required detetnion volume for this pond is 1.5 ac-ft. An additional 0.6 ac-ft of
volume will be included for water quality capture volume.
The developer of Registry Ridge also owns the area east of Shields Street to
the existing C&S railroad. There is a possibility that during final design, this pond could
be moved east of Shields. There will be in any case, a water quality and detention
pond incorporated into the system prior to developed runoff being released into Lang
Gulch.
Trilby Road has been master planned to be widened to a full Arterial section.
With this development, Trilby Road will be widened to a 36' section with no curb and
gutter. When and if Trilby is widened to a full arterial section, flows shown on this plan
as being conveyed in an open channel might need to be conveyed along Trilby Road
in a storm sewer system. The intent of the proposed drainage system in this basin will
not be affected whether ultimate flows are conveyed by an open channel or a pipe
system.
Basin 403 - Has been designated as future multi family housing. A small pond
has been considered in the southeast comer of this basin. Flows will be routed from
this pond through the proposed pond in Basin 404, across Shields, and ultimately into
Lang Gulch. There is a possibility that this pond would be incorporated into the
Detetnion pond in Basin 404. Per the developed SWMM model, detention volume for
this pond is 0.5 ac-ft. Water quality capture volume would require an additional 0.15
ac-ft.
Basin 404 - Developed runoff from Basin 404 will be conveyed easterly by a
series of curb & gutter, open channels, and storm sewers to a detention pond located
to the easterly edge of the basin adjacent to South Shields Street. There is an
additional 39 acres upstream of this basin that will contribute approximately 46.6 cfs to
be routed through this pond. The pond will outlet to a 27" RCP under Shields, then by
open channel to Lang Gulch. Volume requirements for this pond, per the developed
SWMM model are 8.2 ac-ft, with an additional 1.7 ac-ft for water quality capture
volume. Peak 100 year release form this pond will be 39.0 cfs. A multiple release
development on the overall model. The existing 100 year model, prior to development
of Registry Ridge was slightly modified to reflect 2 existing culverts under Trilby Road.
This model was then used as a base for the developed conditions model. The
developed model incorporated 5 separate detention pond within the proposed
development. Copies of the existing and revised model output files are included in this
report.
Hydraulic Criteria
City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria has been used for all hydraulic
calculations.
Preliminary Drainage Concepts
This development has been broken into 7 primary drainage basins, Basins 401
through 407. Basins 401, 402, 403, 404, and 405 have detention facilities incorporated
into the system. Basin 407 will be routed through Basins 405 Detention pond.
Developed flows from Basin 406 will not be detained. Basins 401 - 407 correspond to
Basins 401 - 407 in the developed SWMM model.
Basin 401 will ultimately release into the Smith Creek drainage, via an existing
tributary which crosses Trilby Road, and flows to the north. Basins 402, 403, and 404
will be detained, directed under South Shields, and on to Lang Gulch, east of the
existing crossing under Shields. Developed flows from Basins 405, 406, and 407 will
be released into Lang Gulch upstream of the existing crossing at South Shields.
Specific Drainage Concepts
Basin 401 - Developed runoff from this basin will be routed to the northwest
comer of the basin to a proposed detention pond, by a combination of streets, swales
and storm sewers. Flows will be routed through the existing 48" RCP culvert under
Trilby Road, and ultimately to Smith Creek, approximately 2000' feet north of Trilby.
Approximately 5.2 ac-ft of runoff presently ponds south of Trilby. The proposed pond
will be increased to accommodate 8.2 ac-ft of detention storage plus an additional 0.6
ac-ft for water quality ponding. A multiple release structure will be incorporated onto
the outlet from this pond, to further restrict runoff from smaller storm events than the
100 year peak outflow. Per the existing and developed SWMM model, peak 100 year
runoff from this Basin will be reduced from 76.7 cfs to 76.6 cfs.
Per City of Fort Collins Storrnwater Criteria, the tributary that drains Basin 401
is not a named Drainageway. Therefore, it will be a requirement at final design for this
development to obtain a letter of intent for a drainage easement from all downstream
property owners along this tributary. To help mitigate the increased volume of
developed runoff, a pond infiltration system will be evaluated at final design. By
installing a outlet control structure, the developed peak runoff rates will also be
reduced. In addition, there will be added water quality controls built in the pond. If at
of offsite drainage which will be routed through developed basins 402-407 (Lang Gulch
tributary). The existing culvert under Trilby Road, tributary to Smith Creek is a 48"
RCP. The existing culvert under South Shields Street at Lang Gulch is a 66" RCP.
There is some existing wetlands areas within the Lang Gulch Drainage area. A
separate report by Riverside Technology is being submitted along with the Preliminary
submittal for Registry Ridge.
Flood limits, as established by the City of Fort Collins, have been shown on
these plans. During final design of the areas affecting flows around these flood limits
will include a HEC2 analysis of the existing flows, as well as new development.
111. DEVELOPED DRAINAGE
Developed Conditions
The proposed development will consist of Low and Medium density single
family residential lots, with associated residential streets and utilities. There are
parcels included in this site for future Patio Homes, Commercial, School, Park, and
Recreational Center. Access to this development will be from Trilby Road and South
Shields Street.
Detention is not a requirement of development within the Fossil Creek Major
Drainage Basin. However, the developer of Registry Ridge wants to incorporate
detention facilities into the drainage system to provide a water quality mechanism into
this system, as well as negate the possibilities of further bank erosion along Lang
Gulch or Smith Creek.
Design Criteria and References
Drainage criteria outlined in both the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design
Criteria Manual. and Storm Drainage Criteria Manual by the Urban Drainage and
Flood Control District have been used for this Preliminary Drainage Study. The Fossil
Creek Drainage Basin Master Drainageway Planning Study, by Simons, Li &
Associates has also been used as a reference for this Study.
Hydrologic Criteria
The Rational Method was used to estimate peak stormwater runoff from the
proposed site. The 2 year storm event and the 100 year storm event was used to
evaluate the proposed drainage system. Rainfall intensity data for the Rational method
was taken from the City of Fort Collins Storrnwater Utility Intensity curves (Figure 3-1).
The existing 100 year SWMM model for Fossil Creek, as developed as a part of
the Fossil Creek Master Plan, was also used to determine the effects of this

Commercial area, Recreation Center area, School site, and future park site.
11. HISTORIC DRAINAGE
This site is located within the Fossil Creek Master Drainage basin, as defined
by the City of Fort Collins Storrnwater Utility, and is included as a part of a study
entitled "Fossil Creek Drainage Basin, Master Drainageway PlanningStudy' tudy' by
Simons & Li, dated August 1982. Portions of that study have been included in the
appendix. The SWMM model, developed as a part of the Master Study was also
utilized within this report. A copy of the original 100 year SWMM model, as well as a
revised model including the Registry Ridge development is included in this report
The majority of the site is tributary to Lang Gulch (Developed basins 402
through 407), which crosses the southerly leg of the property. The northwest comer of
the site drains to a tributary of Smith Creek (developed basin 401). This tributary
connects with Smith Creek approximately 2000 feet north of Trilby Road. Smith Creek
and Lang Gulch come together approximately 2000 feet east of South Shields Street.
Ponding presently occurs along Lang Gulch west of South Shields, west of the C&S
railroad, and south of Trilby Road. Ponding occurs along the Smith Creek tributary
south of Trilby Road.
There is approximately 49.5 acres of offsite drainage which will be routed
through developed basin 401 (Smith Creek tributary), and approximately 228.6 acres
