Preface

January 2006

i

Purpose This Drainage Design Manual has been prepared as a guide for the hydraulic design of highway drainage facilities. Drainage has long been recognized as one of the essential parts of the highway, and the cost involved in the adequate removal of surface and subsurface water justifies a careful and scientific hydraulic analysis.

The time required to determine by hydraulic principles such basic information as size and shape of a conduit, the need for temporary and/or permanent open channel protection, and the proper spacing of catch basins or pavement inlets constitutes a relatively small percentage of the total time required to prepare a set of highway plans. The fact that drainage facilities for most highway projects will account for approximately 25% of the total cost of the project is further justification for a detailed hydraulic analysis.

Application Adhering to recommended design procedures and controls noted in this manual should result in drainage facilities that will preclude the following:

A. Damage of private property due to flooding.

B. Undue inconvenience to the motorist during moderate to heavy rainfall.

C. Undue disturbance to the environment.

Numerous charts have been prepared and are included in the Drainage Design Aids Section of this manual to assist the Drainage Design Engineer with the hydraulic analysis. Other design charts are available in Hydraulic Engineering Circulars and Hydraulic Design Series prepared by the Federal Highway Administration. Reference is made to those charts as required.

This manual is neither a textbook nor a substitute for engineering knowledge, experience, or judgment. It is intended to provide uniform procedures for implementing drainage design decisions and assure quality and continuity in drainage of highways in Ohio. Although the manual is considered a primary source of reference by personnel involved in drainage design in Ohio, it must be recognized that the practices suggested may be inappropriate for some projects because of fiscal limitations or other justifiable reasons.

Consideration must also be given to justifiable hydraulic design standards adopted by city, county, or other local governments when designing facilities under their jurisdiction.

Preparation The Drainage Design Manual has been developed by the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. Errors or omissions should be reported to the Office Administrator, Office of Structural Engineering, Ohio Department of Transportation, 1980 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43223.

Format and Revisions Updating the manual is intended to be a continuous process and revisions will be issued periodically.

Although pages are individually numbered within each section, new pages may be added and identified with letter suffixes after the page numbers. For example, two new pages between 10-4 and 10-5 would be numbered 10-4a and 10-4b. Figures do not have page numbers, but are numbered to coincide with the section number in the text. For example, Figure 1102-2 is the second figure listed in Section 1102. Additional figures may be added by either going to the next highest number or using a letter suffix. It should also be noted that figures are located at the end of each main section and are printed on colored paper for easy reference.

Each page has the latest date shown on the lower left hand corner. Revisions will be issued periodically by the Office of Structural Engineering. The loose-leaf format of the manual makes updating a quick and simple task. Users are encouraged to keep their copies up-to-date.

Glossary of Terms

January 2006 v

Aggregate Drain - A trench filled with granular material extending laterally from the pavement base or subbase layer to an outlet on the roadway foreslope with the intent of draining surface and/or ground water away from the pavement base and/or subbase.

Anti-seep Collar – Device that prevents the flow of water through the surrounding soil around a conduit that is used as an outlet for an infiltration, retention, or detention basin.

Apron - Paving at a pipe inlet or outlet, or upstream of a catch basin, constructed along the channel bottom to prevent scour.

Backwater Analysis - The determination of water surface profiles measured at specific locations upstream from a constriction causing an increased flow depth upstream.

Bankfull Discharge – The flow or stage of a stream corresponding to the highest level of active deposition. It is the discharge that, on the average, fills a main channel to the point of overflowing. For simplicity, it is generally considered to be approximately the 2 year discharge.

Camber - A slight convex curve constructed into the bottom of a pipe to overcome anticipated settlement problems.

Cast-in-place Structure - A concrete drainage structure which is placed in forms and cured at its final location. Precast beams on cast-in-place foundations are considered cast-in-place structures.

Catch Basin - A structure for intercepting flow from a gutter or ditch and discharging the water through a conduit.

Coefficient of Runoff (C) - A value, varying with the ground and ground cover, which is used in the Rational formula to determine the amount of a rainfall which is directed to streams and not absorbed into the ground.

Conduit - A closed structure such as a pipe.

Corner Bearing Pressure - The pressure generated at the corners of pipe arch structures.

Culvert - A structure which is typically designed hydraulically to take advantage of submergence at the inlet to increase hydraulic capacity. A structure used to convey surface runoff through

embankments. A structure, as distinguished from a bridge, which is usually covered with embankment and is composed of structural material around the entire perimeter, although some are supported on spread footings with the stream bed serving as the bottom of the culvert.

Cutoff Wall - A wall that extends downward from the end of a structure to below the expected scour depth, or to a scour-resistant material.

Design Discharge (Q) - The peak rate of flow for which a drainage facility is designed. Usually given in cubic feet per second(cfs).

Design Service Life - The desired usable life of a pipe or structure. Certain drainage situations require a 50-year life, more stringent situations require a 75-year design life.

Design Storm - A given rainfall amount, areal distribution, and a time distribution, used to estimate runoff. The rainfall amount is either a given frequency (25-year, 50-year, etc.) or a specific large value.

Detention Basin – A structure that holds water for a short period of time before releasing it to the natural water course.

Diversion Dike - An embankment to control or to deflect water away from a soil bank.

Drainage Area - The area contributing discharge to a stream at a given point.

Drop-down Entrance (Drop inlet) - A type of inlet which conveys the water from a higher elevation to a lower elevation smoothly without a free fall at the inlet.

Elliptical Pipe - Pipe which is manufactured with a span greater than rise to be utilized in shallow cover situations.

Ephemeral Stream – A stream or reach of stream that does not flow for parts of the year. As used here, the term includes intermittent streams with flow less than perennial. It is located above the water table year-round. Ground water is not a source of water supply.

Feasible – Term used to define BMP practicability. BMP shall be: technically feasible, implemented within the procured highway right-of-way, safe for the traveling public and ODOT maintenance personnel, cost effective as

January 2006 vi

compared to the benefit, and will be legal at the State, Federal, and Local levels. FEMA – Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Flood Fringe – The portion of the floodplain outside of the floodway.

Flood Hazard Evaluation - The act of determining if flood levels within a watercourse for a 100-year flood, or other recurrence interval floods have a significantly increased detrimental impact on upstream property.

Flood Plain – Lowland and relatively flat areas adjoining inland and coastal waters including, at a minimum, that area subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. This area encompasses the floodway and the floodway fringe.

Flood Plain Culverts – Relief culverts that are placed in addition to a bankfull culvert at a higher elevation across the flood plain to allow multiple outlets for floodwaters.

Forebay – Depressed area that offers pretreatment of sediment laden storm water prior to a retention, detention, or infiltration basin. Flood Plain Study - A more extensive analysis of the effects of flood levels on upstream property than the Flood Hazard Evaluation. This analysis is to be used when upstream properties appear to have been subjected to a significantly increased detrimental effect from the flood flows.

Floodway – The portion of the floodplain which is effective in carrying flow, within which this carrying capacity must be preserved and where the flood hazard is generally highest.

Friction Slope - The slope of the energy grade line.

Granular Material - A term relating to the uniform size of grains or crystals in rock, larger than sand or pea gravel.

Grate - A type of screen made from sets of bars used to allow the interception of flow, and also to cover an area for pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Headwall - The structural appurtenance placed at the open end of a pipe to control an adjacent highway embankment and protect the pipe end from undercutting.

Headwater - That depth of water impounded upstream of a culvert due to the influence of the culvert constriction, friction, and configuration.

Highest Known Water Elevation – The highest known flood water in record.

Hydraulic Grade Line - A line coinciding with the level of flowing water in an open channel. In a closed conduit operating under pressure, a line representing the distance water would rise in a pitot tube at any point along a pipe. The hydraulic grade line is equal to the pressure head (P/γ) along the pipe.

Hydraulic Gradient - The slope of the hydraulic grade line for a storm sewer or culvert.

Idealized Channel Geometry - Physical, geometric, and hydraulic characteristics of a channel determined from empirical relationships.

Impervious Surface – Hardened pavement surface. Infiltration Rate – The rate at which water penetrates the surface of the soil at any given instant. The rate can be limited by the infiltration capacity of the soil or the rate at which water is applied.

Inlet - A structure for capturing concentrated surface flow. May be located along the roadway, in a gutter, in the highway median, or in the field.

Inlet Control - The situation where the culvert hydraulic performance is controlled by the entrance geometry only.

Intermittent Stream – A stream that is dry for part of the year, ordinarily more than 3 months.

Manhole - A structure by which one may access a closed drainage system.

MS4 Phase II Regulated Area – Area that has been designated by the Ohio EPA that requires a storm water management plan to discharge storm water.

Multiple Cell Culvert - A culvert with more than one barrel.

New Development Project – Projects that change the land use of a site from undeveloped to developed characteristics.

January 2006 vii

Normal Water Elevation – The water elevation in a stream which has not been affected by a recent heavy rain runoff. The water level which could be found in the stream most of the year. This elevation will be lower than the ordinary high water.

Ordinary High Water – The line on the shore established by the fluctuation of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as: a clear natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas. This elevation is lower than the highest known water.

Outlet Control - The situation where the culvert hydraulic performance is determined by the controlling water surface elevation at the outlet, the slope, length and roughness of the culvert barrel, as well as the entrance geometry.

Overland Flow - Water which travels over a surface and reaches a stream.

Perennial Stream – A stream that flows continuously for all or most of the year. The water table is located above the stream bed for most of the year.

Permeability– The quality of the soil that enables water to move downward through the soil profile. It is measured in units of inches per hour.

pH - The reciprocal of the negative logarithm of the Hydrogen ion concentration. Neutral water has a pH value of 7. A measure of the acidity of a substance, if less than 7; alkalinity if greater than 7.

Pipe Arch - Pipe which is manufactured with a span greater than rise (semicircular crown, small-radius corners, and large radius invert) to be utilized in shallow cover situations.

Pipe Underdrain - A longitudinal subsurface drainage system composed of a perforated pipe at the bottom of a narrow trench filled with permeable material and lined with a geotextile in erodible soils, with the intent of draining surface and/or ground waters away from the pavement base and/or subbase.

Porosity – The volume of voids divided by the total volume and multiplied by 100.

1000 Drainage Design Policies

January 2006 10-1

1001 Hydraulic Design Policy

1001.1 Responsibilities

The Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering is responsible for the hydraulic and structural design standards of all prefabricated and cast-in-place structures including concrete pipe, vitrified clay pipe, corrugated metal pipe, thermoplastic pipe, box culverts, three-sided flat-topped and arch structures, etc., regardless of structure size or contributing drainage area. This includes the preparation of permissible surcharge tables for flexible and rigid pipe and coordination with Specification Committee for the material portions of the Construction and Material Specifications. The Hydraulic Section is also responsible for the structural and hydraulic adequacies of all headwalls or endwalls used in conjunction with structures. Further responsibility includes all surface drainage systems including roadway ditches and channels. The Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering, is also responsible for the determination of the type of drainage structure (i.e., prefabricated vs. cast-in-place) required to replace an existing bridge (span length greater than 10 feet ) 1001.2 Natural Streams

Channel designs and channel relocations of all natural streams passing through a proposed highway facility will be the responsibility of whichever Departmental Office has the responsibility for the highway structure. All other channel designs and channel relocations of natural streams shall be the responsibility of the Hydraulic Section. 1002 Pipe Policy

1002.1 Introduction

The policies herein shall govern in the determination of the size and type of pipe specified or permitted for the various items of highway drainage financed totally or in part with state or federal funds. Proposed deviations from this Pipe Policy concerning type of pipe or pipe placement by local political subdivision or agencies will be considered for all portions of the project that the political subdivision will be responsible for maintaining at its own expense. Any deviations

must be based on sound engineering judgment or experience. A policy of the local subdivision, which has been published and implemented, will be acceptable. In lieu of a published policy, prior construction with local funds will be accepted as bona fide demonstration of local practice. A written request, by the local subdivision or agency for deviation from this Pipe Policy, shall be submitted, with the necessary documentation, to the local ODOT District, who will in turn forward the request with the District’s recommendation to the Administrator of the Office of Structural Engineering. The request shall be made with the Drainage Criteria submission. 1002.2 General Requirements

1002.2.1 Pipe Materials

The type of pipe materials listed under the various conduit types in Section 603.02 of the Construction and Material Specifications shall be considered as equal within their size, structural and material durability limitations. 1002.2.2 Outlet Velocity Control

When permissible pipe alternates have different velocity characteristics, the design specified for erosion control shall satisfy the most severe velocity condition of the permissible alternates. In this case, “erosion control” refers to controls placed in the stream channel at the outlet end of the pipe such as rock channel protection, and does not refer to energy dissipators. Where the calculated culvert outlet velocity exceeds 20 feet per second or 15 feet per second in areas of poor soil such as fine sand or sandy silt, roughness elements (protruding concrete rings inside the pipe) may be specified at the outlet end of the alternates to reduce the velocity below the maximum allowable. The design of internal energy dissipator ring chambers is provided in report FHWA/OH-84/007 “Internal Energy Dissipators for Culverts”. This report and ring chamber details can be obtained from the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. Where the outlet velocity for a corrugated pipe is less than 20 feet per second while the outlet velocity for a smooth pipe requires a ring chamber, the corrugated pipe may be specified exclusively.

Drainage Design Policies

January 2006 10-2

1002.2.3 Special Shapes

Special shaped conduits (elliptical concrete, corrugated metal arch or pipe arch, or prefabricated box or three-sided structures) are generally limited for use under shallow cover installations or extremely low or restrictive headwater control otherwise requiring multiple circular conduits to satisfy allowable headwater conditions. Generally elliptical concrete and corrugated metal pipe arch of the required size to satisfy hydraulic conditions are to be shown on the plan. Special shaped conduits may be provided to conform to the cross-sectional geometry of sensitive streams identified in the environmental documentation. Where corrugated metal and structural plate pipe arches are specified or permitted, a foundation investigation shall be submitted as required by Section 1008.1.5. 1002.3 Conduit Types

1002.3.1 Type A Conduits

Type A conduits shall be designated for soil-tight, sealed-joint, open-ended cross drains under pavements and paved shoulders. The minimum size culvert (or cross drain) to be specified shall be based on the roadway type and depth of fill from the flowline to roadway surface. The minimum required round (or equivalent deformed) pipe sizes are listed in Figure 1002-1. For culverts under freeways or high fills (16 feet), the size shall be increased one pipe size over the required size to allow for future repair. The pipe shall only be upsized once. All hydraulically and structurally adequate pipe alternates which provide the required service life shall be shown on the plans and listed in the pertinent pay item. In the applicable size ranges, alternates should include, vitrified clay, concrete, corrugated steel and corrugated aluminum pipe. For corrugated pipe, the corrugation profile which requires the thinnest metal shall be listed. Where durability requires increased thicknesses of the corrugated steel alternate, the 1-inch corrugation profile should be specified for pipe diameters over 48 inches. For the corrugation profile specified, all combinations of thickness and protection providing the required service life shall be specified.

Only one type of pipe may be specified where special conditions prevail such as: excessive cover for a rigid pipe; where a larger corrugated pipe would require a higher pavement grade to satisfy minimum cover requirements or require more cells than a rigid alternate; or where a metal pipe arch would be required as an alternate to a round rigid pipe. The use of a single material type shall be subject to the approval of the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. If the alternates to be listed in the plan are of a different size, the pipe length shall be designed for the smaller sized pipe. The length of pipe may be greater, therefore, than theoretically required if the larger sized alternate pipe is selected by the contractor. In addition to hydraulic and structural considerations, pipe material durability shall be considered in the selection of culvert materials. All Type A Conduits under State and Federal routes shall be designed to provide a minimum median service life of 50 years. At sites where the future cost to replace a pipe could be exceptionally high such as under high fills (16 feet or more from flowline to finish grade) or freeways, a design median service life of 75 years shall be used. The pH of the normal stream flow and the presence of abrasive flow conditions shall be the factors considered to determine material durability. At all sites, the pH of the normal stream flow shall be measured and a determination of the abrasive potential of the stream shall be made. The presence of granular material accompanied with a stream gradient or flow sufficient to cause movement of the granular material in the stream bed shall be the basis for the determination of an abrasive versus non-abrasive site for corrugated steel pipe. Granular material is considered to be a material larger than sand or pea gravel. A site should be considered abrasive for corrugated aluminum pipe if bed loads consist of sharp cobbles with flow sufficient to carry the bed load through the culvert. Otherwise, the site should be considered non-abrasive. If there is no normal stream flow during the culvert field review, Figures 1002-2 and 1002-3 may be used to determine pH. Future land use (such as coal mines) should be considered and the durability design adjusted to meet future needs. Figures 1002-4, 5 and 6 shall be used to determine the pipe materials for the design


January 2006 10-3

service life. These tabulations are based on the ODOT Culvert Durability Study and later reports. The equations in the referenced study can be used to determine service lives other than 50 and 75 years. The following shall govern the determination of the pH factor for the categories listed in Figures 1002-4, 1002-5 and 1002-6. 1. The instrument used to measure the pH shall

be capable of determining the pH within an accuracy of 0.1.

2. The firm or agency responsible for the

preparation of the plans shall be responsible for obtaining the pH readings.

3. A report shall be submitted, with the Drainage

Review plans, listing for all culvert sites: the pH of the stream flow, an evaluation of whether the site is abrasive or non-abrasive, and a statement that the tests were made in dry weather or low flow.

Protection greater than required for existing conditions may be specified for a culvert with potential flow conditions more corrosive than measured, if the district office is of the opinion that future use of the contributing watershed will alter such conditions. A statement of this opinion, including the reasons for the opinion, shall accompany the pH report. At culvert replacement sites, past performance of existing material should also be considered. 1002.3.2 Type B Conduits

Type B conduit shall be designated for soil-tight, sealed joint sewers under pavements, paved shoulders, and commercial or industrial drives. In areas with highly erodible soils (e.g., fine sands or silts), premium joints shall be provided. Additional protection (epoxy coating as per 706.03 for concrete pipe and polymer coating per 707.04 for asphalt paved corrugated steel pipe) shall be provided for storm sewers carrying corrosive flow. 1002.3.3 Type C Conduits

Type C conduit shall be designated for soil-tight, sealed joint sewers not under pavements, paved shoulders, or commercial or industrial drives.

