I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Site Location
The proposed Enclave at Redwood development (hereinafter referred to as “Site”) is located in the
southeast ¼ of Section 1, Township 7 north, Range 69 west of the sixth Principal Meridian, City of Fort
Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado. The Site is bounded by Redwood Street to the west and
East Suniga Road to the south. A small portion of the Site exists south of East Suniga Road. Adjacent
developments include the Meadows at Redwood PUD Phase 1 (Redwood Meadows) to the west,
Northfield to the east and southeast, and Evergreen Park 3rd (Evergreen) to the north. Lake Canal exists
as an irrigation ditch adjacent to the Site to the east and southeast, and Redwood Channel lies adjacent
to the Site to the north. The Site will connect to Redwood St to the southwest, Lupine Dr in Redwood
Meadows to the west, Steeley Dr in Northfield to the southeast, and Collamer Dr in Northfield to the
east. See Appendix A for the Vicinity Map. The Site exists entirely within the Dry Creek master drainage
basin.
B. Description of Property
The Site is approximately 29.66 acres of undeveloped land. The undeveloped land is made up of various
native trees and grasses. The Site generally slopes from west to east at grades between roughly 0.3%
and 1% towards Lake Canal. Lake Canal is an irrigation ditch and discharging stormwater from the
developed Site to this ditch will require approval from the ditch ownership. Redwood Pond is an existing
regional pond to the northwest of the Site, it historically outfalls east into the Redwood Channel
drainage ditch that exists north of the Site. The proposed development of the Site will feature mutli-
family housing, public and private roadways, walks, parks, a clubhouse with pool, landscaped areas, four
on-Site detention facilities and low-impact-development systems.
Cole Garner Geotechnical has prepared a Geotechnical Engineering Report for Enclave at Redwood
Residential Development on August 11, 2021. This report details existing soils information for the Site.
Ten borings were drilled on-Site to examine subsurface conditions in February of 2021. Groundwater
was encountered in all borings at the time of drilling and approximately two weeks after drilling at
depths ranging from 8 to 12 feet below existing Site grades. In order to account for seasonal
groundwater fluctuations, Cole Garner measured groundwater levels in the aforementioned borings
again in September of 2021. It was found that three of the ten borings saw no change in groundwater
elevation, six of the ten borings saw a rise in groundwater of less than 1.5 feet, and one of the borings
saw a rise in groundwater of 4 feet. The drainage design of the Site will consider the readings from
September to be the more accurate reading indicative of the wet season. Due to shallow groundwater
concerns, construction dewatering may be required. All drainage facilities will be located at least 24
inches above groundwater or feature a detailed underdrain system. Please see Appendix A for relevant
portions of the Geotechnical Engineering Report and a table of the groundwater readings taken in
September of 2021.

II. MASTER DRAINAGE BASIN DESCRIPTION
A. Floodplain
The Site is shown on the Federal Emergency Agency’s (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
Community Panel Numbers 08069C0977G and 08069C0981G, effective June 17, 2008. Lake Canal is
partially located within Zone X (0.2% annual chance flood hazard) and therefore the Site is partially
within this zone. Because the development of the Site will not involve altering of Lake Canal, no
floodplain modifications are necessary. Please refer to Appendix A for more details.
B. Master Drainage Basin
The Site exists in the Dry Creek Master Drainage Basin, but according to the City of Fort Collins, the Dry
Creek Master Drainage Plan is outdated and not specific to the Site. The North East College Corridor
Outfall Design Report prepared by Ayres Associates in August 2009 (NECCO) will be utilized to impose
drainage conditions on the Site instead of the Dry Creek Master Drainage Plan. Please see Appendix B
for relevant portions from the NECCO report. This report details the design and construction of a
regional pond that conveys a large amount of runoff from the Dry Creek basin in a new storm main
beneath E Suniga St running from west to east. This report also contains design plans to revise the
existing Redwood Pond’s grading and change its outfall location from the Redwood Channel drainage
ditch north of the Site to the NECCO storm main beneath E Suniga St south of the Site. The Redwood
Pond changes detailed in the NECCO report have not been constructed, and therefore the A2 lateral
outlined in the NECCO report has not been constructed either. The Site will require design and
construction of the proposed Redwood Pond outlet structure and the A2 lateral storm line that are
detailed in the NECCO report. No other proposed changes to the Redwood Pond will be constructed as
part of this development, as the Site contributes no runoff to the Redwood Pond. The A2 lateral storm
line will connect to an existing stub from the NECCO main and will act as the ultimate outfall of the
developed Site.
