Final Drainage Report 1
I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
1. Vicinity Map
2. The project site is located in the west half of Section 5, Township 7 North, Range 68
West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of
Colorado.
3. The project site is located on the north side of Vine Drive and is just northwest of the
intersection of Vine Drive and Timberline Road.
4. The project site lies within the Dry Creek Basin. Detention requirements are to detain
the difference between the 100-year developed inflow rate and the historic 2-year
release rate. The historic release rate for this basin is 0.20 cfs per acre.
5. The existing Waterfield P.U.D. First Filing residential development exists to the
southeast of the proposed Third Filing site. The Lake Canal crosses the southwest
corner of the property, and is within the property limits. The Larimer and Weld Canal
runs along the northern border of the property.
6. Any offsite flows that would enter the site on the north are intercepted by the Larimer
and Weld Canal. Offsite flows from the adjacent Waterfield P.U.D. First Filing site

was planned to be detained within the current project southern detention pond. The
current design of the southern detention pond accounts for this area (17.40 Acres) in
detention modeling, as discussed below.
B. Description of Property
1. The development area is roughly 78.9 net acres.
Figure 1 – Aerial Photograph
2. The subject property is currently leased for farming purposes. The ground cover
generally consists of row crops. Existing ground slopes are mild to moderate (i.e., 1 -
6±%) through the interior of the property. General topography slopes from north to
south. The existing wetland area within the interior of the site collects a significant
amount of storm drainage and excess irrigation flows.
3. There is an existing detention pond located along the southern boundary of the project
site, which has been utilized for detention of the adjacent Waterfield P.U.D. First
Waterfield Fourth Filing
Final Drainage Report 3
Filing site. The current design maintains detention for the Waterfield P.U.D. First
Filing site and expands upon this pond for the proposed additional area to be directed
to the pond.
4. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey website:
http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx, the site primarily consists
of Nunn Clay loam and Satanta Loam, both of which fall into Hydrologic Soil Group C.
5. The proposed project site plan is composed of single-family and multi-family
residential development. Associated roadways, water and sewer lines will be
constructed with the development. The existing wetland within the interior of the site
be utilized for stacked detention (detention over the permanent pool elevation of the
wetland). The existing detention pond constructed with Waterfield P.U.D. First Filing,
located along the south boundary of the site, will be expanded and utilized for
detention and water quality treatment.