In areas with highly erodible soils (e.g., fine sands or silts), premium joints shall be provided. Additional protection (epoxy coating as per 706.03 for concrete pipe and polymer coating per 707.04 for asphalt paved corrugated steel pipe) shall be provided for storm sewers carrying corrosive flow. 1002.3.4 Type D Conduits

Type D conduits shall be designated for pipes under driveways and bikeways. The minimum size required is 12 inches. For sizes 24 inches and larger, it will be necessary to submit calculations and specify pipe sizing required to satisfy the hydraulic controls. Such analyses shall be submitted with the Drainage Review plans. The design frequency used to analyze the hydraulic performance of the Type D conduit is the same as that used for the flow capacity of the connected ditch or channel and the headwater for that frequency shall not exceed a point 1 foot below the edge of the pavement. If potential exists for the drive pipe headwater to encroach on the adjacent roadway, the drive pipe shall be sized utilizing a design frequency as per 1004.2. Generally, the pipe alternates listed in 603.02 of the Construction and Material Specifications are applicable, except that equal size corrugated pipe will provide satisfactory alternates for sizes smaller than 24 inches. If the control is critical, a hydraulic analysis will be required to determine the proper size of pipe alternates. Drive pipes under commercial or industrial drives shall be designed for material durability as per 1002.3.1. Additional protection for residential and field drives may be specified if conditions warrant. 1002.3.5 Type E Conduits

Type E conduits shall be designated for farm drain headers inside or outside of the right-of-way lines. Headers are ordinarily provided to intercept small, closely spaced lines in a tiled field thereby precluding the need for numerous field tile outlets through the backslope of the highway ditch. Type E conduits may be used beyond the paved shoulder to eliminate a ditch in front of a yard where such ditch elimination can be justified. When required by hydraulic analysis, all proper sized alternates shall be specified.


January 2006 10-4

1002.3.6 Type F Conduits

Type F conduits shall be designated where a butt joint or a short length jointed pipe would be undesirable as noted below: A. For the steep portion of a median outlet under

an embankment slope 4:1 or steeper, including any necessary pipe bends.

B. For the outlets of underdrains or farm drains

through the slope or connecting to a drainage structure. When used for underdrain outlets, the following pay item description shall be used: Item 603 " Conduit, Type F for Underdrain Outlets

C. For farm drains larger than 12 inches that

outlet through slopes flatter than 4:1, provide a 20 foot length of Type F Conduit with an animal guard at the outlet.

D. For pipe underdrains that span the trench of a

lower conduit, unless the crossing is more than 12 inches above the granular backfill of the lower conduit, provide a minimum length of 10 feet of Type F Conduit.

For Type F conduits in storm drainage systems, 707.05 Type C shall be specified for the steel alternate. 1003 Hydrology

1003.1 Estimation of Magnitude and Frequency of Floods on Ohio Streams

1003.1.1 General

USGS Water Resources Investigations Report 89-4126 “Techniques for Estimating Flood-Peak Discharges of Rural Unregulated Stream in Ohio” was developed cooperatively by the United States Geological Survey and the State of Ohio. This bulletin is an update of Bulletin 32 (1959), Bulletin 43 (1969), and Bulletin 45 (1977). This report provides the latest hydrologic information for determining the magnitude and frequency of floods for rural streams in Ohio. The techniques presented in Report 89-4126 shall be used to determine the design peak discharge for hydraulic structures designated by or for ODOT. When applying this technique, the tributary with the largest contributing drainage area, not the longest reach, should be considered. USGS Water Resources Investigation Report 93-4080 “Estimation of Flood Volumes and Simulation of

Flood Hydrographs for Ungaged Small Rural Streams in Ohio” shall be used to determine flood volumes and hydrographs for rural areas within the limits prescribed in the report. 1003.1.2 Limitations

The regression equations, as presented for the three geographic regions, should be used only for unregulated streams draining rural areas in excess of 6 acres. For smaller drainage areas or larger drainage areas where no well defined natural channel exists and sheet flow prevails, the rational method (Section 1101.2.2) shall be used. USGS Open File Report 93-135 "Estimation of Peak-Frequency Relations, Flood Hydrographs, and Volume - Duration - Frequency Relations of Ungaged Small Urban Streams in Ohio” shall be used in the design of culverts, detention basins, large storm sewers, and large open channels with urban drainage areas within the limits prescribed in the report. The rational method shall be used in the design of pavement inlets, roadway ditches, and small storm sewers. For additional guidance on the proper use of USGS regression equations see Transportation Research Record 1319 Report “Information Needs for the Proper Application of Hydrologic Regional Regression Equations”. Reports 89-4126, 93-4080 and 93-135 are available in limited quantities from the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering, 1980 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43223. 1004 Flood Clearance

1004.1 General

Where a new highway crosses or is located in a flood plain, the highway grade shall normally be set such that the low edge of the pavement will clear the design water surface profile for existing conditions by 3 feet, and bridges (low chord) will generally clear the water surface profile of the design year frequency flood. These clearances may be reduced where an economic comparison of alternatives shows that a reduction in clearance will result in significant savings, giving full consideration to future flood-related costs relative to: highway operation, maintenance, and repair; highway-aggravated flood damage to


January 2006 10-5

other property; and for additional or interrupted highway travel. Flood clearances may also be reduced to protect important ecological resources as identified in the environmental documentation. An economic comparison of alternatives shall be performed to determine the future flood-related costs relative to: highway operation, maintenance, and repair; highway-aggravated flood damage to other property; and for additional or interrupted highway travel. 1004.2 Design Year Frequency

* Unless otherwise approved by the Hydraulic section, Office of Structural Engineering. 1004.3 Plan Designation

The water surface elevation, velocity of flow and peak discharge for the design, and 100-year frequency storms shall be shown on the plan and profile sheets and culvert detail sheets. 1005 Highway Encroachments on Flood Plains

1005.1 General

The requirements of the Federal Code of Regulations, Volume 23, Part 650A, shall be followed for all projects. All highways that encroach on flood plains, bodies of water or streams, shall be designed to permit conveyance of the 100-year flood without causing significant damage to the highway, the stream, body of water or other property. Special consideration must be given when designing a structure located within a reach of channel that is part of a flood insurance study managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If this condition is applicable, the proposed maximum allowable 100-year water surface elevation will generally be limited to the existing 100-year water surface elevation presented in the flood insurance study. The local FEMA floodplain coordinator must be

informed of any proposed construction within the limits of a flood prone area as designated by a FEMA flood insurance study. Structures and/or channels shall be sized to satisfy the design year discharge. However, the size selected shall permit the conveyance of the 100-year flood without causing significant damage. Inundation of the highway is considered acceptable for the 100-year flood, but it is not permitted for the design-year flood. It is not necessary to lower the water surface elevation of any frequency flood below existing stages, except that the controls outlined in Section 1006.2.1 A, B and C must be satisfied. 1005.2 Type of Studies

1005.2.1 Flood Hazard Evaluation

A flood hazard evaluation is required for all water course involvements except for crossings where roadway culverts are provided to satisfy minimum size requirements. A Flood Hazard Evaluation shall entail a determination of the water surface elevation of the design year and 100-year floods by means of the procedures outlined in this section and Section 1105. Headwater pools shall be delineated on a topographic map. The valuation shall also include a discussion of the significance of any increase in the flooding limits over the existing conditions. Additional information regarding Flood Hazard Evaluations for cast-in-place or bridge structures may be obtained in the Bridge Design Manual. 1005.2.2 Detailed Flood Plain Study

If the Flood Hazard Evaluation should indicate a significant increase in the flooding of upstream property, a Detailed Flood Plain Study will be required. A Detailed Flood Plain Study should also be performed in highly urbanized areas where the potential for flooding cannot be accurately assessed without an analysis of the entire flood plain. For prefabricated structures, the Detailed Flood Plain Study, including a step-backwater analysis, will be authorized after review of the Flood Hazard Evaluation, by the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. Additional information regarding Detailed Flood Plain Studies for bridges or cast-in-place structures may be obtained in the Bridge Design Manual.

The frequency of the design storm shall be as stated in Section 1004.2. 1006.2 Controls

1006.2.1 Design Storm Controls

Headwater depth for all culverts (Type A Conduits) shall not exceed any of the following controls for the design storm: A. 2 feet below the near, low edge of the

pavement for drainage areas 1000 acres or greater and 1 foot below for culverts draining less than 1000 acres.

B. 2 feet above the inlet crown of the culvert or

above a tailwater elevation that submerges the inlet crown in flat to rolling terrain.

C. 4 feet above the inlet crown of a culvert in a

deep ravine. D. 1 foot below the near edge of pavement for

bicycle pathways. 1006.2.2 Check Storm Controls

Headwater depth for all culverts (Type A Conduits) shall not exceed any of the following controls for the applicable check frequency storm. A. 2 feet below the lowest ground elevation

adjacent to an occupied building for a 50-year storm (it is not intended, however, to lower existing highwater elevations around buildings).

B. The designer should generally limit the

maximum 100-year headwater depth to twice the diameter or rise of the culvert.

C. A replacement structure should be sized to

prevent overtopping by the 100-year flood where such overtopping would not occur with the existing structure.

D. A replacement structure should be sized such

that flooding of upstream productive land is not increased for the 100-year flood when compared to the existing structure. Judgment shall be used in implementing this policy,

considering the type of upstream property and sensitivity to the accuracy of the computed flood stages.

E. No significant increase in 100-year

headwater elevation shall occur in a FEMA designated floodway.

1006.2.3 Local Floodplain Coordinator

The local floodplain coordinator should be contacted early in the design process to determine the allowable headwater increase and or the permitting requirements. A current list of floodplain coordinators can be found at: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/water/floodpln/communitylist.pdf.

1006.2.4 Limitations

1006.2.1 B and C; and 1006.2.2 B, C and E are arbitrary headwater controls. When 1006.2.1 B is applicable, use smooth pipe to establish the allowable headwater in feet. When 1006.2.1 C controls, use corrugated pipe to establish the headwater and thereby permit the same headwater elevation regardless of type of pipe. More heading will be considered if pipe sizes can be reduced and not cause damaging upstream flooding or excessive outlet velocity. 1006.2.1 B and C are arbitrary controls that apply generally to small culverts. Where large structures (greater than or equal to 10 feet in span) are involved, the structure should be sized to pass the design storm while maintaining a free water surface through the structure. The near low edge of pavement is the location where roadway overtopping will occur. This may or may not be located directly over the culvert. Where the overtopping point on the roadway is outside the watershed break, the ditch break overflow elevation should be utilized as a headwater control in lieu of 1006.2.1 A. 1007 Pipe Removal Policy

1007.1 General

The following guidelines should be used by the designer to determine whether an existing pipe that is taken out of service, regardless of type, should be abandoned or removed.


January 2006 10-7

A. Pipes 8 inches in diameter or rise, or less, regardless of depth or height of fill, may be abandoned in place.

B. Pipes 10 inches through 24 inches in

diameter or rise with less than 3 feet of final cover should be removed or filled; with more than 3 feet of final cover they may be abandoned in place. (The designer should use discretion in removing small pipes under existing rigid pavement or base, which is to remain in place.)

C. Pipes over 24 inches in diameter or rise

should generally be removed. (The designer should use discretion in removing any pipe with more than 10 feet of cover.)

D. Where it is necessary to maintain service of

small unrecorded storm drain connections to an existing storm sewer being taken out of service, but this cannot be assured without the removal of that sewer, then the storm sewer shall be removed.

1007.2 Asbestos pipe

Asbestos pipe is a regulated material. Designers should make reasonable efforts to identify existing asbestos pipes in the plans and, when necessary, provide appropriate removal quantities. In the past, pipe containing asbestos was allowed on ODOT, LPA and utility projects under the following specifications:

• ASTM C663 Asbestos-Cement Storm Drain Pipe

• AASHTO M217 • AWWA C400 • AWWA C603 • ASTM C296 Asbestos-Cement

Pressure Pipe • ODOT CMS 707.09 Asbestos

Bonded Bituminous Corrugated Steel Pipe and Pipe Arches (Circa 1983)

• ODOT CMS 706.15 Asbestos Cement Perforated Underdrain Pipe (Circa. 1973)

Transite is a common brand name for a type of asbestos pipe. Asbestos can also be found in insulation wrapped around water pipes.

Reasonable efforts to identify asbestos pipes would include the following:

A. Examination of original construction plans and specifications.

B. Contact with the owner of the pipe (e.g., utility

company or LPA). C. Inspection of the pipe for markings when the

pipe is exposed during routine maintenance operations.

Removal of asbestos pipe is specified as Item 202 Asbestos Pipe Removed in the 2005 CMS. For projects to be constructed under the 1997 CMS, use Item 202 Pipe Removed, As Per Plan and indicate that the pipe must be removed by a certified asbestos contractor. Asbestos is a hazard only when it becomes airborne. Pipes that are otherwise unaffected by ODOT work do not need to be removed simply because they contain asbestos. Not all asbestos pipe will be identified by a records search. Construction inspectors are being advised to test suspicious pipe for asbestos. If asbestos pipe is identified, the contractor will be compensated by change order. 1008 Structural Design Criteria

1008.1 Corrugated and Spiral Rib Steel and Aluminum Pipes, and Corrugated Steel and Aluminum Pipe Arches

1008.1.1 Material Durability

The policy outlined in Section 1002 specifying types of protective coatings and/or extra metal thickness shall be followed. 1008.1.2 Designation and Thickness

The corrugation profile and required metal thickness shown in Figures 1008-1 through 1008-6 and 1008-15 through 1008-19 shall be specified. The thickness should be determined for the maximum height of cover and it shall be used for the full length of the structure. However, where a short length of conduit requiring a higher strength pipe is contiguous with a long run of pipe, then only that short length should be specified as requiring the higher strength pipe. Generally, the corrugation profile requiring the thinnest metal for a given size conduit shall be specified. When the minimum thickness shown in these figures will suffice, the thickness need not be specified.


January 2006 10-8

The preferred corner radius for structural plate corrugated pipe arches is 31” . The commercial availability of a specific sheet thickness for various pipe diameters should be verified. Use the General Notes for Figures 1008-1 through 1008-9, General Notes for Figures 1005-15 through 1008-21, and the Height of Cover Tables for this purpose. Minimum sheet thicknesses for the various corrugation profiles and pipe diameters are tabulated in the pertinent 700 Section of the Construction and Material Specifications Handbook. 1008.1.3 Cambered Flow Line

Where soil conditions at the site indicate that appreciable settlement may be expected, a cambered flow line should be provided. The amount of camber required at specific points shall be shown on the plans. 1008.1.4 Height of Cover

See General Notes for Figures 1008-1 Through 1008-9 and 1008-15 Through 1008-21 1008.1.5 Foundation Reports

An investigation of the supporting foundation material shall be conducted and the bearing capacity of the foundation material estimated. The level of detail required for the foundation investigation shall be commensurate with the importance of the structure. Such information shall be submitted for all proposed pipe arch installations and submitted in the Stage 2 review. Refer to section 1008.8 for information on foundation types. 1008.1.6 Corner Bearing Pressures

The tables of corner bearing pressures (Figures 1008-7, 1008-8, 1008-9, 1008-20 and 1008-21) are for installations with 4 feet or less cover. The minimum height of cover requirements for pipe arch shapes, from Section 1008.1.4 shall be satisfied. The corner bearing pressures listed for cover less than the minimum are for information only.

1008.2 Rigid Pipe

1008.2.1 General

Height of cover tables are shown in Figures 1008-10 through 1008-13. Information on the use of these tables can be found in the General Notes for Figures 1008-10 through 1008-14. Where soil conditions at the site indicate that appreciable settlement may be expected, a cambered flow line should be provided. The amount of camber required at specific points shall be shown on the plans. The minimum D-Load for the various diameters of reinforced concrete pipe are tabulated in Section 706.02 of the Construction and Material Specifications Handbook. 1008.2.2 Height of Cover

The maximum allowable height of cover is measured from the top of the pipe to the pavement surface. The minimum cover, from the top of the pipe to the top of the subgrade, or finish grade for pipe not under pavements, is 9 inches; however, in no installation shall the distance from the top of the pipe to the pavement surface be less than 15 inches. 1008.2.3 Structural Design Criteria

The following criteria are to be considered when determining pipe characteristics. A. The maximum allowable height of cover,

listed in the tables, is based on structural requirements for dead and live loads assuming an ordinary soil foundation. Where a rock or unyielding foundation is encountered in an embankment installation, additional thickness of granular bedding and/or greater strength pipe may be required. The extent of increase necessary is related to pipe size and cover.

B. Where the type of pipe is circular, reinforced

concrete pipe (706.02) and the height of cover exceeds the maximum cover listed in the Height of Cover Tables for a specific size and installation type, the pipe should still be included in the project plans. The concrete pipe alternate should be specified as 706.02 with special design.

The special design will be provided by the manufacturer after the project letting.


January 2006 10-9

C. If the height of cover over a pipe exceeds 100

feet, a special design is required to investigate foundation suitability.

D. The required pipe strength should be

determined for the maximum height of cover and it shall be used for the full length of the pipe. However, where a short length of conduit requiring a higher strength pipe is contiguous with a long run of pipe, then only that short length should be specified as requiring the higher strength pipe.

1008.3 Thermoplastic Pipe

1008.3.1 Height of Cover

The maximum allowable height of cover is measured from the top of the conduit to the pavement surface or to finished grade for pipes not under pavement. The maximum height of cover should be limited to 20 feet. Cover greater than 20 feet may be provided contingent upon the approval of the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. The minimum cover, from the top of the pipe to the top of the subgrade, is 12 inches; however, in no installation shall the distance from the top of the pipe to the pavement surface, or finish grade for pipes not under pavement, be less than 18 inches. 1008.4 Corrugated Steel and Aluminum Box Culverts and Corrugated Steel Long Span Culverts.

