Site Plan

Site Soil Conditions

Soil Type: Urban Land – Elnora (UeA) Well drained Elnora soil - permeability of this type of soil is

moderately rapid or rapid. Permeability at 32-60 inches depth: 6-20 in/hour(Source: USDA Soil Survey)

Soil Group: B Percolation Tests:

1480 in/hour 172 in/hour 188 in/hour

Storm Water Management Approach

Use of infiltration basins to control storm water Site and building roof drains to the basins Use of infiltration rate of 20 in/hour Outlet control structure controls outflow of

larger storms Water quality volume designed to infiltrate

Storm Water Management Goals

Reduce storm water flow to combined sewer LEED Sustainable Site Storm Water Design

Credits SS Credit 6.1 Quantity Control

Match the pre and post peak discharge and volume for the one- and two-year, 24-hour design storm

SS Credit 6.2 Quality ControlPromote infiltration and treat storm water runoff from 90% of the average annual rainfall (0.75 inches)

Water Quality Volume

WQv = C * P * A / 12

WQv = Water Quality Volume (acre-feet)C = Runoff CoefficientC = 0.858i3 - 0.78i2 + 0.774i + 0.04P = Precipitation Depth (0.75 inches)A = Contributing Drainage Area (acres)

i = impervious area divided by the total areaAdded additional volume = 20% of the WQv

Utility Plan

Total Drainage Area: 2.5 Ac. - 60% impervious Depth of Basins: 1.5’ – 2’

Storm Water Management Approach

Underground Storage

Pipe Storage Depth limitations

Permeable Pavers Small parking lot area Use base as storage facility LEED Credit SS 7.1 for Heat Island Effect Non-Roof

Permeable Pavers as Extended Detention

Stone Base Used Porosity of 0.33

Sized to Accommodate 100 Year Storm Event Sized to Accommodate Water Quality Volume Drains to Outlet Control Structure WQv drawdown time: 48 hours

Water Quality Volume

WQv = C * P * A / 12

C = 0.8Added additional volume equal to 20% of the WQvWQv=Voids Volume

Volume in base for WQv = Solids Volume + Voids Volume
