I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
1. A vicinity map has been provided in Appendix A.
2. The project is located in Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Centerpoint Plaza in the
Northwest ¼ of Section 20, Township 7 North, Range 68 West of the 6th
Prime Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of
Colorado.
3. The project site is located on the south side of Midpoint Drive, east of
South Timberline Road.
4. There are no major drainage ways or facilities within the site. There are
drainage easements on the east and west sides of Lot 2, Lot 3 is developed,
there is a detention pond in the southern half Lot 1 to the west.
5. To the north, the property is bounded by Midpoint Drive, to the east by
Larimer County Community Corrections, to the south by Great Western
Railway and to the west, Lot 1 containing Riverbend Trail Office Condos
Ph1, of Centerpoint Plaza Replat 1.
B. Description of Property
1. The total area of Lots 2 and 3 is 4.096 acres (1.853 ac and 2.245 ac
respectively). The project will disturb approximately 1.63 acres of Lot 2
area. The remaining 0.223 acres are covered by existing access, utility and
drainage easements, minimal disturbance will occur in the existing access
and SW corner of Lot 2. Lot 3 has the same owner and that lot is developed
with an existing building, parking and open storage areas. This project will
only affect Lot 2.
2. The eastern 36 feet, southern 70 feet and western 97 feet of Lot 2 are
access, utility and drainage easements, City of Fort Collins water and
sanitary mains have been installed in the western easement; a paved access
to Lots 1 and 3 is also located in the western easement. The remainder of
the Lot 2 is undeveloped and is covered primarily with native grass and
gravel parking. The majority of the site has a slight 1 to 3 percent slope to
the east; the eastern edge has a slope of 0.5 percent to the south. An NRCS
Soil Report classifies the soil as poorly drained. A copy of the report is
provided in Appendix D.
3. No major drainage ways directly impact the site. Spring Creek lies to the
north and the Cache La Poudre River lies to the east.
5
4. The project will include the construction of a materials storage building,
drive aisles and landscaping. Site water quality control is provided on the
southern half of Lot 1 in an existing pond.
5. There are no irrigation facilities on or near the project site.
6. Proposed land use is for a building materials, storage shed. The site is
zoned Employment District (E) which allows this use.
C. Floodplain Submittal Requirements
1. The site is not in a floodplain.
2. The FEMA FIRM panel number 08069C0983H, revised May 2, 2012, was
referenced and a copy is included in Appendix E.
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
1. This project is in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin.
2. The area of the Spring Creek Drainage Basin this project is located in is
mostly developed. The project site is a single lot infill development.
3. No irrigation facilities are known to influence or be influenced by the local
drainage design of this project.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. Historic drainage patterns for the property are typically from west to east.
The subdivision currently has internal streets and utility infrastructure
installed.
2. Lot 2 is protected from offsite flows, on the north side by the existing curb
and gutters of Midpoint Drive and on the west side by existing curb and
gutters of the private access drive. This site slopes away from the existing
street and driveway and has no impacts from offsite flow.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
1. There are no deviations from the criteria. The site was designed to
accommodate the allowable uses, and emergency vehicle access with the
proposed layout. Runoff from impervious surfaces is conveyed by curb and
gutter or overland on landscape surfaces to the existing Water Quality Pond
in Lot 1. The pond outlet structure was designed for Water Quality Capture
6
Volume (WQCV) and a 100-year storm, developed flow release rate. The
outlet structure is designed to slowly release flows from frequent storm
events and release flows up to a 100-year storm event at the developed
condition runoff rate.
2. The project site currently drains to the east boundary. The site’s eastern
side will be built up to convey runoff from impervious surfaces to the
existing water quality pond in the southern portion of Lot 1.
B. Directly Connected Impervious Area (DCIA) and Four Step Process
Compliance
1. Employ Runoff Reduction Practices: This site uses a Grass Swale to treat
sediment and convey site runoff from the drive isle and parking areas to the
water quality pond. The building roof runoff will flow onto a terraced
Grass Buffer with underdrains, and combine with flows in the Grass Swale
at the west side of the improvements area.
