2  DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ON-SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

2.1  INTRODUCTION

The following guidelines are to be adopted for Residential Development, Industrial and CommercialDevelopments. Where works are proposed to become public assets and handed over to Council, the worksshall be designed in accordance with the Lake Macquarie City Council subdivision and DevelopmentEngineering Guidelines Part 1 Design Specification D5 Stormwater Drainage Design. These guidelines areto be used in conjunction with DCP No.1. Reference is made to the Lower Hunter and Central CoastRegional Environmental Strategy (LMCC REMS) practice notes 1-11. (Authored by Ian Donovan, PeterCoombes and associates).

DCP 1 prescribes a step-wise approach to the application of on-site stormwater management based on thenumber of dwellings (on equivalent tenements).

These plans may be prepared, based on guidelines and practice notes, by a competent designer.

For larger developments, a detailed design is to be prepared and certified by a practicing Civil Engineerbeing a member of the Institute of Engineers (Australia). Certain specialist in-puts may also be requireddepending on the solutions proposed. Eg Geotechnical Engineer, Landscape Architect.

2.2  SITE DISCHARGE INDEX

Ref LH & CC REMS Practice Note 11.

Site Discharge Index (SDI) is defined as the ratio of the impermeable area that drains directly to a drainagesystem (DC) to the total site area (S).

SDI = DC / S

DCP No.1 sets a performance criteria of 0.1 (10%) for the maximum allowable SDI (Practice Note 11explains how to determine the SDI in some detail).

Therefore, 90% of stormwater runoff from any site must be managed through suitably designed stormwatersource controls. These guidelines assist in the design of these controls, porous paving, infiltration devices,water tanks and associated water re-use. The guidelines supplement LHCC REMS Practice notes 1-11.

2.3  GENERAL PRINCIPLES

 All designs should:

•  Consider the local constraints, eg. catchment lie of the land, soil types, geotechnical conditions,adjoining development, available drainage capacity and easements and vegetation.

•  Manage stormwater so that there is no nuisance flows to adjoining properties.

•  Cater for runoff from outside the site and from adjoining properties, ensuring that outside runoffbypasses the onsite detention storage (if applicable). The design shall ensure that no works such as;filling, retaining walls etc. will impede the flow from upstream properties.

•  Conveyance of the 100 year ARI runoff onto and from the site must be considered, with particularregard to the effect on site floor levels and any off site structures downstream.

•  Consultation with Council’s Development Assessment and Compliance Department should be madeto determine design criteria for individual drainage systems and to establish whether Council hascarried out investigations and designs in the vicinity, or has a local management plan.

2.4  GENERAL REQUIREMENTS1. Roof water and site drainage is to be sized in accordance with the Building Code of Australia and

 AS/NZS 3500.3.2.

2.5  DEVICE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

2.5.1  ON-SITE STORMWATER DETENTION (OSD)For residential developments larger than a dual occupancy and for all commercial and industrialdevelopments, Council may require on site detention of stormwater.

2.5.1.1  DETENTION SYSTEMS

 A number of on-site detention systems will be considered by Council. These may include in-ground tanks,aboveground tanks, above ground depressions in driveways or landscaped areas etc. The following listdetails some items that should be considered in design solutions.

In-Ground tanks

•  Ease of access for maintenance and visual inspection shall be a design consideration. Access shallbe available via a lockable grate (min 600 * 600mm). For tanks deeper than 1.2 metres step irons

shall be provided.•  Tanks shall incorporate at least a grate at each end of the tank for ventilation and ease of cleaning.

The preferred location for the grates would be above the inlet and outlets pipes.

•   Any orifice for the control of discharge from the tank shall be screened to prevent blockage of theorifice.

•   A high-level relief overflow pipe shall be provided to cater for flows in the event that the main outletfrom the tank becomes blocked.

•  Tanks are not to store water permanently unless specifically designed for water reuse applications,and having a dedicated detention volume.

 Above Ground Storages in Driveway & Parking Areas

•  Shall not exceed 200mm in depth.

 Above Ground Storages in Landscaped Areas 

•  Generally should not exceed 300mm for storage depth. For detention basins deeper than 300mm, orbasins that also store permanent water, personal safety measures (fencing, low batter slopes etc.)shall be incorporated.

•  Shall be located in areas of high visibility to ensure regular maintenance

•  Shall be designed to include measures to discourage unauthorised future modifications. Regardlessof this the volume shall be increased by 20% over the design volume to cover losses caused byvegetation growth, topsoiling etc.

