below the lowest Finished Floor Elevation (5083.00).
3. Sub -Basin `OS-l', as identified on the Offsite Drainage Exhibit is comprised of
3.50 acres. The peak runoff rate during the 2-year storm is 3.28 c.f.s., the 10-year
storm is 6.65 c.f.s. and the 100-year storm is 13.78 c.f.s.
a. Rainfall from this basin will be conveyed in a swale located along the
western property line to the existing drainage swale located along the
northern boundary of the site.
b. A storm drainage pipe that originates on the western side of U.S.
Highway 287 that discharges into the drainage system constructed as a
part of the drainage facilities for the initial Whitman Storage Facility.
According to "City of Fort Collins Stone Creek Basin Hydrology Update"
dated July 2008, the 100-year peak flow rate of 47 c.f.s. has been
considered to discharge to the swale along the northern border of the site.
c. The combined 100-year flow rate for the 36 pipe and swale system
along the northern border is approximately 87.4 c.f.s. (26.6 c.f s. from
Whitman Storage Facility, 118 c.f.s. from Sub -Basin `OS-1' plus 47 c.f.s.
from the existing Stone Creek Basin pipe).
d. The surface flow will be combined with flow from the existing pipe
and be directed into the existing swale running eastward to the property
line where it discharges into the natural drainage channel.
V. Erosion Control:
A. General Concept
1. Temporary erosion control measures will be implemented during the
construction of this project. These measures will include:
a. Silt fence along the east, and south property lines.
b. Wattle Inlet Protection installed around the proposed outlet structure.
2. Long term erosion control measures will be implemented after the
construction of this project. These measures will include:
a. Landscape planting and seeding.
b. Surface treatments for drives and open storage area.
c. Rip rap lining the area surrounding the outlet pipe.
3. Maintenance of all erosion control devices will remain the responsibility of
the developer until the completion of the project.
4. Wind erosion measures, other than watering down of the site during
construction, have been neglected due to the relatively small size of the site..
5. Water quality measures will be provided by installing a Gravel Basin at each
detention facility and detaining the Excess Urban Runoff Volume for 72 hours.
VL Conclusions:
A. Compliance with Standards
1. All drainage design conforms to the criteria and requirements of the City of
Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria and Construction Standards.
2. Proposed drainage improvements generally conform to the concepts and
recommendations of the City of Fort Collins Master Drainage Plan.
3. Proposed erosion control measures conform to the recommendations of City of
Fort Collins standards and generally accepted erosion control procedures.
4. Proposed water quality measures will be provided to remove sediment from
the flow discharged from the two detention facilities.
B. Drainage Concept
1. The final drainage design for the Whitman Storage Facility His. effective for
the control of storm water runoff with little or no effect on the City of Fort Collins
Master Drainage Plan recommendations.
2. The lowest Finished Floor Elevation (5083.00 feet), is more than 18-inches
above the computed 100-year Water Surface Elevation of 4967.80 feet in the
northern storm water detention facility to be constructed on site and the computed
100-year Water Surface Elevation of 4964.80 in the southern storm water
detention facility to be constructed on the site.
3. Emergency overflow beyond the limits of the 100-year High Water Elevation
Will spill offsite to natural drainage courses.
4. With the implementation of the proposed detention facilities and controlled
release rates, the development of this site will not result in an increase of runoff
compared to the historic rates. The total released runoff during the 100-year
storm events will equal the 100-year historic release rate as prescribed by the City
of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria and Construction Standards.

I. General Location and Description:
A. Location
1. The proposed Whitman Storage Facility H is located in the Southwest Quarter
of Section 12, Township 6 North, Range 69 West of the 6' P.M. in the City of Fort
Collins, Larimer County, Colorado.
2. The site is more specifically located south of Skyway Drive and east of South
College Avenue. (Refer to the included Vicinity Map.)
3, The Whitman Storage Facility borders the site along its north boundary. To the
west of the site lies commercial properties and US Highway 287. The Discovery
Montessori School is located directly to the east. Immediately south of the site is
undeveloped Cherelyn Street and the Prairie Dog Meadows Natural Area to the
south of .
