I.Water Quality and Quantity Detention Basin Certification - FCSCM Vol.2, Ch.10
For multiple detention basins on a site, provide the following for each basin separately:
A. Volume: As-built topographic verification is attached at 1-foot (or less) contour intervals and
volume verification calculations for the water quality capture volume and the 100-year detention storage
volume.
1. Detention basin topography was prepared by a professional land surveyor registered in the state
of Colorado.
2.Both proposed and as-built contours are shown on the same plan sheet (dashed lines for
proposed and solid lines for as-built).
3.All critical spot elevations as shown on the approved construction plans have been verified and
the as-built elevations are shown on the plan sheet.
4.Stage-storage-discharge tables are provided on a separate document.
5.Verification that designed drain time is in compliance with Colorado Revised Statute § 37-92-
602(8) is attached and has been uploaded to the Statewide Compliance Portal

Accepted 1/6/2020 WL
12/15 Page 2
B.Water Quality and Quantity Detention Basin Grading: Attached is as-built verification that there is
a minimum 2% positive fall into the concrete trickle pans or flow-line(s) from all areas in the bottom of
the detention pond. If there is a “soft pan” in the flow-line, all areas still must meet the minimum 2%
grade requirement.
1.Low Flow: Choose one of the following detention basin low flow options as applicable:
a. Turf swale for low flow path in detention basin.
There is a minimum 2% grade in the flow-line(s) of the detention basin. The flattest as-built grade
is .
b.Concrete pan for low flow in detention basin.
There is a concrete pan installed that meets the grades as shown on the approved construction
plans. (Show as-built spot elevations.)
c.Soft pan for low flow in detention basin.
•Verify and document the soft pan material gradation, trench width and depth - to be verified
during construction by engineer. Picture documentation is preferred or engineer’s statement of
visual inspection and compliance. (Choose one below.)
o There is a soft pan with an underdrain installed that meets the design on the approved
construction plans. (Show the underdrain grades, bedding material, geotextile, spot elevations,
bends, cleanouts, etc.)
o There is soft pan installed without an underdrain but there is a type A or B soil. The soil
type must be documented by supplying verification from a registered professional geotechnical
engineer.
NOTE: Spot elevations are to be within 0.2 ft. +/-.
2. Side Slopes: The as-built side slopes of the detention basin have been calculated and are shown.
Indicate the side slope with an arrow and a numerical value (e.g., 6.25:1). The maximum slope allowed
is 4:1. Small areas of 3:1 may be acceptable, but slopes steeper than 3:1 must be stabilized or re-
graded. Provide documentation if a variance was granted for steeper slopes during the design process.
3.Spillway Certification: The following items must be field verified:

riprap with inches of bury, etc.).
f.There are no obstructions in the spillway, such as trees, bushes, sidewalks, landscape
features, rocks, etc.

D-46)
g.Overflow grate is made of the correct material, has the correct bar spacing, is hinged at the
top and bolted at the bottom.

runoff water and is sloped at 2% towards outlet.
II.Channels/Swales - FCSCM Vol.1, Ch.7, Sect.3&4

construction plans or as identified in the approved drainage study. (Show the freeboard provided on
the cross-sections as on the construction plan set or attached as separate documentation.)
7.The low flow portion of all channels or swales is clear of obstructions. (No landscaping, trees,
shrubs, sod, etc. infringe on the low flow portion of channels or swales.)
