• <br /> • <br /> CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> The 10-year recurrence interval peak flow shall be used if the project size,expected timing and i <br /> duration of construction, or downstream conditions warrant a higher level of protection. For <br /> sediment traps having a contributing area with a time of concentration less than or equal to 60 <br /> minutes,the rational method may be used to determine the design flow. Otherwise, a continuous <br /> 411, <br /> runoff model(WWHM or an approved alternative, see Volume I, Chapter 5) shall be used to • <br /> determine the design flow. The developed(unmitigated) land use condition shall be used in the <br /> hydrologic analysis. IR <br /> VS =The settling velocity of the soil particle of interest. The 0.02 mm(medium silt)particle • <br /> with an assumed density of 2.65 g/cm3 has been selected as the particle of interest and <br /> ID <br /> has a settling velocity(Vs)of 0.00096 ft/sec. • <br /> FS=A safety factor of 2 to account for non-ideal settling. - <br /> The equation for computing surface area becomes: <br /> fb <br /> SA =2 x Q/0.00096 <br /> This is equal to 2,083 square feet per cubic feet per second of inflow,measured at the invert of • <br /> the weir. . <br /> Note: Even if permanent facilities are used,they must still have a surface area that is at least as • <br /> large as that derived from the above formula. If they do not,the pond must be enlarged or <br /> additional surface area must be provided in a temporary sediment control facility. • <br /> 4. To aid in determining sediment depth,all sediment traps shall have a staff gauge with a • <br /> prominent labeled mark each 1-foot interval above the bottom of the trap. 5 <br /> 5. Sediment traps may not be feasible on utility projects due to the limited work space or the short- • <br /> term nature of the work. Portable tanks may be used in place of sediment traps for utility • <br /> projects. <br /> Maintenance Standards • <br /> I. Sediment shall be removed from the trap when it reaches 1-foot in depth <br /> 2. Any damage to the pond embankments or slopes shall be repaired. <br /> 3.3.18 BMP C241: Temporary Sediment Pond • <br /> Purpose • <br /> Sediment ponds remove sediment from runoff originating from disturbed areas of the site. Sediment S <br /> ponds are typically designed to remove sediment no smaller than medium silt(0.02 mm). Consequently, • <br /> they usually reduce turbidity only slightly. <br /> It <br /> Conditions of Use - <br /> • Prior to leaving a construction site, stormwater runoff must pass through a sediment pond or other •, <br /> appropriate sediment removal BMP. <br /> • A sediment pond shall be used where the contributing drainage area is 3 acres or more. Ponds -. <br /> must be used in conjunction with erosion control practices to reduce the amount of sediment <br /> flowing into the basin. • <br /> Design and Installation Specifications • <br /> 1. Sediment ponds shall not be installed on sites where failure of the structure would result in loss of • <br /> life, damage to homes or buildings, or interruption of use or service of public roads or utilities. <br /> S <br /> Volume 11— Construction Storrawater Pollution Prevention • <br /> 3-61 <br /> a <br />
