The maximum allowable depth in vegetated swales is 6 inches <br />for emergent �;wales. <br />The following information Is required for City revieG and <br />approval of vegetated swales: <br />1) design flow calculation <br />2) velocity and flow depth calculations <br />3) bypass sizing calculations <br />4) copy of site plan showing the contributing area <br />5) calculation of the hydraulic residence time in the <br />swale <br />PLAN REV=EN COMMENTS <br />Vegetate3 awales: <br />The following requirements and drawings from the City�s <br />Design and Construction Standards an3 Specifications should <br />be included on both the drainage plans and on any landscape <br />plans For the area: <br />�� 1) The City's vegetated swale construction <br />requirements from section 4-12.4(2). <br />Z� 4) <br />The vegetated swale planting requirements, <br />including the vegetated swale seed and wetland <br />plant lists from section 4-12.3. <br />The swale cross sections and plan view shown in <br />City standard drawing #419. <br />The vegetated swale maintenance requirements from <br />section 4-12.5 of the City's standards. <br />Vegetated swales are to be designed with a minimum freeboard <br />�•' of 0.5 feet above the ma�imum design depth. <br />City standards require the entire associated side slope of <br />J the swale, from the bottom of the swale to the top of the <br />adjacent bank, to have a maximum slope of 3:1 unless <br />rockeries or retaining walls are used. <br />The retaining walls constructed in association with the <br />swale may not provide the required 0.5 feet of freeboard. <br />Therefore, the location where the 3:1 side slope of the <br />L� swale meets the retaining wall must be 1.5 horizontal fee'.: <br />from the maximum design water level in the swale. <br />The maximum design depth of flow in the swale should be <br />�� shown on the swale cross-sectional detail. <br />� �I� �` `�Landscaping may <br />��,�i�� ��� the swale. <br />cc��l ° ���^ r,�� `{�-t� <br />1��„�hcc�!U! �L, ��l�ky ��bM� <br />i�.1"U �� (' <br />I ��, <br />not be provided within the freeboard area of ✓ <br />
