I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. LOCATION
Vicinity Map
Figure 1 – Vicinity Map
The Quarry by Watermark project site is located in the northwest quarter of Section 23, Township
7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State
of Colorado.
The project site (refer to Figure 1) is bordered to the north by Hobbit Street; to the east by Canal
Importation Ditch; to the south by Spring Creek; and to the west by Shields Street.
Spring Creek and Canal Importation Ditch are major drainageways located adjacent to the
project site. The confluence of Spring Creek and Canal Importation Ditch is in the southeast
corner of the site.
B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Quarry by Watermark comprises of ± 19.38 acres.
The site is currently an undeveloped parcel surrounded by multi-family to the north, west, and
south and single-family homes to the east
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: THE QUARRY BY WATERMARK
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 2 | 28
Figure 2 – Aerial Photograph
The existing groundcover consists of short grasses. The existing on-site runoff generally drains
from the northwest to the southeast across flat grades (e.g., <1.00%) into the Canal Importation
Ditch. From there, the drainage continues through Canal Importation Ditch to Spring Creek, and
on to the Cache La Poudre River.
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 consists primarily of Altvan-Satanta loams (Hydrologic Soil Group B) and Nunn clay loam
(Hydrological Soil Group C).
Springs Creek and Canal Importation Ditch are the only major drainageways within or adjacent to
the project site.
Groundwater was found to be present approximately 9-11 feet below existing ground elevations.
Proposed site development will maintain a minimum of 2 feet between these existing
groundwater levels and proposed ground levels. The highest amount of cut on the site occurs
where the proposed detention ponds will be located. In these locations we are cutting
approximately 5-7 feet which will allow for greater than 2 feet of separation between the pond
bottom and the existing groundwater levels. Table 1, below, shows elevations of existing ground,
groundwater, and proposed ground to demonstrate that minimum required separation is met.
The proposed development will consist of eight (8) apartment buildings and ten (10) duplex units
containing a total of 313 units with detached garages. Other proposed improvements include
parking lots, sidewalks, pool, clubhouse, and landscaping.
The proposed land use is multi-family. This is a permitted use in the Medium-Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhood District (MMN).

C. FLOODPLAIN
1. The eastern and southern edges of the site are in a FEMA regulatory floodplain; however, the
developable project area is outside of the FEMA floodplain. In particular, the FEMA designated
100-year floodplain Basins E1 and E2 on the Drainage Exhibit include the FEMA regulatory
floodplains for Spring Creek and Canal Importation Ditch (Map Numbers 08069CO978G and
08069CO979H and effective date of May 2, 2012). The eastern portion on this site, along the Canal
Importation Ditch, is located within the City of Fort Collins Regulatory floodplain/floodway. No
development is proposed within Basins E1 and E2. A copy of the FEMA Firmette is provided in
Appendix G.
2. We have analyzed the FEMA Floodplain map and cross sections for Spring Creek and Canal
Importation Ditch and determined that the highest base flood elevation adjacent to the project
site is 5016 (NAVD88). Furthermore, the buildings all maintain a minimum of 12” between the
finished floor elevation and the top of bank along the south and east side of the property.
3. This project is in compliance with Chapter 10 of the City Municipal Code and a floodplain use
permit will be obtained for utility work in the floodplain/floodway.

II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
The north and east halves of The Quarry by Watermark is located within the City of Fort Collins Canal
Importation major drainage basin. The southwest quarter of the site is located within the City of Fort
Collins Spring Creek major drainage basin. Specifically, the project site is situated at the confluence
of the Spring Creek and Canal Importation major drainage basins. Detention requirements for this
basin are to detain the difference between the 100-yr developed inflow rate and the historic 2-year
release rate.
B. Sub-Basin Description
The outfall for the project site is at the confluence of Springs Creek and Canal Importation Basins.
The existing subject site can be defined with twelve (12) sub-basins that encompasses the entire
project site and three (3) offsite basins that drain onto the project site.
The existing site runoff generally drains from northwest-to-southeast and into the Canal
Importation Ditch.
