INTRODUCTION
The proposed Heritage Park Apartments Improvement Project is located within the Northeast Quarter of
Section 22, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County
of Larimer, Colorado. The site is bound by:
· North: Existing Multifamily Development
· East: S Shields Street
· South: W Stuart Street
· West: Existing Multifamily Development
A vicinity map is provided below.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The site is approximately 16.29 acres and is an existing multifamily development previously known as
“Northwood Apartments” per the approved drainage plan dated 7/11/75. The proposed site improvements
include six additional dwelling unit buildings with associated driveways and landscape improvements, as
well as building and sidewalk additions to the clubhouse under separate permit and submittal.
EXISTING SITE INFORMATION
The Site is located within the Spring Creek Basin. Existing floodplain boundaries were provided by the City
of Fort Collins and are denoted on the proposed drainage map referenced in Appendix B. The Master Plan
for this basin is currently planned to be updated in 2022, according to the City of Fort Collins website.

Portions of this property are in the city-designated Canal Importation floodplain and floodway. The FEMA
FIRM Panel is 08069C0978G dated 5/2/2012. The Canal Importation Basin Master Drainage Plan Hydraulic
Evaluation and Mapping Update dated 7/22/14. The Flooding Solutions Map indicates that there are no
current upgrades to storm infrastructure near the site. No flooding, water quality, nor Master Plan
improvements are recommended within the vicinity of the Site. A proposed linear bioretention and modified
detention pond system is located within the existing floodplain. The remaining proposed buildings and
scope of site improvements are outside of the 100-year floodplain. No work is proposed within the existing
floodway.
The soil on the site is primarily Altvan-Satana Loam and Caruso Clay Loam, which are classified as
Hydrologic Soil Group B and D, respectively. The soil Classification Map can be found in Appendix A. This
Site is a part of the Spring Creek Master Drainage Plan, which is currently under revision and has not been
referenced in this design. The existing site is utilized as a multifamily development with associated
buildings, parking, and landscape areas.
HISTORIC DRAINAGE
The existing Site varies with slopes ranging from 1.5% to 35%. There is currently an onsite detention basin
in the northeast section of the property. The Site is split into five sub basins, A-1 to A-5, based on the
existing drainage map included in Appendix B. Basins A-2, A-3, and A-4 generally slope to the northeast
and are conveyed to the existing detention basin within Basin A-4. The flows within the detention basin are
then released into the existing storm infrastructure system along S Shields Street. Basins A-1 and A-5 are
conveyed south via sheet flow, and collected by existing inlets along W Stuart Street, that convey flows to
the existing storm system along S Shields Street.
The site is located within City of Fort Collins Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood
Insurance Rate Map Number 08069C0978G and the property being developed is designated as an area
outside of the 100-year floodplain. The updated FEMA maps is included in Appendix A.
Per the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map and City of Fort Collins Problem Identification Map, the Site is
not within a 100-year floodplain and therefore additional analysis and permitting will not be required.
DESIGN CRITERIA
The City of Fort Collins “Stormwater Criteria Manual, December 2018 Edition,” (Criteria Manual), the “Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual” Volumes 1, 2, and 3 (Drainage
Manual), with latest revisions, and the “City of Fort Collins Low Impact Development Implementation
Manual, July 2017 Edition” (LID Manual) were used to prepare the storm calculations. Weighted impervious
values were calculated and used for the site area in accordance with the Criteria Manual and Drainage
Manual.
This Site is a part of the Spring Creek Master Drainage Plan, which is currently under revision. Existing
storm sewer infrastructure is present on the Site. An existing detention pond is present on the northeast
corner of the site.
Hydrologic Criteria
The 2-year and 100-year storm event were evaluated for this Site. Rainfall intensity values provided in the
Criteria Manual were utilized for the analysis. Impervious values for pavement, roof, and landscape area

