. Maximum 3H A V interior side slopes and maximum 2H:1 V exterior slopes. The interior slopes <br />can be increased to a maximum of 2H:1 V if fencing is provided at or above the maximum <br />water surface. <br />. One foot of freeboard between the top of the riser and the crest of the emergency spillway. <br />• Flat bottom. <br />. Minimum 1-foot deep spillway. <br />. Length -to -width ratio between 3:1 and 6:1. <br />Sediment Pond Discharae <br />The outlet for the pond consists of a combination of principal and emergency spillways. These out- <br />lets must pass the peak runoff expected from the contributing drainage area for a 100-year storm. If, <br />due to site conditions and basin geometry, a separate emergency spillway is not feasible, the prin- <br />cipal spillway must pass the entire peak runoff expected from the 100-year storm. However, an <br />attempt to provide a separate emergency spillway should always be made. Base the runoff cal- <br />culations on the site conditions during construction. The flow through the dewatering orifice cannot <br />be utilized when calculating the 100-year storm elevation because of its potential to become <br />clogged; therefore, available spillway storage must begin at the principal spillway riser crest. <br />The principal spillway designed by the procedures described below will result in some reduction in <br />the peak rate of runoff. However, the design will not control the discharge flow rates to the extent <br />required to comply with 1-3.4.7 M R7: Flow Control. The size of the contributing basin, the expected <br />life of the construction project, the anticipated downstream effects, and the anticipated weather con- <br />ditions during construction should be considered to determine the need for additional discharge con- <br />trol. <br />Principal Spillway: Determine the required diameter for the principal spillway (riser pipe). The dia- <br />meter shall be the minimum necessary to pass the peak volumetric flow rate using a 15-minute time <br />step from a Type 1 A, 10-year, 24-hour frequency storm for the developed condition. Use Figure 1I- <br />3.31: Riser Inflow Curves to determine the riser diameter. <br />To aid in determining sediment depth, one -foot intervals shall be prominently marked on the riser. <br />Emergency Overflow Spillway: Size the emergency overflow spillway for the peak volumetric flow <br />rate using a 10-minute time step from a Type 1 A, 100-year, 24-hour frequency storm for the <br />developed condition. See BMP D.1: Detention Ponds for additional guidance for Emergency Over- <br />flow Spillway design <br />Dewatering Orifice: Size of the dewatering orifice(s) (minimum 1-inch diameter) using a modified <br />version of the discharge equation for a vertical orifice and a basic equation for the area of a circular <br />orifice. Determine the required area of the orifice with the following equation: <br />As(2h)o.a <br />A° 0.6 x 360OT90-5 <br />where <br />Ao = orifice area (square feet) <br />2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br />Volume 11- Chapter 3 - Page 390 <br />
