Final Drainage Report
for
Spring Creek Center P.U.D.
Fort Collins, Colorado
September 18, 1997
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Obiective
To provide a final drainage scheme for the proposed Spring Creek Center
planned unit development based on master drainageway planning and overall/ preliminary
drainage concepts. Specific objectives as part of this study are:
1. To address the 75 cfs spill from Spring Creek over Timberline Road as
identified in the S rin Creek Master Draina ewa Plan, (Reference 1);
2. To recognize the potential impact of the existing conditions floodplain of
Spring Creek in relation to storm sewers and finished grades;
3. To consider any possible adverse effects downstream of the development
due to developed stormwater.
1.2 Mapping and Surveyine
Topography of the site was provided to Northern Engineering Services by Landstar
Surveying with a contour interval of one (1) foot.
1.3 Site Reconnaissance
A site visit was conducted on August 22, 1997 by the project engineer. Based on the
topographic mapping, existing drainage basins and land use were confirmed as well as existing
structures. The location and dimensions of existing culverts were verified as well as their
condition and flow direction.
II. SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
2.1 SiteLOcatiOn
The site is located within the NW Quarter of Section 20, Township 7 North, Range 68
West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project is bounded by
Timberline Road on the west, East Prospect Road on the north and Midpoint Drive to the
south. (See Vicinity Map).
2.2 Site Description
' Spring Creek Center P.U.D. is approximately 11.600 acres and has historically been
open space. There are no existing structures on the site.

III. HISTORIC DRAINAGE BASIN
3.1 Mjor Basin Identification
The site is located in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin. Reference 1 has been used as a
guide in the development of the drainage and grading for the site.
3.2 Historic Drainage Patterns
The site historically drains from west to east at slopes ranging from 0.57 to 2.64%.
The majority of the site has historically drained to the east through developed properties and to
the existing W•W• Reynolds detention pond.
Historic runoff from the site, discharging to the east, has been defined at Design
Point's H1 and H2 (see Section A). The 100-year discharge at Design Point's H1 and H2 are
15.4 and 4.6 cfs respectively for a total of 20.0 cfs. There is no off -site runoff entering the
site.
IV. DEVELOPED DRAINAGE

• commercial buildings and possible gas stations,
• utilities including storm and sanitary sewers and water.
Off -site easements for drainage and grading are not required for this development.

has been taken from IDF curves and equations generated specifically for the Spring Creek
Center P.U.D. site by the computer program "Watershed Modeling" by Eagle Point (see
Section B). Input of precipitation amounts for the intensity equations have been taken from the
NOAA Atlas 2, Volume III - Colorado. Compared to Figure 3-1 in the SDDCM, rainfall
intensities generated for the site were comparable to intensities given in Figure 3-1.
4.4 Hydraulic Criteria
The City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria has been referenced for all
hydraulic analyses. In addition, the following computer programs have been utilized:
• The computer program "HY8" by the U.S. Department of Transportation,
Federal Highway Administration has been used to size all culverts;
• The computer program "UDINLET" has been used to analyze inlet capacities;
• The computer program "Flowmaster" has been used to analyze the capacity of
proposed swales.
The hydraulic analysis of the 75 cfs spill across Timberline Road has been developed
through the use of the HEC-2 computer model with the split flow option.
4.5 Drainase Concept
Detention is not a requirement for the proposed development due to the proximity of
the site to Spring Creek. Detention will be provided however, at the east end of the site, in
order not to exceed historic rates. The total 100-year developed release rate from the site,
which drains to the east, of 19.93 cfs (Pond 1 (7.43 cfs) and Design Point's 1 (7.0 cfs) and 13
(5.5cfs)) will not exceed the historic rate of 20.0 cfs (Design Point's H1 and 112).
The remainder of the site will drain to Spring Creek undetained through four storm
sewer systems (Storm Sewer Line's 7,8,10 and 14). Emergency overflows have been provided
in the event that on -site area inlets become clogged (see Drainage Plan for location of spill
points). The overflows route on -site spills to the northeast corner of the site in the vicinity of
Inlet 7 where an emergency overflow weir has been provided. Ample freeboard has been
provided to finished floor elevations of buildings adjacent to ponding locations.
4.6 75 cfs mill from Sprinir Creek
In light of the recent flooding of Spring Creek on July 28, 1997, the spill over
Timberline Road has received serious consideration. The proposed site is in the direct path of
the spill which occurs, according to the field survey information, at the intersection of
Timberline Road and Midpoint Drive.
The computer model HEC-2 was used to model both the existing (EC-SPLT.DAT) and
proposed (PC-SPLT.DAT) spill over Timberline.
Based on the existing conditions model, it appears that nearly all of the 75 cfs spilled
over Timberline is conveyed through the proposed Spring Creek Center site (see Section H).
An unknown amount of water is conveyed back to Spring Creek via the existing swale located
