CT_TY OF SV-E".RETT off-SrTr_ D=r_%m"rox RrnnTVrxrti S <br />The sizing of on -site detentions in the city of Everett is <br />based on a 24 hour design star= typical of long dur tff6n <br />winter storms in Everett. For sites larger than 5.0 acres, <br />on -site detentions systems will be sized by City of Everett <br />personnel with the use of EPA's computer based star --water <br />management model (S*40(). A copy of the computer printout will <br />be provided to the applicant at his/her request. <br />For sites smaller tb! .0 acres, a series of tables shown <br />below allow the applicant to determine his or her on -site <br />detention requirement. These tables were developed based upon <br />a series of computer simulations of stor=water runoff from a <br />hypothetical 20 acre draihace basin. This 20 acre drainage <br />basin included ten parcels varying in shame and size from 0.25 <br />acres to 5.0 acres. <br />icw to use the tables: <br />The first stem is to determine the design staa criteria for <br />the site in question. Table 1 shows the design stoa criteria <br />far eight drainage basins/areas in Everett. The locations of <br />t.:e drainage basins are shown in figure 1. <br />yftar the design star` criteria are determined, the allcurable <br />release rate for t=e:On-site detention system is dete^?zed by <br />using tables 1 :thrauch 4. To use tables 1 tarouct 4, the <br />existing slope and around cover ccnditians of the site in <br />question need to be dete_*-mined. <br />The slope of t:.e site must be deter -?Zed 'ram a topographical <br />surrey of the site or by using the City's 1986 aerial <br />topographical mans. The slave refers to the slave of overland <br />flow rather than the slope of the channel or Swale that drains <br />the site. The existing- ground cover can be classified as <br />woods or forested; as lawns, grass or landscaping; as bare <br />compacted eax-..'i or gravel surfaced; or as an =per7icus <br />surface. *116 <br />The minimum size, orifice allowed fbon-site detention syste=s <br />is 211. Assuming a borda orifice (contraction coefficient of <br />0.51) and a head of t7o feet, the minimum flow rate through a <br />2" orifice is 0.13 cfs. Therefore, allowable release rates of <br />less than .13 cfs should not he used to calculate on -site <br />detention requirements (see example -2 below). <br />