The basins from the NECCO report that were analyzed for this report include basins 113, 213, 313, 413,
and 812. The Site exists in basins 113, 313, and 413. Basin 413 will remain undeveloped and thus the A3
lateral detailed in the NECCO report will not be constructed, and runoff from this basin will continue to
follow historic patterns and release into Lake Canal undetained and untreated. The NECCO report calls
for future on-Site detention for basins 113 and 313, which will each require a 100-year release rate of
0.2 cubic-feet-per-second (CFS) per acre. Basin 213 consists of the Redwood Meadows development and
would require water quality treatment but no detention if redeveloped in the future. The Site will
provide inlets at various points between the border of the Redwood Meadows development and the
Site boundary in order to capture all runoff from basin 213 and route it to the A2 lateral storm line.
Basin 812 consists of the Redwood Pond, which the NECCO report details as requiring regrading and
redesign to allow for a 100-year detention volume of 7.70 acre-feet (ac-ft) and an additional 2.16 ac-ft of
storage for water quality. The redesign would entail adding additional pond facilities such as trickle
channels and forebays, as well as plugging the existing outlet, but leaving the existing berm and
overflow spillway. As stated above, because the Site will not contribute runoff to the Redwood Pond,
only the outlet structure and storm lateral A2 will be designed and constructed as part of this
development. Please see Section IV of this report for more information on the proposed redesign of the
Redwood Pond. The on-Site detention facilities will meet the release rate constraint of 0.2 CFS/acre
imposed by the NECCO Report.

Also provided for the development of drainage for the Site was an existing conditions SWMM model
featuring the constructed NECCO storm main under E Suniga St and the regional pond designed in the
NECCO Report. This model included a significant number of elements not pertinent to the Site
development and elements that were pertinent to the Site development featured parameters based on
outdated LIDAR data. Because of these issues, it was decided to wait to incorporate the Site into the
existing conditions NECCO model that was received until the Site design is further developed. As such, a
Site-specific SWMM model was developed for preliminary drainage analysis. In order to account for the
existing conditions model ahead of the Site model’s insertion, the elements contributing runoff to the
Redwood Pond upstream of the Site have been brought into the Site model, and tailwater data from the
existing conditions model has been inserted into the outfall of the Site model, which is the NECCO main
A2 lateral stub. The Site SWMM model will be incorporated into the existing conditions NECCO SWMM
model upon final drainage analysis in a future version of this drainage report. Please see Appendix E for
the tailwater time series and upstream elements that were brought from the existing conditions model
to the Site model.
Historic drainage analysis of the Site shows that the entirety of the Site (29.66 acres) discharges into
Lake Canal existing along the Site boundary running from the southeast to the northeast. The existing
Site has an imperviousness of 2% and an approximate 100-year runoff of 14 CFS, all of which discharges
into Lake Canal. Any stormwater discharging from the developed Site into Lake Canal will require
approval from the ditch ownership. The Site will contribute some undetained and untreated runoff to
Lake Canal due to the Site’s existing drainage patterns. Please see Section IV of this report for
approximate 100-year runoff values discharging to Lake Canal from the developed Site. Please note the
approximate runoff stated here and in Section IV is calculated using SWMM’s hydrologic calculator,
more accurate runoff calculations using the Rational Method will be included in a later version of this
report.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations and Previous Studies
The principal design criteria used for this report was the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual, revised
December 2018 (FCSCM). In addition, Mile High Flood District’s (MHFD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria
Manual, Volumes 1-3 revised August 2018, September 2017, and January 2021 respectively, were used
(USDCM). The NECCO report from above also provides a certain level of drainage criteria for the Site
that must be met.
