Wetpond/Detention• <br /> a <br /> The wetpond volume calculation appears to be incorrect - the amount of impervious <br /> area was given as 0.00 acres in the basin summary. The wetpond volume is equal to ' <br /> the volume of the 6 month, 24-hour developed storm hydrograph. <br /> The standards require a minimum of 50% of the wetpond design volume to be provided <br /> as permanent dead storage and for itte_entiresvetpond.design volume to be reached for <br /> the wetpond design storm (6 month, 24-hour storm). Routing of the wetpond design <br /> storm developed hydrograph through the pond is required to verify that the wetpond <br /> design volume is reached for the design storm. The size of the primary orifice can be <br /> decreased as necessary, to a minimum allowable orifice size of I inch, to back up <br /> enough live storage. If a 1 inch orifice doesn't result in the required live storage in the <br /> pond (during the wetpond design storm), then the percentage of the wetpond design <br /> volume provided as dead storage must be increased until the combination of dead <br /> storage and peak live storage equals the wetpond design volume. <br /> The control structure must ensure that detention release rates do not exceed allowable <br /> release rates tied that the detained volume in the pond reaches or exceeds the wetpond <br /> design volume for the wetpond design storm. Orifice calculations must show that the <br /> control structure is meeting both these requirements. <br /> City standards require a two-cell wetpond design, with 3 to 6 feet of dead storage in <br /> the first cell (called the open water cell in the City's standards) or in a wetvault. A <br /> maximum of 70% of the wetpond design volume may be associated with the open water <br /> cell or wetvault. A minimum volume equal to a 15 minute detention time for the peak <br /> flow from the design storm (approximately 160 cubic feet per acre of contributing <br /> impervious surface for a 6 month, 24-hour storm) must be associated with the open <br /> water cell or a wetvault. <br /> A minimum of 30% of the required permanent storage volume, with an average depth <br /> not exceeding 1.33 feet, is required to be associated with the second cell. This cell is <br /> called the wetland treatment cell. <br /> The design depth of dead storage in the wetpond and the percentage of the dead storage <br /> provided in cacti cell must he given in the calculation package. <br /> The required detention volume can be provided as live storage in addition to the dead <br /> storage. Live storage provided to meet wetpond design volume requirements counts <br /> towards required detention volume. <br /> The area of the pond bottom and the area of the pond at the dead storage elevation must <br /> be given in the calculation package to show that the required dead storage volume is <br /> provided. <br /> Oil/water separator/grit removal vat <br /> The MDNS requires an oil/water separator with 250 gallons of live storage to colic-t <br /> water from prodL.t transfer areas, if a vault with an oil/stop valve is not feasible. If a <br /> separator is provided, it should receive runoff only from product transfer areas, to the <br />