were taken from the Criteria Manual. Runoff coefficients were calculated per the Criteria Manual. The
Rational Method was utilized to calculate the peak runoff values for the minor and major storm event.
Peak runoff values were calculated for the existing and proposed conditions of the Site. Allowable release
rates during the 100-year storm event are limited to the 2-year historic release rate, or less, as noted in the
applicable Master Drainage Plan for the Canal Importation Drainage Basin. The required minimum
detention volume and maximum release rate for the developed condition 100-year recurrence interval storm
was determined in accordance with the conditions and regulations established in the Master Drainage Plan
and in accordance with the standards noted in the Criteria Manual.
Topographic survey of the Site was utilized to delineate existing sub-basins for the Site. An Existing
Drainage Map is provided in Appendix B and all hydrologic calculations are provided in Appendix C.
Existing sub-basins were maintained for the proposed condition, as shown in the Proposed Drainage Map
included in Appendix B. Peak runoff values for the proposed sub-basins were calculated using the Rational
Method. Hydrologic calculations are provided in Appendix C.
Hydraulic Criteria
Water Quality Capture Volumes for sub-basins A, B, C, and D were calculated per the methods described
in the Criteria Manual. The Modified FAA Method, as described in the Criteria Manual, was utilized to
calculate the required detention volume for the Site in the proposed conditions. Water quality and detention
calculations are provided in Appendix D.
This Final Drainage Report includes the following hydraulic calculations: inlet calculations; pipe capacity
calculations utilizing Bentley FlowMaster. All hydraulic calculations are included in Appendix D.
DRAINAGE PLAN
GENERAL CONCEPT
The Site in the proposed conditions was divided into seven major onsite sub-basins which are described in
greater detail in the following section. The sub basin boundaries were maintained from the existing drainage
map.
SPECIFIC DETAILS
Runoff generated by four of the on-site basins (sub-basins A-2, A-3, A-4, and A-6 - 10.19 acres of the total
16.29 acres – 63% of the Site) will be routed to the onsite detention pond. Runoff generated by the
remaining sub-basins (sub-basin A-1 and A-5 – 6.10 acres of the total 16.29 acres – 37% of the Site) will
follow historic drainage patterns and be routed to the existing storm infrastructure system along W Stuart
Street. Discharge rates for sub-basins A-1 and A-5 are accounted for in the pipe sizing calculations provided
in Appendix D. The Proposed Drainage Map included in Appendix B shows the onsite sub-basins and
each basin is described in further detail below. Table 2 summarizes the tributary areas, impervious areas,
imperviousness, and peak flows from each sub-basin. Full calculations are included in Appendix C.
Sub-basin A-1
Sub-basin A-1 is 3.70 acres and consists of on-site parking, sidewalk, drive aisles, existing buildings, a
portion of the clubhouse building improvement that is being permitted separately, and landscape areas.
Flows are conveyed south via sheet flow to the existing inlet along the north side of W Stuart Street. The
Preliminary Drainage Report

basin has an imperviousness of 60.7% in the existing condition and is increased to 60.8% in the proposed
condition with 26.23 cfs in flows for the 100-year storm.
Sub-basin A-2
Sub-basin A-2 is 2.81 acres and consists of on-site parking, sidewalk, drive aisles, existing apartment
buildings, proposed apartment buildings, a portion of the clubhouse building improvement that is being
permitted separately, and landscape areas. Flows are conveyed northeast via sheet flow to the existing
inlet along the north side of Heritage circle, where they are routed through an existing storm pipe to the
existing onsite detention pond. The basin has an imperviousness of 42.4% in the existing condition and is
increased to 81.9% in the proposed condition with 26.36 cfs in flows for the 100-year storm.
Sub-basin A-3
Sub-basin A-3 is 1.75 acres and consists of on-site parking, sidewalk, drive aisles, existing apartment
buildings, and landscape areas. Flows are conveyed east via sheet flow to the existing inlet in the parking
area within the basin, where they are routed through an existing storm pipe to the existing onsite detention
pond. No improvements are proposed within basin A-3 so the runoff and imperviousness for the basin
remain unchanged in the proposed condition. The basin has an imperviousness of 62.4% in the existing
and proposed condition with 11.68 cfs in flows for the 100-year storm.
Sub-basin A-4
Sub-basin A-4 is 3.45 acres and consists of existing apartment buildings, concrete recreation areas,
landscape areas, and the existing onsite detention pond. Flows are conveyed east via sheet flow to the
existing detention pond scheduled to be improved with this development. Improvements to the existing
detention pond include increased capacity, proposed 6” perforated underdrain, proposed Type L 12” riprap,
proposed concrete trickle channel, and proposed connection to the existing storm sewer network along S
Shields Street. The basin has an imperviousness of 7.1% in the existing condition and is increased to 7.8%
in the proposed condition with 7.50 cfs in flows for the 100-year storm.
Sub-basin A-5
Sub-basin A-5 is 2.40 acres and consists of on-site parking, sidewalk, drive aisles, existing apartment
buildings, proposed apartment buildings, and landscape areas. Flows are conveyed south via sheet flow to
the existing inlet in the southern parking area, where they are routed through an existing storm pipe to the
existing storm system along S Shields Street. The basin has an imperviousness of 60.2% in the existing
condition and is increased to 68.7% in the proposed condition with 18.55 cfs in flows for the 100-year storm.
Sub-basin A-6
Sub-basin A-6 is 2.18 acres and consists of on-site parking, sidewalk, drive aisles, existing apartment
buildings, and landscape areas. Flows are conveyed northeast via sheet flow to the proposed curb cut
along the north side of Heritage circle, where they are routed through a proposed 6” perforated underdrain
to the existing onsite detention pond. No improvements are proposed within basin A-6 so the runoff and
imperviousness for the basin remain unchanged in the proposed condition. The basin has an
imperviousness of 50.5% in the existing and proposed condition with 11.24 cfs in flows for the 100-year
storm.