1008.4.1 Designation and Thickness

Arch or flat slab topped culverts are supported on either deep foundations or spread footings that are founded at a minimum of 4 feet below the flowline on competent scour resistant native soils. All of the following conditions must be met in order for spread footings to be utilized: A. The design and 100 year flood velocity

through the culvert must be less than 8 fps . B. The 100 year flood headwater must not

overtop the roadway in the vicinity of the structure.

C. There is no previous evidence of stream

scour or degradation. D. There are no soft soils below the footing to be

undercut. In the absence of competent bearing strata, deep foundations such as piles may be utilized based upon the cost comparison justification study

between alternative structure types including bridges. The excavated material along the inside of the footing shall be backfilled with Type C Rock Channel Protection for both spread footings and footings with deep foundations., to preclude scour. 1008.9 Waterproofing Membrane

An external waterproofing membrane shall be applied to all precast reinforced concrete box culverts, three-sided flat-topped culverts, and arch culverts.

Design wingwalls in accordance to the current AASHTO, Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, Section 5. Assume no passive forces are acting on the toe of the wall. 1009 Subsurface Pavement Drainage

1009.1 General

Subsurface pavement drainage is required on all projects. An exception may be made where the project is located in an area having a granular subgrade. The subsurface drainage design shall be submitted with the Preliminary Drainage review for approval.


January 2006 10-12

1009.2 Types of Subsurface Drainage

There are three means of draining the pavement subsurface - pipe underdrains, prefabricated edge drains, and aggregate drains. Generally, pipe underdrains are used with paved shoulders and curbed pavements (Figures 1009-1 through 1009-7). Prefabricated edge drains are typically used where existing concrete pavement with paved shoulders are to remain. Aggregate drains are used with bituminous surface treated shoulders, aggregate shoulders, and for spot improvements (Figures 1009-8 and 1009-9). Additional examples of typical underdrain and edge drain placements can be found in the Sample Plan Sheets. 1009.2.1 Pipe Underdrains

Pipe underdrains are used on both sides of the pavement and are typically carried through superelevated sections. Figures 1009-1 through 1009-7 show locations for pipe underdrains with respect to several shoulder designs. Pipe underdrains generally follow the profile grade of the roadway as long as the pipe underdrain maintains a positive or zero slope. For these cases, hydrostatic pressure is sufficient to ensure the proper drainage of the subbase and subgrade. Underdrain depth is measured from the bottom of subbase to the bottom of the underdrain trench. Base pipe and shallow pipe underdrains are typically 4-6 inches in diameter. The 4 and 6 inch underdrains are considered equivalent in hydraulic capacity for the base pipe and shallow pipe underdrains. Use a 6 inch underdrain if the the outlet interval is greater than the desired interval of 500 feet or if the subgrade is saturated. If a 6 inch underdrain is required, the material type must be called out in the plans as per CMS 605.02. Base pipe underdrain has a constant depth of 18 inches or less and the shallow pipe underdrain has a depth greater than 18 inches with a maximum of 30 inches. Where a dual underdrain system is provided (shoulder greater than or equal to 8 feet), the edge of shoulder underdrain is supplemental to the edge of pavement underdrain and is typically a base pipe underdrain with a depth of 18 inches. Rock cut underdrains are used in cut sections when a rock, shale, or coal subgrade exists. The depth of the rock cut underdrain should be 6

inches below the cut surface of the rock (Figure 1009-10). Refer to the 2005 CMS 204.05 for undercut information. Deep pipe underdrains have a constant depth greater than 30 inches with the preferred maximum depth at 50 inches below subbase. These are typically 6 inches in diameter. Deep pipe underdrains are used in cut sections, or areas with a high water table, to drain the subgrade. Unclassified underdrains are those having a variable depth below profile grade within a single continuous longitudinal run. Variable depth pipe underdrains (unclassified) shall be avoided where pipe underdrains of a constant depth can be provided. Underdrains which outlet to a slope should be provided with an outlet per SCD DM-1.1. Underdrain outlets should be provided at a desirable interval of 500 feet with a maximum interval of 1000 feet. Underdrain outlets should be provided at a desirable interval of 300 feet, with a maximum interval of 500 feet, where free draining base is utilized. It is desirable to outlet underdrains at least 12 inches above the flowline of a receiving ditch; and 12 inches above the flowline of a receiving catch basin, manhole, or pipe with 6 inches as a minimum. Underdrain outlets shall be type F conduit. When underdrain spans the trench of a lower conduit (utility, storm sewer, culvert, etc.) and the vertical distance between the trench and underdrain is less than or equal to 12 inches, a type F conduit should be used to span the lower trench. Use a minimum of 10 feet. A fabric filter wrap should be used when existing soils consist of a sandy or sandy-silt composition. Where necessary, the depth of the underdrains may vary slightly to accomplish this. Underdrain outlet pipe outletting into a roadway ditch or fill slope should maintain a minimum slope of 1%. Outlets should not be located at the top of high (over 20 feet) 2:1 fill slopes. If this cannot be accomplished by adjusting the spacing, special outlet treatments will be required. 1009.2.2 Construction Underdrains

In fine-grained soils excess water in the subgrade is the principal cause of unstable soil conditions during construction. Adequate subgrade


January 2006 10-13

drainage can be achieved by using temporary pipe underdrains. These underdrains are sacrificial in nature and are intended to work throughout the construction process. Construction Underdrains are usually placed in the centerline of the roadway. They may also be placed in the ditch line, if the water is coming in from a cut section at a higher elevation. The outlets for the construction underdrains are the same pipe material and backfill as construction underdrains (not Type F). The outlets should be discharged into a catch basin, manhole, pipe, or ditch. If discharging into a ditch, a precast concrete reinforced outlet is not required. 1009.2.3 Prefabricated Edge Drains

Prefabricated edge drains are located at the edge of existing concrete pavement on resurfacing projects where the existing pavement and paved shoulders are being retained. If existing paved shoulders are being replaced, a 4 inch shallow pipe underdrain at the edge of pavement shall be used in lieu of the prefabricated edge drain. 1009.2.4 Aggregate Drains

Aggregate drains should be located at 50 foot intervals on each side of the pavement and staggered so that each drain is 25 feet longitudinally apart from the adjacent drain on the opposite side. If used on rigid pavements, the drains shall be located at each end of each transverse joint. For superelevated pavements, the drains should be located on the low side only, at each transverse joint in rigid pavement and at 25 foot intervals for other pavement. Figures 1009-8 and 1009-9 show aggregate drains for several treated shoulder designs.

0.064 16 0.079 14 0.109 12 0.138 10 0.168 8 0.188 7 0.218 5 0.249 3 0.280 1

The maximum available sheet thickness for aluminum coated corrugated steel pipe (707.01, 707.02, 707.05, 707.07; all with aluminum coating) or polymer coated corrugated steel pipe (707.04) is 0.138. Minimum Cover The minimum cover is measured from the top of the pipe or pipe-arch to the top of subgrade; however, in no installation shall the distance from the top of the pipe or pipe-arch to the top of the wearing surface or finished grade be less than the figure values plus 6 inches. Maximum Cover The maximum height of cover is measured from the top of the pipe or pipe-arch, to the top of the wearing surface. When a dashed line is shown in any column, the pipe shown in the corresponding row shall not be specified for the thickness indicated. The maximum height of cover over any pipe is 100 feet, without a special design. Before a pipe is used under a cover exceeding 100 feet, the structural maximum allowable height of cover and the required bearing pressure should be calculated and an investigation of the bearing capacity of the foundation material performed. Parameters The figures are based upon the following parameters:

A. A standard highway loading of HS 20-44 for

live load. B. Unit weight of embankment material = 120

pounds per cubic foot. C. Factor of safety for seam strength = 3.0 (for

707.03) D. Factor of safety for buckling = 2.0 E. Horizontal soil modulus =1400 pounds per

square inch Foundation For all pipe-arch installations, the foundation material shall be investigated to determine its bearing capacity. The bearing capacity shall be a minimum of twice the corner bearing pressure. Seam Fabrication Allowable heights of cover are based upon the following types of seam fabrication: A. 707.01, 707.02, 707.04, 707.05, 707.07,

707.11, 707.13, and 707.14 conduits have helical continuous welded seams or helical lock seams.

B. 707.03 pipes and pipe-arches; all sizes and

wall thicknesses with four bolts per foot of seam (3/4" diameter), also the 0.280" wall thickness in all sizes with six bolts per foot of seam. If six bolts per foot of seam is required, the number of bolts per foot of seam (6) [spacing of bolts shall be specified on the plans.

C. 707.12 pipes; all sizes and wall thicknesses

with lock seams. Abbreviations and Symbols 20+ [6+] The maximum allowable height

of cover over any pipe-arch is 20' without a special design. The plus sign indicates the pipe-arch is structurally safe under a cover greater than 20', but the bearing capacity of the foundation may not be adequate.

1101 Estimating Design Discharge

1101.1 General

In order to properly design highway drainage facilities, it is essential that a reasonable estimate be made of the design and check discharges. Some of the more important factors affecting runoff are duration, intensity and frequency of rainfall; and the size, imperviousness, slope, and shape of the drainage area. Suitable topographic mapping shall be utilized to determine the contributing drainage area. For drainage areas over 100 acres, a 7.5 minute U.S. Geological Survey Quadrangle will ordinarily suffice. For smaller areas, or where discharges are calculated using the rational method, smaller scale maps (1”=50’ to 1”=800’) may be more appropriate. A proper evaluation should be made of the land use throughout the drainage area. Changes in land use within the drainage area which will occur in the immediate future shall be taken into account when determining design discharges. However, probable land use changes beyond this should not be assumed when determining design discharges. It is the responsibility of the local permitting/zoning agency to ensure proper land and water management techniques are utilized. These techniques will minimize the adverse affects of a change in land use. 1101.2 Procedures

1101.2.1 Statistical Methods

The statistical methods developed by the U.S. Geological Survey and published in USGS Reports 89-4126, 93-135 and 93-4080 shall be used to estimate runoff from larger drainage areas. A description and the limitations of these methods are described in Section 1003. 1101.2.2 Rational Method

The rational method is considered to be more reliable for estimating runoff from small drainage areas, less than the acreage for the USGS Regions; and for areas that contribute overland flow and shallow concentrated flow to the roadway ditch or pavement. The design discharge “Q” is obtained from the equation:

Q = CiA

where: Q = Discharge in cubic feet per second

C = Coefficient of runoff

I = Average rainfall intensity in inches per

hour, for a given storm frequency and for a duration equal to the time of concentration.

A = Drainage area in acres

The time of concentration is the time required for runoff to flow from the most remote point of the drainage area to the point of concentration. The point of concentration could be a culvert, catch basin or the checkpoint in a roadway ditch used to determine the need for velocity protection. Time of concentration is designated by “tc” and is the summation of the time of overland flow “to”, the time of shallow concentrated flow "ts" and the time of pipe or open channel flow “td”. Overland flow is that flow which is not carried in a discernible channel and maintains a uniform depth across the sloping surface. It is often referred to as sheet flow. The time of overland flow may be obtained from Figure 1101-1, a similar overland flow chart, or from the equation:

to ≈ 1.8(1.1-C) (L)(1/2)

(s)(1/3)

where: to = Time of overland flow in minutes

C = Coefficient of runoff

L = Distance to most remote location in

drainage area in feet

s = Overland slope (percent)

These methods should not be used to determine the time of travel for gutter, swale, or ditch flow. This equation and Figure 1101-1 assume a homogeneous drainage area. Where the overland flow area is composed of segments with

Drainage Design Procedures

11-2 January 2006

varying cover and/or slopes, the summation of the time of concentration for each segment will tend to over-estimate the overland flow time, “to”. In this case it may be more appropriate to use an average runoff coefficient "C" and an average ground slope in the Overland Flow Chart. Sheet flow is assumed to occur for no more than 300 feet after which water tends to concentrate in rills and then gullies of increasing proportion. This type of flow is classified as shallow concentrated flow. The velocity of shallow concentrated flow can be estimated using the following relationship:

V = 3.281ks0.5 where: V = Velocity in fps

k = Intercept coefficient

(see Table 1101-1)

s = Overland slope (percent)

Table 1101-1 Types of Surface

Intercept Coefficient “k”

Forest with heavy ground litter 0.076 Min. tillage cultivated; woodland 0.152 Short grass pasture 0.213 Cultivated straight row 0.274 Poor grass; untilled 0.305 Grassed waterways 0.457 Unpaved area; bare soil 0.491 Paved area 0.619

Shallow concentrated flow generally empties into pipe systems, drainage ditches, or natural channels. The velocity of flow in an open channel or pipe can be estimated using the Manning's equation. The travel time for both shallow concentrated flow and open channel or pipe flow is calculated as follows:

60VLtort ds =

where:

ts = Travel time for shallow concentrated flow in minutes

td = Travel time for open channel or pipe flow in minutes

L = Flow length in feet

V = Velocity in fps

Where a contributing drainage area has its steepest slope and/or highest "C" value in the sub-area nearest the point of concentration, the rational method discharge for this sub-area may be greater than if the entire contributing drainage area is considered. The maximum runoff rate for a sub-area should be considered only if greater than that for the entire area. 1101.2.3 Coefficient of Runoff

The coefficient of runoff is a dimensionless decimal value that estimates the percentage of rainfall that becomes runoff. The recommended values for the coefficient of runoff for various contributing surfaces are shown in Table 1101-2. Where two values are shown, the higher value ordinarily applies to the steeper slopes. For Residential areas, lot size should also be considered in choosing the appropriate value for the coefficient of runoff. Generally, a higher value should be associated with smaller lots and a lower value should be associated with larger lot sizes. The selected coefficient should be based upon an estimation of the typical slope, lot size, and lot development. The total width contributing flow to a given point usually consists of surfaces having a variable land cover and thereby requires a weighted coefficient of runoff “C”. The weighted coefficient is obtained by averaging the coefficients for the different types of contributing surfaces, as noted in the following example:

42.7 meters Residential Area 0.6 25.6 55 meters Summations 35.4 Weighted “C” = 35.4/55 = 0.64 1101.2.4 Rainfall Intensity

The average rainfall intensity “i” in inches per hour may be obtained from the Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves shown on Figure 1101-2. Each set of curves applies to a specific geographic area, A, B, C, or D as shown on the Rainfall Intensity Zone Map, Figure 1101-3. The geographic areas were established from an analysis of rainfall records obtained from Weather Bureau stations in Ohio. Some political subdivisions may have developed curves for their specific area similar to Figure 1101-2. Such curves may be based on a much longer period of record and provide more reliable information. Any local curves proposed by the designer should be cleared with the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering prior to incorporating that information in the drainage calculations.

1102 Open Water Carriers

1102.1 General

Open water carriers generally provide the most economical means for collecting and conveying surface water contributing to the roadway. The required capacity of a water carrier involves a determination of the velocity and depth of flow for a given discharge. These characteristics can best be obtained from charts that are based on Manning’s equation. Channel flow charts have been prepared for all the common water carrier shapes and are included in the Drainage Design Aids. A ditch computation sheet similar to that provided in the Appendix shall be used to perform or summarize ditch calculations. As a guideline, the desirable minimum roadway ditch grades should be 0.50% with a recommended absolute minimum of 0.25%. Lower grades may be used on large channels as necessary. Open water carriers should maintain a constant slope wherever possible. The proper location of a ditch outfall is quite important. Existing drainage patterns should be perpetuated insofar as practicable. Care should be taken to not capture an existing stream with the roadside ditch. If this is necessary, the designed ditch shall be in accordance to Section 1102.2.4. 1102.2 Types of Carriers

1102.2.1 Standard Roadway (Roadside) Ditches

The various roadside ditches shown in Volume I, Roadway Design, have proven to be safe and to provide adequate flow capacity. A ditch is considered to be standard when the centerline is parallel to the edge of the pavement and the flowline is a uniform distance below the edge of pavement. A modification of the above is required when the grade of the pavement is too flat to provide acceptable ditch flow, thereby creating the need for a special ditch. Channel charts, Drainage Design Aid Figures 1100-1 through 1100-10, are included for use in determining velocity and depth of flow for standard ditches having variable side slopes. 1102.2.2 Special Ditches

Special ditches other than the modified standard roadway ditch described in Section 1102.2.1 above, include the following:


11-4 January 2006

A. The steep ditch beyond the toe of the embankment used to carry the flow from a cut section to the valley floor.

B. Toe of fill ditch which is separated from the

toe of fill by a minimum 10 foot wide bench, having a minimum transverse slope of ½ inch per foot toward the ditch.

C. Deep parallel side ditches separated from the

pavement by a wide bench or earth barrier. The special ditches described in A, B and C above are ordinarily trapezoidal in shape and appropriate charts for the hydraulic analysis are included in this section of the manual or in the FHWA publication “Design Charts for Open Channel Flow”’ Hydraulic Design Series No. 3. It is required that the calculated flowline elevation be shown on each special ditch cross section. 1102.2.3 Median Ditches

The median ditches that are an integral part of all earth medians have the same shape and capacity features as the standard roadside radius ditch and the appropriate ditch chart is applicable for the hydraulic analysis. The fully depressed earth median provides adequate hydraulic capacity and the appropriate flow charts in the Drainage Design Aid Figures 1100-11, 1100-12 and 1100-13 have been developed for that shape. The rounding shown on the charts varies from 8 feet to 4 feet, depending on the width of the median. The slight discrepancy in the rounding from that shown in Volume I, Roadway Design, is not considered to affect the accuracy of the charts. 1102.2.4 Channel Relocations

Major channel relocations should be avoided. However, if it becomes necessary to relocate a channel adhere to the following: The design year frequency used for channel relocations shall be that given in Section 1004.2. All channel relocations shall carefully be designed to preclude erosion or unreasonable changes in the environment. Whenever possible, channel relocations shall be restricted to the downstream end of proposed culverts. The relocated channel shall be of a similar cross-section. Where the existing channel exhibits a two-stage cross section morphology, it shall be replaced with like kind. The two-stage channel is comprised of two distinct areas. The first of these

is a meandering bankfull width that carries the channel-forming discharge. The second area is the flood plain width. See Figure 1102-2 for a graphical representation of the major channel features. The proposed channel should be designed such that it matches the existing channel as closely as possible in regards to existing geomorphic conditions (e.g., channel slope and length, velocity, depth of flow, cross-sectional geometry, channel sinuosity, energy dissipation, etc.). The existing channel geometry and physical characteristics should be established from reference reaches and idealized geometry. The reference reaches should be selected from stable channel reaches close to the relocated section or in locations with similar watershed and valley conditions. The relocated channel should be designed to duplicate the existing hydraulic properties for the bankfull design frequency. The flood clearance criteria given in Section 1005 should also be met. Additional information on the design of relocated channels can be found in the United States Department of Agriculture publication, “Stream Corridor Restoration: Principles, Practices and Processes”. The principals given in this publication utilize idealized channel geometry. The actual design should be refined using the channel geometry and physical characteristics of reference reaches. 1102.2.5 Channel Linings and Bank Stabilization

The use of soil bioengineering should be used to stabilize banks for relocated or impacted channels when practicable. Native plant species should be used when feasible. Bank stabilization using bioengineering is covered in the previously referenced USDA publication as well as the AASHTO Model Drainage Manual and the USDA Engineering Field Handbook, chapter 16, part 650. The design procedures and methods for determining the effectiveness of the traditional channel linings are covered in the Federal Highway Administration Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 15 “Design of Stable Channels With Flexible Linings”.