B. Four-Step Process
a. Step 1: Employ Runoff Reduction Practices
The Site will feature numerous open areas dedicated for low-impact-development (LID), parks, and
above ground detention. Wherever possible, vegetated swales will be used to convey runoff to area
inlets and roof drains will be used to convey flow to these swales, directly to LID implements, or to
storm sewer structures.
Enclave at Redwood
Page 7
October 19, 2021
b. Step 2: Implement BMPs That Provide a WQCV with Slow Release
There are four LID systems incorporated on-Site, all of them being isolator rows for underground
infiltration. These implements are utilized to treat over 75% of newly added impervious are with the
development of the Site per the FCSCM. A majority of the remainder of the Site’s impervious areas will
be treated in the above ground on-Site detention pond.
c. Step 3: Stabilize Streams
The Site will be far upstream of Dry Creek and the NECCO report has already considered developed
release rates from the Site entering Dry Creek. There will be no need to provide stream stabilization of
Dry Creek with the development of the Site.
d. Step 4: Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs
Because the Site is not a new development or redevelopment of an industrial or commercial zone this
step is not applicable to the Site.
C. Hydrologic Design Criteria
Design Frequencies – For the Site, the minor storm will be the 2-year and the major storm will be the
100-year. For detention volume and release rates, the WQCV and 100-year storm events have been
analyzed.
Rainfall Data - Fort Collins varies by runoff calculation method. For the purpose of this preliminary
drainage report, only SWMM was used in calculating runoff. Below is Table 4.1-4 which presents rainfall
intensity values for use in SWMM modelling.
Enclave at Redwood
Page 8
October 19, 2021
Hydrologic Computation Method – As stated above, only EPA SWMM 5.1 was used to calculate runoff
for this preliminary drainage design. As of now the basins tributary to each of the ponds have not been
broken into smaller sub-basins for the purpose of inlet calculations. For future iterations of this report,
the rational method will be utilized. SWMM uses basin imperviousness, slope, area, and width along
with several default parameters to calculate runoff. SWMM inputs can be found in Appendix E as well as
Section IV of this report. The rational method uses weighted “C” coefficients based upon surface type
and a time of concentration to determine runoff. Fort Collins rational method IDF table and “C”
coefficient table can be found in Appendix C along with SWMM subcatchment default parameters and
imperviousness by surface type tables. A summary of SWMM results for each subcatchment can be
found in Appendix C as well. The rational method “C” coefficient and water quality event rainfall
intensities were utilized in the Modified FAA Procedure to calculate the WQCV for the isolator rows. It
should be noted that imperviousness values used were rounded up from exact calculated values for this
preliminary drainage design.
Detention Volume Computation Method – For project sizes greater than 20 acres, SWMM is required for
detention calculation. SWMM storage nodes are used to represent the ponds and require storage curves
(depth-area), SWMM then computes a volume based on these tables. SWMM outlet links are used to
represent a ponds outlet structure and require rating curves (depth-release). SWMM can also utilize
orifice, weir, or conduit links for a pond’s outlet structure. A mix of these different links were utilized for
the Site’s SWMM modelling. More discussion on pond modelling in the Site SWMM model can be found
in Section IV of this report, and all calculations relating to detention ponds and facilities can be found in
Appendix D. The FCSCM requires that the WQCV be added to the 100-year storage volume as opposed
Enclave at Redwood
Page 9
October 19, 2021
to being included in said volume, thus the WQCV has been included in the SWMM model’s storage
nodes as an initial water depth value. Please see below for more information on computation of the
WQCV. See Appendix E for SWMM output results of storage nodes.