Existing Detention Pond
There is an existing detention pond in the northeast corner of the site placed to detain site flows from the
100-year storm event to the 2-year historic release rate. The existing detention pond has capacity to hold
0.767 acre-ft. The proposed site improvements require a 100-year storage volume of 1.088 acre-feet. Since
the existing detention pond does not have capacity for the increase in flows, improvements are proposed
to increase the storage volume of the detention pond. The proposed pond improvements will increase the
storage capacity of the pond to 1.089 acre-feet at the 100-year water surface elevation. A proposed
concrete trickle channel, outlet structure, and 10” PVC storm sewer tie-in connection to the existing storm
sewer in S Shields Avenue have been added to maintain historic flood rates. Additionally, a restrictor plate
will be added to the proposed outlet structure to maintain historic flow rates and provide a 40 hour drain
time for the detention pond. Runoff from sub-basins A-2, A-3, A-4, and A-6 will be routed via sheet flow and
existing storm sewer infrastructure to enter the proposed linear bioretention system and are conveyed to
the modified detention pond system before being released into the existing public storm sewer that outfalls
to Spring Creek. The proposed detention pond improvements are designed for water quality per Section
6.5 (Linear Bioretention - Low Impact Development) of Chapter 7 of the Fort Collins. Reference to the
criteria used for design of the linear bioretention system can be found in Appendix E.

A 2-foot-wide concrete V trickle channel conveys flows at 1.0% slope from the inflow points to the outlet
structure. The trickle channel flows to the existing outlet pipe with the proposed restrictor plate. A restrictor
plate over the outlet pipe (15-inch RCP) is required to ensure the 100-year release rate is met.
Storm Sewer Conveyance
No new storm sewer infrastructure is proposed with the site improvements. The existing storm pipes
conveying flows to the existing storm system along S Shields Street have capacity for the increase in flow,
except for the pipe conveying flows from basin A-5 to the greater system. Based on the existing drainage
map for “Northwood Apartments”, the pipe was sized to convey flows from the 50-year storm. In the
proposed condition, the pipe does not have capacity for the 0.48 cfs flow increase in the minor storm, so
the existing 10” VCP storm pipe is proposed to be upsized to a 15” RCP storm pipe to handle the increase
in flows. All existing storm pipes to remain are sized to handle the increase in flows, apart from A-5. Pipe
Sizing calculations are provided in Appendix D.
Inlet Capacity
The capacity of each affected existing inlet was evaluated to determine the maximum ponding depth to
convey the 100-year storm event. The results of the capacity analysis indicate that two of the affected inlets

