FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
The Interstate Land P.U.D., First Filing is bound by the I-25 Frontage Road on
Poudre
the east and south, Boxelder Creek on the west, and the Cache La
Reservoir Inlet on the north.
The site location can also be described as situated in the Southeast 1/4 of Section
16, Township 7 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., City of Fort Collins,
■
L.arimer County, Colorado. The site location can be seen on page 2 of Appendix
A.
B. Description of Property
The Interstate Land P.U.D., First Filing will contain approximately 4 acres of land
Prospect Road. Presently, the property
located at the northwest corner of I-25 and
is undeveloped. A portion of the area was previously farmland and the remainder
■
in the floodplain of Boxelder Creek. The topography of the site generally slopes
from the east to the west at approximately 2 percent.
N II. DRAINAGE BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
The proposed development lies within the Boxelder Creek Basin. Natural
drainageways run along the south and east boundaries of the development.
Boxelder Creek roughly parallels the west boundary of the development.
B. Sub -Basin Description
The Interstate Land First Filing has been broken into 6 sub -basins. Sub -basins 1-3
will be developed with commercial buildings including the proposed John's Harley
Davidson dealership. Sub -basin 4 contains the portion of the I-25 Frontage Road
which fronts the site. Sub -basin 5 includes a small section of the Frontage Road
and the proposed water quality capture pond for this development. Sub -basin 6
contains the portion of the site which includes Boxelder Creek and will have very
little disturbance. These sub -basins are shown on the Drainage and Erosion
Control Plan in the back of this report.

M. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
' The City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria is being used for the
subject site.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
Runoff from the 10-year storm event is routed via curb flow, an area inlet and
piping to the water quality capture pond located in the southwest corner of the
development. The runoff from the 100-year storm is also routed to the water
quality pond via parking lot and overland flow which then overflows to Boxelder
Creek located to the west of the development.
C. Hydrological Criteria
The Rational Method was used to determine surface runoff for the project site.
The 10-year and 100-year storm event criteria, obtained by the City of Fort
Collins, were used in calculating runoff values. These calculations and criteria are
included in the Appendix A of this report.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
All hydraulic calculations within this report have been prepared in accordance with
the City of Fort Collins Drainage Criteria, and are also included in the Appendix
A.
E. Variances from Criteria
No variances are being sought for the proposed project site.
Pa
M IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
MA. General Concept
Drainage sub -basins 1 - 5 are designed to flow through the water quality capture
pond located in the southwest corner of the development. The 10-year storm as
well as the 100-year storm will be routed to the pond. Because the volume of the
10-year storm event runoff is greater than the volume of the water quality pond,
the 10-year storm event runoff will overflow the water quality ponds and sheet
flow directly into Boxelder Creek. The water quality capture ponds were designed
using the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District of Denver and the City of
_ Fort Collins Drainage guidelines in order to capture the first flush of stormwater
and release it over a 40-hour drain time. Sub -basin 6 will remain undisturbed and
drains directly into Boxelder Creek. Reference the Drainage and Erosion Control
Plan in the back of this report for sub -basin delineation.
Flow from Sub -basin 1, which consists entirely of roof area, will be collected in
the roof gutter system and connected to the storm drain pipe running to the water
quality pond. Runoff from Sub -basin 2 will enter an area inlet located at the
loading dock and be carried in a pipe to the water quality pond. Sub -basin 3 will
— sheet flow and curb and gutter flow to a curb cut located at the southwesterly
corner of the parking lot. The runoff will then outfall to the water quality pond in
a swale down the side of the pond. Stormwaters from Sub -basin 4 will be carried
by the proposed curb and gutter along the Frontage Road to a swale which runs
into the water quality pond. Sub -basin 5 will flow directly into the water quality
pond, and Sub -basin 6 will drain directly into Boxelder Creek.
B. Specific Details
The 10-year storm event runoff from Sub -basin 1 was determined to be 1.1 cfs,
_ and will be collected by the roof drain system of the Harley Davidson Dealership
building. The gutter system and roof drain pipes will need to carry the 10-year
flow. To pass the first flush of the roof runoff through the water quality capture
pond, the roof drain system will be connected to the stormdrain pipe from Sub -
basin 2. The 100-year runoff from Sub -basin 1 was determined to be 2.2 cfs and
will overflow the gutter system and flow directly into Boxelder Creek.
Sub -basin 2 includes the loading dock area. The 10-year and 100-year runoff for
■ this basin were determined to be 2.2 cfs and 4.4 cfs, respectively. To drain the
loading dock pit and pass the runoff through the water quality capture pond, an
area inlet was placed in a sump at the base of the loading dock and connected to
. a pipe running to the pond. The roof drains along this section of the building can