Rainwater Tanks

•  Rainwater tanks and the reuse of site water is encouraged in residential development. These systemswill be assessed by Council on a site-specific basis. OSD capacity can be accommodated by adedicated detention volume.

2.5.1.2  DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR OSD SYSTEMS

The following guidelines are acceptable design procedures for the computation of OSD systems with storagevolumes less than 100m

3. If this method produces a storage volume of greater than 100m

3, a recognised

routing method must be used.

1. Inflow

Inflow shall be based on runoff from the developed site.

 A 1 in 20 year average recurrence interval storm shall be adopted for inflow calculations. (Q20dev)

2. Outflow

Page 8: Att 30 12STRAT005 Engineering Guidelines - Part 4 Handbook of Drainage Design Criteria

8/13/2019 Att 30 12STRAT005 Engineering Guidelines - Part 4 Handbook of Drainage Design Criteria

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/att-30-12strat005-engineering-guidelines-part-4-handbook-of-drainage-design 8/34

 

Handbook of Drainage Design Criteria – Lake Macquarie City Council

Handbook of Drainage Deisgn CriteriaPage 8 – F2009/00952February 2012 – Exhibiti on Draft

The maximum outflow from the basin shall be computed on a 1 in 5 year average recurrence interval storm,based on runoff from the undeveloped site. (Q

5und).

The Undeveloped site is the site in its natural state. ie 0% impervious.

Detention Volume Calculation.

The following formula can be used to estimate the detention volume.

Detention Volume (m3) = (Q

20dev - Q

5und) x t

c20 dev x 0.06  (eq 1)

where:- Q20

dev (litres/sec) Q5und (litres/sec) t

cdev (minutes)

NB. The flow from the site for the Q100

dev shall be checked to ensure that it does not exceed the Q100

und. Thefollowing formula may be used:-

Q100

dev  - Q20

dev + Detention outflow (normally = Q5und) ≤  Q

100und  (eq 2)

If the above equation is not satisfied then generally the detention outflow may need to be further constricted

with a corresponding increase in detained volume. The First check would be to assess the volumedifference between the Q

100dev & - Q

100und.

ie Vol = (Q100

dev  - Q100

und) * 0.06 * x tc

100 dev (eq 2a) 

Restraints

1. Minimum surface fall shall be 1%;

2. Charged drainage systems will not be accepted in most instances (see “Section F – AlternateDischarge Systems” below)

3. Non-habitable floor levels shall be a minimum of 150mm above the stored water level or 100mmabove the overflow level, which ever is greater;

4. Notwithstanding (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) the standards outlined in AR & R 1987 shall be adopted, in regard

to detention systems.

Overflow

 All storages shall be provided with an approved overflow facility to cater for controlled discharge of waters inexcess of the design event. Overflows shall be designed to cater for flows up to the 1 in 100 year averagerecurrence interval storm. Any overflows shall not exceed the 100 year undeveloped flow from the site.

2.5.2  RAINWATER TANKS – ROOFWATER

(Ref: LHCC REMS Practice Note 4).

The tank capacity should be designed to suit the catchment and reuse demand. Council is investigatingsuitable design models, and sourcing local data for input. As a guide a typical house will require a tankcapacity between 5000 to 15000 litres.

If rainwater is to be reused for household non-potable in-house use such as toilets and hot water systems,the following requirements apply:

Supply source

•  Rainwater is sourced only from roof surfaces.

•  If supply is supplemented by interconnection with a reticulated system operated by a water supplyauthority, backflow prevention is provided in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3500.1.2.

Treatment and use

•  The collection system incorporates an effective first flush device for removing roof surfacecontamination. This should cater for the first 1mm of rainfall.

•  The tank system is connected to toilet and hot water fixtures.

Handbook of Drainage Design Criteria – Lake Macquarie City Council

Handbook of Drainage Deisgn CriteriaPage 9 – F2009/00952February 2012 – Exhibiti on Draft

•  There is no connection to other indoor fixtures unless the supply is treated to potable standard by anapproved purification system.

Drainage

•  Overflow discharges to an infiltration trench or a piped stormwater drainage system.

Noise

•  Noise emissions from any pumps do not exceed 5dB(A) above ambient background noise levelmeasured at the allotment boundary.