Water Quality Control Volume Calculation – The only LID systems implemented on-Site are isolator rows
featuring underground infiltration. Three of these systems are included as part of an underground
detention chamber system, and one other features isolator row chambers solely. For these isolator row
systems, a spreadsheet received from Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) was used to determine the
number of chambers needed based on product choice, chamber volume, and required WQCV. For the
sizing of these systems, two different WQCV values are compared to determine which results in a higher
number of required chambers. The first is 120% of the WQCV based on a 12-hour drain time, which can
be calculated using UD-BMP’s rain garden tab and multiplying that value by 1.2. The second is the WQCV
calculated from the modified FAA procedure, which uses a weighted “C” coefficient, tributary area, and
maximum flow out of the chamber system. Whichever WQCV results in more chambers based on the
received spreadsheet discussed above is the utilized WQCV. The required WQCV for the above ground
on-Site detention pond was found using the UD-BMP extended detention basin tab. This tab computes a
WQCV based on a 40-hour drain time, which is then multiplied by a factor of 1.2 to meet the 120% of
the WQCV requirement from the FCSCM. See Appendix D for the calculation of the WQCV for the above
ground pond, and Appendix F for the calculation of the WQCV and chamber requirements for the
isolator rows.
D. Hydraulic Design Criteria
Detention Pond Infrastructure Sizing - Express Hydraflow will be used to calculate vegetated swale and
emergency overflow spillway capacities for the Site. The FCSCM requires that overflow spillway design
flow depth be no greater than 0.5 feet. UD-BMP will be used to size trickle channels, forebays, and
forebay notches for the above ground pond. Outlet structures for the Redwood Pond and on-Site above
ground detention pond have been preliminarily designed, and only the Redwood Pond will feature a
rating curve in SWMM to act as an outlet. The on-Site above ground detention pond has been designed
in SWMM using multiple orifice and weir links instead of a rating curve. This pond and the three
underground detention chamber systems do not feature rating curves and instead feature conduits with
their maximum flow values set at the 0.2 CFS/acre release rate criteria. This ensures the facilities will
have enough volume without needing to fully design their outlet structure (box height, restrictor plates,
orifice plates). These detention facilities’ outlet structures will be designed fully in a future version of
this report using stage-storage-discharge tables that result in a developed rating curve. The MHFD
spreadsheet “SDI_Design_Data_v1.08.xlsm” released January 2017 will be used to confirm that pond
release rates meet Colorado drain time criteria. For preliminary drainage design, meeting the release
rate criteria took precedent over drain time criteria, thus the SDI data sheets included with this version
of the report should only be used to check 100-year drain times. For final drainage design, rating curves
will be used to develop more accurate drain times and show proper conformance. Spillways, preliminary
SDI data sheets, and stage-area tables can be found in Appendix D.
Street Capacity Calculation – Street sections upstream of proposed inlets will be analyzed using the
MHFD spreadsheet “MHFD-Inlet v5.01” released April 2021. These calculations will be presented in a
later version of this report.
Storm Sewer Sizing – Inlet sizing will be performed using the MHFD-Inlet spreadsheet. For the
preliminary layout of the storm network inlet sizes were estimated based on contributing area. Inlet
Enclave at Redwood
Page 10
October 19, 2021
Type 16 curb and valley inlets, Type R curb inlets, and Type C and D areas inlets were utilized for this
Site. Storm pipe sizing and vertical alignment will be analyzed using Bentley StormCAD CONNECT.
StormCAD computes losses and velocities and produces accurate HGLs and EGLs to prove the storm
sewer network works hydraulically. Inlet sizing calculations and StormCAD pipe sizing calculations will be
provided in a later version of this report.
E. Variances
The drainage design for the Site will not require any variance from criteria put forth in the FCSCM,
USDCM, and NECCO Report.
F. Erosion Control
The following drainage design will comply with all erosion control criteria put forth in the USDCM,
FCSCM, and NECCO Report. All erosion control materials will be provided with the final drainage report.