The project site receives runoff from Shields Street and Hobbit Street.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. OPTIONAL PROVISIONS
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with the Quarry by Watermark.
B. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with The Quarry by Watermark 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. The first consideration taken in trying to reduce the
stormwater impacts of this development is the site selection itself. By choosing an already developed
site with public storm sewer currently in place, the burden is significantly less than developing a
vacant parcel absent of any infrastructure.
The Quarry by Watermark aims to reduce runoff peaks, volumes and pollutant loads from frequently
occurring storm events (i.e., water quality (i.e., 80th percentile) and 2-year storm events) by
implementing Low Impact Development (LID) strategies. Wherever practical, runoff will be routed
across landscaped areas or through a rain garden or water quality pond. These LID practices reduce
the overall amount of impervious area, while at the same time Minimizing Directly Connected
Impervious Areas (MDCIA). The combined LID/MDCIA techniques will be implemented, where
practical, throughout the development, thereby slowing runoff and increasing opportunities for
infiltration.
Step 2 – Implement BMPs that Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) with Slow
Release. The efforts taken in Step 1 will help to minimize excess runoff from frequently occurring
storm events; however, urban development of this intensity will still have stormwater runoff leaving
the site. The primary water quality treatment will occur between underground vaults located at the
south end of the project and a single rain garden along the east side of the property. The remaining
runoff will be treated for water quality in the proposed detention ponds along the Spring Creek.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways. As stated in Section I.B.6, above, the Spring Creek and Canal
Importation drainage is adjacent to the subject site, however no changes to the channel are proposed
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: THE QUARRY BY WATERMARK
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 5 | 28
with this project. While this step may not seem applicable to The Quarry by Watermark, the proposed
project indirectly helps achieve stabilized drainageways, nonetheless. Once again, site selection has a
positive effect on stream stabilization. By developing an infill site with stormwater infrastructure,
combined with LID and MDCIA strategies, the likelihood of bed and bank erosion and the frequency of
erosive flows are reduced. Furthermore, this project will pay one-time stormwater development fees,
as well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of which help achieve Citywide drainageway
stability.
Step 4 – Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs. This step typically applies to
industrial and commercial developments.
C. DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA REFERENCE AND CONSTRAINTS
The subject property is not part of any Overall Development Plan (ODP) drainage study or similar
“development/project” drainage master plan.
The site plan is constrained to the north and west by public streets, to the south by Spring Creek,
and to the east by the Canal Importation Ditch.
D. HYDROLOGICAL CRITERIA
The City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, as depicted in Figure 3.4-1
of the FCSCM, serve as the source for all hydrologic computations associated with The Quarry by
Watermark development. Tabulated data contained in Table 3.4-1 has been utilized for Rational
Method runoff calculations.
The Rational Method has been used to estimate peak developed stormwater runoff from
drainage basins within the developed site for the 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year design storms.
Peak runoff discharges determined using this methodology have been used to check the street
capacities, inlets, swales, and storm drain lines.
Two separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage scenarios. The first
event analyzed is the “Minor,” or “Initial” Storm, which has a 2-year recurrence interval. The
second event considered is the “Major Storm,” which has a 100-year recurrence interval.
E. HYDRAULIC CRITERIA
The drainage facilities proposed with The Quarry by Watermark project are designed in
accordance with criteria outlined in the FCSCM.
As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is located next to a FEMA designated
floodplain but is not located within the floodplain limits.
F. FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE
As previously mentioned, this project is adjacent to a FEMA regulated floodplain. The
developable area of the project is located outside of the floodplain, and as such, it will not be
subject to any floodplain regulations. However, two storm outfalls and a small portion of the
access trail will be located within the floodway, and that work will be subject to the applicable
floodplain regulations of Chapter 10 of the City Municipal Code.
Despite most of the project not being located within the floodplain, consideration has been given
to the floodplain elevations as they relate to the proposed buildings and the finished floors have
been elevated accordingly.

FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 6 | 28
G. MODIFICATIONS OF CRITERIA
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with the Quarry by Watermark.
H. CONFORMANCE WITH WATER QUALITY TREATMENT CRITERIA
City Code requires that 100% of runoff from impervious surfaces in a project site shall receive some
sort of water quality treatment. This project proposes to provide water quality treatment using
several methods. A single rain garden will be located along the east edge of the site. Two separate
areas along the south side of the site will use underground chambers for treatment. Both areas will
discharge into two proposed detention ponds that will provide water quality for the remainder of the
site before discharge into the Canal Importation Basin. Due to the physical constraints associated
with an infill project of this nature and the prohibition of providing water quality facilities within the
public right-of-way, there are some small, narrow areas around the perimeter of the project that
cannot be captured. The uncaptured areas tend to be narrow strips of concrete flatwork that link the
building entrances to the public sidewalks as well as small planter beds between the building and
public sidewalks or property lines.
While these small areas will not receive formal water quality treatment, most areas will still see some
treatment as runoff is directed across through the landscaped areas or across the landscaped
parkways before reaching the roadway curb and gutter.
I. CONFORMANCE WITH LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID)
The project site will conform with the requirement to treat a minimum of 75% of the project site using
a LID technique. A single rain garden and underground chambers will be used to capture and filter or
infiltrate the water quality capture volume.
J. SIZING OF LID FACILITIES
Rain Gardens/Underground Chambers
1. The rain gardens and chambers were sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins B1-B10 for the rain garden and Basins A2 & D5-7 for the
chambers. A 12-hour drain time was used in this calculation.
2. Once the WQCV was identified, each rain garden and chamber area were sized for its respective
WQCV. The rain gardens will be constructed with a biomedia filter and underdrain. An
overflow drain will be provided in each rain garden and weir for chambers to pass storms
greater than the WQCV.
Water Quality Pond
1. The water quality pond was sized by first determining the required water quality capture
volume (WQCV) for Basins D1 and A1. Offsite flows from Basins OS1 and OS2 (Shields Street)
will be treated in the water quality ponds. A 40-hour drain time was used in this calculation.
2. Once the WQCV was identified, the water quality pond was sized to provide the WQCV. An
outlet control structure with overflow will be provided to pass storms greater than the WQCV.

IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. GENERAL CONCEPT
1. The main objective of The Quarry by Watermark drainage design is to maintain existing
drainage patterns, while not adversely impacting adjacent properties.
2. All storm drains on the site have been designed to convey 100-yr flows, except storm line 1
which is designed for the 2-yr storm.
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. Drainage for the project site has been analyzed using twenty-five (25) onsite drainage sub-
basins, designated as sub-basins A1- A2, B1-B10, C1-C2, D1-D7, E1-E2, and F1-F2. Furthermore,
there are three (3) offsite drainage sub-basins designated as sub-basins OS1, OS2, and OS3.
The drainage patterns anticipated for the basins are further described below.
Sub-Basins A1
Sub-Basin A1 encompasses approximately 7% of the total site area. Basin A1 contains Detention
Pond 1 which is the collection point of all B sub-basins on site before release into the Canal
Importation Ditch. This pond, in conjunction with Detention Pond 2, will moderate the release
rate into the ditch during the Major Storm. An outlet structure with a restrictor plate will be
installed with Pond 1 and an outfall pipe will be used for the discharge into the Canal Importation
Ditch. Storm drain 5-2, which serves as the outfall for both detention ponds, has a release rate of
1 cfs. Emergency Overflow from this pond will be directed into the Canal Importation Ditch.
