I <br /> Determine the required surface area at the top of the riser pipe with the <br /> equation: <br /> ISA = 2 x Q2/0.00096 or <br /> 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow <br /> I See BMP C240 for more information on the derivation of the surface <br /> area calculation. <br /> The basic geometry of the pond can now be determined using the <br /> Ifollowing design criteria: <br /> • Required surface area SA (from Step 2 above) at top of riser. <br /> I • Minimum 3.5-foot depth from top of riser to bottom of pond. <br /> • Maximum 3:1 interior side slopes and maximum 2:1 exterior slopes. <br /> The interior slopes can be increased to a maximum of 2:1 if fencing is <br /> Iprovided at or above the maximum water surface. <br /> • One foot of freeboard between the top of the riser and the crest of the <br /> I emergency spillway. <br /> • Flat bottom. <br /> • Minimum 1-foot deep spillway. <br /> • Length-to-width ratio between 3:1 and 6:1. <br /> • Sizing of Discharge Mechanisms. <br /> IThe outlet for the basin consists of a combination of principal and <br /> emergency spillways. These outlets must pass the peak runoff expected <br /> from the contributing drainage area for a 100-year storm. If, due to site <br /> Iconditions and basin geometry, a separate emergency spill-way is not <br /> feasible, the principal spillway must pass the entire peak runoff expected <br /> from the 100-year storm. However, an attempt to provide a separate <br /> I emergency spillway should always be made. The runoff calculations <br /> should be based on the site conditions during construction. The flow <br /> through the dewatering orifice cannot be utilized when calculating the <br /> I 100-year storm elevation because of its potential to become clogged; <br /> therefore, available spillway storage must begin at the principal spillway <br /> riser crest. <br /> IThe principal spillway designed by the procedures contained in this <br /> standard will result in some reduction in the peak rate of runoff. <br /> However,the riser outlet design will not adequately control the basin <br /> I discharge to the predevelopment discharge limitations as stated in <br /> Minimum Requirement#7: Flow Control. However, if the basin for a <br /> permanent stormwater detention pond is used for a temporary <br /> I sedimentation basin,the control structure for the permanent pond can be <br /> used to maintain predevelopment discharge limitations. The size of the <br /> basin, the expected life of the construction project, the anticipated <br /> I downstream effects and the anticipated weather conditions during <br /> construction, should be considered to determine the need of additional <br /> discharge control.