C. Floodplain
1. The project site is not encroached by any City designated or FEMA designated 100-
year floodplain.
Figure 3 –Area Floodplain Mapping
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
1. The project site lies within the Dry Creek Basin. Detention requirements are to detain
the difference between the 100-year developed inflow rate and the historic 2-year
release rate. The historic release rate for this basin is 0.20 cfs per acre.
2. The previously constructed Waterfield P.U.D., First Filing site, located just to the
southeast of the current project site, has its detention pond located within the current
Third Filing site. This pond is to be modified and expanded with current project to
incorporate detention and water quality measures for the existing First Filing
development, as well as the currently proposed Third Filing development. The site
outfall has been planned as the existing outfall structure for the existing detention
Waterfield Fourth Filing
Final Drainage Report 6
pond constructed with Waterfield P.U.D., First Filing, which is a siphon storm line
conveying flows under the Lake Canal. However, the end portion of the siphon was
not constructed with First Filing. This portion of the storm outfall will be completed
with the current project as shown on the Final plans.
3. Interim conditions for improvements in Vine Drive will continue to follow historic
drainage patterns and will sheet flow into an existing approximate 15- to 18-inch
deep sump area located just northeast of the Lake Canal crossing of Vine Drive.
Historically, 1.12 acres of Vine Drive R.O.W. drained into this sump area through the
north roadside ditch. In the proposed interim conditions 0.61 acre of Vine Drive
R.O.W. will now drain into the sump area through the north roadside ditch. This is
an interim condition, and in the future condition we are showing a tie in with City of
Fort Collins plans for Vine Drive to have curb and gutter, replacing the north roadside
ditch. The future condition plan will direct curb and gutter flow in Vine Drive R.O.W
west to a point of discharge beyond Lake Canal.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. The subject property historically drains overland from north to south. Runoff from a
portion of the site has historically collected in the existing wetland located within the
interior of the site. The remainder of the site historically sheet flows to the existing
detention pond at the southern boundary of the site. The proposed site will generally
maintain these historic drainage patterns. A more detailed description of the project
drainage patterns is provided below.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with the proposed
project.
B. Four Step Process
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with the proposed project utilizes
the “Four Step Process” to minimize adverse impacts of urbanization on receiving waters.
The following is a description of how the proposed development has incorporated each
step.
Step 1 – Employ Runoff Reduction Practices
Several techniques have been utilized with the proposed development to facilitate the
reduction of runoff peaks, volumes, and pollutant loads as the site is developed from the
current use by implementing multiple Low Impact Development (LID) strategies including:
Conserving existing amenities in the site including the existing vegetated areas.
Providing vegetated open areas throughout the site to reduce the overall impervious
area and to minimize directly connected impervious areas (MDCIA).
Routing flows, to the extent feasible, through vegetated swales to increase time of
concentration, promote infiltration and provide initial water quality.
Step 2 – Implement BMPs That Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) with
Slow Release
The efforts taken in Step 1 will facilitate the reduction of runoff; however, urban
development of this intensity will still generate stormwater runoff that will require
Waterfield Fourth Filing
Final Drainage Report 7
additional BMPs and water quality. The majority of stormwater runoff from the site will
ultimately be intercepted and treated using detention and LID treatment methods prior to
exiting the site.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways
There are no major drainageways within the subject property. While this step may not
seem applicable to proposed development, the project indirectly helps achieve stabilized
drainageways nonetheless. By providing water quality treatment, where none previously
existed, sediment with erosion potential is removed from downstream drainageway
systems. Furthermore, this project will pay one-time stormwater development fees, as
well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of which help achieve City-wide
drainageway stability.
Step 4 – Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs.
The proposed project will improve upon site specific source controls compared to historic
conditions:
The proposed development will provide LID and water quality treatment; thus,
eliminating sources of potential pollution previously left exposed to weathering and
runoff processes.
C. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
The subject property is surrounded by currently developed properties. Thus, several
constraints have been identified during the course of this analysis that will impact the
proposed drainage system including:
Existing elevations along the property lines will generally be maintained.
As previously mentioned, overall drainage patterns of the existing site will be
maintained.
Elevations of existing downstream facilities that the subject property will release to
will be maintained.
D. Hydrological Criteria
1. The City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, as depicted in
Figure RA-16 of the FCSCM, serve as the source for all hydrologic computations
associated with the proposed development. Tabulated data contained in Table RA-7
has been utilized for Rational Method runoff calculations.
2. The Rational Method has been employed to compute stormwater runoff utilizing
coefficients contained in Tables RO-11 and RO-12 of the FCSCM.
3. Three separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage
scenarios. A fourth design storm has also been computed for comparison purposes.