• outlet onto the dock ramp which will then carry the flow the area inlet. The area
inlet needs to handle the 100-year flows since flow over topping the gutters along
this section of the building will still run down the ramp to the loading dock. For
the grate selected, with 2.2 sf opening and 1 ft head, capacity is 5.3 cfs. The inlet
is connected to a 15" pipe running into the water quality pond.
The stormdrain pipe from the area inlet was designed to carry the 10- ear flow
PP g riY Y
from Sub -basin 1, 1.1 cfs, combined with the 100-year runoff from Sub -basin 2,
4.4 cfs, for a total of 5.4 cfs. With a slope of 1 %, a 15" pipe will carry the
discharge under gravity flow.
Flow from Sub -basin 3 will overland flow to the parking lot, then be conveyed by
curb and gutter to a curb cut in the southwest corner of the parking lot. The 10-
year discharge was computed to be 8.1 cfs. Using the weir formula and a
maximum depth of 6", an 8 ft. long curb cut is required to pass the 10-year flow.
The curb cut outfalls to a swale which runs down into the water quality capture
pond. The 100-year flow for this sub -basin of 16.3 cfs will overtop the curb
along the west side of the parking lot and flow directly into Boxelder Creek.
The property fronts onto the I-25 Frontage Road. Curb and gutter will be
constructed along the property frontage. Sub -basin 4 will flow along the proposed
curb and gutter. The 10-year flow was determined to be 4.3 cfs which is also the
gutter capacity at 0.4 % slope under a minor event (see calculations in Appendix
A). The 100-year runoff was computed to be 8.6 cfs. The curb and gutter ends
at the water quality pond where the flow will enter a swale which outfalls into the
pond.
Sub -basin 5 encompasses the water quality capture pond and a small section of the
frontage road. The 10-year and 100-year runoff generated by this basin are 1.1 cfs
and 2.4 cfs, respectively. Without accounting for the minor effect that lagging the
runoff from the individual basins would have on the peak discharge entering the
water quality pond, the total 100-year discharge passing through the pond from the
site is 32.5 cfs. For a maximum depth of 6" over the overflow weir exiting the
water quality pond, a 32 ft. wide weir is needed.
The 100-yr historic runoff was computed to be 7.7 cfs. entering Boxelder Creek
from this site. Because of the sites proximity to Boxelder Creek, the peak
discharge from the developed site will enter Boxelder Creek and pass downstream
long before the 100-year flood peak reaches the site. Therefore, the development
of this site will not impact the 100-year floodplain of Boxelder Creek; thus,
detention is not necessary. Included in the Appendix of this report is a copy of the
flood hydrograph for Boxelder Creek at a point approximately 1/2 mile upstream
from this site as generated by Simon, Li, & Associates, 1981.
I!
C. Boxelder Creek Floodplain
Boxelder Creek borders the west side of the Interstate Land First Filing. A study
performed by Simons, Li & Associates, Inc., 1981, (SLA 1981) was used as the
basis for the current Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FEMA FIRM) for this reach of Boxelder Creek.
CA Existing Floodplain/Floodway
The original study by SLA 1981 did not determine the bounds of the 100
year floodway along this section of Boxelder Creek. It appears the
floodway was not determined downstream of the Boxelder Creek/Interstate
25 crossing, which is just upstream from this site, because flow patterns are
complicated by inflow from irrigation ditches immediately west of I-25 and
split flows and cross -over flows from the Cooper Slough are encountered
south of Prospect Road. However; the portion of Boxelder Creek which
borders the proposed project is below the irrigation ditches and north of
Prospect Road. It was determined, in a meeting with the City of Fort
Collins Stormwater Utility, the floodway was definable for this portion of
Boxelder Creek. Since no computer files of the original study were known
to exist, the model had to be recreated and verified against a hard copy
secured by RBD, Inc., before floodway computations could be performed.
At the time of preliminary P&Z approval for the Interstate Land ODP, a
HEC-II model which consisted of cross -sections 11 through 18 of the SLA
1981 study was generated and analysis results checked against the original
study. Once consistent results were obtained, Method 4 of the floodway
encroachment routines was used with a target maximum increase in water
surface elevation of 0.5 ft. Included in the appendix of the Preliminary
Drainage and Erosion Control report for the Interstate Land Development
are the results of this study including floodway encroachment computations.
Cross sections 16 & 17 of the above study were used to delineate the extent
of the floodplain through the Interstate Land First Filing. The extent of the
FEMA Floodplain and the Base Flood Elevation for Cross- section 17 are
shown of the Drainage and Erosion Control plan included with this report.
C.2 Future Condition Floodplain
As part of the flood study of Boxelder Creek for the Interstate Land
ODP/Preliminary, the affect on the base flood elevations, resulting from
possible improvements to the structure carrying Boxelder Creek under I-25,
was investigated. The floodplain elevation at the same FEMA Cross-
section 17, under future conditions, was determined to be 4908.5. The
5
a(
0
Ll
minimum building finished floor elevation in the Interstate Land First
Filing is set at 4912.4, which is greater than 18" above the anticipated
maximum flood elevation.
V. STORM WATER QUALITY
A. General Concept
Beginning in October 1992, the water quality of storm water runoff was required
to be addressed on all final design utility plans. Since the construction of the
Interstate Lands development will begin after October 1992, we have sought to find
various Best Management Practices for the treatment of storm water runoff. The
Interstate Land P.U.D. First Filing will provide a water quality pond to help
improve the runoff water quality by settling out pollutants before it flows into
Boxelder Creek.
B. Specific Details
The bottom 2 feet of the water quality pond constitute the available Water Quality
Capture Volume. Water within this volume will drain out of the pond over a 40-
hour time frame via the outlet structure. The outlet structure is buried beneath a
gravel filter to further remove pollutants before being released downstream. Water
above the two foot depth outflows over the overflow weir into Boxelder Creek.
During construction, a silt fence will be installed around the perimeter of the pond
to prevent or minimize construction debris from leaving the site.

