FINAL DRAINAGE
AND EROSION CONTROL REPORT
FOR LAKEVIEW ON THE RISE
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
The Lakeview on the Rise project is located east of and adjacent to South College
Avenue (U.S. Highway 287) and northeast of the intersection of Triangle Drive and
South College Avenue. The property is bounded to the west by South College
Avenue, to the north by an existing irrigation ditch, and to the south by Robert
Benson Reservoir, and to the east by Provincetown Filing Three subdivision.
The project site can also be described as situated in the northwest quarter of Section
13, Township 6 North, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., City of Fort Collins, County of
Larimer, State of Colorado. The site (property boundary) comprises approximately
20.089 acres (see vicinity map in Appendix A).
B. Description of Property
The project site currently contains an existing 20.089-acre vacant field comprised of
primarily dirt with native weeds and grasses and portions of South College Avenue.
The site also contains one existing commercial building that is currently unoccupied
and will be removed prior to any proposed construction activities. Robert Benson
Reservoir and an associated wetland area bound the proposed site to the south.
The existing site has topography which generally slopes from the northwest to the
south-southeast at approximately 2.9%, with varying slopes from 2.0% to 5.0%.
The proposed development consists of 17 apartment buildings, a Clubhouse with
pool, and associated street, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and private
infrastructure improvements, as well as intermittent green spaces and outdoor spaces.

II. DRAINAGE BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
The Lakeview on the Rise project is located within the City of Fort Collins Fossil
Creek Reservoir Drainage Basin. The Fossil Creek Reservoir Drainage Basin
generally flows from the northwest to southeast and ultimately outlets into the Poudre
River.
B. Existing Sub-Basin Description
The existing site consists primarily of dirt with intermittent grasses and weeds. All
existing onsite drainage is conveyed from the northwest to the south-southeast
ultimately collecting in Robert Benson Reservoir, located along the south side of the
property. The existing subject site is contained within one existing sub-basin (EX1).
Existing basin EX1 contains approximately 21.54 acres and was modeled with the
basin having an existing ‘c’ value of 0.25. The calculated existing 2-year runoff from
basin EX1 is 6.12 cfs. Please refer to the rational calculations in Appendix B.
C. Proposed Sub-Basin Description
The proposed development consists of 17 apartment buildings, a Clubhouse with
pool, and associated street, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and private
infrastructure improvements, as well as intermittent green spaces and outdoor spaces.
The majority of site runoff generated from the proposed site will be conveyed to two
Rain Gardens, then to two proposed detention ponds, prior to being released into
Robert Benson Reservoir. It is important to note that a small portion of the site
(approximately 3.80 acres) along the western boundary consists of portions of South
College Avenue and undeveloped land that is conveyed directly into Robert Benson
Reservoir without detention or treatment, as historically occurs. All flows released
into Robert Benson Reservoir will ultimately be conveyed to Fossil Creek Reservoir
and into the Poudre River.
The proposed public roads will be paved with asphalt, while the private drives and
adjacent parking areas will be constructed of concrete or asphalt. Interior sidewalks
will be constructed of concrete to serve pedestrians and provide access throughout
the site. Runoff from the proposed site will be ultimately conveyed in two large spine
storm drainage piping systems that will flow south towards the two proposed
detention ponds (with upstream Rain Gardens).
Runoff from the site will be conveyed to the Rain Gardens, where flow will be spread
laterally through the basins. The Rain Gardens will provide approximately one (1)
foot of ponding depth with base composed of bioretention sand media and gravel
7
over a 6” perforated underdrain system installed at the bottom of the Rain Garden.
One foot of depth will be provided in the Rain Garden to meet the LID criteria. Upon
the Rain Gardens filling up with runoff from the site, runoff will be filtered through
the Rain Garden media and gravel and discharge into the proposed detention ponds
via the 6” perforated pipes/underdrains. Inlets placed at each end of the Rain
Gardens will also allow water to be conveyed south and into the detention ponds
during major events, which will help improve flow to the detention ponds. An
overflow spillway will also be constructed in each Rain Garden to allow excess
runoff beyond the 1 foot of depth, to drain to the detention ponds.