The first design storm considered is the 80th percentile rain event, which has been
employed to design the project’s water quality features. The second event analyzed is
the “Minor,” or “Initial” Storm, which has a 2-year recurrence interval. The third
event considered is the “Major Storm,” which has a 100-year recurrence interval.
The fourth storm computed, for comparison purposes only, is the 10-year event.
4. No other assumptions or calculation methods have been used with this development
that are not referenced by current City of Fort Collins criteria.
Waterfield Fourth Filing
Final Drainage Report 8
E. Hydraulic Criteria
1. As previously noted, the subject property maintains historic drainage patterns.
2. All drainage facilities proposed with the project are designed in accordance with
criteria outlined in the FCSCM and/or the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
(UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual.
3. As stated above, the subject property is not located in a City designated floodplain.
The proposed project does not propose to modify any natural drainageways.
F. Modifications of Criteria
1. The proposed development is not requesting any modifications to criteria at this time.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
1. The main objectives of the project drainage design are to maintain existing drainage
patterns, and to ensure no adverse impacts to any adjacent properties.
2. The existing wetland within the interior of the site be utilized for stacked detention
(detention over the permanent pool elevation of the wetland) and water quality. The
existing detention pond constructed with Waterfield P.U.D. First Filing, located along
the south boundary of the site, will be expanded and utilized for detention and water
quality treatment as well.
3. A list of tables and figures used within this report can be found in the Table of
Contents at the front of the document. The tables and figures are located within the
sections to which the content best applies.
4. The drainage patterns anticipated for proposed drainage basins are described below.
Basins 1 through 5d
Basins 1 through 5c consist of open space, single-family residential and multi-family
residential development. These basins will drain generally via street curb and gutter to
onsite storm inlets and storm line system, which will direct runoff into a series of
forebays. LID treatment will occur within the wetlands where this runoff will revitalize
the dying wetlands. The existing wetland will be utilized for water quality capture
volume and detention over the permanent water surface of the wetland area, as
discussed below.
Basin 6
Basin 6 consists of open space and the existing wetland area. Basin 6 has been
included in computation of required detention volume, but not in computation of
required water quality capture volume.
Basins 7a – 7d
Basins 7a – 7d consists of the northern half of the Right of Way of Suniga Drive.
These basins will drain via street curb and gutter to onsite storm inlets and storm line
system, which will direct runoff into a forebay prior to discharge into the existing
wetland pond. LID treatment will occur within the wetlands where this runoff will
revitalize the dying wetlands. The existing wetland will be utilized for water quality
Waterfield Fourth Filing
Final Drainage Report 9
capture volume and detention over the permanent water surface of the wetland area,
as discussed below.
Basins 8a through 11
Basins 8a through 9 consist of open space, single-family residential and multi-family
residential development. These basins will drain generally via street curb and gutter to
onsite storm inlets and storm line system, which will direct runoff into proposed Pond
1 and Pond 2, located at the southern boundary of the site. Water quality capture
volume will be provided in the lower stage of Pond 1, as discussed below.
Basins OS1 and OS2
Basins OS1 and OS2 consists of the adjacent half streets of Vine Drive and Timberline
Road. Basin OS1 will be conveyed into the existing wetland pond, Basin OS2 will be
conveyed into proposed Pond 1. We have included these basins in water quality
capture volume computations and detention computations for the proposed ponds.
A full-size copy of the Drainage Exhibit can be found in the Map Pocket at the end of
this report.
B. Specific Details
1. Standard water quality treatment in the form of Extended Detention is being
provided for the proposed development within the lower stage of the existing
wetland pond and within the lower stage of Pond 1.
2. The northern basins (Basins 1 through 5, 7, OS 1) are being treated for 100%
of the 48.10 acres (68.2% of the site) with extended detention which is the
acreage from these basins with extended detention water quality,. Please see
Table 1, below for a summary of LID and water quality treatment.
3. Existing established wetland vegetation and the permanent water surface of
the wetland pond will greatly enhance water quality for runoff discharging from
the site. Forebay 1 through Forebay 4 will be provided for pre-treatment for
the majority of developed runoff prior to entry to the existing wetland. The
forebays are considered to be a pre-treatment measure which will protect and
help to clean developed stormwater prior to entering the wetlands.
4. The southern basins (Basin 7c, 8 through 11) are being treated for 100% of
the 30.85 acres (39.1% of the site) with extended detention which is the
acreage from these basins with extended detention water quality,. Please see
Table 1, below for a summary of LID and water quality treatment.
5. SAFLE Baffles will be provided as an additional pre-treatment measure prior to
developed runoff entry into the Wetland Pond. The SAFL Baffles will be
placed just upstream of the forebays, and will serve to reduce developed
stormwater Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Please see documentation provided
in Appendix D
6. Basin 7 will be treated by Forebay 4, prior to entry to the wetland area.
7. The south basins (Basins 8a – 8 c, 9 - 11, OS2) are being treated in the lower
stage of Pond 1. These basins comprise 32.0 acres. We will treat 50% of this
area (16.0 acres) with extended detention, and have calculated a required
volume of 0.27 acre-feet.