2. Implement BMPs that provide a WQCV with slow release: This site uses
an existing water quality pond to treat frequent storm runoff events. The
release rate of the WQCV is 40 hours and has adequate volume for the
additional impervious area of this project.
3. Stabilize Drainage ways: This site will release developed flows into an
existing storm sewer, and water quality system on Lot 1 per previously
approved drainage reports. The developed flows are released into Spring
Creek north of the site per the previously approved drainage reports.
4. Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMP’s: A separate
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan has been developed with source control
BMP’s used from ground breaking operations to permanent stabilization
installations.
C. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
1. Two drainage studies were available at the time this report was written. Lot
2 was previously included in the Final Drainage Report for Centerpoint
Plaza, Phase 1, dated November 11, 2005 by DMW Civil Engineers and
the Final Drainage Report for Centerpoint Plaza First Replat, dated October
28, 2008 by DMW Civil Engineers. Lot 1 in these reports has an on-site
water quality pond. Developed flow from Lot 2 will be conveyed to the
water quality pond and released directly into the existing storm sewer at the
allowed developed rate.
7
2. The Centerpoint Plaza is bounded on the north by Midpoint Drive, the east
by the Larimer County Corrections Center, the south by existing railroad
tracks and on the west by Timberline Road. There are no effects from
adjacent drainage studies.
3. This Project Site is an infill development in an existing subdivision.
Development of this site will not cause any drainage impact to the existing
infrastructure.
D. Hydrological Criteria
1. Rainfall data was obtained from the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage
Design Criteria Manual, Table RA-8. Rainfall data used for this design is
as follows:
Storm Return
Period
Intensity
(in/hr)
2 year 0.82 in.
10 year 1.40 in.
100 year 2.86 in.
2. The Rational Method was used to calculate runoff. Per the Fort Collins
Storm water Criteria, the runoff coefficients were adjusted for infrequent
storms. Therefore, C100 was applied a frequency factor of Cf=1.25.
Storm Return Period Frequency Factor, Cf
2, 5, 10 1.00
25 1.10
50 1.20
100 1.25
3. Detention pond sizing, outlet structure configuration, and discharge rates
were calculated by DMW Civil Engineers. The pond outlet structure was
designed for WQCV plus direct discharge of the 100-year developed flows,
as previously discussed with the City of Fort Collins in the DMW Civil
Engineer reports. The stage storage volume of the pond was calculated
using the UDFCD empirical equations. Calculations in this study are based
on the water quality drainage area of 0.99 acres per discussions with City
of Fort Collins staff.
4. For the purposes of this design, the 2-year storm will be considered the
Minor storm, and the 100-year storm will be considered the Major storm.
8
5. No other calculation methods were used for this report.
E. Hydraulic Criteria
1. Per the DMW drainage reports the City of Fort Collins did not require
detention if the developed flows could be discharged to Spring Creek. The
existing water quality pond was designed to provide water quality for the
frequent storm and release flows exceeding the WQV, at the incoming
rate up to the elevation of the emergency overflow weir.
2. No additional drainage facility design criteria were used.
3. No modifications to any 100-year floodplain or floodway are proposed as
part of this project.
4. No modifications to any natural drainage ways are proposed as part of this
project.
F. Floodplain Regulations Compliance
1. The site is not in a floodplain or floodway.
G. Modifications of Criteria
1. There is no modification of criteria requested.
H. Modifications of Criteria
2. There is no modification of criteria requested.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
1. Typical historic drainage patterns for this Lot are generally to the east
toward the Larimer County Correction Center. The eastern portion of the
site will be filled to direct flows to the south and west. Developed flows
will be a combination of sheet flow, concentrated gutter flow and grass
swales. The time of concentration for the project was calculated to the
curb cut on the western side of the site. A concrete cross pan will be
constructed across the existing access from the east curb and gutter to the
existing trickle pan on the west side of the access.