A water quality control volume of 0.053 acre-feet will also be provide within Pond
200 for the runoff from basins 24-28, which could not be routed to the Rain Garden.
This volume will discharge through a water quality outlet plate.
Per the Geotechnical report by Terracon, the site contains highly expansive clay
materials, and as required, all roof drainage from the site and as much site area as
possible, is required to be captured immediately by piping systems and conveyed
away from the buildings and road infrastructure. Therefore, in meeting the
requirements of the Geotechnical Report, large amounts of roof drainage
piping/systems are being utilized for the site, as well as the proposed Rain Gardens to
mitigate infiltration of runoff into the sub-grade, as required, and to provide LID
treatment for approximately 88 percent of the total site, which includes the offsite
area. It should be noted that as indicated in the LID table, 100 percent of the on-site
basin impervious area is treated with the implementation of Rain Gardens and a
water quality outlet structure. Runoff from one offsite inlet on US Hwy 287 will be
conveyed to and pass through Pond 100. This more than makes up for the relatively
small area of grass slope which will not be routed to the detention pond.
Should the Rain Gardens fill up during major storm events, the Rain Gardens will
overtop the south spillways and drain to the proposed detention ponds.
The proposed detention ponds will be graded with relatively flat bottoms (0.5% to
2.0%) to allow for infiltration and pollutants to settle out of the runoff, prior to flows
exiting the ponds via the proposed outlet structures and into Robert Benson
Reservoir. Please refer to the grading plans for details.
The proposed detention ponds will discharge the combined 2-year historic release
rate (6.12 cfs) directly into Robert Benson Reservoir. Please refer to the pond outlet
structure calculations in Appendix B.

III. DRAINAGE BASIN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
The drainage design for the subject site is required to meet the current City of Fort
Collins Stormwater and Erosion Control Standards and requirements, as well as the
requirements of the Geotechnical Report by Terracon. Therefore, the drainage design
for the subject site has been designed in accordance with these standards and
provides for the site drainage being conveyed to downstream Rain Gardens and
detention ponds, as required and applicable. The proposed project will be required
to provide water quality and on-site detention, prior to the 2-year historic release rate
from the site being conveyed into Robert Benson Reservoir, as historically occurs.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
Drainage criteria and constraints required by the City of Fort Collins and Terracon
will be achieved and provided by the Lakeview on the Rise project. The capacity of
the system will be self contained and release to Robert Benson Reservoir at a rate not
to exceed the 2-year historic release rate of 6.12 cfs for the entire 21.54 acres, which
includes all attributing onsite and offsite basins, including the half-width of South
College Avenue along the proposed site.
C. Hydrologic Criteria
The Rational Method for determining surface runoff was used for the project site.
The 2-year and 100-year storm event intensities were used in calculating runoff
values. The City of Fort Collins intensity duration frequency curves were used to
obtain rainfall data for each storm specified.
Detention and water quality pond sizing was calculated using the latest City of Fort
Collins Criteria as well as Urban Drainage Flood Control District sizing methods.
Rain Gardens sizing was calculated using the Design Procedure Form for Rain
Garden Design spreadsheet developed by UDFCD.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
All hydraulic calculations within this report have been prepared in accordance with
the City of Fort Collins Drainage Criteria and are also included in the Appendices.
9
Final storm sewer pipe/systems and inlet/curb cut sizing has been completed using
UDSewer and UDInlet from UDFCD, as well as other orifice/inlet control sizing
spreadsheets. Final Swale sizing has been completed during final design using
AutoCad Civil 3D Hydraulic Software, while final erosion control/riprap sizing has
been calculated using North American Green software and other riprap spreadsheet
software.
E. Variances
No variances are being requested at this time.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
Twenty-nine proposed onsite drainage basins and one offsite basin have been created
to analyze the drainage for the proposed development.