Sub-Basins A2
Sub-Basin A2 encompasses approximately 9% of the total site area. Basin A2 is comprised
primarily of roof area, concrete flatwork, parking lot and landscaped areas. This basin will drain
into a valley pan and curb and gutter located in the parking lot and be captured by an inlet and
storm drain. Sub-Basin A2 is the collection point of overflow from basins B1-B10. These overflows
will pass over a series of weirs on their way to Sub-Basin A2 and ultimately drain to the inlet at DP
A2. Minor flows from this area will be treated by Stormtech Chambers 1, located just south of the
collection point. Major flows will bypass the Stormtech Chambers and proceed to Detention
Pond 1. All B basins will be detained in the pond, but Sub-basin A2 will be passed through the
spillway for Pond 1 and will not be detained as part of the “area trade” as discussed in Section
IV.B, below.
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: THE QUARRY BY WATERMARK
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 8 | 28
Sub-Basin B1 – B10
Sub-Basins B1 through B10 encompass approximately 36% the total site area. Basin B1, mainly
comprised of Rain Garden A, will be the main treatment method for the B sub-basins. Minor flows
will be treated in this rain garden, while flows from larger storms will proceed to Detention Pond
1 and to the Canal Importation ditch. The remaining sub-basins (B2-B10) are comprised primarily
of roof area, concrete flatwork, parking lot, and landscaped areas. The sub-basins will drain into
a valley pan and curb & gutter located within each sub-basin and towards a common storm
sewer. This common storm sewer will discharge into Rain Garden A. Storm sewer 1, which
conveys flows for all B basins, is sized for the minor storm event. Excess flows will continue
through the site over a series of weirs and ultimately into basin A2 where minor flows will be
treated by Storm Chamber 1 and then continue to Detention Pond 1. Major flows will proceed to
Detention pond 1 and then to the Canal Importation Ditch.
Sub-Basin C1
Sub-basin C1 is comprised of an existing ditch along the north property line (Ditch C). This
existing ditch conveys runoff from OS3 (Hobbit Street) and discharges directly into the Canal
Importation Ditch. This is an existing condition and there will be no added flows or change in
drainage patterns.
Sub-Basin C2
This sub-basin is comprised primarily of roof area, concrete flatwork, and landscaped areas.
Flows from the sub-basin will flow east into a proposed landscape drain and will be routed
through Storm sewer 1 to Rain Garden A. From Rain Garden A, flows will proceed to Detention
Pond 1, then to the Canal Importation.
Sub-Basin D1
Sub-Basin D1 encompasses approximately 5% the total site area. This basin contains Detention
Pond 2, which will collect runoff from Sub-Basins D, F, and the offsite flows from Shields (OS1 &
OS2). Detention Pond 2 will serve as the water quality pond for the remaining basins that are not
treated with LID. An outlet structure will be constructed with a water quality plate and restrictor
plate. The outfall for Pond 2 will discharge around Pond 1. The pond is designed to handle a total
inflow rate of approximately 49 cfs. Emergency overflow from detention pond 2 will flow through
the overflow channel and spill into detention pond 1 prior to discharging into the Canal
Importation Ditch.
Sub-Basin D2
Sub-Basin D2 encompasses approximately 1% the total site area. This sub-basin is comprised
primarily of landscaped areas. No development is proposed in this area and flows from the sub-
basin will discharge directly into Spring Creek.
Sub-Basin D3
This sub-basin is comprised primarily of roof area, concrete flatwork, parking lot, and landscaped
areas. The sub-basin will drain into a common storm sewer via curb and gutter. The storm sewer
will collect drainage from Sub-Basins OS1 and OS2, and discharge into Detention Pond 2. This
storm drain will capture only the 2-year flows from these basins. The 100-yr flows will continue
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: THE QUARRY BY WATERMARK
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 9 | 28
into Sub-Basin D4 via overland flow and curb and gutter flow towards the sidewalk chase that
will direct flows to Detention Pond 2. Flows will then proceed to the Canal Importation Ditch.
Sub-Basin D4
Sub-basin D4 encompasses approximately 4% of the total site area and is comprised of roof area,
concrete flatwork, parking lot, and landscaped areas. Runoff from this basin flows via curb and
gutter and overland flow to a proposed sidewalk chase that ultimately conveys the flow to
Detention Pond 2. Flows will then proceed to the Canal Importation Ditch.
