VL EROSION CONTROL:
A. General Concept
1. Erosion control measures are specified on the Drainage and Erosion Control Plan.
a. Maintenance of erosion control devices will remain the responsibility of the contractor
and the owner until the project is complete.
VL EROSION CONTROL:
B. Specific Details
1. The following measures are specified on the Drainage and Erosion Control plan:
a. Area inlet filters composed of haybales around all area inlets.
b. Silt fence along the downstream property lines, particularly along Richards Lake.
c. Gravel inlet filters at all storm sewer inlets.
d. Haybale dikes within all swales.
VIL EROSION CONTROL SECURITY DEPOSIT:
An erosion control security deposit is required in accordance with City of Fort Collins policy
(Chapter 7, Section C : SECURITY; page 7.23 of the City of Fort Collins Development
Manual). In no instance shall the amount of the security be less than $1000.00.
1. According to current City of Fort Collins policy, the erosion control security deposit is
figured based on the larger amount of 1.5 times the estimated cost of installing the
approved erosion control measures or 1.5 times the cost to re -vegetate the anticipated area
to be disturbed by construction activity.
i The cost to install the proposed erosion control measures is approximately $10,500.00.
Refer to the cost estimate attached in Appendix I. 1.5 times the cost to install the erosion
control measures is $15,750.00
ii. Based on current data provided by the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility, and based
on an actual anticipated net affected area which will be disturbed by construction activity
(approximately 40 acres), we estimate that the cost to re -vegetate the disturbed area will be
$20,000 ($ 500 per acre x 40 acres). 1.5 times the cost to re -vegetate the disturbed area is
$30,000.00 The $500.00 per acre for re -seeding sites greater than 10 acres was quoted to
us by City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility personnel.
2. The erosion control security deposit amount required for Hearthfire P.U.D., First Filing will
be $30,000.00 See the Erosion Control Security Deposit Requirements document located in
Appendix H.

3. Two sidewalk culverts will be installed at a low point (Sta. 10+71.75) on Hearthfire Way.
The culverts will convey the stormwater from the streets to the wetlands. Sidewalk culverts
have been used because the proposed road elevation is essentially at grade. Installation of a
storm sewer in this area is not considered feasible and would result in more disturbance of
the wetlands.
4. Storm sewer (Profile C) will be installed at a low point on Hearthfire Drive. This storm
sewer will convey street flows to Pond 2 and act as the emergency overflow from the offsite
wetland area (Pond 1). The storm sewer consists of the following;
a. A 6 x 6 area inlet on the north side of Hearthfire Drive which will control the water
surface elevation in pond 1

Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report
Hearthfire P.U.D., First Filing
IV DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
1. The majority of the site (sub -basins A-B ) will be contributing stormwater to the two wetland
/ pond areas ( Pond 1 and 2) via a combination of:
a. overland flow
b. gutter flow
c. storm sewer flow
The grading of the site attempts to divert as much of the runoff into the wetland areas as
possible. This grading concept will continue with future filings.
2. The remainder of the site (sub -basins C-F) will contribute stormwater directly to Richard's
Lake or Douglas Road via the same methods of conveyance mentioned in section W.A.1.
3. Water quality will be addressed in the design of the outfalls of the storm sewer into Richard's
Lake. Refer to the Wetlands Mitigation Report prepared by T.R. Boss Associates.
4. Emergency overflow structures will be designed to pass any stormwater that exceeds the
storage capacity of the wetland / pond areas safely to Richard's Lake.
5. All swales that have slopes less than 2.0 percent will have 3' valley pans installed at the flow
line of the swale.
B. Specific Details - Storm Sewer
1. A Storm sewer (Profile A) will be installed at a low point (Centerline Sta. 4+33.74) on
Hearthfire Way. The storm sewer consists of the following;
a. 2 - 10' Type R inlets
b. 41.33 lineal feet of 18" RCP storm sewer between the inlets
c. 30 lineal feet of 24" ADS N-12 from the inlet on the west side of the Hearthfire Way to
the offsite wetlands (Pond 1).
2. An 18" RCP culvert (Profile B) will act as an inverted siphon connecting the wetlands (Pond
1) on either side of Hearthfire Way. The culvert will have zero (0.00%) slope because it's
purpose is to provide a means to maintain a consistent water level on both sides of the road.
Water will only pass through the culvert if the water level on one side of the culvert is higher
than the water level on the other side. Area inlets with trash racks will be constructed at each
end of the culvert.

III DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
1. This final report and the Master Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plans for Hearthfire
P.U.D., First Filing were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the current City of
Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Erosion Control Criteria.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
1. Douglas Road is planned as a minor arterial according to the recently adopted new City
Street standards. Douglas Road is currently built to County Road standards and will not be
constructed to full minor arterial standards adjacent to the north boundary of the project.
2. The existing wetland areas retain much of the stormwater that flows to them except in cases
where the 100-year storm event is exceeded. Emergency overflow structures are necessary to
convey the excess stormwater out of the wetland areas to Richard's Lake.
3. The design of the drainage infrastructure considers the development of future filings that will
occur on this property in terms of their contribution to the drainage infrastructure.
4. East Larimer County (ELCO) water district has an underground storage tank along the
eastern property line of the site. This tank is flushed occasionally according to ELCO
personnel. Provisions will have to be made to convey the water from the tank through the
site to Richard's Lake safely.
C. Hydrologic Criteria
1. Runoff calculations at various design points are based on the "Rational" method. The 2, 10,
and 100-year storms have been analyzed.
2. No detention is proposed with this subdivision because the existing wetland areas will act as
retention ponds.
3. Emergency overflow structures have been designed to convey flows that exceed the capacity
of the retention (wetland) areas.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
1. Storm sewer inlet design is based on the inlet curves provided in the City of Fort Collins
Drainage Criteria Manual.
2. Storm sewer design is based on Mannings Equation with Mannings coefficients as suggested
in the City of Fort Collins Drainage Criteria Manual.

1. The basin can be divided into 6 historic sub -basins designated A-F. These basins are
undeveloped with a few active oil wells located on them as well as some wetland areas. We
are utilizing the "C" factor for sandy soils with an average slope because of the wetlands
present for most of the basin. We have assumed a "C" factor of 0.45 for Sub -basin F which
consists of large estate lots in Cherrywood Acres. The table below summarizes the sub -

II DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB -BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
1. The site is located in the Dry Creek Basin as delineated on the City of Fort Collins
Stormwater Basin Map.
2. This portion of the Dry Creek Basin is partially developed with large single family lots and
medium sized ranches.
B. Sub -Basin Description
1. The site topography is best described as rolling. There are several ridges on the site which
create several sub -basins. The site generally slopes from the northeast to the southwest at an
average rate of 0.04 ft/ft (4.0%).
2. The basin is defined by Douglas Road to the north, County Road 13 to the west and Richard's
Lake to the south. The eastern property line of the site is the eastern boundary of the basin.
3. There are two (2) existing wetlands / ponding areas on the site which intercept much of the
runoff from the site and retain it. They are designated Pond 1 and Pond 2 on the Drainage
and Erosion Control Plan, although are not necessarily presented as detention ponds.
a. Pond 1 is crossed by the proposed access road (Hearthfire Way) from Douglas Road.
b. Pond 2 is the wetland area that is within the limits of the First Filing.
The stormwater that is intercepted by the wetlands either percolates into the soil or
evaporates. An exception to this occurs when storm events exceed the 100-year event and /
or the storage capacity of the low areas are exceeded. The stormwater eventually overflows
into Richard's Lake.
4. There are some offsite contributions from the rear lots of Cherrywood Acres onto the site.
The majority of Cherrywood Acres contributes runoff to a Swale on the south side of Douglas
Road.
5. Richard's Lake is the ultimate destination of all runoff from the site including any water that
exceeds the storage capacity of the wetland / pond areas.

IV DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
B. Specific Details - Overflow Structures (continued)
2. An 6' x 6' area inlet will act as the overflow structure from the wetland area on the north side
of Town Center Drive. The structure will act like a 20 foot broadcrested weir because the
inlet has 6" thick walls. The top of the inlet will control the water level in Pond 1 and
maximize the storage in Pond 1.
a. Top of area inlet elevation = 5090 ft.
b. Outlet Pipe Diameter = 2.0 ft.
c. Slope of Pipe = 0.019 ft/ft
d. Pipe capacity (HW/D =1.0) = 33.8 cfs
C. Specific Details - Cross Pans
1. Twelve (12') foot wide cross pans will be installed at the following low points to convey the
stormwater into the wetlands or Richards Lake;
a. Centerline Station 18+54.38 Hearthfire Drive.
b. Centerline Station 1+95 .75 Barn Swallow Circle.
c. Centerline Station 3+04.15 Snipe Lane.
2. The minimum slope on these valley pans is 0.006 ft/ft.
3. Sidewalk culverts will be placed at all low points with valley pans.
4. Where grade allows grassed swales with minimum slopes of 0.02 ft/ft (2.0%) will be
constructed to convey the stormwater from the sidewalk culverts to Pond 2.
5. If the minimum slope cannot feasibly constructed, three (Y) foot valley pans will constructed.
The valley pans will have a minimum slope of 0.005 ft/ft (0.5%).
V. WATER QUALITY
A. General Concept
1. Water quality measures are specified in the Water Quality and Wetland Mitigation Report
prepared by Ted Boss, PH.D..
a. Maintenance of water quality will be the responsibility of the contractor and the owner
until the project is complete. The Homeowners Association will: be responsible upon
completion of the construction.
