� I/ � <br /> Puecic w�oRKs <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> 1'O: Al Locke/Gordon Witcher <br /> F[IOM: Jane Zimmerman <br /> DATE: August 15, 1997 <br /> SUBJECT: Drainage Calsulation Review for Creckside Apartments, <br /> SEPA M96-53 <br /> Resvictor devices may have a minimum orifice size of 1 inch. Because the site is so <br /> small, and due to the City's minimum orifice size requirements, it appears that separate <br /> roof-top runoff and pavement runoff detention systems arc not feasible. Therefore, all <br /> runoff must be combined together and routed through a common control structure for <br /> the provision of stormwater detention. <br /> Pavement runoff must be treated in a wetpond meeting Ciry standards. Even though <br /> treatment of roof-top runoff is not required, if the roof-top runoff is combined wilh thc <br /> pavement runoff before the pavement runoff has been treated, then the wetpond must <br /> be sized to meet City standards for the entire contributing area, including roof-tops. <br /> Wetpond calculations are required. The engineer may choose to usc the City's current <br /> standards, or the standards in effect at the titnc of SEPA approval may be used instead. <br /> The City's current standards are found in the City's Stormwater Management Manual. <br /> Design of the wetpond in accordance with the old slandards would generate the <br /> following comments: <br /> The wetpond desiga volume is equal to the volume of runoff from the 6 <br /> month, 24-hour stortn. The following two methods are acceptabie for <br /> determining the wetpond design volumc: <br /> I) nmltiply the area of impervious surface in the contributing basin <br /> by the precipitation assceiated with the design stortn, or <br /> 2) determine the total volume of stormwater runoff from <br /> contributing areas (impervious and pervious) using the Santa <br /> Barbara Urban Hydrograph method or comparable method. <br />
