To meet Ciry redevelopment standards, die area available <br /> must be maximized for stormwater treatment capabilities. Although it doesn't appear <br /> feasible to provide a wetpond in series with a swale on this site, a more effective <br /> syatem could be provided t}tan is proposed. I believe that provision of a minimally <br /> sized wetvault (approximately 164 cubic fee[ of dead storage per acre of impervious <br /> surface, see section 3-3.6.1 of rhe City's stormwater manual) in series widi a wedand <br /> treatment cell is the minimum combination of facilities necessary to meet City <br /> redevelopment standards - provided flie wetland treatment cell is designed to maximize <br /> the treatment volume given the area available in the southeast corner of the site. <br /> The we[vault can be provided anywhere in the system between the exis[ing control <br /> manhole and the wedand treatment cell. It may be wise to locate the wetvault upstream <br /> of the pump cliamber so tliat sediment removal is accomplished before the srormwater <br /> is pumped (�vhich should decrease required pump maintenance and increase pump life). <br /> City standards allow a maximum avera�e dead storage depd� of 2A feet in the <br /> treatment cell, with a maximum depth of 2.5 feet. This maximum average depth of 2.0 <br /> fee[ must be used in this design in order to maximize the treatment volurne in the <br /> treatment cell. Ciry standards do not require a fence around a facility widi a maximum <br /> depth less than 3 Peet, as long as the side slopes are no steeper than 3H:1V. If a fence <br /> isn't required but the developer cl:ooses to provide one, the developer is free to choose <br /> [he fence material and height. <br /> The plans must show a planting detail for the wetland treatment cell which meets item <br /> i/10 of the �vetpond standards found in section 3�.5.1 of the Ciry's Stormwater <br /> Management Manual. <br />
