BEVERLY PARK SUBSTATION EXPANSION—ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER 10,2010 <br /> SNOHOMISH COUNTY PUD PAGE 2 <br /> WWHM3 output is located in Appendix B. It shows that 93.7% of the total runoff infiltrates <br /> through the pad. The remainder flows into the interceptor trenches where 88.1% of that runoff is <br /> infiltrated. This gives a total of 99.2% infiltration between the two systems. While that is <br /> significant, it primarily deals with smaller storm events which make up a large portion of storm <br /> volume. Larger storm events will overflow these systems during the peak of the storm. These <br /> flows will be discharged over the level spreader. Expected flow rates are as follows: <br /> Return Rate Existing (forest) Mitigated <br /> 2 yr 0.09 cfs 0.37 cfs <br /> 5 yr 0.12 cfs 0.64 cfs <br /> 10 yr 0.15 cfs 0.74 cfs <br /> 25 yr 0.20 cfs 0.81 cfs <br /> 50 yr 0.23 cfs 0.84 cfs <br /> 100 yr 0.27 cfs 0.86 cfs <br /> Notes: <br /> I: For existing basin flow rates, the basin has been assumed to be forested regardless of current <br /> ground cover. <br /> 2: With so many of the smaller storm events infiltrated, the calculation of the return period for <br /> the mitigated flow begins to be skewed as it is only based on the uncontrolled overflow without <br /> the smaller storm events. Attached in Appendix B is a list of yearly maximums for the 48 year <br /> control period. <br /> Using the broad crested weir formula, Q = CLHA 1.5 with C = 3.3, L=40 feet and Q =0.86 cfs <br /> for the 100 year storm, H = 0.03 ft or 0.4 inches. Using that depth and the width of the level <br /> spreader gives an expected velocity over the weir of 0.6 fps. This is below standard erosive <br /> velocity in vegetated surface conditions. <br /> The geotechnical engineer has reviewed these flow rates and the downstream slope, soil and <br /> vegetation. His findings are included under separate cover. <br /> LOWER PAD (230 Kv Yard) <br /> This comprises an area of 2.15 acres. It has been modeled in WWHM3 as impervious even <br /> though it will primarily be a gravel surface. This was done because infiltration through the pad <br /> itself has been modeled using a gravel trench facility. That facility will overflow into the trench <br /> facility with the discharge from the trench flowing to the level spreader. The system has the <br /> following characteristics: <br /> Impervious Area: 2.15 <br /> Pad infiltration area*: 22,500 sf <br /> Length of interceptor trench: 750 If <br /> Width of trench: 3 feet <br /> Depth below pipe: 2 feet <br /> Length of level spreader: 40 feet <br /> J:\SnoCoPUD\Beverly Park 09.158\CE\Drainage\DRAINAGE ADDENDUM.doc DW H/srm <br />