1102.3 Ditch Design Criteria - Design Traffic Exceeding 2000 ADT

1102.3.1 Design Frequency

A 10-year frequency storm shall be used to determine the depth of flow, and a 5-year frequency shall be used to determine the shear stress and the width of ditch lining where needed. Where a flexible ditch lining is required for calculated stresses exceeding the allowable for seed, the minimum width of the lining shall be 7.5 feet. The depth of flow shall be limited to an elevation 1 foot below the edge of pavement for the design discharge. The depth of flow in toe of slope ditches shall be further limited such that the design year discharge does not overtop the ditch bank. 1102.3.2 Ditch Protection

The shear stress for the five-year frequency storm shall not exceed the values shown in Table 1102-1 for the various flexible linings. Table 1102-1

B 1.50

C 2.0

E 2.25 F 0.45 G 1.75

The allowable shear stress (τa) will need to be greater than or equal to the actual shear stress (τac). The temporary linings will degrade over time to reach a value of 1.0 psf upon vegetation establishment. The temporary lining shear stress values in Table 1102-1 should only be used on a temporary basis (6 months or less).

Actual shear stress is calculated by the following equation:

D= Water surface depth ft

S = Channel slope ft/ft τac = Actual shear stress lbs/ft

If the calculated shear stress exceeds that shown in the table then use the following within the stated limitations: A. Seeding and Erosion Control with Turf

Reinforcing Mat (Supplemental Specification 836) where the ditch slope is less than 10% and maximum velocities are as follows:

The actual shear stress is based upon the parameters of the channel slope and depth of flow for the 5-year discharge. The shear equation if valid for discharges less than 50 cfs with slopes less than 10% when evaluating Rock Channel Protection.

Contact the Hydraulics Section, Office of Structural Engineering for further guidance of RCP usage for 5-year discharges greater than or equal to 50 cfs.

1102.3.4 Catch Basin Types

The Standard No. 4, 5, and 8 Catch Basins are suitable for the standard roadside designs covered in Volume I, Roadway Design. The tilt built into the basin top provides a self-cleaning feature when the basins are used on continuous grades and the wide bar spacing minimizes clogging possibilities, thereby resulting in an efficient design. The bases of the 4, 5 and 8 Catch Basins can be expanded to accommodate

larger diameter conduits by specifying Standard Construction Drawing CB-3.4. The bar spacing can be decreased, when desirable for safety reasons, by specifying Grate “E” for the No. 4 and Grate “B” for the No. 5. The following catch basin types are generally recommended based on the size and shape of the ditch. A. Standard No. 4 for depressed medians wider

than 40 feet. B. Standard No. 5 for 40 foot radius roadside or

median ditches. (Use Grate “B” where pedestrian traffic may be expected.)

C. Standard No. 8 for 20 foot radius roadside or

depressed medians 40 feet or less in width. D. Standard No. 2-2-A may be used in

trapezoidal toe ditches where the basin is located in a rural area. The basin should also be located outside the design clear zone or behind guardrail where the protruding feature of the basin is not objectionable. The capacity of the side inlet catch basin window, for unsubmerged conditions, may be determined by the standard weir equation:

Q=CLH3/2

where C is a weir coefficient, generally 3.0, L is the length of opening in feet, H is the distance from the bottom of the window to the surface of the design flow in feet. The catch basin grate is considered as an access point for the storm sewer and its capacity to admit flow is ignored for continuous grades.

E. Standard No. 2-2-B should be used where

minor, nonclogging flows are involved such as yard sections and the small triangular area created by the guardrail treatment for a depressed median at bridge terminals. Standard No. 2-3 through No. 2-6 catch basins should be provided where a larger base is required to accommodate pipes larger than 18 inches in span or sewer junctions, or where a No. 2-2-B catch basin will not provide adequate access to the sewer.

F. In urban areas, Standard Side Ditch Inlets

should be used to drain small areas of trapped water behind curbs and/or between driveways.

1102.3.5 Calculated Catch Basin Spacing

Catch basins must be provided to intercept flow from open water carriers when the depth of flow


January 2006 11-7

or velocity exceeds the maximum allowable for the design storm for all highway classifications. The standard ditch catch basins, designated Catch Basin No. 4, Catch Basin No. 5, and Catch Basin No. 8, include an earth dike. The dike is approximately 12 inches above the flowline of the grate, immediately downstream from the catch basin and serves to block the flow on continuous grades and create a sump condition. When the calculated depth of flow or velocity exceeds the maximum allowable at the checkpoint in the ditch, a catch basin or ditch lining will be required. However, the capacity of the catch basin may be less than the capacity of the ditch and thereby control the catch basin spacing. Figure 1102-1 may be used to check the capacity of a catch basin grate in a sump. To use Figure 1102-1, the calculated discharge at the ditch checkpoint shall be doubled to compensate for possible partial clogging of the grate. In cut sections, the accumulated ditch flow shall be carried as far as the capacity, allowable depth, or velocity of flow will permit. The first catch basin in the roadside or median ditch will determine the need for a storm sewer system required for the remainder of the cut. Velocity control should be extended as far as inexpensive flexible ditch linings will permit. Consideration should also be given to providing positive outlets for underdrains and providing access to longitudinal sewer systems when locating ditch catch basins. 1102.3.6 Arbitrary Maximum Catch Basin Spacing

Catch basins are required at the low point of all sags and the earth dike noted in Section 1102.3.5 shall be omitted. The maximum distance between catch basins in depressed medians in fill sections shall be as shown in Table 1102-4. Where underdrains are utilized, catch basins shall be provided at a maximum spacing of 1000 feet [300 meters] (500 feet [150 meters] with free draining base) to provide a positive outlet for underdrains. Table 1102-4

1102.4 Ditch Design Criteria - Design Traffic of 2000 ADT or Less


A 5-year frequency storm shall be used to determine the depth of flow, and a 2-year frequency to determine the shear stress of flow and width of ditch lining, where needed. The depth of flow shall be limited to an elevation 9 inches below the edge of pavement for the design discharge. The depth of flow in toe of slope ditches shall be further limited such that the design year discharge does not overtop the ditch bank. The minimum width of lining shall be in accordance with Section 1102.3.1. 1102.4.2 Shear Stress Protection

Shear stress protection shall be in accordance with 1002.3.2 except that a 2-year frequency event shall be used. 1102.4.3 Roughness

The roughness used for the hydraulic analysis shall be based on the Manning's Roughness Coefficient values shown in Table 1102-3. 1102.4.4 Catch Basin Types

Standard No. 5 Catch Basins, No. 2-2-A Catch Basin (within their safety limitations as discussed in Section 1102.3.4(D)) and No. 2-2-B Catch Basins should be considered for the lower ADT highways. Standard No. 4 Catch Basins should be used where additional capacity is required. 1102.5 Design Aids for Ditch Flow Analysis

1102.5.1 Earth Channel Charts

Standard radius roadside ditch charts have been prepared, based on the Manning’s equation, to facilitate the hydraulic analysis of ditch flow and are included in the Drainage Design Aids. Some of the more commonly used trapezoidal channel charts are also included. Other trapezoidal channel charts (with 2:1 - 2:1 side slopes and bottom widths varying from 2 feet to 20 feet are available in the Federal Highway Administration publication referenced in section 1102.2.2.


11-8 January 2006

All earth channel charts have been prepared using a Manning's Coefficient of Roughness of 0.03, which is recommended for a seed lining (Construction and Material Specifications Item 659). Qn and Vn scales have been included on all channel charts so that the channel flow may be analyzed for any value of “n” depending on the roughness of the channel or lining. 1102.5.2 Rectangular Channel Charts

Vertical side channel charts that can be used to analyze the open channel flow in box culverts are included in the Federal Highway Administration publication “Design Charts for Open Channel flow,” previously referred to. 1103 Pavement Drainage

1103.1 General

When curbs are provided at the edge of pavement or paved shoulder, (primarily in urban areas), it is necessary to determine the proper type of pavement inlet (or catch basin) to control the spread of water and depth of flow on the pavement. Present day geometric design has resulted in relatively flat transverse and longitudinal pavement slopes. These slopes require more pavement inlets (or catch basins) and consequently result in an appreciable increase in the drainage cost. To alleviate the above, where curb is permissible, standard curb and gutter should be used adjacent to the pavement. Where standard curb and gutter cannot be provided, the outside lanes of a muli-lane pavement should maintain a transverse slope of 1/4 inch per foot (0.02). If paved shoulders are provided, the drainage cost will be decreased appreciably due to the large volume of flow that can be carried on the pavement shoulder without exceeding the allowable depth of 1 inch below the top of curb or a maximum of 5 inches; a maximum depth of 6 inches is permissible where a barrier shape is provided adjacent to the pavement. A pavement drainage computation sheet similar to that provided in the Appendix shall be used to perform or summarize necessary computations. Additional information concerning pavement drainage can be obtained from the Federal Highway Administration Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 22, "Urban Drainage Design Manual."

1103.2 Design Frequency

Pavement inlets (or catch basins) shall be spaced to limit the spread of flow on the traveled lane (considered to be 12 feet wide) as shown in Table 1103-1. The allowable spread may be increased slightly for streets carrying predominantly local traffic and with design speeds less than 45 mph. Design shall be based upon the following frequencies: Freeways . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 YearsHigh volume highways (over 6000 ADT Rural or 9000 ADT Urban) . . . 5 Years

All other highways . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Years For underpasses or other depressed roadways where ponded water can be removed only through the storm sewer system, the spread shall be checked for a 50-year storm for Freeways and high volume highways as defined above, and for a 25-year storm for other highways. The ponding will be permitted to cover all but one through lane of a multiple lane pavement. The depth of flow at the curb shall not exceed 1 inch below the top of the curb for the design discharge regardless of the type of highway. A maximum depth of 6 inches is permissible where a barrier shape is provided adjacent to the pavement. Table 1103-1

Allowable Pavement Spread Freeways 0 feet

High Volume Highways (Over 6000 ADT rural or 9000 ADT urban)

High Speed ($45 mph) 4 feet

Low Speed (< 45mph) 2 lanes 6 feet $4 lanes 8 feet All other Highways 2 lanes 6 feet

$4 lanes 8 feet

1103.3 Estimating Design Discharge

Runoff contributing to curbed pavements shall be estimated by the rational method, as explained in Sections 1101.2.2, 1101.2.3 and 1101.2.4. The time of concentration “tc” shall be the actual time of concentration calculated according to Section 1101.2.2 with an absolute minimum time of 10 minutes. In urban areas, where justifiable (e.g. contributing drainage area would be difficult to determine), the


January 2006 11-9

“strip method” may be used to determine contributing drainage areas. The strip method assumes a contributing drainage area of 150 feet taken on each side of the roadway centerline. 1103.4 Capacity of Pavement Gutters

A pavement gutter has a right triangular shape, with the curb forming the vertical leg and the straight pavement slope, the gutter plate of a curb and gutter, or a paved shoulder forming the hypotenuse. A standard curb and gutter adjacent to a straight pavement slope, or paved shoulder, forms a composite gutter section which complicates the flow analysis. In most cases, the top width of the water surface in a pavement gutter far exceeds the height of the curb. The hydraulic radius does not accurately describe the gutter cross section in this situation, thereby requiring a modification to the Manning’s equation to analyze the gutter flow. The accepted modification results in the following equation:

Q = 0.56 Z S1/2 d8/3

n

where: Q = Discharge in cubic feet per second

Z = Reciprocal of the pavement cross

n = Manning’s Coefficient of Roughness

(Table 1102-3)

s = Longitudinal pavement slope

d = Depth of flow in gutter section at curb in feet

Figure 1103-1 provides a graphical solution for the above equation and its use is comparatively simple for straight transverse pavement slopes. However, the use of the nomograph to determine depth of flow at the curb and resulting spread on the pavement for composite sections is much more involved. 1103.5 Pavement Flow Charts

Charts have been prepared for the more commonly used curbed pavement typical sections, and they are included in the Drainage Design Aids. The charts are particularly helpful for determining the flow for composite pavement

sections where the spread can be read directly from the appropriate Pavement Flow Chart. To use the charts, enter with a predetermined design discharge (total flow) Qt in the gutter in cubic feet per second and proceed vertically to intersect the longitudinal gutter slope line. At that intersection, read the spread in feet shown on the diagonal spread lines. The spread of flow will generally control the pavement inlet or catch basin spacing, where the transverse and longitudinal slope of the pavement is relatively flat. The above is prevalent in long flat sag vertical curves, where a flanking inlet (or catch basin) should arbitrarily be provided on both sides of the low point in a pavement sag. This is particularly so for Freeways. Three inlets or catch basins in a sag can be justified only on the basis of need for other highway classifications. Usually a Standard 6 foot pavement inlet or No. 3A catch basin will be adequate, and they should be placed where the grade elevation is approximately 0.20 feet higher than at the low point. Furnish a CB-No. 3 at the sump. Inlets or catch basins should arbitrarily be placed upstream of all intersections, bridges and pedestrian ramps. When justified, inlets (or catch basins) should be located a minimum of 10 feet off drive aprons, intersection return radii, pedestrian ramps or curb termini. 1103.6 Bypass Charts for Continuous Pavement Grades

Bypass charts are included for the standard pavement inlets and catch basins in the Drainage Design Aids. Bypass for a given structure can be read directly from the chart (At the intersection of the spread, determined in Section 1103.5, and the longitudinal gutter slope, read the bypass flow Qb on the abscissa). Experience has proven that, for greater efficiency, inlets should be sized to bypass a minimum of 10% to 15% of the design discharge. This criterion should be used to determine the type or length of inlet to be used in a given location. It is not intended to establish the required spacing. The most efficient design maintains the allowable spread on continuous grades and at the sag. The bypass for a catch basin or inlet should be added to the total flow in the adjacent downstream gutter section.


11-10 January 2006

1103.6.1 Curb Opening Inlets

The flow bypassing a standard curb opening inlet, for pavement transverse slopes or combination of slopes differing from the charts included in the Drainage Design Aids, may be obtained from Figure 1103-2. The use of curb opening inlets should be avoided where bicycle traffic is expected. 1103.6.2 Grate or Combination Grate and Curb Opening Inlet

The standard pavement catch basin in this category is considered to intercept all the flow over the grate when used on continuous grades. A portion of the flow outside of the edge of the grate will also be intercepted, the amount varying with the depth of flow “y” along the edge of the grate. The depth “y” can be determined from Figure 1103-1, and the resulting flow spilling over the edge of the grate from Figure 1103-2, using a ½ inch local depression for straight transverse pavement slopes, or no local depression for a composite gutter section. The curb opening of a combination catch basin on a continuous grade will admit some flow, particularly if there is a partial clogging of the grate; however, the additional capacity should be considered as a factor of safety only. 1103.7 Grate Catch Basins and Curb Opening Inlets In Pavement Sags

The spread determined from the pavement flow charts need not be checked any closer than 25 to 50 feet on either side of the sag, well beyond the limits of the local depression. The spread in the sag should be determined from the depth of flow at the edge of grate using Figure 1103-3 and should include the total flow (contributions from each side of the sag vertical curve) reaching the inlet or catch basin. Standard No. 3 catch basins should be used in pavement sags. The capacity of the grates to admit flow is based on the depth of ponding around the grates. The capacity of the grates shown in Figure 1103-3 is based on weir flow over the edge of the grate, up to a depth of 0.4 feet. For greater depths, the total area of grate opening is considered, with no deduction made for possible clogging. When evaluating the spread in a depressed sag for a 25-year or 50-year event, the capacity of the window shall be considered. This capacity may be obtained from Figure 1103-4. The curb opening capacity should be added to the grate capacity for submerged conditions.

Where the low point of a sag vertical curve occurs in a drive, a No. 6 catch basin should be provided at the low point with flanking No. 3A catch basins as per Section 1103.5. No. 6 catch basins may be used along curbed roadways and medians provided that the grate capacity is not exceeded. 1104 Storm Sewers

1104.1 General

Storm sewer systems are designed to collect and carry storm water runoff from the first pavement or ditch inlet, or catch basin to the predetermined outlet. (Further reference to inlets infers either inlets or catch basins). Long cut sections often result in the need for longitudinal trunk sewers to accept the flow from a series of inlets. The proper location of a sewer outlet is quite important. Existing drainage patterns should be perpetuated insofar as practicable. Careful consideration should be given to the possibility of actionable damage for the diversion of substantial volumes of flow. Long fill sections requiring median or pavement drains may best be served by transverse sewers that outlet independently at the toe of fill ditch. Storm sewer systems shall be sized to convey the current flow from areas naturally contributing to the highway or from intercepting existing storm sewers. Storm sewer systems may be oversized at the request of a local government entity to convey flow from areas beyond those considered highway responsibility or increased flows from anticipated development with the approval of the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. The additional cost to construct the increased sized storm sewer system will be the responsibility of the local government. The proration of project funds and local government funds will be determined from estimated construction costs. The project funding participation will be determined as a percentage of the total cost of the affected plan items. The percentage will be computed by dividing the estimated cost to construct a highway responsibility system only by the estimated cost to construct the oversized system. The affected plan items and participation percentage will be noted in the plan general summary. Type B conduit shall be specified for storm sewers under pavement, paved shoulders and commercial or industrial drives and Type C conduits for storm sewers beyond those limits.


