1. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
1.1 Location
This site is located on the north side of Conifer Street, west of Red Cedar Circle and east
of the existing alley in the Northwest Quarter of Section 1, Township 7 North, Range 69
West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, in the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County,
Colorado. See the Vicinity Map in Appendix A of this report.
This project is bounded on the north by an existing building, on the east by existing Red
Cedar Circle, on the west by a paved alley, and on the south by existing Conifer Street.
1.2 Description of Property
The entire project consists of approximately 0.9 acres. The site is currently undeveloped,
with areas of existing volunteer weeds and grasses. The existing site is flat with existing
slope to the southeast at approximately 0.5% to 1%. The site currently drains into the
adjacent streets and alley.
Proposed development on-site will include one building, a private drive along the north
side of the building, a parking lot and sidewalks. Existing drainage patterns will be
altered to direct flow to a proposed detention pond in the southeast corner of the site
which will release into the existing storm system in this location.
2. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
2.1 Major Basin Description
The proposed development lies within the Dry Creek Drainage Basin. Stormwater
detention is required for this basin but water quality extended detention is not required
because it is provided in the North East College Corridor Outfall (NECCO) detention
pond. The City requirement for stormwater detention in the Dry Creek basin is a single-
stage detention with a 100-year release rate equal to the existing 2-year runoff (0.2 cfs
per acre).
2
2.2 Sub-basin Description
Runoff from this site currently flows to the existing streets and alley. From there, the
runoff enters an existing inlet near the intersection of Red Cedar and Conifer. With the
proposed drainage concept for this site, the runoff from the site will flow to a proposed
detention pond and be released at the 2 year historic runoff rate into the storm system
near the intersection of Red Cedar and Conifer.
3. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
3.1 Regulations
This report was prepared to meet or exceed the “City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage
Design Criteria Manual” specifications except where variances are requested as noted in
Section 4.2 of this report. Where applicable, the criteria established in the “Urban Storm
Drainage Criteria Manual” (UDFCD), 2001, developed by the Denver Regional Council
of Governments, has been used.
3.2 Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
The runoff from this site has been routed to conform to the requirements of the Dry
Creek Drainage Basin and the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Department. Both
stormwater runoff detention and water quality extended detention are required for this
site with on-site detention and offsite water quality. The release rate from the site will be
equal to the existing 2-year runoff (0.2 cfs per acre).
3.3 Hydrologic Criteria
Runoff computations were prepared for the 10-year minor and 100-year major storm
frequencies utilizing the rational method. All hydrologic calculations associated with the
basins are included in Appendix B of this report. Standard Form 8 (SF-8) provides time
of concentration calculations for all sub-basins.
Detention volume was calculated using the predetermined release rate of 0.2 cfs per acre.
The FAA method for detention pond sizing was utilized to determine the required
volume. Refer to the detention calculations included in Appendix C of this report.
3
3.4 Hydraulic Criteria
Hydraulic elements have been designed per City of Fort Collins standards to adequately
convey the 100-year storm runoff from this site to the proposed detention pond. A
proposed 12” storm pipe will convey the detained runoff from the site to the existing
manhole at the southeast corner of the site.
4. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
4.1 General Concept
The runoff from this site will flow into the drive aisle and parking lot which will be
constructed using conventional materials (asphalt or concrete) and permeable
interlocking pavers. The runoff from the site will either flow on the surface or enter a
storm pipe via the permeable interlocking pavers or inlet. In a situation where the
permeable interlocking pavements are clogged, the runoff will flow on the surface and
enter the detention pond through a metal sidewalk culvert. On-site runoff will also be
conveyed to the detention pond via flows in LID swales along the north property
boundary to an area inlet and storm pipe. The detained runoff will discharge into the
existing storm pipe located at the southeast corner of the site.
4.2 Specific Flow Routing
With this design, the site has been broken into 3 basins which correspond with the LID
feature that the basin flows to. The basin are described in the following paragraphs.
Basin 1 is located in the northmost portion of the site and contains a majority of the
private drive and LID feature #1 which is an LID swale without an underdrain. The
runoff from the paved area will flow to the swale and will be collected in an area inlet.
The storm pipe then conveys the flows to the south into the detention pond.
Basin 2 is located in the eastmost portion of the site and contains a portion of the paved
private drive and the parking lot which is surfaced with porous pavers. The runoff from
this basin flows to a low point in the private drive then south into the parking lot porous
pavers. The flow, if it exceeds the capacity of the pavers, will flow into the detention
pond via a metal sidewalk culvert.
4
Basin 3 is located in the southwest portion of the site and contains the building and the
detention pond (landscape area). The roof of the storage building is sloped to drain to the
south and the bottom of the detention area is sloped to drain east. This basin accepts
runoff from Basins 1 and 2. The detained runoff will enter the existing storm system via
a new storm pipe with an orifice to restrict flows to the 2 year historic rate (0.2cfs per
acre).
Basin OS is the site area that drains to the street undetained. A majority of the area that
is draining to the street is a narrow landscape strip located between the detention pond
wall and the sidewalk. The impervious area is a portion of the drive entry (approximately
300 square feet) that drains to Red Cedar. The amount of runoff is quantified as 0.0 cfs in
the minor storm and 0.1cfs in the 100 year storm event.
Drainage design for this site has been designed to convey on-site runoff to the proposed
detention pond and incorporate the required LID enhancement features. On-site runoff
will be conveyed to the detention pond via surface flow in the drive aisles, in the LID
swale and subsurface in the perforated pipes. The detention pond will release the
detained runoff from the site at the existing (historic) 2-year runoff rate of 0.2 cfs per
acre. The developed 2-year runoff rate for this site is 1.3 cfs and the developed 100-year
runoff rate is 6.2 cfs.
4.3 Drainage Summary
This site has been designed to meet or exceed the “City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage
Design Criteria Manual” specifications. The proposed drainage design for this site has
been designed to convey on-site runoff to the detention pond while minimizing future
maintenance. The site incorporates a LID (Low Impact Development) treatment areas
including an LID swale without underdrain along the north property line, and permeable
interlocking pavers in the parking lot. Refer to the end of Appendix D for a table
indicating the size of the LID treatment area and the area of the site that drains to that
LID treatment area.
All drainage facilities proposed with this project, including the detention pond, LID
features, porous pavers and outlet structure are private and will be owned and maintained
by the property owner.

5. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS
5.1 Written Analysis
The soils on this site are classified by the USGS Soil Survey as Nunn Clay Loam and are
classified in the hydrologic group C. The soils are described as having a slow runoff rate
and the hazard of water erosion is moderate and the hazard of wind erosion is moderate.
The site is surrounded by developed sites including streets and paved areas. The
construction shall utilize silt fence around the perimeter to control sediment transport
from rainfall and from wind. The silt fence that is located in the proposed pavement areas
will be removed prior to placing new pavement. Rock socks will be utilized in the
existing curb and the newly constructed swales to capture sediments that are not fully
contained by the silt fence placement. The locations of the rock socks will be in the areas
of concentrated flow such as in the existing curb, at the new swales and as needed.
The site will also utilize a vehicle tracking control pad to minimize sediment from being
tracked onto adjacent pavements. Sediment that is tracked will be removed and placed
within the site or permanently disposed of offsite. A concrete washout will be used on
site during the concrete placement. All hardened concrete will be disposed of offsite.
These BMP’s have not been located on the site map due to the fact that the site is very
small and these BMP’s will need to be placed by the contractor in locations that are most
beneficial and will minimize disruption of adjacent traffic.
Permanent erosion control consists of covering the soils with a building, concrete walks,
concrete drives and sod. No soil will be left exposed to erosion after the construction is
complete. Refer to the landscape plan for areas of and instructions for placement of sod
and soil amendments required prior to placement of sod.

5.4 Best Management Practices (BMP’s) for Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control
Structural practices for the site will consist mainly of silt fence and rock sock filters and are
described in detail in the following paragraphs. These BMP's are expected to change as the
construction progresses and it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure appropriate BMP's
are in place and/or removed at the appropriate time in the construction sequence. All temporary
and permanent erosion and sediment control practices must be maintained and repaired as
needed to assure continued performance of their intended function.
Silt fence and rock sock filters shall be in place prior to commencement of construction
activities. During clearing and grubbing necessary for silt fence installation, all cleared material
shall be placed on the uphill side so that if erosion occurs from the cleared material, the sediment
will be trapped and not transported downstream. Rock socks shall be implemented in the existing
curb line as shown on the Drainage & Erosion Control Plan.

Non-Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control:
Soils exposed during the earthwork phase and landscape prep phase shall be kept in a roughened
condition by ripping or disking along land contours until mulch, vegetation, or other permanent
erosion control is installed. No large amount of soils (in excess of 15 yards) will be allowed to be
stock piled on site. Overburden from the utility pipe trenching will be piled adjacent to trenches
upstream of sediment controls and will be replaced in the trenches within 72 hours.
Excess excavated materials from the demolition and grading phases of the project that cannot be
reused on site will be exported as it is excavated. This includes any asphalt pavement from the
existing site that is to be removed.
A vehicle tracking pad will be installed at a location most beneficial to the site construction as
determined by the contractor. Vehicles will not be permitted in the excavated area if soil is
muddy. Gravel sub base will be placed and compacted in the areas indicated for pavement
following excavation. In the current pre construction state the site enables tracking of silt onto
the adjacent streets during wet conditions. During construction activities the street will be
monitored for foreign debris tracked out of the site and mechanical sweeping and clean up will
be performed as needed.
9
No area shall remain exposed by land disturbing activity for more than thirty (30) days before
required temporary or permanent erosion control (e.g. seed/mulch, landscaping, etc.) is installed.

5.5 BMP Implementation
1) Phased BMP Implementation
BMP’s are expected to change as the construction progresses and it is the responsibility of
the contractor to ensure appropriate BMP’s are in place and/or removed at the appropriate
time in the construction sequence. A construction sequence schedule has been included on
the Drainage & Erosion Control Plan and included in the construction plans for this site.
All BMP’s shall be inspected and repaired or replaced as required to satisfy the conditions of
the Stormwater Discharge Permit. All BMP’s must be maintained and repaired as needed to
assure continued performance of their intended function. Refer to Appendix D for the BMP
schedule and estimated costs.