Basins 1-15 drain ultimately to a proposed detention/water quality pond (Pond 100)
located in the southwest corner of the site via overland flow, curb and gutter, and
proposed storm sewer systems. The 100-year peak flow to be detained in the
detention pond located in the southwest corner of the site will be approximately 46.4
cfs.
Basins 16-29 drain ultimately to a second proposed detention/water quality pond
(Pond 200) located in the southeast corner of the site via overland flow, curb and
gutter, and proposed storm sewer systems. The 100-year peak flow to be detained in
the detention pond located in the southeast corner of the site will be approximately
42.7 cfs.
Basin OS1 is an offsite basin that consists of portions of South College Avenue that
will be conveyed directly to Robert Benson Reservoir undetained.
The total 100-year peak flow to be detained in the two proposed detention ponds
located onsite will be approximately 89.1 cfs.
Detention Pond 100 (west) and Detention Pond 200 (east) provide approximately
1.85 acre-feet and 1.27 acre-feet of storage, respectively, which provides for the
combination of detention and water quality. Water quality is also provided within the
proposed Rain Gardens, located upstream of each pond. A Water Quality Control
Volume is also provided within Pond 200 for runoff not directed to the Rain Garden.
10
The allowable 2-year release rate for the site is 6.12 cfs. The release rates for Ponds
100 and 200 will be 1.0 cfs and 5.12 cfs, respectively. It's important to note that
Pond 100 and Pond 200 have been sized to detain up to the 100-year event, while
receiving the 100-year developed flow from 21.54 acres, with the calculated overall
'c' value for the site being 0.58, versus the overall combined existing 'c' value of 0.25.
Please refer to the rational calculations in Appendix B and the Proposed and Existing
Drainage Basin Exhibits in Appendix G for additional information. Refer to
Appendices C & D for inlet sizing, concrete sidewalk culvert and curb cut sizing, and
storm sewer system sizing.
B. Specific Details

Offsite Drainage
The runoff from the following basin drains offsite.
Basin OS1
Runoff in Basin OS1 will be conveyed via overland flow and curb and gutter
to Robert Benson Reservoir south of the site. The flows in Basin OS1
represent a portion of South College Avenue and undeveloped land in the
southwest corner of the site. Runoff in College Avenue will be intercepted by
a 5’ Type R inlet and 10’ Type R inlet in the east flowline of US287. Flow is
piped east from these inlets, where riprap pads will slow water down and
mitigate erosion, prior to flows continuing east, un-detained, and into Robert
Benson Reservoir, as historically occurs.
16
Overflow Conditions

and fail to collect the required drainage, the runoff will pass to Debra Drive and
ultimately be conveyed to the detention pond located in the southwest corner of the
site.
Basins 6-12: Should the inlets at the low points in these basins become obstructed
and fail to collect the required drainage, the runoff will pass through the proposed
parking areas to Debra Drive and ultimately be conveyed to Detention Pond 100,
located in the southwest corner of the site.
Basin 13: Should the on-grade inlet at design point 13 in this basin become
obstructed and fail to collect the required drainage, runoff will pass to the low point
in Stoney Brook Drive and ultimately be conveyed to Detention Pond 200, located in
the southeast corner of the site.
Basins 14-15: Should the swale in basin 14 be obstructed, flows will pond, then spill
south and into Detention Pond 100. Should the outlet structure in Pond 100 clog,
runoff will pond to the spillway elevation, and will then be conveyed southeast
over/through the overflow weir and into Robert Benson Reservoir.
Basins 16-22: Should the inlets at the low points in these basins become obstructed
and fail to collect the required drainage, the runoff will pass through the private drive
(Rohan Rise), onto Stoney Brook Road, and will ultimately be conveyed to Detention

C. Detention Pond
Detention Pond 100 has been sized to provide water quality and detention for 8.57
acres of the total 21.54 acres of on-site and off-site areas. Detention Pond 100 will
provide 1.85 acre-feet of available volume at an elevation of 5009.00. The Rain
Garden will provide 0.12 acre-feet of available volume at an elevation of
approximately 5009.00.