IV. PROPOSED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
A. General Concept
The Site will include outlet structure design for the Redwood Pond to the northwest of the Site as
detailed in the NECCO report. For the preliminary drainage design of the Site, the outlet structure has
been designed to attempt to meet the parameters presented in the NECCO report without regrading.
The Site will include development of the NECCO A2 storm lateral, which runs from the new Redwood
Pond outlet structure to an existing stub off of the NECCO main line under E Suniga Rd. There are three
proposed underground detention chamber facilities and one proposed above ground detention pond, all
of which will feature some level of water quality treatment. All four of these facilities will feature an
outlet structure to be designed in a later version of this report. The above ground pond will bypass a
portion of the 100-year runoff routed to it to one of the underground chamber facilities downstream. All
four of these ponds will meet the 0.2 CFS/ac release rate criteria, and release to the NECCO A2 storm
lateral. For the purpose of this preliminary drainage design, all four ponds are shown to be capturing
100% of runoff from the Site in order to size them conservatively. For the final drainage design of the
Site, each of these ponds tributary areas will be refined and their required volumes will decrease. Site
runoff will be conveyed to these ponds via roof drains, swales, inlets and storm sewer pipes, and
landscape drains, all to be designed in a later version of this report. Runoff from basin 213 consisting of
Redwood Meadows will be captured by proposed on-Site inlets and routed directly into the NECCO A2
storm lateral. Further breakdown of the ponds and a summary table can be found below.
The Site will feature four LID systems all of which being underground infiltration isolator rows. Three of
these systems will be included in the three underground detention chambers mentioned above. The
fourth system will be directly upstream of the above ground detention pond and will not feature any
100-year detention. These LID features are designed to treat at least 75% of the Site’s impervious areas
for the WQCV. Unlike the detention facilities mentioned above, these LID systems are only designed to
capture the areas actual tributary to them and have been sized as such. The systems are conservatively
sized by rounding up the calculated imperviousness of their tributary areas for use in calculations.
Enclave at Redwood
Page 11
October 19, 2021
Runoff will be routed to these systems via roof drains, swales, inlets and storm sewer pipes, and
landscape drains, all to be designed in a later version of this report. Any on-Site runoff that is not
practicable to route to a stormwater facility will leave the Site untreated, however more LID facilities
may be added in a future revision to the Site’s drainage design to reduce the amount of area leaving the
Site untreated. The above ground detention pond features water quality detention but does not treat
for any areas already accounted for by LID facilities. Further breakdown of the LID areas and a summary
table can be found below.
For the SWMM analysis included in this preliminary drainage design report only seven subcatchments
were used, and the only storm line included was the NECCO A2 storm lateral that receives the outfall
from all five ponds and runoff from basins 213 and 413. This is a high-level analysis of the Site’s drainage
and the SWMM subcatchments will be further refined for the final drainage report. Below is a
breakdown of the seven subcatchments as well as a table featuring their SWMM input parameters. Also
found below is a table summarizing SWMM model results.
See Appendix C for summary of subcatchments and SWMM input parameters. See Appendix D for
underground detention chamber layouts, stage-area tables for all ponds, SDI data sheets for all ponds,
and any other pond calculations and information. See Appendix E for SWMM schematic, input report
and output results. See Appendix F for LID calculations, summary table, and exhibit showing areas and
locations of facilities. See Appendix G for drainage map showing pond locations, basins, drainage
patterns, and storm layout.

Basin 113_1 lies on-Site and encompasses the southwestern portion of the Site. This basin consists of
multi-family housing, walks, roadways, alleys, open space and underground detention system UD1.
Runoff from this basin will be conveyed to UD1 in the southern portion of this basin via roof drains,
Enclave at Redwood
Page 12
October 19, 2021
swales, storm sewer systems, and landscape drains. It is assumed that some potions of this basin will
flow off-Site undetained and untreated into Redwood St or Lake Canal, but all of this basin is tributary to
UD2 for the purpose of this preliminary drainage analysis.