2. There are no off-site flows to consider on this project site.
3. Input and Output results of the Historic Condition and Developed
Condition Fort Collins Rational Method Spreadsheet analysis are in
Appendix B. Results of the weighted Runoff Coefficients, Time of
Concentration, and minor and major storm Runoff Rates are in Appendix
C. Water Quality Control Volume and Stage Storage Table are in
Appendix D.
9
4. The proposed drainage pattern will generally follow new drainage patterns
to the south and west.
B. Specific Details
1. This site has a square shape with the low point being on the east side of
the existing access on the western portion of the site. Detention is not
required per the Centerpoint Plaza drainage reports prepared by DMW
Civil Engineers.
Of the 1.18 acres impacted by this project, 0.15 acres of the project will
drain a Grass Buffer and 0.83 acres of the project will drain to a Grass
Swale. These flows will combine on the west side of the project and flow
to the Water Quality Pond. Areas of landscaping adjacent to Midpoint
Drive (4,430 SF) will flow towards the street. Areas of landscaping
adjacent to the east and south property line (15,915 SF) will flow to the
south into Lot 3. These undetained flows will remain at historic rates.
The LID requirements are met by designing a Grass Buffer behind the
proposed building to provide water quality benefits prior to entering the
detention area. The Grass Buffer is sized to treat the impervious area of
the building. A Grass Swale is proposed to treat the impervious area of the
parking and drive aisles. Runoff from these areas will drain across grass
surfaces to the curb cut low point on the existing access. This will provide
additional water quality control for frequent, low intensity storms.
The total impervious area of the project is 42,690 S.F. A minimum of 50%
or 21.345 S.F. of the impervious area is required to flow to the LID
features. The project will direct 40,990 S.F. of impervious area runoff, or
96% of runoff from impervious areas to the LID features.
The LID features are sized based on 21,345 S.F. of impervious area from
the building roof and the paved areas. The area provided by the Grass
Buffer is 6,883 S.F. The area provided by the Grass Swale is 2,680 C.F.
The depth of the Grass Buffer media is 18-inches. Calculations for the
Grass Buffer and Grass Swale are included in Appendix C.
2. Detention storage & outlet design: Detention volume is not required on
this site by the City of Fort Collins as stated in the Centerpoint Plaza
Drainage Reports prepared by DMW Civil Engineers. There is an existing
water quality pond and outlet which consists of a single stage structure,
the WQCV, and then release excess runoff at the developed runoff rate up
to the 100-yr plus WQCV elevation. WQCV of 0.10 acre-feet is provided
in addition to the LID benefits.
3. Currently the existing outlet structure is constructed where the rim
elevation is approximately 3.54-inches above the overflow elevation of
the emergency overflow weir. The outlet structure rim elevation is also
constructed approximately 1.5-feet above the required WQCV elevation.
10
This project proposes to modify the existing outlet structure by cutting a
weir in the front of the outlet box and cut the water quality plate to the
WQCV elevation. Details and calculations of the modification of the
existing outlet structure can be found in Appendix D of this report.
4. An overflow weir is designed to release flows that exceed the 100-yr
storm event runoff volume. The emergency flows will be directed towards
an existing irrigation ditch constructed on the north side of the railroad
tracks. As stated in the appendix of the Final Drainage Report for
Centerpoint Plaza, Phase 1, this irrigation ditch has been used for storm
water conveyance for many years and is no longer used for irrigation.
5. Summary table: The required information can be found in Appendix C of
this report.
6. Maintenance access: The maintenance access will be from the north side
of the pond.
7. Easements: No easements are impacted as part of this project.
8. Offsite facilities: No new offsite facilities are required as part of this
project.
V. CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with standards
1. This report and drainage design is in compliance with all known criteria
published by the City of Fort Collins.
2. This drainage plan complies with the Spring Creek Master Plan based on
criteria conveyed from the City of Fort Collins.
3. Compliance with City floodplain regulations: This site is not in a
floodplain and no floodplains are impacted as part of this project.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

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,
Custom Soil Resource Report
8
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.

of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Larimer County Area, Colorado
Survey Area Data: Version 12, Oct 10, 2017
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Mar 20, 2015—Oct
15, 2016
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