VI. EROSION CONTROL
A. General Concept
This development lies within the Moderate Rainfall Erodibility Zone and the
Moderate Wind Erodibility Zone per the City of Fort Collins zone maps. It is
anticipated that the project site improvements will be subject to minor erosion
before the building is constructed.
The Erosion Control Performance Standard (PS) after construction for this project
was computed to be 95.9 percent per the criteria in the City of Fort Collins Erosion
Control Reference Manual for Construction Sites. The Effectiveness (EFF) of the
proposed erosion control plan was calculated to be 99.4 percent. Therefore, the
erosion control plan below meets the City of Fort Collins' requirements. A copy
of the calculations has been included in the Appendix. An erosion control escrow
cost estimate of $5,999 is also included in the Erosion Control section of the
Appendix.
All construction activities for this site must comply with the State of Colorado
permitting process for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction
Activity. A Colorado Department of Health NPDES Permit will be required
before any construction grading can begin.
I B. Specific Details
Before commencing overlot grading, silt fence shall be installed along all
downwind and downstream perimeters of the site, as well as surrounding the
proposed water quality capture pond. Access roads, parking lots, and staging yards
that are to be paved as part of this development must have a 1-inch layer of gravel
mulch ('/a-1'/z gravel) applied at a mstru structure shall be appliedlasely soonter
as
overlot grading is completed. The pavement

All disturbed areas not in a roadway, parking lot, or greenbelt area shall have
temporary vegetation seed applied. After seeding, a hay or straw mulch shall be
applied over the seed at a rate of 2 tons/acre minimum, and the mulch shall be
adequately anchored, tacked, or crimped into the soil.
If the disturbed areas will not be built on within one growing season, a permanent
seed shall be applied. After seeding, a hay or straw and themulch shallmulch shall bepadlied over

time after overlot grading, a temporary vegetation seed and mulch shall also be
applied to the roadway areas as discussed above.
VIL CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with Standards
All computations that have been completed within this report are in compliance
with the City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Reference Manual for Construction
Sites and the Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual. In addition, all
computations are in compliance with the Preliminary Drainage and Erosion Control
Report for the Interstate Lands Development, prepared by RBD, Inc.
B. Drainage Concept
The proposed drainage concepts presented in this report and on the construction
plans adequately provide for the transmission of the developed on -site runoff to
Boxelder Creek located on the west edge of the development. The combination of
on -site capacities in the curb and gutter, and the on -site storm sewer system will
provide for the 10-year, and the 100-year developed flows to reach the water
quality pond and Boxelder Creek. Due to localized stormwater runoff reaching
Boxelder Creek long before the peak basin runoff in Boxelder Creek, no onsite
detention of localized stormwater runoff is required for this development.
C. Storm Water Quality Concept
Because storm water quality has become a requirement, the site has addressed this
storm water aspect. A water quality pond will be constructed to help improve the
stormwater runoff quality before it reaches Boxelder Creek.
D. Erosion Control Concept
The proposed erosion control concepts adequately provide for the control of wind
and rainfall erosion from the site. Through the construction of the proposed
erosion control concepts, the City of Fort Collins performance standard will be
met. All construction activities will comply with the State of Colorado permitting
process for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. A
Colorado Department of Health NPDES Permit will be required before any
construction grading begins.