January 2006 11-11

However, the type of conduit shall not be changed for a short run of conduit which would ordinarily require a change in conduit type. As an example of the above, Type B should be used for a transverse conduit that is required to drain an earth median catch basin in an embankment section under the pavement to a point approximately 10 feet from the embankment slope. A concrete collar, as per Standard Construction Drawing DM-1.1, should be provided to connect the Type B and a Type F Conduit, located back of, and parallel to, the embankment slope. Type F conduit, 707.05 or 707.21 Type C, shall be provided for the pipe specials required to negotiate the bend at the top and bottom of the embankment. The Construction and Material Specifications stipulate the permissible pipe shapes and materials. Storm sewer designs will be based on round pipe, and the choice of the permissible material types for the conduit specified will be the contractor’s option. Extensions of existing pipes should typically be made using like kind material. The length of conduit to be paid for will be the actual number of linear feet, measured from center-to-center of appurtenant small structures. No deduction will be made for catch basins, inlets or manholes that are 6 feet or less across, measured in the direction of flow. 1104.2 Design Considerations

1104.2.1 Storm Sewer Depth

From a cost standpoint, it is desirable to keep a storm sewer system as shallow as possible, consistent with the following controls: A. A minimum cover of 9 inches from the top of

a rigid pipe to the bottom of the pavement subbase (12 inches to 24 inches for a flexible pipe, see Section 1008).

B. A minimum cover of at least 18 inches for

standard strength pipe, where permitted. C. A sufficient depth to permit the use of precast

inlets, catch basins and manholes. Refer to the Standard Construction Drawings for this information.

D. A sufficient depth to avoid interference with

existing utilities such as sanitary sewers, the grade of which cannot be changed.

E. A sufficient depth to provide a positive outlet for underdrains. It is desirable to maintain the underdrain outlet 12 inches above the flow line of the outlet structure with 6 inches as a minimum.

F. Sufficient slope to provide a desirable

minimum velocity of 3 feet per second, for self-cleansing. This velocity is calculated using the “just full” Manning’s Equation.

G. The crown of a smaller upstream pipe in a

longitudinal trunk sewer should match the crown of the adjacent downstream pipe.

Where proposed highway storm sewers or ditches will interfere with existing private drains carrying treated or untreated sanitary flow, the names and addresses of the affected property owners shall be submitted to the District Deputy Director. The above information shall be obtained well in advance of the Field Drainage Review so the appropriate provisions of Directive No. 22-A can be followed. 1104.2.2 Storm Sewer Access

Most standard catch basins and pavement inlets will provide sufficient access to small shallow sewers. Catch basin or pavement inlets can be used to negotiate changes in sewer sizes or minor horizontal or vertical direction changes within the size limitation of the structure, but more pronounced changes may require manholes. It may be necessary, or desirable to locate longitudinal trunk sewers away from the curb to provide for a utility strip between the curb and the sidewalk and to avoid a conflict with the underdrain system. This will require properly spaced manholes in the sewer line. Small sewers (under 36 inches in diameter) located under or near the edge of pavement, should be accessible at intervals not to exceed 300 feet. For sewers sized 36 to 60 inches manholes should be spaced every 500 feet maximum. Manholes should be provided every 750 to 1000 feet maximum for larger sewers. 1104.3 Layout Procedure

1104.3.1 Plan

A print of the plan sheets involved should be used to spot catch basins and inlets that are required to drain the project and satisfy maximum allowable depth and/or spread of flow. A strip map showing the delineated drainage area and


11-12 January 2006

topography is required. The map will provide the designer with a means of determining the drainage area and the weighted coefficient of runoff for the individual areas contributing flow to the required storm sewer system. 1104.3.2 Profile

A profile of the existing and proposed pavement or ground line over the proposed sewer location should be plotted. On the same profile, plot the locations of catch basins, inlets and manholes, along with a tentative storm sewer system. 1104.4 Storm Sewer Design Criteria


All storm sewers shall be sized to flow just full (i.e. depth of flow for maximum discharge) for a 10-year frequency storm. The size is determined by working downstream from the first sewer run. It will be acceptable to use a discharge of a more frequent occurrence if consistent with local policy (depending upon the design ADT of the roadway) or to avoid extensive replacement of an existing downstream drainage system. 1104.4.2 Hydraulic Grade Line

Starting at the storm sewer system outlet and working upstream, the elevation of the hydraulic grade line at the upper end of each sewer run should be determined using a 25-year frequency. It will be acceptable to use a discharge of a more frequent occurrence if consistent with local policy (depending upon the design ADT of the roadway) or to avoid extensive replacement of an existing downstream drainage system. Ordinarily, the hydraulic grade line will be above the top of the pipe, causing the system to operate under pressure. If, however, any run in the system does not flow full, (pipe slope steeper than the friction slope) the hydraulic grade line will follow the friction slope until it reaches the normal depth of flow in the steep run. From that point, the hydraulic grade line will coincide with the normal depth of flow until it reaches a run flatter than the friction slope for that run. The starting elevation for the hydraulic grade line determination should be the higher of either: the downstream tail water channel water surface elevation or (dc+D)/2 at the system outlet. Section 1105.6.1 The intensity “i” in the rational equation Q=CiA [Q=CiA/360] used to determine the check discharge (25-year frequency) shall be the same

for all sewer runs as that calculated for the last, or downstream run, in a continuous sewer system. The hydraulic grade line shall not exceed the following for any roadway with greater than 2000 ADT: A. 12 inches below the edge of pavement for

sections without curb. B. The elevation of a curb opening inlet or grate

elevation of a pavement catch basin. Consideration shall be given to a reduction in the design frequency and to more liberal hydraulic grade line controls for less important highways than those noted above. The check discharge, to determine the elevation of the hydraulic grade line for highways having depressed sags that must be drained by storm sewers, shall be based on a 50-year frequency. One directional lane of a multiple lane highway or one-half of a lane on a 2-lane highway should be passable when the sewer system is discharging the 50-year storm. Storm sewers for all highways shall satisfy a 50-year check to preclude flooding of buildings or extensive flooding of private property. If the hydraulic grade line exceeds the limits noted above, the controlling sewer size shall be increased. (These criteria are not intended to lower existing high water elevations) 1104.4.3 Coefficient of Runoff

The weighted coefficient of runoff shall be determined as explained in Section 1101.2.3 1104.4.4 Time of Concentration

The time shall be determined as explained in Section 1101.2.2. A minimum time of concentration of 15 minutes to the first ditch catch basin and 10 minutes to the first pavement inlet shall be used. The actual calculated time of concentration shall be used when values greater than these minimums occur.

1104.4.5 Pipe Roughness Coefficient

A Manning’s “n” of 0.015 shall be used for sewers 60 inches in diameter and under, and 0.013 for larger sewers. The basic “n” value for smooth pipe, concrete, vitrified clay, bituminous lined corrugated steel or thermoplastic is 0.012. The


January 2006 11-13

increased values are recommended for sewers to compensate for minor head losses incurred at catch basins, inlets and manholes located in a storm sewer system. 1104.4.6 Minimum Storm Sewer Pipe Size

A minimum pipe diameter of 15 inches shall be used for Freeways and Freeway ramps (Where an existing storm sewer is to remain in service, it is not necessary to replace, hydraulically adequate pipes to meet this criterion) and 12 inches for other highways. 1104.5 Hydraulic Design Procedure

With the layout suggested in Section 1104.3, start with the upper catch basin or inlet and determine the value of CA for the contributing flow (CA is the product of the weighted coefficient of runoff and the drainage area). Next, determine the time of concentration for the first area and the corresponding rainfall intensity “i” from the proper curve shown on Figure 1101-2. The design discharge “Q” to use to determine the required size of the first sewer from MH No. 1 to MH No. 2 is the product of Ca x i [0.0028CA x i]. At manhole No. 2, determine the value of CA for the additional area contributing at that point and add to the CA for MH No. 1. Compute the time of flow in the storm sewer from MH No.1 to MH No. 2 in minutes and add to the time of concentration at MH No. 1. Check the time of concentration for the area contributing to MH No. 2, and use the larger of the two as the duration for the new value of rainfall intensity for computing the design flow from MH No. 2 to MH No. 3. It is obvious that the process is quite involved, and a storm sewer computation sheet similar to that provided in the Appendix shall be used to tabulate the required information. The calculations for lateral connections to the longitudinal trunk sewer should be tabulated separately from the trunk sewer calculations. 1105 Roadway Culverts

1105.1 General

A culvert generally carries a natural stream under the highway embankment. The culvert horizontal and vertical alignment matches the natural channel horizontal and vertical alignment. Ensure the upstream invert is not below the natural channel unless the culvert has depressed inverts,

a paved depressed approach apron, or an improved inlet. Optimum culvert design (i.e., best hydraulic performance and least environmental impacts) occurs when the roadway alignment is normal to the flow in the channel and is located on a relatively straight and stable section of the channel. Roadway alignment needs to be considered early in the design process to provide optimum culvert design. The proposed roadway should avoid stream confluences. Culverts should not be placed on skews in excess of 45º or as further limited in Section 1008. A single-cell round pipe should be the designer’s first choice. In cases where required cover or discharge precludes a round pipe, consideration should be given to a single-cell elliptical concrete, metal pipe-arch, prefabricated box culvert or three-sided structure, in order of preferred use. For justification of multiple cell culverts, see Section 1105.2.4. Culvert location should perpetuate existing drainage patterns insofar as practicable. Diversion of substantial volumes of flow requires consideration of possible actionable damage. 1105.2 Stream Protection

Stream protection ensures the stream will not degrade due to incision caused by down-cutting, or head-cutting. Stream protection best management practices (BMP) are as follows:

• Bankfull discharge design • Depressed culvert inverts • Flood plain culverts • Multiple cell culverts • Paved depressed approach apron • Improved inlets • Energy control structures

Provide stream protection BMP for all culverts. Each BMP has use restrictions. 1105.2.1 Bankfull Discharge Design

Culverts that are required to convey the bankfull discharge will match the existing channel conditions with the proposed channel conditions. All culverts require a bankfull discharge design except for those culverts that meet any of the following conditions:

• The culvert is a replacement structure.


11-14 January 2006

• The culvert is 30" in diameter or rise, or less.

• The culvert is not covered under a

Nationwide Permit Number 14 This BMP will ensure existing stream channel conditions are maintained. If multiple cell culverts are provided, ensure only one culvert conveys the bankfull discharge. Place the invert of additional culverts at the water surface elevation generated by the bankfull discharge. Use the following design steps when performing a bankfull discharge design:

1. Determine the bankfull discharge using USGS report 2005-5153, “Bankfull Characteristics of Ohio Streams and Their Relation To Peak Streamflows”. Use the regression equation that utilizes USGS map-based explanatory variables. The report can be obtained from USGS at: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2005/5153/.

2. Determine the culvert size from traditional

culvert hydraulic design. 3. Depress the culvert invert if required (see

section 1105.2.2). 4. Determine the depth of flow for the pre-

developed channel using the bankfull discharge at: 25 feet before the culvert entrance and 25 feet beyond the culvert exit.

5. Determine the depth of flow for the post-

developed condition using the bankfull discharge at the same locations in step 5.

6. Compare the depth of flow from step 4 to

step 5. Increase the culvert rise until the flow depth in step 5 is lower than or equal to the flow depth in step 4.

7. Add flood plain culverts if required (see

section 1105.2.3).

8. Determine if the culvert meets the required hydraulic design. Upsize the culvert as required.

The proposed culvert will minimize the impact to the stream channel by closely matching the existing depth of flow with the proposed depth of flow for the bankfull discharge.

Determine the depth of flow for the bankfull discharge by one of the following methods:

• A standard step-backwater water-surface profile model such as HEC-RAS using field-obtained stream cross-sections

• Mannings equation using field-obtained

stream cross-sections. 1105.2.2 Depressed Culvert Inverts

All culverts are required to have depressed inverts except for those that meet any of the following conditions:

• The culvert is a replacement structure. • The culvert does not convey a water of

the United States. • The culvert conveys an ephemeral

stream. • The culvert is 30" in diameter or rise, or

less. • The culvert is not covered under a

Nationwide Permit Number 14. • The culvert has a natural channel bottom

(3-sided precast structure). This BMP will produce a natural channel bottom within the culvert. The natural channel bottom provides a substrate for passage of migratory species. The depressed culvert will fill naturally, such that the channel bed in the culvert will be continuous with the adjacent channel sections. Use the following design steps when designing depressed culvert inverts:

1. Determine the culvert size from traditional culvert hydraulic design.

2. Increase the culvert rise or diameter by

one size.

3. Depress the culvert per table 1105-2.

4. Determine if the culvert meets the required hydraulic design. Upsize the culvert as required.


January 2006 11-15

End treatments consist of Item 601 Riprap, 6” Reinforced Concrete Slab with a cutoff wall on both inlet and outlet ends. The slab shall slope up at a 6:1 from the invert to the channel bottom and terminate with a cutoff wall that has a depth of 6” below the depression depth. See standard drawing HW-2.1 for details. Depress the culvert invert per the following table: Table 1105-2

Type A Conduit Invert Depression

Pipe Diameter or Rise Depression <36” None

36”-60” 6” 66”-120” 12”

126”-180” 18” 186”-252” 24”

>252” 30” Modifications to the standard headwalls are not necessary for the depression depths noted above. 1105.2.3 Flood Plain Culverts

All culverts are required to have flood plain culverts except for those that meet any of the following conditions:

• The culvert is a replacement structure. • The flood plain width is less than two (2)

times the width produced by the bankfull discharge design.

• The culvert does not convey a water of




Nationwide Permit Number 14. Flood plain culverts are used to minimize the effects of a single culvert within a wide flood plain. The installation of a single culvert can concentrate the flow. Flood plain culverts will reduce the concentrated flow by reducing the hydraulic load of the single culvert by spreading the discharge throughout the flood plain. Flood plain culverts are installed adjacent to the single culvert. Place flood plain culvert inverts at

the water surface elevation that is generated by the bankfull discharge design. Locate the flood plain culverts within the flood plain at a location well beyond the single culvert. Provide a minimum of two flood plain culverts. Flood plain culverts are not hydraulically designed or accounted for in the hydraulic design of the single culvert. Use Figure 1002-1 (“other” column) to determine the required diameter. The line and grade of the culvert should approximate that of the natural flood plain. 1105.2.4 Multiple Cell Culverts

A single-cell culvert should be the designer’s first choice within practical limitations. If flood plain culverts are provided, do not use multiple cell culverts. Occasionally, low headwater requirements, high fills, or bankfull design will create the need for multiple cells. For these cases, it is desirable to limit the number of cells to two. Experience has proven that multiple cells well aligned with a relatively straight channel, will operate satisfactory. However, a bend in the immediate upstream channel may cause the inside cell to collect debris during normal periods of runoff and thereby substantially reduce the capacity of the culvert. 1105.2.5 Paved Depressed Approach Apron

Culverts may require a paved depressed approach apron. Do not provide a paved depressed approach apron for the following:

• The culvert is a replacement structure. • The culvert is 30" in diameter or rise, or


Nationwide Permit Number 14. • Natural channel bottom structure (3-sided

precast structure). • The culvert inverts are depressed.

This BMP will improve the operation of the culvert by depressing the flowline at the entrance below the channel flowline. The drop-down will alleviate a minimum cover condition, provide for additional headwater depth, and decrease the culvert outlet velocity by reducing the culvert slope.


11-16 January 2006

The abrupt change in natural channel slope is effected with a short length of concrete paving. The dimensions of the slab are site specific. However, for ease of construction, a 2:1 downslope (4:1 preferred) should be used as the maximum descending slope. A 3 foot length of paving should be provided along the natural channel slope prior to the drop-down. A cut-off wall must be provided at the upstream end. Drop-down entrances should generally be limited to 4 feet, or one pipe diameter or rise, whichever is greater. The Federal Highway Administration has conducted extensive research and studies of paved depressed approach aprons, and recommended design procedures are included in Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 5, "Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts." 1105.2.6 Improved Inlets

Culverts may require an improved inlet. Do not provide an improved inlet for the following:

• The culvert is a replacement structure. • The culvert does not convey a water of




Nationwide Permit Number 14. • Natural channel bottom structure (3-sided

precast structure)

• The culvert inverts are depressed. • Paved drop-down culvert entrance

This BMP will improve the operation of the culvert by depressing the flowline at the entrance below the channel flowline. The drop-down will alleviate a minimum cover condition, provide for additional headwater depth, and decrease the culvert outlet velocity by reducing the culvert slope. Two general types of inlets should be considered in the following order: Culverts on relatively steep slopes and controlled by inlet control can see a reduction in the culvert size by furnishing an improved inlet. The

improved inlet will control the headwater by the entrance configuration for a given barrel size. A. Side-taper, which is a tapered end section

from a round to an oval shape for a pipe, or a square to a rectangular shape for a prefabricated box. The length of the taper section is usually made 1.5 times the diameter or rise of the culvert.

B. Slope-taper, which is a combination of side-

taper preceded by a drop in the culvert flow line. The drop can be similar to a paved drop-down entrance or a more sophisticated reinforced concrete drop provided by a formed cast-in-place section with vertical sides.

The improved inlet has the advantage of admitting more flow and thereby tending to fill the culvert barrel and reduce the culvert outlet velocity. The savings in culvert cost must justify the additional cost of the improved inlet. The Federal Highway Administration has conducted extensive research and studies of improved inlets, and recommended design procedures are included in Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 13, "Hydraulic Design of Improved Inlets for Culverts." 1005.2.7 Energy Control Structures

All culverts are required to have an energy control structure. An energy control structure reduces the amount of erosive energy generated by a culvert. Use the following for an energy control structure:

• Broken-Back Culvert • Rock Channel Protection • Energy dissipater (Riprap Basin) • Drop Structure

An energy dissipater is required when the outlet velocity exceeds the values shown in Figure 1107-1. Energy dissipaters create a forced hydraulic jump within the structure or immediately downstream of the structure, thus reducing the flow velocity. FHWA Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 14 provides design guidance and procedures for various energy dissipaters. The preferred energy dissipater is the riprap basin. Contact Central Office Hydraulics prior to using an energy dissipater.


