Project Number: U15007
Dear Staff:
United Civil Design Group, LLC. is pleased to submit this Final Drainage Summary for the 215
Matthews Street Offices site in Fort Collins, Colorado. In general, this summary serves to
document the stormwater impacts associated with the proposed project.
Site Location and Project Description
The 215 Matthews Street Offices development site (referred herein as ”the site”) is located in
the southwest quarter of Section 12, Township 6 North, Range 69 West of the Sixth P.M., City
of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. The site consists of approximately 7,000 square-feet
(sf) and is bounded by Matthews Street on the east, a public alley on the west, and existing
multifamily residential properties to the north and south. See the attached Drainage Plan for
additional information.
The planned development for the site will consist of the following:
• The construction of multi-story, office building with a proposed footprint of
approximately 4,130 sf (5,060 sf roof footprint) with an enclosed parking garage on the
first floor.
• The construction of utilities to support the proposed building including sanitary, water
and storm drainage.
• The construction of right-of-way improvements including curb and gutter, public
sidewalk and landscaping.
Existing Conditions
Hydrology
The site, which is located within the Old Town Basin, is approximately 7,000 sf in size
and currently consists of an existing one-story residential building, gravel parking area,
and landscape areas with an existing percent-imperviousness of approximately 31%.
Storm runoff from the site currently drains towards Matthews Street where runoff is
Drainage Summary
215 Matthews Street Offices
Fort Collins, CO
2 U14012-DrainageSummary-Preliminary.doc
intercepted by existing curb and gutter which directs the runoff to the north to storm
sewer inlets and piping located near Oak Street. Refer to Appendix A for additional
information.
Floodplain
The site is not located within a FEMA or City-regulatory floodway or floodplain.
Developed Conditions
Hydrology
The developed site will consist of approximately 6,060 square feet of impervious area
including roof, pavement and sidewalk. This is an increase of approximately 2,994
square feet of impervious area. The following table summarizes the changes of the site
from existing to proposed conditions. Refer to the Drainage Plan and Hydrology
calculations for additional information.

Landscape (sf) 4,349 935
Total Impervious Area (sf) 2,651 6,064
% Imperviousness 31% 78%
The drainage patterns for the proposed condition will remain largely unchanged
from existing conditions in that the vast majority of the drainage from the site will
be directed towards Matthews Street. It is anticipated that no additional drainage
area will be directed towards the west and the public alley with the proposed
development.
Storm Sewer
The proposed improvements do not require any proposed storm sewer. The site will be
using raised bioretention planter boxes for water quality which will daylight at grade
and therefore will not require a storm sewer system. The underdrain within Planter
Box #3 (the southwest planter) is designed to drain the planter and drain the swale
from the west side of the planter through the planter. The area draining to the west
side of planter is approximately 200 sf which corresponds to approximately 0.04 cfs in
the 100-year event. Refer to Appendix C for the culvert calculation.
Drainage Summary
215 Matthews Street Offices
Fort Collins, CO
3 U14012-DrainageSummary-Preliminary.doc
Swales
The drainage design incorporates drainage swales along the north and south sides of
the site. The drainage swales were typically designed with maximum 4h:1v side slopes,
Manning’s n of 0.035, capacity to carry the 100-year flowrates plus 33%, and velocities
below 5 feet per second. Refer to Appendix C for swale capacity calculations and the
Drainage Plan for locations of swale sections analyzed.
Detention and Water Quality Requirements
The proposed improvements will increase the total impervious area less than 5,000
square feet from existing conditions; therefore, stormwater quantity detention is not
required.
The Udall Natural Area provides water quality treatment for 50% of the site; however,
the City encourages additional water quality onsite. The development is proposing to
provide additional water quality measures in the form of bioretention planter boxes
that will collect approximately 3,815 square feet of the roof area prior to releasing to
Matthews Street.
Low Impact Development (LID) Requirements
In February of 2013, City Council adopted the LID policy and criteria. The proposed
development is required to meet the newly adopted criteria. Per the criteria, the site
must:
• Treat no less than 50% of any newly added impervious area using one or a
combination of LID techniques.
• Treat no less than 25% of any newly added pavement area using a permeable
pavement.
The following measures are being implemented with this proposed development:
Bioretention Planters
Basins A2-A3 and B2 (with 3,815 sf of impervious roof area) will be routed
through bioretention planter boxes that will collect roof drainage from the
building downspouts being designed with this project. The bioretention planters
have average depths of 9-inches with an overall volume of 106 cubic feet which
exceeds the minimum design requirements for the area. Refer to the Appendix
for additional calculations.
Permeable Pavers
Due to the small amount of added pavement not covered by roof (approximately
850 sf), and per communication with City staff, this site is not being required to
provide permeable pavers.
In total, the development is proposing to collect and treat 3,815 sf (62.9%) of the
overall 6,064 sf of impervious area developed with this project. In addition, the
Drainage Summary