Sub-Basin D5-D7
Sub-Basins D5-D7 encompass approximately 9% the total site area. These sub-basins are
comprised primarily of roof area, concrete flatwork, parking lot, and landscaped areas. The sub-
basins will drain into a common storm sewer via valley pans and curb and gutter. The storm
sewer will collect drainage from all the sub-basins and discharge into Stormtech Chambers 2.
The WQCV will be captured in these chambers during minor flows. Larger flows will bypass the
chambers and discharge directly into Detention Pond 2. Flows will then proceed to the Canal
Importation Ditch. Storm sewer will be sized to convey major storms.
Sub-Basin E1
Sub-basin E1 encompasses approximately 17% the total site area. This sub-basin comprises of
the Spring Creek flood plain. No improvements, except for storm sewer outfalls and a small
portion of the access trail, are proposed within this sub-basin.
Sub-Basin E2
Sub-basin E2 encompasses approximately 7% the total site area. This sub-basin comprises of the
Canal Importation flood plain. No improvements, except for storm sewer outfalls, are proposed
within this sub-basin.
Sub-Basins F1 & F2
Sub-basins F1 and F2 encompass approximately 1% the total site area. These sub-basins are
comprised primarily of concrete flatwork and landscaped areas. Flows from the sub-basin will
drain into curb and gutter along Shield Street. The curb and gutter will then convey the flows to
the intersection of Shields Street and Stuart Street (also the west entrance of the site), into Sub-
Basins D3 and D4, and ultimately Detention Pond 2. Flows will then proceed to the Canal
Importation Ditch.
Sub-Basin OS1 & OS2
Offsite Sub-Basins OS1 and OS2 consist of the west edge of Shields Street that directly impacts
the project site. These sub-basins are comprised primarily of asphalt, concrete flatwork, and a
landscaped parkway. Flows from the sub-basin will drain into curb and gutter along Shields
Street. The curb and gutter will then convey the flows to the intersection of Shields Street and
Stuart Street (also the west entrance of the site), into Sub-Basins D3 and D4, and ultimately into
Water Quality Pond D. 1.7 of the 2.5 acres will be detained and treated in Pond 2. The remaining
0.8 acres will pass through the detention pond.
Sub-Basin OS3
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: THE QUARRY BY WATERMARK
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 10 | 28
Offsite Sub-Basin OS3 consists of Hobbit Street north of the project site. This sub-basin is
comprised primarily of asphalt and concrete flatwork. Flows from the sub-basin will drain into
curb and gutter along Hobbit Street. The curb and gutter will then convey the flows to Ditch C
and ultimately into the Canal Importation Ditch.
A full-size copy of the Drainage Exhibit can be found in the Map Pocket at the end of this report.
B. SPECIFIC DETAILS
Two detention ponds are proposed with this development and will detain up to the 100-yr storm
event and release at or below the caluclated release rate. A SWMM model was created to
determine the detention volumes. See Appendix C for more detail. See Table 3 for detention
summary and Table 4 for an allowable release summary.
Table 3 – Detention Summary
Table 4 – Allowable Release Summary
LID treatment is being provided within Rain Garden A and Stormtech Chambers 1 & 2. These treat
approxmiately 85% of the site impervious runoff which is more than the required LID treatement
of 75%. Please see the LID exhibt and calculations in Appendix C. The remainder of water quality
will be provided by extended detention.
Detention allowable release rate is based on computed 2-year historic flow for the overall
property. We have added historic flow from Right-of-Way area in addition to the property. Basins
OS1 and OS2 (Please see Historic Drainage Exhibit), with a combined area of 2.28 acres, will be
taken into Pond 2 and will be detained. Thus, we have added 2-year historic flow from these
basins to the site allowable release. We proposed an “area trade” which allows for the free
release of developed basin A2, with an area of 1.75 acres. We will detain 1.75 acres of offsite
basins OS1 and OS2 (combined area of 2.28 acres), and in exchange, we will be allowed to free
release basin A2. Based on historic flow computations provided in the appendix, the summation