January 2006 11-17

1105.3 Types of Culvert Flow

Laboratory tests sponsored by the FHWA have established two general types of culvert flow: (1) flow with inlet control, or (2) flow with outlet control. Nomographs have been prepared for use in the determination of culvert headwater for the appropriate control. Under inlet control, the headwater “HWI” is directly related to the cross-sectional area of the culvert barrel and the inlet geometry. Under outlet control, the headwater “HWO” is further influenced by tailwater depth in the outlet channel and the slope, length and roughness of the culvert barrel. As shown in Figure 1105-1, culverts operate with a free water surface if the headwater is equal to or less than 1.2D, and with a submerged entrance if the headwater is greater than 1.2D, where D is the diameter or rise of the pipe. 1105.4 Design Procedure

1105.4.1 General

The design of a culvert involves a determination of the appropriate design and check discharges. The process begins with a delineation of the drainage area, in acres [hectares], on a suitable topographic map. The design discharge “Q” for most culvert drainage areas will be obtained by procedures described in USGS Reports 89-4126 and 93-135, applying the limitations covered in Section 1003.1.2 of this manual. The Rational method should be used to obtain the discharge from small and other unusual drainage areas as noted in Section 1101.2.2 A representative cross-section of the embankment at the proposed culvert site, along with a profile of the natural stream or ground line, will be required to determine the approximate length and slope of the culvert. 1105.4.2 Hydraulic Analysis

The hydraulic analysis of a culvert, including a determination of the headwater depth and outlet velocity for the design discharge, is simplified by the use of Pipe Flow Charts and the headwater and head nomographs noted in Section 1105.4. The charts are included with the Drainage Design Aids, beginning with Figure 1100-200.

To preclude the need for a determination of the probable type of flow under which a culvert will operate for a given set of conditions, the headwater depths may be computed using the nomographs for both inlet and outlet control. The size of pipe is then selected by using the control giving the higher headwater limitation. The relationship of the headwater to the diameter or height of the culvert “HW/D” is read directly from the inlet control nomograph and the HWI equals that value multiplied by D. HWO is computed by the equation HWO=H+ho - SoL. The loss of head “H” is read from the flowing-full nomograph and the tailwater depth “ho”, is the greater of either the normal depth of flow in the outlet channel or the depth as flow passes through the outlet of the pipe, calculated as (dc+D)/2. D is the diameter or rise of the culvert and dc is the critical depth of flow which may be read from the critical depth curve shown on each Pipe Flow Chart. The above procedure is reasonably accurate for the majority of culvert flow conditions. For culverts operating with outlet control (see Figure 1105-1, Class 1-A and 1-B), where the calculated headwater (using the appropriate nomograph) is less than 0.75D, a backwater analysis can be justified and is recommended. A culvert analysis sheet similar to that provided in the Appendix shall be used to tabulate all the pertinent factors required to determine the controlling headwater for each culvert type being considered for a given location. The analysis sheet includes other information valuable to the reviewer and it is to be included with other supporting data for required review submissions. Hydraulic analysis of culverts may also be performed utilizing the Federal Highway Administration Hydraulic Design Series No. 5, Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts. Computer programs such as FHWA HY-8 or ODOT’s CDSS software package may be used. CDSS may be downloaded from the Hydraulics website. For replacement projects, an analysis of the existing structure shall be performed. If appropriate (usually depending upon whether the structure is operating with a free water surface at its entrance), it is preferable that the same analysis method be used to compare the existing and proposed structures. For bridge replacements, acceptable methods of hydraulic analyses are listed numerically in preferred order as follows (the limitations of the method used shall be investigated prior to selecting it for use):

To determine the loss of head “H” for a given concrete pipe culvert with a grove-end entrance and discharge “Q”, proceed as follows: By straight line, connect culvert size with ke=0.2 (length scale) and obtain a point on the turning line. Connect the turning line point with the computed discharge “Q” and read the head loss “H”. Follow the same procedure for a corrugated metal pipe except using ke=0.9 (length scale). The ke value for additional shapes can be found in the Federal Highway Administration publication referenced in Section 1105.3.1. Should the roughness coefficient “n” of the proposed pipe differ from that shown on the chart, adjust the measured culvert length by the length factor given on Design Aid Figure 1100-247. For an example, see Drainage Design Aid Figure 1100-247. The Federal Highway Administration publication referenced in Section 1105.3.1 offers nomographs for culvert shapes not available in the Drainage Design Aids. Their use is recommended for special culvert shapes. 1105.5.2 Inlet Control

To determine the headwater “HW” for a given discharge “Q”, size and type of culvert, proceed as follows using appropriate Figures 1100-245, 1100-246 (Drainage Design Aids). Use Figure 1100-245 for a round corrugated metal pipe culvert and Figure 1100-246 for a round smooth-lined pipe culvert. By a straight line, connect the culvert size with the discharge “Q”, extend a diagonal line to Scale (1) and thence by horizontal line to Scale (3). Based on a groove-end entrance and a Standard HW-2.1 headwall recommended for concrete pipe culverts, the HW/D relationship is obtained by an average of the (2) and (3) Scale values. Follow the same procedure for a corrugated metal pipe with a Standard HW-2.2 headwall, where HW/D is the average values read from Scales (1) and (3).

Use Scale (2) for the HW/D relationship for concrete box culverts. 1105.6 Design Criteria


The design frequency shall be as stated in Section 1004.2 It should be noted that a Flood Hazard Evaluation using a check discharge based on the 100-year flood frequency shall be made for all culverts as noted in Section 1005.2.1. 1105.6.2 Maximum Allowable Headwater

1105.6.10 Headwall Type

See Section 1106.2 1105.6.11 Contacts With County Engineer

Contact shall be made with the County Engineer at the beginning of the design process to ascertain ditch cleanout grades and watersheds, and the design shall be based on that information. Form LD-33 (available in the Appendix) shall be used to document approval. 1105.6.12 Minimum Pipe Size

As specified in Section 1002.3.1 1105.7 Special Considerations

The following are special conditions that will be encountered in the hydraulic design of culverts that warrant clarification. 1105.7.1 Tailwater

Tailwater at a culvert outlet can greatly affect the size of culvert required at a specific site. For this reason a proper evaluation shall be made of the outlet channel so that a reasonable estimate of the tailwater can be calculated. A determination of the normal depth of flow in the outlet channel, when the culvert is discharging the design flow, normally establishes the culvert tailwater. A close examination of the downstream channel may however, reveal a temporary or permanent obstruction that will control the operation of the culvert. In some cases, the culvert will outlet near a river or other fluctuating water surface stream that could control its operation. Where that drainage area of the culvert is very much less than the receiving watercourse (i.e. 2 orders of magnitude) the effect of the receiving watercourse generally may be disregarded.

Where the drainage areas of the culvert and receiving watercourse are nearly equal, concurrent flood peaks may be assumed. Where there is a significant, but not excessive, difference in the drainage area of the culvert and receiving stream, the following design procedure should be used and the culvert sized using the combination that results in the highest headwater. A. Compute the culvert headwater using the

proper design frequency for the culvert and a lesser frequency for the receiving stream water surface elevation (i.e. culvert tailwater elevation) depending upon the difference in drainage areas; say a 25-year culvert and a 10-year stream.

B. Use 10-year frequency for the culvert and 25-

year for the stream. In some locations, a high tailwater will control the operation of a culvert to such an extent that a substantial increase in pipe size will be required for a negligible decrease in the headwater elevation. For this case, the culvert size should be based on a practical tailwater elevation (e.g. [dc+D]/2). 1106 End Treatments

1106.1 General

Headwalls, or other approved end finishes, shall be provided at the open ends of all Type A, B and C conduits. Headwalls should also be provided for Type D conduits greater than 24 inches in diameter or rise. Generally, headwalls are not recommended for Type E and F conduits. In order to reduce the entrance loss in culverts, the bell end should be located upstream and the spigot end should be located downstream. Details shown in the plan should convey this to the Contractor when necessary. Figures 1106-2 and 1106-3 show typical end details for a concrete box culvert. 1106.1.1 Usage

The selection of the headwall type is based on safety and economics. Standard HW-2.1 and 2.2 half-height headwalls are recommended for round, elliptical, or pipe arch culverts where a clear zone is provided. Full height headwalls should be provided where a significant reduction


11-20 January 2006

in culvert length can be realized with large-span culverts (10 feet or greater) with foreslopes flatter than 2:1 or where right-of-way limits the culvert length. Full-height headwalls shall be provided for prefabricated box culverts and three-sided structures. The use of special end treatments may be required by Section 602.6 of Volume 1, Roadway Design. Details are available from the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering. Justification for the use of this type of end treatment shall accompany the request for details. Miter-cut (step-bevel) end sections, when required, shall be shown on the Culvert Detail Sheet. When half-height headwalls are provided, they should be built perpendicular to the end of the conduit to eliminate the need for a skew cut. In addition to the required headwall, the upper, or exposed, half of conduits having a diameter or rise greater than or equal to 126 inches shall be miter-cut (step-bevel) to fit the embankment slope. 1106.1.2 End Treatment Grading

The prevailing embankment slope shall be projected to the back edge of the top of the headwall to establish the required culvert length as shown in Figure 1106-1. When the roadway foreslopes are flatter than 2:1, a 2:1 slope shall be provided from the back edge of the top of the headwall to a minimum of 1 foot , with 2 feet preferred, above the top of the culvert. The change in embankment slope shall be warped on each side of the conduit to fit the prevailing slope. In no case shall the distance from the pavement edge to the point where the embankment slope changes to 2:1 be less than the design clear zone width (see Section 601, Volume 1, Roadway Design) unless guardrail is provided. Clear zone grading should only be provided at culverts when the requirements of Section 307.21 of Volume 1, Roadway Design are met. The prevailing embankment slope shall be warped on either side of a skewed culvert to assure equivalent soil loading and proper side support of the pipe. This is especially true for flexible pipes with large skews and/or large diameters.

1106.2 Headwall Types

1106.2.1 Half-Height Headwalls

If the size of the conduit exceeds that shown in the Standard Construction Drawing HW-2.1 and HW-2.2 tables, the dimensions shown in the tables may be expanded to accommodate the larger size conduits. Payment for half-height headwalls shall be on a cubic yard basis for Item 602, Concrete Masonry. Masonry quantities for standard half-height headwalls may be obtained from the appropriate standard construction drawing. The quantity of concrete masonry provided in the plans shall be based on the pipe alternate requiring the largest quantity of concrete masonry. 1106.2.2 Full-Height Headwalls

The appropriate full-height headwall for round pipes shown on Standard Construction Drawing HW-1.1 may be considered at the entrance end, when the savings in the reduced size and length of the conduit will offset the additional cost of the headwall. This will most likely apply where corrugated steel pipe is specified, due to cover or size requirements, and the bevel provided for the full-height headwall will substantially reduce the entrance loss. Dimensions of full-height headwalls may be expanded to accommodate pipe sizes larger than 84 inches. The design of full-height headwalls for box and 3-sided culverts shall be as per Section 300 of the Bridge Design Manual and the latest “AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.” Payment for non-standard full-height headwalls shall be on a cubic yard basis for Item 511, Class C Concrete. The Class C Concrete shall be further subdivided into individual pay items for Class C Concrete for Footing, Class C Concrete for Wingwall. Appropriate plan notes from Section 6 of the Bridge Design Manual shall be included in the project plans. An investigation of the supporting foundation material shall be conducted and the bearing capacity of the foundation material estimated. The level of detail required for the foundation investigation shall be commensurate with the importance of the structure. Such information shall be submitted for all proposed full-height headwall installations and submitted prior to the Stage 3 review.


January 2006 11-21

The inlet wingwall footings of full-height headwalls shall be armored with Type B rock channel protection, with filter, to preclude scour. 1106.3 Concrete Apron

A 5 foot length of 6 inch reinforced concrete riprap, as shown on Standard Construction Drawings HW-2.1 and HW-2.2, shall be specified beyond the outlet headwall, when the depth of the rock channel protection (if necessary), including the 6 inch granular filter, exceeds the depth of the headwall. Concrete riprap shall be provided at the inlet end of the culvert where the existing has been undercut. Concrete riprap shall be in accordance with Section 1105.6.3. Concrete riprap is not necessary at the inlet of culverts with full height headwalls that have a footing toe extending 3.5 feet or more below proposed channel grade. 1107 Rock Channel Protection

1107.1 General

Rock channel protection is used to control erosion at the outlet of culverts and storm sewers, or for lining ditches on steep grades. It is used as a scour countermeasure at the inlet wingwalls of full-height headwalls and along the footings of 3-sided structures. 1107.2 Types

There are four types of rock channel protection (RCP) that are used in various situations. The use of the proper type at culvert and storm sewer outlets can be determined from Figure 1107-1. Type A is generally used beyond the outlet of the larger conduits having outlet velocities in excess of 12 feet per second and Type B and C for conduits having an aggregate filter where the protected slope is steeper than 3:1. A filter should always be specified to prevent soil piping through the rock. A fabric filter is preferred in most cases. An aggregate filter should be used when the RCP is under water. The cost of the filter is included in the unit bid price for Item 601 Rock Channel Protection with Filter. 1108 Agricultural Drainage

1108.1 Farm Drain Crossings

Where it is necessary to continue an existing farm drain crossing under the highway, the pipe shall

be Type B Conduit, one commercial size larger than the existing farm drain within the right-of-way limits. Occasionally, it will be desirable to provide a farm drain crossing under a highway on new location to satisfy the future need for adequate farm drainage. It is recognized that the required length of a Type B Conduit will provide a betterment for the property owner, but it does preclude the need for a much more expensive crossing after the highway is built. Such a crossing is considered a “blind” and the cost of the installation, including suitable terminal markings at the right-of-way lines, will generally not be eligible for federal participation. 1108.2 Farm Drain Outlets

Existing farm drains that outlet through the backslope of the roadway ditch shall terminate with a minimum length of 10 feet of equivalent size Type F conduit. When outletting existing plastic farm drains, one size larger Type F conduit shall be used. An Animal Guard and Erosion Control Pad as shown on Standard Construction Drawing DM-1.1 shall be provided. To provide for possible sedimentation, the invert of the Type F conduit shall be a minimum of 6 inches, with 12 inches being desirable, above the ditch flow line. 1109 Longitudinal Sewer Location

1109.1 Under Pavement

Longitudinal sewers will not be permitted under the pavement of a limited or controlled access facility. Also, the length of transverse sewers under pavements shall be held to a minimum, with no manholes allowed in the pavement. For other facilities, storm sewers should be located outside the limits of the pavement. However, in locations where this would create conflicts with existing utilities (e.g. waterlines, sanitary sewers, gas lines, etc.) the storm sewer may be located under the pavement. Care should be taken to avoid placing manholes in vehicle wheel-paths or within an intersection. The center of the curb lane is the preferred manhole location. Where an out-to-out clearance of 5 feet cannot be provided between parallel storm and sanitary


11-22 January 2006

sewers, premium joints shall be provided on the storm sewer. 1109.2 Under Paved Shoulder

The above shall also apply to paved shoulder areas, unless it is determined that the cost of any other possible location is prohibitive. 1109.3 Approval

Exceptions to the above shall be submitted in the early stages of the design to the Hydraulic Section, Office of Structural Engineering for review and approval. 1110 Reinforced Concrete Radius Pipe and Box Sections

1110.1 General

To comply with the capabilities of manufacturers to provide satisfactory and economical radius pipe or box sections, a minimum radius of 100 feet shall be specified. The method of manufacturing the radius pipe or box sections will be an option of the producer, subject to inspection and approval by the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Materials Management. As an alternate to radius pipe, pipe specials may be specified to negotiate the specified radius, provided they do not reduce the hydraulic performance established by the initial design. The bends shall be located so that they shall closely follow the alignment of the radius pipe. 1111 Sanitary Sewers

1111.1 General

Any sanitary sewer, whether new or relocated, shall be constructed using resilient and flexible gasket joints, in accordance with Construction and Material Specification 706.11 for circular concrete pipe or 706.12 for clay pipe. Permissible thermoplastic pipes shall also be specified. Permits to discharge treated sanitary flow from abutting property into highway drainage systems shall be in accordance with Directive No. 22-A.

1111.2 Manholes

All new manholes for sanitary sewer lines shall be built in accordance with the Standard Construction Drawings. Precast manholes shall have joints in accordance with 706.11 of the Construction and Material Specifications. 1112 Notice of Intent (NOI)

1112.1 General

A NOI will be submitted by ODOT for all plans, which include Project Earth Disturbing Activities. Maintenance Projects, as defined by Section 1112.2, do not require a NOI. The Total Earth Disturbing Activity acreage should be estimated, which includes the Project Earth Disturbing Activity acreage (area within the work limits) and the Contractor Earth Disturbing Activity acreage such as: field offices, batch plants, and borrow/waste pits. The location and size of the Contractor Activities can be estimated using the NOI Acreage Calculation Form (Figure 1112-1). The calculated acreage’s shall be used for the Project Site Plan as required by Location and Design, Volume 3, section 1308. 1112.2 Maintenance Project

A Maintenance Project is one in which all of the Project Earth Disturbing Activities are routine operations that do not change the line, grade, or the hydraulic capacity of the facility and are limited to Earth Disturbance acreage less than 5 acres. Permanent erosion control items shall be included in the plans if required. Contact the Hydraulics Office for an approved list of activities. Post construction storm water best management practices are not required for maintenance projects that do not increase the impervious drainage area. 1113 Erosion Control at Bridge Ends

1113.1 General

For the purpose of reducing problems of erosion in the vicinity of bridge ends, details as shown on Standard Construction Drawing DM-4.1 shall be followed. At locations where the design flow


January 2006 11-23

exceeds 0.75 cubic feet per second, catch basins should generally be provided. 1113.2 Corner Cone

Item 670 Slope Erosion Protection shall be placed on all bridge approach embankment corner cones, beginning at the edge of the crushed aggregate or concrete slope protection. 1114 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

1114.1 General

A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for all projects that disturb more than one (total) acre. The plan should be developed as per Supplemental Specifications 832 and 833. The Contractor shall develop this plan after the contract is awarded and prior to any construction activity. The plan will be kept on-site for review at any time during construction. 1114.2 Objectives

The objective of the (SWPPP) is to reduce the impacts of construction runoff to the watershed. This is achieved by using perimeter and internal project controls to intercept sediment laden flows (temporary sediment and erosion controls). Point discharges leaving the site should be filtered through as many filtering controls as practicable. 1114.3 General Guidance

Temporary sediment and erosion control Items are specified in accordance with Supplemental Specification 832. Details are available in Standard Construction Drawings DM-4.2, DM-4.3 and DM-4.4. The size of the entire drainage area contributing flow to a roadside ditch and the ratio of disturbed to undisturbed area are used to determine the desired erosion control methods. In many cases, the major portion of the contributing area will be beyond the project right-of-way limits. For these cases it will be necessary to divert the off-project flow before it reaches the area disturbed by project construction. Flow from the area disturbed by construction shall be treated prior to combining it with off-project drainage.

