loading rates may be more appropriate for other systems. Bypass should <br />be provided around the chemical treatment system to accommodate <br />extreme storms. Runoff volume shall be calculated using the methods <br />presented in Volume 3, Chapter 2. Worst -case land cover conditions (i.e., <br />producing the most runoff) should be used for analyses (in most cases, this <br />would be the land cover conditions just prior to final landscaping). <br />Sizing Criteria for Flow Control Water Bodies: <br />Sites that must implement flow control for the developed site condition <br />must also control stormwater release rates during construction. <br />Construction site stormwater discharges shall not exceed the discharge <br />durations of the pre -developed condition for the range of pre -developed <br />discharge rates from 1/2 of the 2-year flow through the 10-year flow as <br />predicted by an approved continuous runoff model. The pre -developed <br />condition to be matched shall be the land cover condition immediately <br />prior to the development project. This restriction on release rates can <br />affect the size of the storage pond and treatment cells. <br />The following is how WWHM can be used to determine the release rates <br />from the chemical treatment systems: <br />1. Determine the pre -developed flow durations to be matched by entering <br />the existing land use area under the "Pre -developed" scenario in <br />WWHM. The default flow range is from 1/2 of the 2-year flow through <br />the 10-year flow. <br />2. Enter the post developed land use area in the "Developed <br />Unmitigated" scenario in WWHM. <br />3. Copy the land use information from the "Developed Unmitigated" to <br />"Developed Mitigated" scenario. <br />4. While in the "Developed Mitigated" scenario, add a pond element <br />under the basin element containing the post -developed land use areas. <br />This pond element represents information on the available untreated <br />stormwater storage and discharge from the chemical treatment system. <br />In cases where the discharge from the chemical treatment system is <br />controlled by a pump, a stage/storage/discharge (SSD) table <br />representing the pond must be generated outside WWHM and <br />imported into WWHM. WWHM can route the runoff from the post - <br />developed condition through this SSD table (the pond) and determine <br />compliance with the flow duration standard. This would be an iterative <br />design procedure where if the initial SSD table proved to be <br />inadequate, the designer would have to modify the SSD table outside <br />WWHM and re -import in WWHM and route the runoff through it <br />again. The iteration will continue until a pond that complies with the <br />flow duration standard is correctly sized. <br />Notes on SSD table characteristics: <br />11 <br />Volume II— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-115 <br />