Recommended sources for design and best practice

•  Refer to Item 9 in Schedule 1.

2.5.3  STORMWATER TANKS

Water tanks designed for collection of surface runoff must satisfy the following requirements:Supply source

•  Rainwater is sourced from a combination of roofs, driveways, paved surfaces or grassed areas.

•  There is no interconnection with a reticulated system operated by a water supply authority.

Treatment and use

•  The collection system incorporates suitable treatment measures, such as a first flush pit or asand/gravel filter.

•  The tank system is connected to irrigation or other outdoor fixtures, but is not connected to indoorwater fixtures.

•   All fixtures connected to the supply system are marked ‘NOT SUITABLE FOR DRINKING’.

Drainage

•  Overflow discharges to an infiltration trench or a piped stormwater drainage system.

Noise

•  Noise emissions from any pumps do not exceed 5dB(A) above ambient background noise levelmeasured at the allotment boundary.

2.5.4  INFILTRATION

Infiltration devices must be properly designed to perform satisfactorily and to avoid adverse impacts onadjoining development.

Where conditions are otherwise suitable (Refer Tables 1-3), and the site falls towards adjoining properties,the device is to be a minimum of 5m from the boundary (normal to the contours). In these situations thedevice must also have an overflow connected to an inter-allotment drainage system.

In other situations the device must be wholly within the development lot, and overflows discharged to aswale, landscaping or a piped stormwater drainage system.

The following requirements apply:

•  Table 1 sets out unsuitable conditions for infiltration devices.

•  The infiltration trench shall be designed by a Consulting Engineer.

•  Site testing shall be undertaken to establish the permeability of the soil.

•  The trench system shall be designed to infiltrate the runoff from the site for all storm durations up tothe 20 year  ARI. Any surcharge from the system shall not exceed the respective undeveloped flow. Asuitable time-area computer model shall be used such as ILSAX.

2.6   ALTERNATE DISCHARGE OPTIONS

2.6.1  INTER-ALLOTMENT DRAINAGE EASEMENTS

Interallotment Drainage Easements

 An interallotment drainage easement is required to be created wherever it is necessary to conveystormwater across lands, other than the development site, to gain access to the public drainage system or anatural watercourse.

•  Council will not approve a Development Consent where an easement is required for drainage until :-

o  Evidence of a written agreement from the relevant landowners has been provided to Council

o  A preliminary stormwater plan has been assessed by Council

•  Council will not approve the corresponding Construction Certificate until:-

o  Evidence has been provided to Council that the easement has been registered with the Landand Property Information NSW (formally Land Titles Office).

•  Where an easement has been created on a downstream property for a development that is required tohave on site detention, the pipe in the easement shall convey the 100 year discharge from thedevelopment site. This would typically be the 100 year developed flow less the detained flow.

Flow in easement pipe = (Q100

dev - Q20

dev + Q5und) (eq 2b)

2.6.2  PUMP SYSTEMS

The use of pump systems is discouraged by Council, however Council may permit pump systems under thefollowing circumstances:-

•  Evidence shall be provided to Council that all avenues to secure easements through downstream

properties has failed. Copies of letters to and from adjacent landowners, that include details of offersof financial compensation, would be the minimum evidence required.

•  The associated detention storage for a pump system shall store the difference in volume of runoff fromthe 100 year developed ARI 30 minute storm and the 100 year undeveloped ARI 30 minute storm.

Volume (m3) = (Q100

dev –Q100

und ) x 30min x 0.06 (eq 3)

where:- Q100

dev (litres/sec) Q100

und (litres/sec)

•  The discharge from the pump line at the kerb shall not exceed the 5 year ARI undeveloped flow fromthe site.

•  The pump line shall terminate within the property at a stilling pit from which drainage is by gravity(where possible) to the kerb. This is to reduce flows to acceptable velocities.

•  Pumped stormwater disposal systems shall be designed using 2 pumps operating alternatively.

•   An Inspection and Maintenance schedule shall be incorporated into the Strata By-Laws orManagement Statement (if Community Title).

The design of the system shall be such that if overflow does occur, the overflow would be spread to mimicnatural sheet flow.

2.6.3  CHARGED SYSTEMS

•   Are generally not acceptable for developments larger than one single dwelling

•  The system must be completely sealed with an inspection/cleaning eye at the lowest point.

•  The roof gutter must be no less than 2 metres above the corresponding kerb.