For specific information on individual erosion control items, the Contractor should consult Supplemental Specification 832. General guidance for project usage is as follows: A. Ditch checks should be spaced so that no

check is within the backwater of a downstream check. A ditch check should be provided at a maximum spacing of 500 feet in addition to significant changes in ditch grade.

B. Where greater than two-thirds of the

contributing drainage area is disturbed by construction, sediment basins are more effective and should generally be specified. Where less than two-thirds of the total contributing drainage area is disturbed by construction, a temporary ditch, dike and/or slope drain should be provided to divert flow from undisturbed areas away from the new ditch to reduce sediment basin size, or necessitate ditch checks only for the remainder of the flow. If more appropriate for the specific site (e.g. fill areas in lieu of cut areas) the roadway or toe of slope ditch should be stabilized immediately upon construction and a bale dike or perimeter filter fabric fence should be place at the bottom of the disturbed slope as per Standard Construction Drawings DM-4.3 and DM-4.4. Sediment dams may be used to prevent ditch erosion until the permanent stabilization has been established. The specific size and location of these controls shall be shown on the plans.

C. Sediment dams or a series of sediment

basins may be specified. It is desirable to locate temporary controls within the permanent right-of-way. Dams and basins shall be designed in accordance with Standard Construction Drawings DM-4.3 and DM-4.4. For areas where less than one-half of the contributing drainage area is disturbed by construction, a temporary ditch, dike and/or slope drains or ditch stabilization and bale dikes should be provided. For areas where less than one-third of the contributing drainage area is disturbed by construction a temporary ditch, dike and/or slope drains or ditch stabilization and bale dikes should be provided. The specific size and location of these controls shall be shown on the plans. Sediment basins, ditch checks, etc. should be clearly shown in the roadway ditch prior to the receiving or crossing watercourse. These items should not be shown within the receiving or crossing watercourse.


11-24 January 2006

D. When the contributing drainage area is

excessive, the off-project drainage shall be diverted, or the following method shall be specified. The channel carrying the flow shall be stabilized immediately by a permanent or temporary lining and perimeter filter fabric fence shall be placed between the disturbed project area and the stabilized ditch. Sediment dams should be provided to prevent channel erosion until permanent channel stabilization has been established.

E. Where project drainage is not intercepted by

a project ditch, perimeter filter fabric fence shall be placed at the construction limits. The specific size and location of these controls shall be shown on the plans. The fence shall be placed just beyond the toe of slope of all sheet flow areas adjacent to live streams or other environmentally sensitive areas identified in the environmental documents regardless of the amount of grading involved.

F. Filter fabric fence (Inlet Protection) should be

placed around all catch basins and manholes (existing and proposed).

G. Perimeter Filter Fabric Fence or sediment basins shall be used to isolate the project from any adjacent live streams.

H. For highly erodible soil areas identified in the

environmental documents, any area cleared shall be brought to grade immediately and permanent erosion control measures called for on the plans shall be applied.

1114.3.1 Required Size of Sediment Basins

Sediment basins or dams shall provide a storage volume of 67 cubic yards per acre of total contributing drainage area (disturbed and non-disturbed), which is 0.5 inches of runoff or approximately a two-year frequency. The volume should be increased where discharge from the basin empties onto an environmentally sensitive area as identified in the environmental documents. Should the failure of a sediment dam pose a significant danger to downstream property, the spillway should be checked to assure safe passage of a 50-year frequency storm. In many cases, larger drainage areas will produce very large sediment basin requirements. Consideration should be given to divert flow prior to reaching the construction site in these cases.

1115 Post Construction Storm Water Structural Best Management Practices

1115.1 General

Post Construction Storm Water Structural Best Management Practices (BMP) are required for all projects within ODOT right-of-way that have ODOT maintenance responsibility and disturb 1 acre or more. Maintenance projects as outlined in section 1112.2 do not require BMP. A BMP is not required if there is no increase to the impervious area. Only provide a BMP in drainage areas that have an increase in impervious area. If discharging into a roadway ditch that conveys a captured stream, separate the drainage by using curbing. Treat impervious drainage area with a BMP. All BMP are located within ODOT right-of-way where ODOT has maintenance responsibility. Ensure all BMP are protected and located in accordance with Location and Design, Volume 1. All Type A culverts will have stream protection per section 1105 roadway culverts. 1115.2 Land Disturbance Limits

For projects with less than 1 acre of disturbance, post construction storm water management BMP are recommended. A BMP is not required when the drainage area is less than or equal to 0.25 acres when in a sump or at an intersection per figure 1116-1. The following BMP are provided to be used on all projects that have land disturbance more than 1 acre but less than 5 acres:

• Maximize typical roadway design that utilizes vegetated side slopes and ditches.

• Exfiltration trench • Manufactured systems

The following BMP are provided to be used on all projects that have land disturbance of 5 acres or more:

• Exfiltration trench • Manufactured systems


January 2006 11-25

• Vegetated Biofilter • Extended detention • Retention Basin • Bioretention Cell • Infiltration Trench • Infiltration Basin • Constructed Wetlands

1116 Water Quality Volume

1116.1 Water Quality Volume Calculation

The following equation shall be used to calculate the water quality volume:

WQv=(P*A*Cq)/12 Where,

WQv = Water Quality Volume (Ac-ft) P = Precipitation (0.75 inches) A = Contributing Drainage Area to an outfall (acres) Cq = 0.858i3-0.78i2+0.774i+0.04 (see figure 1116-2)

i=impervious area divided by the total area

Cq = 0.9 when all drainage area is impervious.

1116.2 WQv Weighted Average

A contributing drainage area to an outfall that has both existing and new impervious areas requires a weighted average calculation to determine the percent of treatment required. Existing impervious area requires treatment of 20% of the WQv. New impervious area requires treatment of 100% of the WQv. This percent is multiplied by the calculated WQv to determine the volume of treatment. Use the following equation to determine the percent of treatment: Treatment = [(Aix * 20)+(Ain * 100)] / (Aix+Ain)

Where,

Treatment= Treatment percent (%)

Aix= Existing impervious area (acres)

Ain= New impervious area (acres)

1116.3 Structural BMP Using the WQv

The water quality volume (WQv) is the treatment volume required for post construction BMP. Use the WQv for the following BMP:

• Exfiltration Trench • Vegetated Biofilter • Extended Detention • Retention Basin • Bioretention Cell • Infiltration Trench • Infiltration Basin • Constructed Wetlands

1117 Water Quality Flow

1117.1 Water Quality Flow Calculation

The water quality flow (WQf) is the discharge that is produced by using an intensity of 0.65 in/hr in the rational equation (section 1101.2.2). Use the entire contributing drainage for the WQf calculation. Once an area has been treated, remove this area from the next downstream WQf calculation. 1117.2 Structural BMP Using the WQf

Use the WQf for the following BMP:

• Manufactured System 1118 BMP Toolbox

1118.1 Exfiltration Trench

An exfiltration trench (ExT) captures roadway drainage at the outside edge of shoulder through the use of a permeable concrete pavement. The permeable concrete pavement is placed parallel to the roadway within a concrete structure. The ExT is placed 15 feet prior to any drainage inlet or pavement catch basin (see figure 1118-1). The ExT width is 8 inches wide and the length is determined by the following equation:

Lt = (A*Cq)/689

Where,

Lt= Required Impervious Length of Trench (ft) Use a minimum length of 4 feet Length is in increments of 4 feet


11-26 January 2006

A= Total Contributing Area (square feet) as determined by the Strip Method per section 1103.3.

Cq= 0.858i3-0.78i2+0.774i+0.04 (see figure 1116-2)

i=impervious area divided by the total area

Storm water is filtered through the permeable layer of concrete pavement into a layer of sand and aggregate until it reaches the subgrade drainage system. The ExT is discharged through the pavement underdrains. The following criteria apply when designing an ExT:

• Payment for the ExT shall be: Item 835 - Exfiltration Trench, Type ___ – L.F.

o Use a Type A for curb and gutter,

Type 2. o Use a Type B for barrier and non-

6 inch curb. o Use a Type C for 6 inch curb

without gutter.

• Do not use the ExT in tapers, parking areas, on a radius, or within a driveway.

• Do not use the ExT on the high side of a

super elevated roadway.

• Do not use the ExT with shoulder widths less than 2 feet.

1118.2 Manufactured Systems

Manufactured systems consist of underground structures that treat the WQf by removing particulate matter through settlement. Supplemental Specification 895 covers the material and performance criteria for these devices. They are placed in an off-line configuration with manholes to allow for routine maintenance procedures (see figure 1118-2). Provide a No. 3 Manhole, With ___” Base ID and ___” Weir at this location. Furnish two lengths of 603, Type B Conduit placed perpendicular to the inflowing trunk sewer (see reserved area table for the total length required). Use the following table when placing a Manufactured System:

Reserve an area (as measured from the centerline of the No. 3 Manhole) according to the following table:

Center the length of the area at the No. 3 Manhole. If this area is not attainable contact Central Office Hydraulics for further guidance. Ensure this area is void of all utilities and is accessible for routine cleanout and maintenance. 1118.3 Vegetated Biofilter

A Vegetated Biofilter (VBF) is a BMP treatment train that filters storm water through vegetation. The treatment train consists of the vegetated portion of the graded shoulder, vegetated slope, vegetated ditch, and an energy protection area. When widening existing ditches, consider the following before purchasing new right-of-way:

• Reducing the foreslope of the ditch.

• Reducing the backslope of the ditch.

• Reducing the bench width to a minimum of 4 feet.

1118.3.1 Vegetated Ditch Design Process

Use the following to design a Vegetated Ditch: A. Design the ditch per section 1102.

B. Calculate the ditch volume capacity using a depth of 6 inches, 0% slope, and the total length of the ditch.

C. Calculate the WQv at the most downstream

location using the contributing pavement area only. Apply the WQv weighted average if required per 1116.2.

D. Multiply the WQv by 2. E. Compare the calculated WQv with the ditch

volume capacity. If the WQv exceeds the ditch volume capacity by more than 10%, increase the ditch width to accommodate the WQv within the limits of pavement widening. Use a maximum width of 15 feet.

The WQv will produce a smaller ditch width as it progresses in the upstream direction. Decrease the ditch width by one foot increments until the WQv ditch width equals the designed width per section 1102 (see figure 1118-4). 1118.3.2 Energy Protection Area

An energy protection area provides energy reduction to roadside ditch flow prior to discharging into a water body. It is a constructed trapezoidal channel that has a 15 foot wide bottom with a layer of rock channel protection. Use the following criteria when providing an energy protection area: A. Provide 50 feet length (see figure 1118-5). B. Provide a 12 inch thick layer of Item 601

RCP, Type D with filter or as required per section 1102 (if larger RCP is necessary).

C. Do not place an energy protection area within

the median. Locate all energy protection areas in the outside roadway ditch.

D. Use energy protection areas on the upstream

location of culverts only. E. Provide energy protection areas as existing

right-of-way permits for redevelopment projects. If any amount of right-of-way is purchased, an energy protection area is required.

1118.4 Extended Detention

Extended detention is a method that captures storm water during rain events and slowly releases the captured volume over a period of

time. The WQv is used to determine the storage volume of the detention basin. The WQv is discharged over a 48 hour time frame. Increase the WQv by 20% when sizing the BMP to allow for sedimentation to occur. Detention can be either above or below ground. Detention basins that are above ground are the preferred choice and should be used when feasible. However, when project site parameters dictate, an underground system may be the optimum choice. 1118.4.1 Detention Basin

A detention basin is a dry pond that detains storm water for quality and quantity. The following criteria apply when designing a detention basin: A. Allow for 1 foot of freeboard above the

storage volume. B. Furnish a micropool when feasible (see figure

1118-5)

C. Use side slopes of 4:1 (max).

D. Ensure the design check discharge will safely pass through the structure (section 1118.4.3).

E. Vegetate the sides of the basin with Item 670

Slope Erosion Protection. F. Furnish a 6 inch layer of Item 601 Detention

Basin Aggregate on the bottom of the basin. G. Embankment work to create the

impoundment will be constructed and paid for as Item 203 Embankment, Using Natural Soils, 703.16.A.

H. Consider vehicle access to the basin for

periodic maintenance. I. Do not locate on uncompacted fill or steep

slopes (2:1 or more) or where infiltrating ground water could adversely impact slope stability.

J. Furnish an anti-seep collar around the outlet

pipe. K. Furnish gravel pack protection at the outlet

structure (see SCD WQ1.1). L. Place channel protection (RCP or Concrete

Mat) at the entrance of the basin to minimize erosion and sediment resuspension.

M. Furnish a forebay that is approximately 7% of

the total design volume.


11-28 January 2006

N. Furnish a Water Quality Basin, Detention per

section 1118.4.1.1

1118.4.1.1 Water Quality Basin and Weir Furnish an outlet structure that fully drains the WQv within 48 hours or more. The outlet requires a flow control structure such as a perforated riser pipe to restrict the drainage discharge. Details of a perforated riser pipe outlet structure can be found on standard drawing WQ1.1. Furnish a perforated riser pipe for detention basins. The outlet structure consists of a catch basin with a perforated riser pipe on the inlet side and a conduit on the outlet side. The perforated riser pipe is used for flow control to achieve the required discharge time. A gravel envelope surrounds the perforated riser pipe along the inlet side of the catch basin to prevent blockage of the orifice holes in the pipe. The catch basin and riser pipe are paid for as Item 604, Water Quality Basin, Detention. Furnish a weir to allow the design check discharge to bypass the structure without damage to the detention basin or embankment of the basin. The design check discharge shall be determined per 1118.4.3. The equation for a single orifice is:

Where, A = Area of orifice (ft2)

H = Head on orifice as measured to the centerline of the orifice (ft)

C = Orifice coefficient

Orifice Coefficient Guideance C Description

0.66 Use for thin materials where the thickness is equal to or less than the orifice diameter.

0.80 Use when the material is thicker than the orifice diameter.

From CALTRANS, Storm Water Quality Handbooks, Project Planning and Design Guide, September 2002. A hydrograph curve for the outlet will be required to calculate the discharge time of the WQv and the design check discharge (see 1118.4.3). The discharge time should correspond to the minimum of 48 hours.

Generally, it is easier to model the outlet structure and discharge time using software such as Pond Pak or HydroCad to develop the hydrograph.

1118.4.1.2 Anti-Seep Collar Design An anti-seep collar shall be installed on conduits through earth fills where water is being detained. The following criteria applies to anti-seep collars:

A. Spacing between adjacent collars shall be 5 feet with the first collar being a minimum of 5 feet from the inlet.

B. Furnish a minimum of 2 collars per outlet

conduit. C. All anti-seep collars and their connections

shall be watertight.

D. Minimum thickness shall be 6 inches.

E. Payment for the collar shall be Item 602 Concrete Masonry (see standard construction drawing WQ-1.2).

To determine the dimensions of the collar refer to the following:

Anti-Seep Collar Size

Maximum Water Depth

Colar Size (ftxft)

2 3x3 4 4x4 6 5x5

1118.4.2 Underground Detention

Underground detention areas are made up of a series of conduits. They range from an oversized storm sewer to a series of conduits that are specifically used for storm water detention. The following criteria apply when designing underground detention: A. Ensure the Hydraulic Grade Line design of

the storm sewer will pass through the structure and meet the requirements of 1104.4.2.

B. Consider access to the conduits for periodic

maintenance. C. If practical, provide pretreatment of the storm

water with a vegetated strip.

Q = A C. 64.4H.


January 2006 11-29

D. Payment for the conduit shall be: Item 603 ____” Conduit, Type____, for underground detention.

1118.4.3 Design Check Discharge

A design check discharge with the frequency of a 10-year event shall be used as calculated by the Rational Equation. Use the entire drainage area that contributes to the BMP to calculate the design check discharge. 1118.5 Retention Basin

A retention basin is a “wet” pond that has a minimum water surface elevation between storms that is defined as the permanent pool. Above the permanent pool is a detention pool that provides storage for 75% of the WQv and discharges within 24 hours or more. The full storage water depth is typically between 3-6 feet and the volume is less than 15 Ac-ft. The permanent pool is sized to provide storage for 75% of the WQv. A retention basin is ideal for large tributaries, but it may require a large amount of space. Consider the following when designing a retention basin: A. Use RCP at the inlet of the basin to provide

energy dissipation and erosion control. B. Allow for 1 foot freeboard above the WQv.

C. Use side slopes of 4:1 (max). D. Ensure the design check discharge will safely

pass through the structure (section 1118.4.3). E. Use a length to width ratio of at least 3:1 to

prevent short-circuiting. F. Vegetate the sides of the basin with Item 670

Slope Erosion Protection. G. Furnish a 6 inch layer of Item 601 Detention

Basin Aggregate on the bottom of the basin. H. Furnish a forebay (7-10% of the total

retention volume) to extend the service life of the BMP when feasible.