B. Description of property
1. The Whitman Storage Facility II - R D. P. site consists of approximately 3.21
acres and is undeveloped.
2. The existing ground cover consists mainly of sparse non -irrigated grasses and
native vegetation.
3. The "Soil Survey of Larimer County Area, Colorado" prepared by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, indicates that the surface
soils consist of"Midway clay loam." The soil typical of this series is described as
a shallow, well -drained soil that formed in material from clay shale. The "Soil
Survey" identifies the runoff potential as rapid, and the hazard of erosion as
severe. The soil type is classified in the `D' hydrologic group.
4. The site is generally considered moderate, with slopes between 3% and 6%.
5. The Whitman Storage Facility II - R D. P. will involve the construction of an
outdoor storage area. The proposed outdoor storage area is to be approximately
2.59 acres.
IL Drainage Basins and Sub -basins:
A. Major Basin Description
1. The subject area is located on Lot 3, Block 1 of the Lynn Acres Subdivision.
2. The site is located within the Stone Creek sub -basin of the Fossil Creek
Drainage Basin as identified by the City of Fort Collins' Master Drainage Plan.
The site is not located within a designated flood way or flood plain.
B. Sub -basin Description
1. The historic drainage pattern of the property flows from west to east. Runoff is
directed to Stone Creek at the southeast corner of the site.
2. The northern 2.03. acres of the site drains to the northeast corner of the site
where runoff is directed into the northern branch of Stone Creek.
3 The southern 1.18 acres of the site drains to the southeast comer of the site
where runoff is directed into Stone Creek.
III. Drainage Design Criteria:
A. Development Regulations
1. Design criteria from the current City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria
and Constriction Standards, the Urban Storm Drainage Manuals, Volumes I, II,
and III and the Larimer County Urban.Area Street Standards were utilized.
B. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
1 The historic drainage pattern will be affected by the development of the site in
that flow will be concentrated and channelized. The development of this site will
produce more runoff than the historic amount, however, the historical runoff from
the property will be maintained through the use of detention facilities and flow
control devices.
a. Stormwater will be released according to the historic peak flow rate as
established in the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria.
b. The storm water is to be released at controlled rates onto the adjacent
property in the historic drainage way.
2. The drainage impact of this site will not adversely affect streets or utilities.
C. Hydrological Criteria
1. The Rainfall -Intensity -Duration curve for the City of Fort Collins (Larimer
County Area II) was used in conjunction with the Rational Method for
determining peak flows at various concentration points.
2
a. Spreadsheets from the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual were
used to first determine the weighed imperviousness for a contributing sub -
basin, and then to calculate the peak runoff rates. (See the Drainage
Calculation Section of this report.)
b. Table RO-3 from the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual was used
for recommended imperviousness values for various land cover.
c. The hydrological group `D' was used in the Urban Storm Drainage
Criteria Spreadsheets for the on -site soils.
2. The 10-year and 100-year storms were analyzed in the design of the storm
water management infrastructure in accordance with the City of Fort Collins
Storm Drainage Criteria and Construction Standards.
3. The proposed detention facility was sized for the 100-year storm event. The
maximum release rates are based on the Fort Collins Storm Drainage Criteria and
Construction Standards, which prescribes a unit release rate equal to the historic
release rate for the 100-year storm. The release rates were determined by the
U.D.F.C.D. Full Spectrum Method as well as the on -site storage volumes for the
proposed detention facilities.
D. Hydraulic Criteria
1. A stormwater quality structure was designed for the project based upon the
requirements found in Volume III of the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual.
a. Sizing of structures are based on the design figures and spreadsheets
provided in Volume III of the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual.
2. Proposed storm drain pipes onsite are designed using smooth interior wall
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
a_ A Mannings `n' value of 0.013 is to be used for all storm pipe according
to Sec.4.4.2 of the City of Fort Collins Storm Drainage Design Criteria.
3. Recommended Channel Design Roughness Coefficients are per Table MD-1 of
the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume I.