Basin 113_2 lies on-Site and encompasses the eastern portion and border of the Site. This basin consists
of multi-family housing, walks, roadways, alleys, open space, portions of Lake Canal irrigation ditch and
underground detention system UD2. Runoff from this basin will be conveyed to UD2 in the
southwestern portion of the basin via roof drains, swales, storm sewer systems, and landscape drains. It
is assumed that some portions of this basin will flow off-Site undetained and untreated into Lake Canal
or the Northfield development, but all of this basin is tributary to UD2 for the purpose of this
preliminary drainage analysis.
Basin 113_3 lies on-Site and encompasses the middle portion of the Site spanning from the Redwood
Meadows property boundary to the west to the northeastern corner of the Site. This basin consists of
multi-family housing, walks, roadways, alleys, open space, isolator rows, and above ground detention
pond Pond1. A majority of the runoff from this basin will be conveyed to the isolator row system IR1 in
the middle of the basin via roof drains, swales, storm sewer systems, and landscape drains. All other
runoff from this basin will be conveyed directly into Pond1 instead of being routed through IR1. The area
Pond1 takes up will also be utilized as an open space park. It is assumed that some portions of this basin
will flow undetained and untreated into inlets meant to capture basin 213, but all of this basin is
tributary to Pond1 for the purpose of this preliminary drainage analysis.
Basin 113_4 lies on-Site and encompasses the northern portion of the Site. This basin is consisting of
multi-family housing, walks, roadways, alleys, open space, and underground detention system UD3.
Runoff from this basin will be conveyed to UD3 in the northwestern portion of the basin via roof drains,
swales, storm sewer systems, and landscape drains. It is assumed some portions of this basin will
contribute runoff north off-Site undetained and untreated into the Redwood Channel drainage ditch,
but all of this basin is tributary to UD3 for the purpose of this preliminary drainage analysis.
Basin 213 lies off-Site to the west of the Site. This basin consists of the Redwood Meadows development
featuring walks, single-family homes, roadways, and open spaces. Runoff from this basin will not need
detained but will need to be conveyed to the NECCO A2 storm lateral. Two at-grade inlets are proposed
at the connection of Lupine Dr and the Site to collect runoff from the roadways of this basin. An area
inlet and swale are also proposed sitting just east of the Redwood Meadows development meant to
collect any runoff from this basin that is not collected by the roadways within the basin. This basin
slopes from the south to the northwest generally. This basins imperviousness was assumed to be 75%
for conservative analysis but may decrease to a more exact value for the Final Drainage Report.
Basin 413 lies on-Site south of E Suniga St. This basin will remain undeveloped and consists entirely of
open space. Runoff from this basin will continue to follow historic patterns and discharge into Lake
Canal. The NECCO report details an additional storm lateral A3 for this basin but will not be constructed
because this lot will remain undeveloped.
Basin 812 lies off-Site to the northwest of the Site. This basin consists of the existing Redwood Pond.
Runoff from this basin will be collected by the Redwood Pond.
Preliminary analysis was done to determine the amount of undetained and untreated flow leaving the
Site. Note that for the final drainage design more of these areas may be picked up by on-Site storm
Enclave at Redwood
Page 13
October 19, 2021
sewer systems or LID facilities. Approximately 5.58 acres of the Site currently contributes flow off-Site
untreated and undetained, with 0.21 acres being captured by the NECCO A2 storm lateral, 0.28 acres
discharging into the Northfield development, 0.04 acres discharging into Redwood St, 0.60 acres
discharging into Redwood Channel, and 4.45 acres discharging into Lake Canal. Note that runoff
discharging from the developed Site into Lake Canal and Redwood Channel is mostly coming from open
space. Further analysis of these areas will be conducted with the final drainage design of the Site.