3) Dedicated Asphalt or Concrete Batch Plant:
Not proposed with this development
4) Vehicle Tracking Pad:
Vehicle tracking control pad shall be installed wherever construction vehicle access routes
intersect paved public roads. Vehicle tracking control pads shall be installed to minimize the
transport of sediment (mud) by runoff or vehicles tracking onto the paved surface. Any mud
tracked to public roads shall be removed on a daily basis and after any significant storm that
causes sediment to be transported. It is unlawful to track sediment/mud onto public streets
and may be enforced by the City of Fort Collins, by the State of Colorado or by the EPA.
11
5) Waste Management and Disposal:
Portable toilets will be anchored & periodically maintained by waste management company.
Dumpsters on site will be covered & periodically emptied by waste management company.
Concrete waste will be allowed to harden and then will be removed from site.
No washing activities will occur on site.
Location of the concrete washout is shown on the site map. The washout will be suitably
deep to accommodate all anticipated concrete truck wash water. Waste concrete will be
allowed to harden & be removed from site periodically as the washout reaches 50% of
capacity. Truck wash water will not be allowed to reach the curb & gutter or any other water
course.
6) Groundwater and Stormwater Dewatering:
No groundwater was encountered during soils exploration therefore ground water is not
anticipated to be an issue. If groundwater is encountered a groundwater discharge permit
shall be obtained and a detailed report shall be completed describing the location and the
route of where pumped groundwater will be conveyed and the measures taken to prevent the
transport of any pollutants to downstream waters.
7) Inspection & Maintenance:
It is required that routine site inspections are performed to effectively address maintenance
and repair of Best Management Practices (BMP's). The site inspections are to be performed
by the contractor or an inspector designated by the administrator at a minimum of once every
fourteen (14) calendar days on active construction sites and after any significant storm event
(an event causing runoff). As part of the site inspections the inspector is required to keep
documentation of all inspections and BMP maintenance, including an updated Site Map
indicating new BMP's or the removal of BMP's since the previous inspection.
Any maintenance, repair, or necessary installation of BMP's that are noted during the
inspection must be completed within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the
inspection

6. CONCLUSIONS
6.1 Compliance with Standards
All computations that have been completed within this report are in compliance with the
“City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference Manual for Construction Sites”, the
“City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual”, and the “Urban Storm
Drainage Criteria Manual” except where variances are requested as noted in Section 4.2
of this report.
6.2 Drainage Concept
The proposed drainage concepts presented in this report and on the construction plans
adequately provide for the collection and conveyance of on-site runoff to the detention
area. Conveyance elements exist to adequately convey detained runoff downstream.
If, at the time of construction, groundwater is encountered, a Colorado Department of
Health Construction Dewatering Permit would be required.

2.9 Composite Runoff Coefficient
Drainage sub-basins are frequently composed of land that has multiple surfaces or zoning
classifications. In such cases a composite runoff coefficient must be calculated for any
given drainage sub-basin.
The composite runoff coefficient is obtained using the following formula:
( )

C
∑
= = 1
*
(RO-8)

Ci = Runoff Coefficient for Specific Area (Ai)

n = Number of different surfaces to be considered
At = Total Area over which C is applicable, acres or feet2
(5) A new Section 2.10 is added, to read as follows:
42
2.10 Runoff Coefficient Adjustment for Infrequent Storms
The runoff coefficients provided in tables RO-10 and RO-11 are appropriate for use with
the 2-year storm event. For storms with higher intensities, an adjustment of the runoff
coefficient is required due to the lessening amount of infiltration, depression retention,
evapo-transpiration and other losses that have a proportionally smaller effect on storm
runoff. This adjustment is applied to the composite runoff coefficient.
These frequency adjustment factors are found in Table RO-12.

(8) Section 3.3 is deleted in its entirety.
(9) A new Section 4.3 is added, to read as follows:
4.3 Computer Modeling Practices
(a) For circumstances requiring computer modeling, the design storm hydrographs must
be determined using the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM). Basin and
conveyance element parameters must be computed based on the physical characteristics
of the site.
(b) Refer to the SWMM Users’ Manual for appropriate modeling methodology, practices
and development. The Users’ Manual can be found on the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) website (http://www.epa.gov/ednnrmrl/models/swmm/index.htm).
(c) It is the responsibility of the design engineer to verify that all of the models used in
the design meet all current City criteria and regulations.
4.3.1 Surface Storage, Resistance Factors, and Infiltration
Table RO-13 provides values for surface storage for pervious and impervious surfaces
and the infiltration rates to be used with SWMM. Table RO-13 also lists the appropriate
infiltration decay rate, zero detention depth and resistance factors, or Manning’s “n”
values, for pervious and impervious surfaces to be used for SWMM modeling in the city
of Fort Collins.