Runoff coefficients used for the Rational Method are determined based on either overall land use or
surface type across the drainage area. For Overall Drainage Plan (ODP) submittals, when surface types
may not yet be known, land use shall be used to estimate flow rates and volumes. Table 3.2-1 lists the
runoff coefficients for common types of land uses in the City.

3.2.1 Composite Runoff Coefficients
Drainage sub-basins are frequently composed of land that has multiple surface types 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:

3.2.2 Runoff Coefficient Frequency Adjustment Factor
The runoff coefficients provided in Table 3.2-1 and Table 3.2-2 are appropriate for use with the 2-year
storm event. For any analysis of storms with higher intensities, an adjustment of the runoff coefficient is
required due to the lessening amount of infiltration, depression retention, evapotranspiration and other
losses that have a proportionally smaller effect on high-intensity storm runoff. This adjustment is

The next step to approximate runoff using the Rational Method is to estimate the Time of

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.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

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.

SAFL Baffle Research Summary
Four years of research was conducted to develop and test the SAFL Baffle. The research took place at
the University of Minnesota’s St. Anthony Falls Laboratory and was funded by the Minnesota Department
of Transportation. Links to SAFL Baffle project reports and publications can be found at the end of this
document. In this research summary, the following four topics will be discussed:
1. SAFL Baffle Performance
2. Effects of Trash and Vegetation
3. 90 Degree Outlet Sump Manholes
4. Sump Manholes with Inlet Grates and Inlet Pipes
SAFL Baffle Performance
SAFL Baffles are installed in existing or new construction sump manholes. Without a SAFL Baffle, sump
manholes capture sediment found in stormwater during rain storms through settling. During intense storm
events, however, this previously captured sediment can be washed out of the sump due to a circular
water flow pattern. With the SAFL Baffle installed in a sump manhole, water is unable to travel in a
circular pattern. During most low intensity storm events, slightly more sediment is captured in the sump
than without the SAFL Baffle. But during intense storm events, the SAFL Baffle prevents the circular
water flow pattern to form inside of the sump manhole. This prevents washout of sediment (Howard et al.
2010).
Figure 1: Sediment deposits in a scale model sump manhole after a high flow rate test. (Left)
Without a SAFL Baffle & (Right) With a SAFL Baffle (Howard et al. 2011).
Several stormwater treatment devices were tested at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in addition to the SAFL
Baffle. The performance of all these devices was characterized using by measuring (1) how well the
device captures sediment and (2) how well it retains sediment at high flow rates. The first metric is called
Removal Efficiency, and can be characterized in terms of the Péclet number over the Froude number of
the inlet jet velocity versus the amount of sediment captured in terms of a fraction. And the second metric
is called Washout Performance, and can be characterized in terms of Péclet number over the Froude
number of the inlet jet velocity versus a dimensionless concentration number called Ĉ. The Péclet
number, the Froude number of the inlet jet velocity and the dimensionless concentration number are
shown below. By using these dimensionless numbers, it is possible to compare the Removal Efficiency
and Washout Performance of different devices, different sized devices, different sediment particle sizes,
and different flow rates (McIntire, et al. 2012).

The Removal Efficiency of a sump manhole with and without a SAFL Baffle is shown below in Figure 2.
Tests were conducted by starting with an empty sump manhole, feeding set sediment sizes into the sump
at various flow rates with and without a SAFL Baffle, and measuring the amount of sediment captured. On
the figure, low Pe/Frj
2 values correspond to small sump manholes, experiencing high flow rates, and
receiving small sediment particles, and high Pe/Frj
2 values correspond to large sump manholes,
experiencing low flow rates, and receiving large sediment particles. This means that a curve laying left of
another curve captures more sediment. Figure 2 shows that a SAFL Baffle installed in a sump manhole
will capture 10-15% more sediment than a sump manhole without a SAFL Baffle (McIntire, et al. 2012).
The Washout Performance of a sump manhole with and without a SAFL Baffle is shown below in Figure
3. Tests were conducted by starting with a sump manhole partially filled with sediment, increasing the
flow rate to match a storm flow rate, and measuring how much sediment was washed out of the sump. On
the figure, Pe/Frj
2 values correspond to the same conditions as described for Figure 2. High Ĉ values
correspond to high sediment effluent concentrations (the concentration of sediment leaving the sump).
Figure 3 shows that without a SAFL Baffle, previously captured sediment will wash out of the sump
manhole. With the SAFL Baffle, however, washout is significantly decreased to near negligible levels,
depending on flow rate (Howard et al. 2011).
The washout benefits of using a SAFL Baffle can be plainly seen in Figure 4. When a SAFL Baffle is not
installed in a sump manhole, washout increases exponentially with an increase in flow rate. Effluent
concentrations were measured as high as 800 mg/L at a flow rate of 16 cubic feet per second (cfs). With
a SAFL Baffle, washout dramatically decreases. At the same flow rate of 16 cfs, the effluent concentration
was measured was less than 50 mg/L. And with the SAFL Baffle, below 7 cfs, the effluent concentration
measured was negligible (McIntire, et al. 2012).

al. 2011)

et al. 2011)