C. Specific Details
The Redwood Pond outlet structure has been preliminarily designed as two modified Type C inlet boxes
and grates as detailed in the NECCO report. The NECCO report calls for a pond bottom invert of 4953.10,
so the proposed outlet structure will be buried until the Redwood Pond is regraded. Because the
structure will be buried the only thing controlling the release rate in this preliminary design are the
grates at the top of the structure. The release rate for the pond from the Site’s SWMM model can be
ignored for the preliminary design of the Site, as final design of the outlet structure will be coordinated
with the City. The pond’s berm and spillway will remain the same at an elevation of 4962.10, and the
existing outlet pipe into Redwood Channel will be plugged as part of the ultimate condition for this
pond. The stage-storage-discharge table presented in Appendix D for this pond was put together in
order to not have any blank information in the SWMM model and begin design of the outlet structure,
as long as the inaccurate release rates did not cause flooding in the SWMM model. The final release rate
for this pond will be equal to or less than 15.96 CFS, as presented in the NECCO report.
Pond1 is located in the middle portion of the Site and features a depth of 4.27 ft and a pond bottom
elevation of 4957.48. The spillway has a crest elevation of 4960.25 and a length of 76 ft. The spillway is
situated on the northern edge of the pond and will discharge runoff above the 100-year event into
public roadway. Basin 113_3 (9.75 ac) is tributary to this pond, allowing for a release rate of 1.95 CFS for
the 100-year storm event. Most of the runoff from basin 113_3 will be captured and treated for water
quality by the isolator row LID facility named IR1 directly upstream of the pond. All runoff from this
basin not treated by IR1 will be treated via standard practices in Pond1. Pond1 has a WQCV water
surface elevation (WSEL) of 4958.65, modelled as an initial depth of 1.17 ft in the SWMM model. This
pond will feature varying side slopes and aesthetically pleasing design. Due to this design and
maintaining the open space this pond lies within as a usable park, the available storage volume (given a
0.5 ft spillway design flow depth and 1 ft of freeboard) is not large enough to capture and detain the full
100-year runoff while meeting the required release rate of 1.95 CFS. A dual outlet box structure has
been preliminarily designed to release 1.95 CFS to the NECCO A2 storm lateral while bypassing the
necessary extra 100-year runoff to detention facility UD2 in order to not cause overtopping of the
spillway during the 100-year storm. The main outlet box will feature orifice holes and a weir grate as
typical to treat the WQCV, and a restrictor plate to be designed during final drainage design that limits
the release rate to 1.95 CFS. The secondary outlet box will feature a rectangular orifice with an invert
above the WQCV WSEL and a pipe at the bottom of the box that will route undetained and untreated
runoff to UD2. The volume of runoff bypassed to UD2 is approximately 2.02 ac-ft with a flow rate
around 35 CFS. The minimum groundwater depth below this pond is 6.60 ft, with an elevation of
4950.88. Please see the table below for SWMM computed results for this pond.
Underground detention system UD1 is located in the southwestern portion of the Site and features an
invert elevation of 4951.40. This system will be comprised of 288 ADS MC-4500 Stormtech chambers
with 9 inches of stone below the chambers and 12 inches of stone above the chambers. The total height
of the system is 6.75 ft, putting the top of stone at an elevation of 4958.15. The minimum finished grade

above the system is 4960.81 which is more than the 1 ft of required cover above the top of the system.
The maximum groundwater elevation below the system is 4949.40, which is 24 inches below the bottom
of the facility, meeting FCSCM criteria. Basin 113_1 (4.28 ac) is tributary to this system, allowing for a
release rate of 0.86 CFS for the 100-year storm event. The system releases directly into the NECCO A2
storm lateral. The outlet manhole design to be included for final drainage design will feature an orifice
plate, weir, and restrictor plate to hold the release rate to 0.86 CFS. Please see the table below for
SWMM computed results for this system. The WQCV for this system will be treated entirely by isolator
rows included in the system, see below for more information on these chambers.
