BEVERLY PARK SUBSTATION EXPANSION—ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER 10,2010 <br /> SNOHOMISH COUNTY PUD PAGE 3 <br /> *This is the area of the pad that is underlain with weathered till and structural fill through which <br /> direct rainfall can infiltrate. It does not include areas cut into unweathered till. <br /> WWHM3 output is located in Appendix B. It shows that 86.2% of the total runoff infiltrates <br /> through the pad. The remainder flows into the interceptor trenches where 78.3% of that runoff is <br /> infiltrated. This gives a total of 97.0% 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 this system during the peak of the storm. These flows <br /> will be discharged over the level spreader. Expected flow rates are as follows: <br /> Return Rate Existing (forest) Mitigated <br /> 2 yr 0.06 cfs 0.34 cfs <br /> 5 yr 0.09 cfs 0.45 cfs <br /> 10 yr 0.11 cfs 0.47 cfs <br /> 25 yr 0.15 cfs 0.47 cfs <br /> 50 yr 0.17 cfs 0.47 cfs <br /> 100 yr 0.20 cfs 0.47 cfs <br /> Notes: <br /> 1: 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. This can especially be seen here as the return rates of the larger storms <br /> reach a plateau of 0.47 cfs. 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 = 0.47 cfs <br /> for the 100 year storm, H = 0.02 ft or 0.3 inches. Using that depth and the width of the level <br /> spreader gives an expected velocity over the weir of 0.5 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 /> SCENIC/GRANT UPSTREAM FLOW <br /> The existing level spreader serving the Scenic Drive/Grant Drive basin is being relocated. The <br /> upstream area tributary to the level spreader is 3.75 acres. This is based on City of Everett storm <br /> utility mapping and Snohomish County Aerial and Lidar mapping. Figure 2: Upstream Basin <br /> shows the extent of the basin and the following indicates the basins characteristics: <br /> Pervious Area: 2.15 <br /> Impervious Area: 1.6 <br /> J:\SnoCoPUD\Beverly Park 09-158\CE\Drainage\DRAINAGE ADDENDUM.doc DWH/srm <br />
