The open wa[er cell is required to have a dead storage depth of 3-6 feet, the wetland <br />treatment cell may have a maximum average depth of 1.33 feet. <br />The City standards require a minimum of 50% of the wetpond design volume to be provided <br />'�� % we po d design s orm (the 6 monthh24-hour sto�o)d�deQsllgn�vol�e �et ond desien storginhe <br />�•, <br />i' '�. developed hydrograph through the pond_is required to_v_erify_thatihe wetpond-design�alu�ne <br />% is reached for the wetpond design s[orm. -The size of the primary orifice can be decreased as <br />necessary, to a minimum allowable orifice size of 1 inch, [o achieve enough live storage. If a <br />i inch orifice doesn't result in the required storage in the pond, then the percentage of the <br />wetpond design volume provided as dead storage must be increased until the combination of <br />dead storage and peak live storage (during the wetpond design storm) equals the wetpond <br />design volume. <br />The control structure(s) must ensure that detention release rates do not exceed allowable <br />release rates � that the detained volume in the pond reaches or exceeds the wetpond design <br />volume for the wetpond design storm. Orifice calculations must be submitted showing that the <br />control structure meets both these requirements. <br />Since high flow velocities are generally not a concern in the wetpond, the storm sys[em should <br />not be designed to bypass high tlows around the wetpond. With a bypass in place, short- <br />intensity storms with a low volume but high peak flow will mostly bypass the pond. These <br />types of storms wash a lot of pollutants off of paved surface and must be conveyed to the <br />wetpond. <br />Orifice sizine: <br />Non-publicly maintained restrictor devices may have a minimum orifice size of 1 inch. <br />