Underground detention system UD2 is located in the southwestern portion of the Site and features an
invert elevation of 4946.76. This system will be comprised of 790 ADS MC-4500 Stormtech chambers
with 54 inches of stone below the chambers and 12 inches of stone above the chambers. The total
height of the system is 10.5 ft, putting the top of stone at an elevation of 4957.26. The minimum
finished grade above the system is 4958.26 which is exactly the 1 ft of required cover above the top of
the system. The maximum groundwater elevation around the system is 4948.42, which is 1.66 ft above
the invert of the system. In order to effectively lower the groundwater around the system and meet
FCSCM criteria a geotextile liner will be placed around the entirety of the system and an underdrain
system will be placed around the bottom of the system. This underdrain system will be designed in a
later version of this report. Basin 113_2 (7.86 ac) is tributary to the system, allowing for a release rate of
1.57 CFS for the 100-year storm event. The system releases directly into the NECCO A2 storm lateral.
The outlet manhole design to be included for final drainage design will feature an orifice plate, weir, and
restrictor plate to hold the release rate to 1.57 CFS. Please see the table below for SWMM computed
results for this system. The WQCV for this system will be treated entirely by isolator rows included in the
system, see below for more information on these chambers.
Underground detention system UD3 is located in the northeastern portion of the Site and features an
invert elevation of 4955.81. This system will be comprised of 363 ADS MC-3500 Stormtech chambers
with 9 inches of stone below the chambers and 12 inches of stone above the chambers. The total height
of the system is 5.50 ft, putting the top of stone at an elevation of 4961.31. The minimum finished grade
above the system is 4961.81 which is exactly the 0.5 ft of required cover above the top of the system.
The maximum groundwater elevation below the system is 4953.81, which is 24 inches below the bottom
of the facility, meeting FCSCM criteria. Basin 113_4 (5.58 ac) is tributary to this system, allowing for a
release rate of 1.12 CFS for the 100-year storm event. The system releases directly into the NECCO A2
storm lateral. The outlet manhole design to be included for final drainage design will feature an orifice
plate, weir, and restrictor plate to hold the release rate to 1.12 CFS. Please see the table below for
SWMM computed results for this system. The WQCV for this system will be treated entirely by isolator
rows included in the system, see below for more information on these chambers.
See below for Table 2 showing a summary of pond results from SWMM. The WQCV presented in this
table for the underground detention systems is from the LID isolator rows to be discussed below. The
WQCV for the above ground pond does not include any volume already treated by LID systems. The
WQCV WSELs have been inputted into SWMM and not computed.

Isolator rows IR1 are located in the middle portion of the Site, just upstream of Pond1. The sizing
process for these chambers is located above in Section III. The result is 42 ADS MC-3500 Stormtech
chambers. These chambers will have a release rate of 1.51 CFS. This system has a total height of 5.50 ft,
requiring 2 ft below the system clear of groundwater, and 0.5 ft above the system for cover. The
minimum groundwater depth for this system is approximately 11.50 ft, giving this system more than
enough vertical clearance both ways. The 100-year runoff entering this system will bypass the system
undetained and into Pond1.
Isolator rows IR2, IR3, and IR4 are located within underground detention systems UD1, UD2, and UD3
respectively. These isolator row chambers will match the inverts and dimensions of the systems they are
within. IR2 located within UD1 will feature 20 chambers, IR3 located within UD2 will feature 21
chambers, and IR4 located within UD3 will feature 30 chambers.

V. CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with Standards
The drainage design is prepared in compliance with the FCSCM and the USDCM Volumes 1, 2, and 3.
As stated before, the NECCO report details utilizing a release of less than 15.96 CFS for the Redwood
Pond and less than 0.2 CFS/ac for the three on-Site ponds. This criteria has been met for the proposed
preliminary drainage design.
B. Drainage Concept
The drainage design as described herein; if properly constructed and maintained, will effectively control
stormwater runoff in accordance with the criteria. The proposed development will provide water quality
and detention for the 100-year event with associated outlets and spillway overflow. This drainage design
for the proposed development does not have any impact on the NECCO report design. The drainage
design for this Site will have no adverse effects to any upstream or downstream adjacent properties.
