8. RUN-OFF TREATMENT <br /> This project is required to provide runoff treatment due to the amount of PGIS proposed on <br /> the site. All runoff from the proposed paved driveways and access roads excluding the fire <br /> lane which will not be used regularly and a short portion of the entrance road that could <br /> not be collected due to grade constraints, will be treated within one of four Perk Filters. <br /> These filters were sized by analyzing each tributary sub-basin to the individual filter to <br /> determine the peak treatment flow rate for each. Then the sizing table provided by Filtera <br /> the Perk Filter developer/supplier was used to determine the height and number of filters <br /> required. The following table summarizes the flow rates to each filter. <br /> Catch Basin WQ Flow Rate Cartridge Height No. Cartridges <br /> (15 min) <br /> #2 0.0228 cfs 18" 1 <br /> #3 0.0028 cfs 12" 1 <br /> #4 0.0225 cfs 18" 1 <br /> #5 0.0446 cfs 18" 2 <br /> #6 0.0152 cfs 12" 1 <br /> #8 0.0523 cfs 12" 4 <br /> Details for each of the different design scenarios are provided on the engineering plans. <br /> The WQ flow rates were calculated using the WWMH2O12 which is the most current <br /> version as required by code. <br /> 9. FLOW CONTROL <br /> For this project the total area to be disturbed is 3.11 acres. As noted previously in this <br /> report the site has been broken into three on-site sub-basins. The NW draining to the <br /> northern wetland west of the development, the SW draining to the southern wetland west <br /> of the development and the east basin draining to 16th Ave SE. In addition, for the eastern <br /> basin there is a small area of bypass (0.17 ac) including 0.09 acres of pavement and 0.08 <br /> acres of landscaping. These areas could not be collected due to the need to connect the <br /> project via road/access to 16th Ave SE which is much lower then the site. In addition, <br /> along the southern property line there is approximately 0.18 acres of off-site area tributary <br /> to the final development. This area is going to be captured and detained to off-set the <br /> bypass area listed above. <br /> The use of dispersion along the west side of the project will both provide the necessary <br /> flow control for the NW and SW while maintaining the hydrology of the two on-site <br /> wetlands. The project proposes to disperse flows from the SW basin via two level <br /> spreaders. One will serve the runoff from the pavement and some landscaping while the <br /> second will be for roof runoff. In addition, portions of the future landscaping that does not <br /> get collected by the pavement system will be allowed to sheet flow west without being <br /> collected or concentrated. The NW basin design is similar in that there is one level <br /> spreader for the pavement and some landscaping runoff and then individual spreaders for <br /> each of the two buildings. The use of multiple level spreaders will aid in spreading the <br /> sheet flow out along the length of the western edge of the project and allow for greater <br /> absorption of the flows in the buffer area prior to the flows entering the wetlands. The <br /> level spreaders have been sized to provide a minimum of 10-feet of trench per 0.1 cfs of <br /> Northlake Court Townhomes 13-0609 <br /> May,2014 Page 12 <br />