Detention Pond 200 has been sized to provide water quality and detention for the
9.18 acres of the total 21.54 acres of on-site and off-site areas. Detention Pond 200
will provide 1.27 acre-feet of available volume at an elevation of 5008.80 (which
includes approximately 0.05 ac-ft for water quality volume in the detention pond).
The Rain Garden will provide 0.09 ac-ft for water quality at an elevation of
approximately 5008.50.
The proposed detention ponds will allow for detention up to the 100-year storm event
for the development. The lowest outlet elevation of the Detention Pond 100 (invert
at the front of the outlet structure) is approximately 5004.00. The calculated 100-
year water surface elevation of Detention Pond 100 is approximately 5009.00 with a
release rate of 1.0 cfs.
The lowest outlet elevation of the Detention Pond 200 (invert at the front of the outlet
structure) is approximately 5003.00. The calculated 100-year water surface elevation
of Detention Pond 200 is approximately 5008.80 with a release rate of 5.12 cfs.
The proposed detention pond outlet structures will discharge to 15” RCP pipes with
orifice control plates at the entrance of the pipes. The orifice on Pond 100 will be
3.20-inches in diameter to restrict release to 1.0 cfs, while the orifice restriction for
Pond 200 will be 7.06-inches in diameter to restrict release to 5.12 cfs. Therefore,
the allowable 2-year historic release rate of 6.12 cfs into Robert Benson Reservoir
will be adhered to, as historically occurs. Please refer to the Orifice Sizing
calculations in Appendix B.
An Emergency Spillway will be constructed along the south edges of Pond 100 and
Pond 200. The proposed spillways on Pond 100 and Pond 200 will have overflow
elevations of 5009.00 and 5008.80, respectively. The spillway on Pond 100 was
designed to pass the Q100 = 46.4 cfs at a depth of 0.59 feet and width of 60 feet with
0.36 feet of freeboard. The spillway on Pond 200 was designed to pass the Q100 =
42.7 cfs at a depth of 0.17’ feet and width of 200 feet with approximately 0.33 feet of
freeboard. North American Green C350 Erosion Control Fabric is also being
provided on the spillways to mitigate erosion, in event the ponds overtops.
18
Groundwater elevations were provided by Terracon and measured 5 days after
drilling and installing piezometers. In Pond 200 groundwater elevations of 4999.3,
4997.4 were measured within the footprint of the pond. The lowest point in Pond
200 at the outlet structure is 5003.0 which would be approximately 3.7 feet above
groundwater. Terracon will be providing additional borings in Pond 100 and a third
point in Pond 200 to verify conditions in Pond 200 and provide data for Pond 100.
Results will be updated in the report as they become available.
Should Pond 100 and Pond 200 overtop, runoff will be released south into Robert
Benson Reservoir. Please refer to the Utility Plans for specific grading and overflow
weir details.
D. Street Capacities
Street capacity calculations for public roads have been analyzed and calculated, with
the results provided in Appendix D.
V. STORM WATER QUALITY
A. General Concept & Specific Details
The water quality of stormwater runoff must be addressed on all final design utility
plans. Therefore, Best Management Practices (BMP's) for the treatment of
stormwater runoff for the subject site will include grass/ sod-lined swales, riprap pads
at culvert discharge points, permanent erosion control fabric at curb cuts and swale
entrances into the ponds, grass scrubbing across the bottom of the detention ponds
during first flush conditions, and proposed Rain Gardens consisting of water quality
catch basins located at the entrances to the detention ponds, which have been
incorporated into the detention pond design. These proposed water quality features
will provide a mechanism for pollutants to settle out of the stormwater runoff before
flows are directed into the detention ponds and ultimately to Robert Benson
Reservoir.
The proposed water quality/ detention facilities have adequate capacity and will
provide all of the required water quality and detention up to the 100-year event for
the developed condition of the subject site (21.54 acres), prior to releasing flows to
Robert Benson Reservoir.