do not have capacity for the increase in flows, and the remaining inlet has capacity for the minor storm flow
increase.
Flows are conveyed from Sub-basin A-1 and OS-1 to the existing 5’ Type R inlet along the north edge of
W Stuart Street. Based on calculations, the existing inlet does not have capacity to handle the flows from
the major or minor storm in the proposed and the existing condition. To handle the existing and proposed
condition, the existing inlet will need to be improved in the final drainage report and construction documents
to be (4) 5’ Type R inlets.
Flows are conveyed from Sub-basin A-2 to the existing 5’ Type R inlet along the north side of Heritage
Circle. Based on the existing drainage map for “Northwood Apartments”, the inlet was sized to convey flows
from the major and minor storm. In the proposed condition, the inlet has capacity for the flow increase in
the minor storm. During the major storm event, flows that spill over the existing inlet will flow into the existing
detention pond.
Flows are conveyed from Sub-basin A-5 to the existing 5’ Type R inlet along the southern parking area.
Based on the existing drainage map for “Northwood Apartments”, the inlet was sized to convey flows from
the major and minor storm. Based on calculations, the existing inlet does not have capacity to handle the
flows from the major or minor storm in the proposed and the existing condition. The inlet will need to be
improved in order to handle current condition flows as well as proposed. To handle the existing and
proposed condition, the existing inlet will need to be improved in the final drainage report and construction
documents to be (2) 5’ Type R inlets.
Low Impact Development (LID) and Water Quality
The site was divided into five onsite sub-basins which are described in greater detail in the sections above.
BMPs were selected utilizing the four-step process outlined in Volume 3, Chapter 1, Section 4 of the
Drainage Manual:
1. Employ runoff reduction practices - The redevelopment on an existing multi-family site provides
limited opportunities to employ runoff reduction practices. Site has been developed to install
landscaping wherever pavement (or building) is not required.
2. Implement BMPs that provide a water quality capture volume with a slow release – the site will be
treated with a linear bioretention system.
3. Stabilize streams – Not applicable.
4. Implement site specific and other source control BMPs – No trash collection or enclosed areas are
proposed within proximity to storm drainage or LID facilities. Highly concentrated and polluted
runoff from these areas will have the opportunity to be cleaned prior to runoff into the applicable
storm drains. The site will be surrounded by silt fence to reduce potential for contamination
discharges at the perimeter. Site access will be provided through an area of vehicle tracking control
to reduce tracking of contamination offsite which will be further controlled with street sweeping.
Existing storm sewer will have inlet protection to guard Spring Creek from any contamination.
Stockpiles and staged material during construction will be located away from all storm drainage
facilities.
Runoff generated by a portion of these drainage basins will be conveyed into the proposed linear
bioretention system and conveyed to the modified detention pond system before being released into the
existing public storm sewer that outfalls to Spring Creek. Runoff generated by four of the on-site basins
(sub-basins A-2, A-3, A-4, and A-6 - 10.19 acres of the total 16.29 acres – 63% of the Site) will be routed
to the onsite detention pond. The overall imperviousness area for the site will increase 1.52 acres from the
Preliminary Drainage Report
Heritage Park Apartments – Fort Collins, Colorado
9
existing to proposed condition. 1.31 acres or 86% of the additional imperviousness area for the site will be
routed to the proposed bioretention system and conveyed to the modified detention pond system.
Reference to the criteria used for design of the linear bioretention system can be found in Appendix E.
Overall imperviousness of the site will increase from 43.8% to 53.1%. 55% of the imperviousness will be
treated for water quality by the proposed linear bioretention pond. The remaining runoff from sub-basins A-
1 and A-5 will follow historic drainage patterns and enter the existing public storm sewer that outfalls to
Spring Creek. The proposed pond improvements are designed for water quality per Section 6.5 (Linear
Bioretention - Low Impact Development) of Chapter 7 of the Fort Collins. The proposed pond improvements
have low longitudinal slopes and broad cross-sections that convey flow in a slow and shallow manner,
thereby facilitating sedimentation and filtering while limiting erosion. Additionally, Type L 12” riprap is
included with the proposed pond improvements to reduce velocities and improve both suspended particle
settling and infiltration. Stormwater Criteria Manual (Water Quality) Table 6 summarizes the pond bottom
elevation, water surface elevation, and spillway elevation. Detention pond and outlet structure calculations
are provided in Appendix D.
VARIANCE REQUESTS
No variances are being requested.
CONCLUSIONS
COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
The Mulberry Connection project is in compliance with City of Fort Collins criteria for storm drainage design.
The “Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual, December 2018 Edition,” and the Urban Drainage Flood
Control District “Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volumes 1, 2, and 3 have been utilized for
reference.
SUMMARY OF CONCEPT
The proposed drainage concept is maintaining historic drainage patterns and provide improvements to the
existing drainage pond and storm pipe. Improvements to the existing detention pond are proposed to detain
the on-site 100-year runoff volume to the 2-year historic on-site flow. Allowable release rates are designed
based on the existing condition in accordance the Master Drainage Plan and standards noted in the Criteria
Manual. Downstream impacts due to the development of this Site are not anticipated.