I. Furnish an anti-seep collar around the outlet

pipe (see section 1118.4.1.2). J. Furnish a trash rack at the outlet structure. K. The underlying soils should be compacted to

prevent infiltration of the permanent pool or an impervious liner should be used.

L. Consider vehicle access to the basin for

periodic maintenance. M. Retention basin must be greater than 10,000

feet from a municipal airport runway. N. Embankment work to create the

impoundment will be constructed and paid for as Item 203 Embankment, Using Natural Soils, 703.16.A.

O. Furnish a Water Quality Basin, Retention per

1118.5.1. 1118.5.1 Water Quality Basin and Weir

A retention basin outlet structure is designed similar to the outlet structure for a detention basin. The difference is that 75% of the WQv should be discharged out of the basin in 24 hours or more. The outlet structures are of a similar type, except the openings will be set at a high enough elevation to maintain 0.75% of the WQv in the permanent pool (see standard construction drawing WQ-1.1). The catch basin and riser pipe is paid for as Item 604, Water Quality Basin, Retention. 1118.6 Bioretention Cell

Bioretention Cells consist of a depressed low-lying area that treat storm water through evapotranspiration and filtering through a planting soil. As the storm water passes through the soil it is filtered. An underlying perforated storm sewer or underdrain captures the treated storm water and carries it to an outlet. Extensive vegetation assists in the filtration of the storm water prior to filtering through the soil. Vegetation should consist of shrubs or grasses that are native to the area. The existing soil must be removed and replaced when constructing a bioretention cell. The bioretention planting soil (plan note WQ101) should consist of a mixture of sand, topsoil, and compost. A bioretention cell is sized to store the WQv prior to filtration. Total filtration should occur in 40 hours or more. Use the following equation to determine the minimum surface area of the bioretention invert:


11-30 January 2006

Where,

WQv= Water quality volume (see section 1116) (Acre-feet) T= Drain time of the cell, 40 hours K= permeability of the planting soil (Use 3.3 x 10^-5 ft/sec) A= Top surface area of the trench (Ac) D= Depth of the planting soil (ft) (4.0 feet minimum) h=Maximum depth of water above the cells top layer for the WQv (use 1 foot).

The following criteria apply when designing a bioretention BMP: A. Do not place where snow may be stored. B. Furnish 10 feet or less width between 4 inch

underdrain laterals. C. Furnish bypass or overflow for the design

check discharge. Use a catch basin(s) in conjunction with an overflow weir as needed.

D. Furnish pretreatment of the storm water via a

vegetated filter strip. E. Ensure the water table or bedrock is below

the invert of the bioretention area. F. Use side slopes of 4:1 (max). G. Furnish a length to width ratio of 2:1 (min). H. Use a minimum depth of 4 feet of planting

soil. Provide at least 4 inches of depth deeper than the largest root ball.

I. Furnish an organic or mulching layer at the

top of the planting soil. J. Furnish a maximum depth of 1 foot to the

riser pipe or catch basin outlet from the mulching layer for storage of the WQv.

K. Furnish a bioretention cell as Item 203-

Special - Bioretention Cell.

1118.7 Infiltration

Infiltration techniques treat storm water through the interaction of a filtering substrate that consists of soil, sand, or gravel. This technique discharges the treated storm water into the ground water rather than into surface waters. Infiltration methods require an extensive investigation of the existing soils and geology to ensure success. The investigation should begin with a preliminary soil evaluation of the project site early in the design process. In situ testing is not anticipated during the preliminary evaluation process. Available soil and geology data found in the Soil and Water Conservation maps, United States Geological Survey (USGS), adjacent projects, or estimations from a geotechnical engineer should be used. Material property tables for infiltration, permeability, and porosity have been provided for the preliminary evaluation (table 1118-1 & 1118-2). If the preliminary evaluation yields favorable results a more detailed evaluation should be performed. The detailed evaluation will require a geotechnical investigation of the underlying soils and geology. Soil borings should be performed to a maximum depth of 20 feet (or refusal) with samples taken every 5 feet for laboratory testing. The number and location of soil borings should correspond with the approximate size (as determined in the preliminary evaluation) of the infiltration BMP and should be recommended by the geotechnical engineer. If the detailed evaluation yields favorable results, the ground water depth must be verified. The geotechnical engineer shall provide the seasonal high ground water depth. In some cases, observation wells may be installed and static water levels may be observed over a dry and wet season for verification. The infiltration and permeability rate of the soil shall be tested in the detailed soil evaluation at the discretion of the geotechnical engineer. In some cases, insitu testing at the proposed location of the infiltration BMP may be required. The following criteria applies to infiltration methods and must be met to be considered a feasible alternative: A. Design using the WQv as per Section 1116. B. Do not place infiltration BMP where snow

may be stored.

A = WQv D.

3600 K. T. h D( ).


January 2006 11-31

C. The appropriate soil type must be present:

1. Infiltration must be greater than 0.50 in/hr and no greater than 2.4 in/hr.

2. Soils must have less than 30% clay or

40% of clay and silt combined.

D. The invert of the structure must be at least 4 feet above the seasonal high water table and any impervious layer.

E. Infiltration techniques are not suitable on fill

soil, compacted soil, or steep slopes (greater than 4:1). Consideration should be given to the long term impacts upon hillside stability if applicable.

F. Pretreatment shall be provided to remove

large debris, trash and suspended sediment to extend the service life. Examples of this may be the use of vegetated filter strip.

1118.7.1 Infiltration Trench

An infiltration trench is an excavated trench that has been lined with a geotextile fabric and backfilled with aggregate. The storm water is filtered through the aggregate and is stored within the pore volume of the backfill material. It is allowed to percolate through the sides and bottom of the trench. The drawdown time of the WQv is 24 hours or more. Consider the following when designing an Infiltration trench: A. The minimum acceptable permeability of the

surrounding soil is =6.5*10^-5 ft/sec (see table 1118-1).

B. Design using the WQv as per Section 1116.

C. Long and deep infiltration trenches are most

efficient (3 feet bottom width and 3-6 feet deep).

D. Furnish a 6 inch layer of Item 601 Infiltration

Basin Aggregate on the top of the trench. E. The geometric shape of the trench is a

trapezoid with sides at a 1:1 (H:V) slope due to constructability. The top width is calculated as:

Top Width = Bottom Width + (2 * Depth)

F. Pretreatment using a vegetated strip shall be

provided to ensure longevity of the infiltration trench.

G. An observation well shall be provided to

facilitate ground water level inspection. H. Locate the infiltration trench at least 1,000

feet from any municipal water supply well and at least 100 feet from any private well, septic tank, or field tile drains.

I. Ensure the bottom of the trench is below the

frost line (2.5 feet) The length of the trench depends upon the depth and the bottom width. The required length is calculated by assuming a depth and bottom width. The length is calculated based upon the inflow (WQv) and the outflow (ground water recharge). The following equation calculates the required length in feet:

Where, WQv= Water quality volume (see section 1116) (Acre-feet) T= Drain time through the sides of the trench, 24 hours K= permeability of the surrounding soil (ft/sec) (table 1118-1) D= Trench depth (ft) b= Bottom width of the trench (ft)

1118.7.2 Infiltration Basin

An infiltration basin is an open surface pond that uses infiltration into the ground as the release mechanism. It is designed to store the WQv. Depending on the soil permeability, it may be used to treat from 5 to 50 acres. Lower permeable soils may require an underdrain system as an additional outlet. The drawdown time of the WQv should be between 24-48 hours. The following criteria applies when designing an infiltration basin:

A. Use an energy dissipater at the inlet.

B. Allow for 1 foot (min) freeboard above the WQv.

C. Vegetate the sides of the basin with Item

670 Slope Erosion Protection.

D. Furnish a 6 inch layer of Item 601 Infiltration Basin Aggregate on the bottom of the basin.

E. Use side slopes of 4:1 (max).

F. Use a length to width ratio of 3:1 G. Furnish bypass or overflow for the design

check discharge (see section 1118.4.3).

H. Consider vehicle access to the basin for periodic maintenance.

I. Locate basin at least 1,000 feet from any

municipal water supply well and at least 100 feet from any private well, septic tank, or drain field.

J. Furnish 10 feet or less width between 4

inch underdrain laterals (if used in the design).

K. Do not locate the basin where infiltrating

ground water may adversely impact slope stability.

L. Ensure the invert of any underdrain in the

basin is below the frost line (2.5 feet).

M. Embankment work to create the impoundment will be constructed and paid for as Item 203 Embankment, Using Natural Soils, 703.16.A.

The invert area of the infiltration basin can be calculated by the following equation:

A=(WQv * S.F. * 12)/(k * t)

Where, A= area of invert of the basin (Acres)

WQv= Water Quality Volume (see section 1116) (Acre-feet)

S.F.= Safety Factor of 1.5 k= Infiltration Rate (in/hr) (table 1118-2)

t= Drawdown time of 48 hours

The required depth of the infiltration basin can be calculated by the following equation:

D= WQv/A Where, A= area of invert of the basin (Acres) WQv= Water Quality Volume (Ac-ft) D= Required depth of the basin (ft)

1118.8 Constructed Wetlands

Constructed wetlands treat storm water through bio-retention. They are depressed, heavily planted areas that are designed to maintain a dry weather flow depth ranging between 0.5 to 2 feet. The surface area required for a wetland is usually quite large due to the limited allowable depth. The area is usually on the magnitude of 1% of the entire drainage area. They are designed in a similar manner as a retention basin. The wetland is sized to provide storage for the WQv for a time frame of at least 24 hours (above the permanent pool) while providing a bypass or overflow for larger design check discharge (see section

1118.4.3). The water depth should be maintained by an outlet structure capable of providing the required water depth with the provision of a one foot freeboard. The following criteria applies when designing a wetland: A. Do not place on a steep or unstable slope or

at a location, which could induce short-term or long-term instability.

B. Wetlands must be greater than 10,000 feet from a municipal airport runway.

C. Base flow must be present to maintain the

constant water depth (such as ground water). D. Furnish a forebay that is 7% of the total

required volume at a depth between 3-6 feet to settle out sediments.

E. Furnish side slopes of 4:1 (max). F. Consider access for maintenance to the

forebay and the outlet structure. G. Vegetate the sides and bottom with grass H. Furnish an impervious liner. Use a

compacted clay bottom or a geotextile fabric to prevent infiltration of the storm water.

I. Furnish a length to width ratio of 3:1 (min) to

prevent short-circuiting.

Given:

Designed Ditch:

Foreslope = 4:1

Backslope = 3:1

Width = 4 feet

Length = 1000 feet

Impervious Area = 1.0 acres

WQv:

WQv = (0.75)(1.0 Ac)(0.90)/12 = 0.056 Ac-Ft = 2439 cf

2 X WQv = 4878 cf

Design:

-Check Available Ditch Volume:

Ditch Area = ((Top Width + Bottom Width)/2)(depth)

= (((0.5)(4)+(0.5)(3)+4]+4]/2)(0.5) = 2.88 sf

Ditch Volume = (Ditch Area)(Length) = (2.88)(1000) = 2880 cf

Ditch Volume is Less than 2 X WQv, therefore ditch width must be increased.

-Determine required length using 4 foot ditch width:

Ditch Volume = (Ditch Area)(Length) = (2.88)(Length) = 4878 cf

Length = 1694 feet

-Determine required length using the maximum ditch width of 15 feet:

Ditch Area = ((Top Width + Bottom Width)/2)(depth)

= (((0.5)(4)+(0.5)(3)+15]+15]/2)(0.5) = 8.38 sf

Ditch Volume = (Ditch Area)(Length) = (8.38)(Length) = 4878 cf

Length = 582 feet

- Interpolate between 4 foot and 15 foot ditch width to determine required lengths:

Appendix B – Directive 22-A DIRECTIVE NO. 22-A April 12, 1965

Supersedes Directive No. D-102dated March 26, 1962

TO: DEPUTY DIRECTORS, STAFF MEMBERS, AND DIVISION ENGINEERS

SUBJECT: PERMITS TO DISCHARGE TREATED SANITARY FLOW INTO STATEHIGHWAY

DRAINAGE SYSTEMS.

PART I - GENERAL

A. PURPOSE

1. To control, through the issuance of permits, the acceptance, when justified, of treatedsanitary flow into State Highway drainage systems.

2. To define conditions under which a permit may be issued and set up procedures forapplying, granting, and revoking a permit.

3. To coordinate the activities of all Highway Bureaus involved in this field and with theState and local Health Departments.

B. POLICY

1. To permit treated sanitary flow to enter the Highway drainage systems if conditionsrequire an outlet for the private sewage treatment facilities and the effluent meets therequirements noted hereinafter.

2. No permit shall be issued under these procedures unless it is established, at the expenseof the applicant, and by a Registered Professional Engineer or other qualified person asdetermined by the Health Department having jurisdiction, that the soil will not permitleaching as shown by percolation tests prescribed by the State Department of Health,and that there is no practical place to discharge the treated sanitary flow except to theHighway drainage system.

3. No permit shall be issued unless it has been established that the discharge from theprivate drain will not exceed the hydraulic capacity of the Highway drainage system, willnot cause a menace to health, will not adversely affect the maintenance of the Highway,and will not damage the Highway drainage system.

4. The permit, when issued, shall remain in force only if construction conforms to theapproved plan and only as long as the treatment facility continues to produce an effluentreasonably free of odor, color and suspended solids as determined by the HealthDepartment having jurisdiction. The approved permit for a new or existing user shallstipulate this requirement as a condition to continuing the permit in effect.

5. Written permission to discharge treated sanitary flow into the Highway drainage systemshall specifically provide for cancellation in the event the effluent at any time is notreasonably free of odor, color and suspended solids, or if other means of disposalbecome available such as a sanitary sewer extension.


C. SCOPE

1. Treated sanitary flow means the effluent from a properly constructed and maintainedsand sewage filter or aerobic digestion treatment plant, the designs of which have beenapproved and accepted by the Local Health Department and the Ohio Department ofHealth.

2. Untreated sanitary flow is defined as the flow from all plumbing fixtures including floordrains, kitchen sinks and drains from livestock lots ad barns. Untreated sanitary flowsshall not be discharged into the Highway drainage system except as provided for inSection C-4-b.

3. This directive will apply to the discharge of treated sanitary flows into the drainagesystems on all rural State highways.

4. The following shall apply to the discharge of sanitary flows into the drainage systems onState highways within municipal corporations:

a. If the municipality enters into an agreement with the State by passing suitablelegislation in which the municipality agree to issue permits to property owners only ifthe property owners have complied with the requirements of this directive, dischargeof treated sanitary flows will be accepted.

b. If the municipality enters into an agreement with the State by passing suitablelegislation in which the municipality agrees to issue permits and to assume totalresponsibility for permitting the discharge of untreated or improperly treated sanitaryflows into the State Highway drainage system and to save the State harmless fromlegal action that might develop because of such discharge, then discharge ofuntreated or improperly treated sanitary flows may be accepted, if extenuatingcircumstances exist which would justify such action.

c. If the municipality enters into an agreement with the State by passing suitablelegislation in which the municipality agrees that no sanitary flow shall be permitted tobe discharged into State Highway drainage systems or if the enabling legislation issilent with respect to sanitary flow, then sanitary flow shall not be permitted to enterthe Highway project.

5. No permit shall be issued under these procedures to discharge treated sanitary flows intodrainage systems on Interstate highways unless such denial of access would causeextreme hardship to the applicant or result in excessive cost in acquisition of property.Substitute measures should be considered such as location of the drainage ditch in achannel easement adjacent to the limited access line, or construction of a suitable outfallsewer beyond the limited access line.

6. If, for any reason, the Health Department having jurisdiction fails to cooperate with theDepartment of Highways in implementing the requirements of this directive, no permitshall be issued to allow discharge of sanitary flow into the drainage system of theHighway, whether rural or within a municipality. For the purpose of this directive, failureto cooperate shall be considered to exist if any one of the following can be established:

a. The office of local Health Commissioner has jurisdiction and is vacant or inactive.


b. The Health Department having jurisdiction refuses to act.

c. The Health Department having jurisdiction refuses to follow the procedures set forthin this Directive.

d. The Health Department having jurisdiction approves an effluent when it is obviousthat it is not reasonably free from odor, color or suspended solids.

b. Upon receipt of the approved Agreement form, the Highway field division will issuethe official permit on form M & R 509 (Rev.) In accordance with Sec. D-5.

c. In all cases where permits are issued for an existing user on inspection well shall beprovided by the State approximately one foot inside the right-of-way line as shown onthe attached inspection well drawing. In unusual instances where the treatedsanitary flow will be discharged into an open Highway ditch, catch basin or manhole,the inspection well may be omitted but must be built at applicant’s expense if andwhen the open ditch is enclosed later.

3. DISAPPROVAL OF EXISTING SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES BY HEALTHCOMMISSIONER.

a. If the property owner’s sewage treatment facility does not meet with Department ofHealth requirements for the modern home, the local Health Commissioner shalladvise the Highway field division of his disapproval and he shall then advise theproperty owner that his existing sewage treatment facility does not meet StateDepartment of Health recommendations and that he should build a tile disposal field,not requiring an outlet, unless it can be established as in Sec. B-2 that because ofthe type of soil or other reasons, leaching requirements cannot be met, in which casethe property owner shall build a new system meeting Ohio Department of Healthrequirements for “Sewage Disposal for the Modern Home” or improve his existingfacility to meet the same requirements.

b. If the local Health Commissioner finds that a leaching system will not be effective andthat it will be necessary for the property owner to improve his existing facility or builda new sewage treatment facility if he expects to use the Highway drainage system asan outlet for his sewage treatment facility, procedures shall be followed as set forth inSection D.

c. If the property owner fails to comply with instructions within the 60-day period notedin Sec. E-1-d, the local Health Commissioner will initiate formal action to abate thenuisance. For such cases the Highway contractor will be instructed by letter from theHighway field division not to connect and to plug any private sewer from the propertyof the offender as has been determined by the local Health Commissioner.