VI. EROSION CONTROL
A. General Concept
Silt fence will be installed along the north, west, south, east and west property
boundaries of the site to prevent sediment from leaving the site. In addition, silt
fence is proposed around the perimeter of each block of buildings surrounded by curb
and gutter to prevent sediment from entering proposed drive aisles and streets. A
vehicle tracking pad will be placed at the site access point at US 287 and Lorien
Lane.
Rock Socks and gravel inlet filters will be placed at proposed inlet and dam
locations, as shown in the erosion control plan, to mitigate the build-up of sediment
in the proposed inlet and manhole structures. Straw wattle check dams may also be
installed at 300' intervals in the proposed swales throughout the site, as may be
applicable during construction, or specified by the inspector(s).
The Erosion Control Escrow Amount ($78,770.00) has been calculated and can
found in Appendix F. Please refer to Appendix G for the Erosion Control Plan and
Erosion Control Notes and Detail Sheets.
VII. CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with Standards & Stormwater Operations/Maintenance Procedure
All computations within this report have been completed in compliance with the City
of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria.
The City of Fort Collins Storm water Utility will not maintain the on-site storm
drainage facilities within the subject site. The owners of the subject site will
maintain their on-site storm drainage facilities on a regular basis. The following shall
be implemented for the private stormwater improvements’ operations/ maintenance
procedures for the project on an annual or bi-annual basis:
1) Storm Sewer Inlets, pipes and flared-end-sections, curb cuts and concrete
sidewalk culverts/chases, structures, manholes, and the LID water quality
catch basins shall be cleaned through the removal of debris and sediment
from the associated items to allow for adequate drainage through the site to
the proposed detention facilities.
2) Pond sedimentation/ silting shall be removed to allow for adequate drainage
along the bottom of the ponds and to prevent ponding and silting in of the
20
pond bottoms. Grass scrubbing along the bottom of the ponds may be
required to remove sediment and promote grass growth.
3) Re-vegetation through the use of Natural Seeding/ Sod shall be provided for
disturbed areas and other permanent erosion controls shall be provided for
areas where erosion has taken place and requires remediation back to the
proposed condition shown in the plans.
The Stormwater Operating/ Maintenance Procedures listed above are guidelines to
the minimum procedures that shall be implemented for the site, with these and
additional measures being utilized on an as-needed basis.
B. Drainage Concept
The proposed drainage concepts presented in this study and shown on the utility
plans adequately provide for the transmission of developed on-site runoff to the
proposed detention ponds (Pond 100 and Pond 200), located southwest and southeast
corners of the subject site. The proposed storm sewer system will provide for the
100-year developed flows to reach the proposed water quality and detention ponds,
prior to flows being released downstream in accordance with the 2-year historic
release rate of 6.12 cfs.
If groundwater is encountered at the time of construction, a Colorado Department of
Health Construction Dewatering Permit will be required.
C. Storm Water Quality
The preliminary design has addressed the water quality aspect of stormwater runoff.
The proposed grass-lined detention ponds and Rain Gardens will provide an
opportunity for stormwater pollutants to filter out of the stormwater runoff before
flows are directed downstream to Robert Benson Reservoir.
Furthermore, the proposed grass-sod-lined swales, riprap pads at culvert outlets,
permanent erosion control fabric and other erosion control devises that may be
utilized for side-slopes and embankments, grass scrubbing across the bottom of the
detention ponds during first flush conditions, and the water quality basins
incorporated into the detention pond designs will provide additional mechanisms for
pollutants to settle out of the stormwater runoff before flows are directed south and
ultimately to Robert Benson Reservoir.
D. Erosion Control Concept
Proposed erosion control concepts will adequately provide for the control of wind
and rainfall erosion from the proposed development. Through the construction of the
21
proposed erosion control concepts, the City of Fort Collins standards will be
maintained. The proposed erosion control concepts presented in the final report and
shown on the erosion control plan are in compliance with the City of Fort Collins
Erosion Control Criteria.
E. Erosion Control Escrow Estimate
The Erosion Control Escrow Estimate for the subject property is approximately
$78,770.00. Please refer to Appendix F for this calculation