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
Custom Soil Resource Report

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.

APPENDIX E
3.4
Bioretention
Bioretention areas (often called Rain Gardens) are depressed
landscape features that are designed to collect and
treat stormwater. These areas can be linear or free form
depending on the site context. Bioretention areas primarily
treat stormwater by filtering sediment as the water travels
downward through the soil, but it is also a living system
where plants and micro-organisms maintain the soil structure
and break down dissolved pollutants.
COST AND BENEFIT CONSIDERATIONS
MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
• May be used to meet landscape requirements.
• Accept concentrated flow sources.
• Flexibility in size and shape (linear or basin)
make this a popular BMP.
• Can be combined with underground infiltration
BMPs for maximizing performance in a small
footprint.
• In dry weather bioretention can serve other uses
such as open space.
• Sometimes used to buffer pedestrian and
cyclists from roadways.
• Easier to observe and access for maintenance
than underground BMPs.
• Smaller cells may require more frequent
maintenance and sediment removal.
• Consider maintenance practices when
specifying mulchs. Floatable materials are
not allowed.
• BMPs that are used for snow storage or
receive flow from sanded areas require more
frequent sediment removal.
• Size forebay accordingly to maintenance
frequency and adjacent context.
• When adjacent to parking and sidewalks
provide a flat level step out zone for
pedestrian comfort next to the graded slope
or wall.
• Group plantings of similar needs or type to
simplify maintenance.
• Choose plants to fit conditions e.g. low plants
along parking.
• Keep inlets clear of vegetation.Presettling forebay example at Library Park
Section Three: LID BMP Fact Sheet 3.5City of Fort Collins | LID Implementation ManualPrecedent Projects
• North College Market Place
• Woodward Commercial Development
• Plan and delineate bioretention areas prior
to site disturbance to protect subgrade from
construction-related compaction.
• Plants will likely require permanent irrigation.
• Protect finished BMPs from construction
sediment, including during landscape
installation.
• During establishment protect BMPs from
washout.
• Avoid geotextile wrapping of underdrain pipes.
• Provide adequately-sized and armored-
overflow for high flow conditions.
• Ensure that rock and plant material placed
near inlets do not block flow.
CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
• For concentrated flow applications, armor inlets
against scour.
• Scale the depth of drop from walking areas to
the top of bioretention according to the site
use and aesthetics, generally <18”.
• Check dams provide ponding depth and slow
velocities for linear bioretention.
• Consider size, location and material of inlet
pipes and overflow structures and how they
affect aesthetics and impact to impervious area
footprint.
• In the right-of-way, street tree requirements
must be met. Trees are to be located outside of
bioretention and positioned adequate distance
from curb and sidewalk. Consider placing
bioretention between street trees.
• Use landscape areas / islands to encourage
multiple uses of space.
• Use plantings that are appropriate for the site.
Native plants are encouraged.
• Public right-of-way may not be used to meet LID
requirements for private property development.
• Developer-installed bioretention areas shall be
maintained by the developer.
• For public projects maintenance responsibility
shall be determined during the design phase.

6.5 Linear Bioretention
Linear bioretention has low longitudinal slopes and broad cross-sections that convey flow in a slow and
shallow manner, thereby facilitating sedimentation and filtering (straining) while limiting erosion. Berms
or check dams may be incorporated into the facility to reduce velocities and encourage settling and
infiltration. When using berms, an underdrain system should be provided. Linear bioretention is an
integral part of the LID concept and may be used as an alternative to a curb and gutter system.
Design and construction detailing for linear bioretention systems are presented in the LID
Implementation Manual in Appendix C. Included below are some additional design parameters that are
specific to the City of Fort Collins.
