of the separator, the applicant may wish to avoid a bypass <br /> system by designing both the separator and the swale for the <br /> 25 year storm peak flow. <br /> oil/water separator/qrit removal vault: <br /> City standards call for oil/water separator vaults to have a . / <br /> minimum design flow determined by using the rational formula V <br /> with a rainfall intensity of 0.5 inches per hour over the <br /> contributing area. The vault is required to provide a 15 <br /> minute detention time for the design flow. <br /> Highflow bypass piping is required £or the vault per City <br /> standards, unless, in this case, the vault is sized for the <br /> peak flow from the 25 year design flow. If a bypass is � <br /> preferred, the vault design flow should be reached at the <br /> point that the water elevation reaches the invert of the <br /> highflow bypass pipe. The flow through the separator should <br /> not exceed the maximum process flow (the largest flow the <br /> separator can handle befote accumulated oil begins to be <br /> flushed out) when the head needed to pass the 25 year storm <br /> is reached in the hiqhflow bypass pipe. Overflows would <br /> need to be split and half routed directly to each wetland. <br /> The following information is required for City review and <br /> approval of oil/water separators: <br /> 1) design flow calculations � <br /> 2) design inlet capacity calculations <br /> 3) orifice sizing calculations <br /> 4) oil/water separator sizing calculations <br /> 5) bypass sizing calculations (if applicable) <br /> 6) copy of site plan showing the cont;�buting area <br /> veqetated Swales: <br /> The C�ty classifies vegetated swales as either grass swales <br /> or emergent swales, based on the longitudinal slope of the � <br /> swale. The swale shawn on the site would be classified as i <br /> an emergent swale. All notes and callouts to the swale area <br /> should refer to the swale as an emergent swale. <br /> � <br /> Current City standards call for vegetated swales to be <br /> designed to provide a minimum 5 minute residence time for V, <br /> the peak discharge from the 2 year, 24-hour storm, with <br /> higher flows diverted around the swale. Developed site <br /> conditions need to be used in determining the s�ale de�ign <br /> flow. As discussed above, the high flow bypass can be <br /> avoided by designinq the swale to meet City design criteria <br /> for the 25 year flow instead of the 2 year flow. <br />