SAFL Baffle (From Howard et al. 2011)
Effects of Trash and Vegetation
Stormwater debris like trash and vegetation can affect all stormwater treatment devices. To understand
the effects of trash and vegetation on sump manholes equipped with the SAFL Baffle, a year of research
was conducted at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. The research determined what makes up debris in
stormwater, and how will it affect the SAFL Baffle. Tests were completed by inundating a sump manhole
with debris, and measuring the effects on Removal Efficiency and Washout Performance (McIntire, et al.
2012).
Researchers concluded that sump manholes that are nearly as deep as they are in diameter will
experience no change in Washout Performance due to debris clogging. Sump manholes that are about
half as deep as they are in diameter will experience a decrease in Washout Performance due to debris
clogging. Figure 5 illustrates this point by showing two scale model sump manholes equipped with a
SAFL Baffle, inundated with debris, and the resulting washout of sediment. Both of the sump manholes
have depths equal to about half of their diameter, but the image on the left has a SAFL Baffle with hole
sizes equal to three inches, and the image on the right has a SAFL Baffle with hole sizes equal to five
inches. This indicates that the decrease of Washout Performance due to clogging on shallow sump
manholes can be mitigated by using a SAFL Baffle with larger hole sizes (McIntire et al. 2012).
Figures 6 and 7 show the effects of trash and vegetation on the Removal Efficiency and Washout
Performance of sump manholes equipped with SAFL Baffles. Figure 6 indicates that debris has little to no
effect on Removal Efficiency. Figure 7, however, shows that at high flow rates, clogging can create
washout of sediment. The results shown in Figure 7 indicate that deep sumps do not experience much
washout, even when clogged with debris. Shallow sumps, on the other hand, experience washout due to
clogging. By using a 5 inch hole diameter SAFL Baffle, this washout problem can be mitigated. The
results found during full scale testing match with the results found during scale model testing (McIntire, et
al. 2012).
Figure 5: Washout of sediment measured due to debris clogging the SAFL Baffle. (Left) A 3 inch
hole diameter SAFL Baffle installed in a sump manhole and (Right) a 5 inch hole diameter SAFL
Baffle installed in a sump manhole (From McIntire et al. 2012).
Figure 6: The effects of debris on Removal Efficiency. Debris has little to no effect on the Removal
Efficiency of sump equipped with a SAFL Baffle (From McIntire, et al. 2012).
Figure 7: Washout of sediment measured due to debris clogging the SAFL Baffle. Deep sump
manholes (ex. 6-ft diameter and 6-ft deep (6x6)) with a SAFL Baffle experience negligible washout,
and shallow sump manholes (ex. 6-ft diameter and 3-ft deep (6x3) with a SAFL Baffle experience
washout. Using a 5 inch hole diameter SAFL Baffle mitigates the washout problem for shallow
sump manholes (From McIntire et al. 2012).
90 Degree Outlet Sump Manholes
Not all sump manholes have an outlet pipe that is located 180 degrees to the inlet pipe. Some have outlet
pipes that are located 90 degrees to the inlet pipe (See Figure 8). Scale model tests were conducted at
St. Anthony Falls Laboratory to determine the optimum orientation of a SAFL Baffle in a 90 degree outlet
sump manhole. Next, Removal Efficiency and Washout Performance tests were conducted on a full
scale, 6-ft diameter by 6-ft deep sump manhole equipped with a SAFL Baffle oriented 113 degrees to the
inlet pipe.
Figure 8: A SAFL Baffle installed in a 90 degree outlet sump manhole at a 113 degree angle with
respect to the inlet pipe (From McIntire et al. 2012).
Scale model tests indicate that sump manholes with 90 degree outlet pipes will experience significant
washout during high flow rates. However, when a SAFL Baffle is installed at a 90 degree angle relative to
the inlet pipe, washout is negligible. Tests were completed at angles in between 90 and 180 degrees with
respect to the inlet pipe, under otherwise similar conditions. Figure 10 shows these scale model results.
The results indicate that washout of sediment is negligible when the SAFL Baffle is installed between 90
and 120 degrees.
Figure 9: The sediment bed after conducting a high flow rate Washout Performance test on a 90
degree outlet sump. (Left) Without a SAFL Baffle and (Right) with a SAFL Baffle installed at 90
degrees with respect to the inlet pipe (From McIntire et al. 2012).
Figure 10: Washout of sediment at high flow rates for a 90 degree outlet sump with a SAFL Baffle
installed at angles between 90 to 180 degrees with respect to the inlet pipe (From McIntire, et al.
2012).
Tests on a 6-ft diameter, 6-ft deep sump manhole were conducted with a SAFL Baffle installed at a 113
degree angle with respect to the inlet pipe. This is within the range of negligible washout as indicated by
the scale model testing. Figure 11 shows Removal Efficiency results, and indicates increased Removal
Efficiency when compared to a straight flow through sump manhole with a SAFL Baffle installed at a 90
degree angle with respect to the inlet pipe (also called Standard Sumps). Figure 12 shows the Washout
Performance results, and indicates that washout increases with flow rate. At a flow rate of 12 cfs, washout
is at a maximum of about 62 mg/L (McIntire et al. 2012).

outlet and a SAFL Baffle installed at a 113 degree angle with respect to the inlet pipe (McIntire et
al. 2012).

