. • The pump discharge rate would likely be initially set at just below <br />1/2 of the 2-year flow from the pre -developed condition. As runoff <br />coming into the untreated stormwater storage pond increases and <br />the available untreated stormwater storage volume gets used up, it <br />would be necessary to increase the pump discharge rate above %2 of <br />the 2-year. The increase(s) above 1/2 of the 2-year must be such that <br />they provide some relief to the untreated stormwater storage needs <br />but at the same time will not cause violations of the flow duration <br />standard at the higher flows. The final design SSD table will <br />identify the appropriate pumping rates and the corresponding stage <br />and storages. <br />• When building such a flow control system, the design must ensure <br />that any automatic adjustments to the pumping rates will be as a <br />result of changes to the available storage in accordance with the <br />final design SSD table. <br />5. It should be noted that the above procedures would be used to meet the <br />flow control requirements. The chemical treatment system must be <br />able to meet the runoff treatment requirements. It is likely that the <br />discharge flow rate of 1/2 of the 2-year or more may exceed the <br />treatment capacity of the system. If that is the case, the untreated <br />stormwater discharge rate(s) (i.e., influent to the treatment system) <br />must be reduced to allow proper treatment. Any reduction in the flows <br />would likely result in the need for a larger untreated stormwater <br />storage volume. <br />If the discharge is to a municipal storm drainage system, the allowable <br />discharge rate may be limited by the capacity of the public system. It may <br />be necessary to clean the municipal storm drainage system prior to the <br />start of the discharge to prevent scouring solids from the drainage system. <br />If the municipal storm drainage system discharges to a water body not on <br />the flow control exempt list, the project site is subject to flow control <br />requirements. Obtain permission from the owner of the collection system <br />before discharging to it. <br />If system design does not allow you to discharge at the slower rates as <br />described above and if the site has a retention or detention pond that will <br />serve the planned development, the discharge from the treatment system may <br />be directed to the permanent retention/detention pond to comply with the flow <br />control requirement. In this case, the untreated stormwater storage pond and <br />treatment system will be sized according to the sizing criteria for flow - <br />through treatment systems for flow control exempt water bodies described <br />earlier except all discharge (water passing through the treatment system and <br />stormwater bypassing the treatment system) will be directed into the <br />permanent retention/detention pond. If site constraints make locating the <br />untreated stormwater storage pond difficult, the permanent <br />retention/detention pond may be divided to serve as the untreated stormwater <br />is storage pond and the post -treatment flow control pond. A berm or barrier <br />must be used in this case so the untreated water does not mix with the treated <br />Volume H — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention -August 2012 <br />4-116 <br />