Fort Collins, CO
4 U14012-DrainageSummary-Preliminary.doc
site is also being designed with other various open landscaped areas and
vegetated swales to provide additional water quality in addition to the areas
being treated with bioretention.
Four Step Process
With the adoption of the USDCM, the City has also adopted the “Four Step Process”
that is recommended in Volume 3 of the USDCM in selecting structural BMPs for the
redeveloping urban areas. The following portions of this summary describe each step
and how it has been utilized for this project:
Step 1 – Employ Runoff Reduction Practices
The objective of this step is to reduce runoff peaks and volumes and to employ the
technique of “minimizing directly connected impervious areas” (MDCIA). This project
accomplishes this by:
• Routing roof flows through bioretention planter boxes and through vegetated
swales to increase time of concentration, promote infiltration and provide
water quality.
Step 2 – Provide Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV)
The objective of providing WQCV is to reduce the sediment load and other pollutants
that exit the site. For this project WQCV is provided within the Udall Natural Area, so
no additional WQCV is required. However, the development is providing bioretention
planter boxes; and therefore, additional WQCV in order to satisfy the LID requirements.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways
The site is not adjacent or near a major drainageway; however, this project will pay
stormwater development and stormwater utility fees which the City uses, in part, to
maintain the stability of the City drainageway systems.
Step 4 – Consider Need for Industrial and Commercial BMPs
This step is generally considered for industrial and commercial sites. As this
development is proposing a small office building, no specialized BMPs have been
considered for this project.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
In order for physical stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be effective,
proper maintenance is essential. Maintenance includes both routinely scheduled
activities, as well as non-routine repairs that may be required after large storms, or as a
result of other unforeseen problems. Standard Operating Procedures should clearly
identify BMP maintenance responsibility.
Identifying who is responsible for maintenance of BMPs and ensuring that an adequate
budget is allocated for maintenance is critical to the long-term success of BMPs.
Maintenance responsibility may be assigned either publicly or privately. For this
project, the privately owned BMPs including the bioretention planters and vegetated
Drainage Summary

Fort Collins, CO
5 U14012-DrainageSummary-Preliminary.doc
swales are to be maintained by the property owner, homeowner’s association (HOA), or
property manager.
Erosion Control
Erosion control, both temporary and permanent, is a vital part of any development project.
For this project, the site disturbance will be less than 10,000 sf; therefore, comprehensive
erosion control measures have been included within the Grading and Erosion Control Plan for
the project. Refer to the Utility Plans, under separate cover, for additional information.
Conclusions
In conclusion, the drainage system proposed within this Drainage Summary provides adequate
conveyance of the developed stormwater runoff from the proposed development to existing
discharge locations and drainage systems. It should also be noted that with this summary and
the corresponding design, every attempt has been made to minimize any negative impacts on
the downstream receiving waters. With the incorporation of the LID techniques, the site will
discharge a lower sediment load and less runoff.
We understand that review by the City of Fort Collins is to assure general compliance with
standardized criteria contained in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM). This
summary was prepared in compliance with technical criteria set forth in both the Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual and the
FCSCM.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If

intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

order to maintain flooring product manufacturer warranties. A vapor barrier would help
reduce the transmission of moisture through the floor slabs. However, the unilateral
moisture release caused by placing concrete on an impermeable surface can increase slab
curl. The amount of slab curl can be reduced by careful selection of an appropriate
concrete mix. Slab curl cannot be eliminated. We recommend the owner, architect and
flooring contractor consider the performance of the slabs in conjunction with the
proposed flooring products to help determine if a vapor barrier will be required and
where best to position the vapor barrier in relation to the floor slab. Additional guidance
and recommendations concerning slab-on-grade design can be found in American
Concrete Institute (ACI) section 302.
Pavements Subgrades
At this time, we understand permeable pavements may be utilized for the site drive
and/or parking areas. Permeable pavement subgrades should be developed as outlined in
the “Foundation Bearing and Site Development” portion of this report. Care should be
taken to avoid densification of permeable pavement subgrade soils prior to placement of
the overlying system.
To complete the percolation test for aid in the design, three (3) eight-inch diameter and
36-inch deep percolation test holes were completed at each deep boring location. An
average percolation rate of 57 minutes per inch was established in the near surface site
soils and could be used in design.
With the recommended overexcavation/backfill procedures to develop finish foundation
bearing levels for the proposed building, it is our opinion a Partial of Full-Infiltration
section could be used for this site. The near surface site lean clay is fine graded, such that
a filter fabric should be employed at the clay/filter media interface.
Minimum light and heavy-duty structural permeable pavement section designs are
outlined below in Table I.

* The storage media thickness outlined above is from a structural support
perspective only for light-duty pavements. Greater thicknesses may be required
based on storage water calculations and minimum requirements provided by the
system manufacturer.
Light-duty pavements could be considered for light vehicle parking areas. Heavy-
duty pavements should be considered for access drives and other areas of the site
expected to receive heavy trash or delivery truck traffic. We recommend
permeable pavement filter and storage media be adjusted to a workable moisture
content and compacted to at least 75% of the material’s relative density.
Corrosive Soil Characteristics
Water-soluble sulfates (WSS) tests were completed on two (2) selected soil samples
obtained from the site to help evaluate corrosive soil characteristics with respect to buried
concrete. A corrosive soil characteristics outline is included with this report. The WSS
tests fall within the “negligible” and “moderate” classification with respect to the severity
of the sulfate environment. Type II cement should be used for project concrete exposed
to soils with a “moderate” classification. If Type II cement is not available, care should
be taken to thoroughly consolidate concrete exposed to the site soils. A maximum
water/cement ratio of 0.50 is recommended for “moderate” severity. In addition,
consideration could be given to utilizing air-entrained concrete exposed to the site soils,