(McIntire et al. 2012).
Sump Manholes with Inlet Pipes and Inlet Grates
Some sump manholes receive water from both an inlet pipe and an inlet grate from above. To know how
the inlet grate water will affect the Removal Efficiency and Washout Performance of the system, tests
were completed at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. A test stand (see Figure 12) was built and included a 6-ft
diameter, 6-ft deep sump manhole equipped with a SAFL Baffle and a simulated road surface with an
inlet grate. Water could be sent through this system through the inlet pipe and the simulated road surface
simultaneously. The SAFL Baffle was installed traditionally, at a 90 degree angle with a respect to the
inlet pipe. The inlet grate was located such that half of it was upstream of the SAFL Baffle and half was
downstream. Removal Efficiency tests were completed by maintaining a constant inlet grate flow rate of
0.4 cfs through all of the tests, and varying the flow through the inlet pipe. Washout Performance tests
were completed by maintaining a constant inlet grate flow rate of 0.7 cfs through all of the tests, and
varying the flow rate through the inlet pipe.
Figure 12: A 3D rendering of the test setup used for testing a SAFL Baffle installed in a sump that
receives water from both an inlet pipe and an inlet grate (From McIntire et al. 2012).
Figure 13 shows the Removal Efficiency data for the inlet grate sump manhole testing. The results
indicate that this type of system will capture sediment as well as a Standard Sump manhole equipped
with a SAFL Baffle. However, if the flow through the inlet pipe was less than three times that through the
inlet grate, Removal Efficiency was decreased and was less than a Standard Sump manhole equipped
with a SAFL Baffle. The researchers theorized that water entering the sump through the inlet grate was
able to plunge deeper into the water below if flow rates through the inlet pipe were low. The plunging
reduced the ability of the sump & SAFL Baffle to capture sediment (McIntire, et al. 2012).
Figure 14 shows the Washout Performance data for the inlet grate sump manhole testing. The results
indicate that, if the inlet grate flow rate is held constant, washout decreases as the flow rate through the
inlet pipe increases. This matches with results found during the Removal Efficiency tests described
above. Water from the inlet grate plunges deeper into the sump when flows through the inlet pipe are low,
resulting in washout of sediment. Washout is negligible as long as the flow through the inlet pipe is three
times that of the flow through the inlet grate (McIntire, et al. 2012).

Erosion Control Report
Waterfield Fourth Filing
Final Erosion Control Report
EROSION CONTROL REPORT
A comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (along with associated details) has been
included with the final construction drawings. It should be noted, however, that any such Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan serves only as a general guide to the Contractor. Staging and/or phasing
of the BMPs depicted, and additional or different BMPs from those included may be necessary
during construction, or as required by the authorities having jurisdiction.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure erosion control measures are properly
maintained and followed. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is intended to be a living
document, constantly adapting to site conditions and needs. The Contractor shall update the
location of BMPs as they are installed, removed or modified in conjunction with construction
activities. It is imperative to appropriately reflect the current site conditions at all times.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall address both temporary measures to be implemented
during construction, as well as permanent erosion control protection. Best Management Practices
from the Volume 3, Chapter 7 – Construction BMPs will be utilized. Measures include, but are not
limited to, silt fencing along the disturbed perimeter, gutter protection in the adjacent roadways and
inlet protection at existing and proposed storm inlets. Vehicle tracking control pads, spill
containment and clean-up procedures, designated concrete washout areas, dumpsters, and job site
restrooms shall also be provided by the Contractor.
Grading and Erosion Control Notes can be found on the Utility Plans. The Final Plans contain a
full-size Erosion Control sheet as well as a separate sheet dedicated to Erosion Control Details. In
addition to this report and the referenced plan sheets, the Contractor shall be aware of, and adhere
to, the applicable requirements outlined in the Development Agreement for the development. Also,
the Site Contractor for this project will be required to secure a Stormwater Construction General
Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality
Control Division – Stormwater Program, prior to any earth disturbance activities. Prior to securing
said permit, the Site Contractor shall develop a comprehensive StormWater Management Plan
(SWMP) pursuant to CDPHE requirements and guidelines. The SWMP will further describe and
document the ongoing activities, inspections, and maintenance of construction BMPs.
