The percentages apply only to the post-construction​ ​stormwater runoff that is attributable to the portion of the site on which the proposed​ ​development or project is to be constructed.​ ​Design Methodology/Discussion​ ​ he runoff rates from the existing condition were determined. The runoff rates from the​ T ​proposed conditions were determined. A study point is modeled at the existing inlet to the rear​ ​of the site at which all runoff from the studied area is collected. A comparison to the pre​ ​construction and post construction rates along with the maximum allowed reduced rates follows.​ ​Current Intensity Storm​ ​Pre Construction​​Rate​ ​Maximum​ ​Post Construction Rate​ ​2 Year Storm 0.38 cfs 0.19 cfs 0.19 cfs​ ​10 Year Storm 0.95 cfs 0.71 cfs 0.66 cfs​ ​100 Year Storm 2.26 cfs 1.81 cfs 1.80 cfs​ ​8​ ​Mailing Address: Post

Because the basin shape is linear​ T ​the spread sheet is run twice with the x and y values transposed.​ ​The specific yield utilized was the default value of 0.15.​ ​The horizontal hydraulic conductivity was set equal to the design permeability rate of 0.5”/hr.​ ​The duration of the infiltration period was calculated as follows.​ ​Infiltrated Vol (0.045 af) (43,560 sf) (12”) / Footprint (1,600 sf) (0.5”/hr) = 29 hrs​ ​The initial thickness of the saturated zone utilized was the default value of 10 feet.​ ​ esults indicate a zero change in mounding at a distance 23.5’ from the long axis of the pond​ R ​and a zero change in mounding at a distance 25’ from the long axis of the pond. There are no​ ​building structures with a basement within the area which would experience an increase of​ ​ground water elevation.​ ​13​ ​Mailing Address: Post Office Box 4304, Warren, NJ 07059​