IV. Drainage Facility Design:
A. General Concept
1. During a large rainfall event; storm water will be conveyed to two detention
facilities for the site. The western, southern and eastern edges of the site will be
conveyed in drainage swales around the perimeter of the site and into the two
detention facilities. The open areas located at the northeast and the southeast
comers of the property will be utilized as a stormwater quality/detention facilities
to capture and temporarily store stormwater from the remainder of the site that
otherwise would be routed directly off site.
B. Specific Details - Detention Facility
1. Sub -Basin `A', as identified on the Proposed Drainage Exhibit, comprises
the northern portion of the site that contains 2.03 acres. The peak runoff rate
during the 2-year storm is 1.23 c.f.s., the 10-year storm is 3.118 c.f.s. and the 100-
year peak runoff rate is 7.71 c.f.s.
a. Surface run-off will be conveyed as sheetflow across the gravel drives
and open storage area of this basin and is to be directed to the detention
facility located in the northeast corner of the site. The area will be utilized
as a stormwater quality/detention facility to capture and temporarily store
stormwater that otherwise would be routed directly off site.
b. A proposed drainage swale along the east edge of the site will prevent
runoff from passing off site and will direct flow to the detention facility to
be located at the northeast corner of the site.
c. An 8-inch diameter HDPE storm drain will extend east from the inlet
and discharge into the existing drainage course.,
e. A multi -stage outlet structure will be constructed at the inlet to the
proposed 8-inch diameter HDPE storm drain. The outlet structure will
incorporate a perforated steel orifice plate to allow for a 72-hour drain
time of the WQCV. A steel restrictor plate is to be installed over the outlet
pipe to act as a flow regulator for the detention area during a 100-year
storm event.
f. The 100-year maximum release rate from the detention facility will be
2.03c.f.s. Based on this outflow rate, the detention facility will require
0.13 acre-feet (0.06 acre-feet of storage + 0.07 acre-feet of EURV).
g. Proposed rip rap at the pipe outlet will reduce erosion and scouring
along the side of the ditch.
h. In the event the outlet structure or storm pipe becomes blocked, the
detention area will overflow at the 100-year Water Surface Elevation
through an emergency overflow spillway and discharge to the adjacent
4
drainage course.
i. The 100-year Water Surface Elevation (4967.80) is more than 18-inches
below the lowest Finished Floor Elevation (5083.00).
2. Sub -Basin `B7, as identified on the Proposed Drainage Exhibit, comprises the
southern portion of the site that contains 1.18 acres. The peak runoff fate during
the 2-year storm is 0.66 c.f.s., the 10-year storm is 1.89 c.f.s. and the 100-year
peak runoff rate is 4.80 c.f s.
a. Surface run-off will be conveyed as sheetflow across the gravel drives
and open storage area of this basin and be directed to the Detention
Facility located in the southeast comer of the site.. The open area will be
utilized as a stormwater quality/detention facility to capture and
temporarily store stormwater that otherwise would be routed directly
offsite.
b. Proposed drainage swales along the south and east edges of the site will
prevent runoff from passing offsite and will direct flow to the detention
facility.
c. A proposed 8-inch diameter HDPE storm drain will extend east from
the inlet and discharge into the existing drainage course.
e. A proposed multi -stage outlet structure will be constructed at the inlet
to the proposed 8-inch diameter HDPE storm drain. The outlet structure
will incorporate a perforated steel orifice plate to allow for a 72-hour drain
time of the WQCV. A steel restrictor plate will be installed over the outlet
pipe to act as a flow regulator for the detention area during a 100-year
storm event.
f. The 100-year maximum release rate from the Detention Facility will be
1.18 c.f.s. Based on this outflow rate, the detention facility will require
0.06 acre-feet (0.03 acre-feet of storage + 0.03 acre-feet of EURV).
g. Proposed rip rap at the pipe outlet will reduce erosion and scouring
along the side of the ditch.
h. In the event the outlet structure or storm pipe becomes blocked, the
detention area will overflow at the 100-year Water Surface Elevation
through an emergency overflow spillway and discharge to the natural
drainage course offsite.
i. The 100-year Water Surface Elevation (4964.80) is more than 18-inches
