    Equipment

    Calculator
    Journal
    Computer with Internet access
    Rational Formula Runoff Coefficient table (from Activity 2.3.11 Calculating
    Property Drainage)
    Rational Formula Runoff Coefficient Adjustment Factor table
    (from Activity 2.3.11 Calculating Property Drainage)

    Procedure
    For this activity you will need to review the Rational Method for calculating storm
    water runoff as presented in Activity 2.3.6 Residential Drainage Plan.

    The Rational Formula is:


    Q=CfCiA
    Q = Peak runoff rate in cubic feet per second
    i = Rainfall intensity in inches per hour (see map)
    A = Drainage area in acres
    C = Runoff coefficient (see table)
    Cf = Runoff coefficient adjustment factor (see table)

    Constraints
    Although the Keystone property was previously developed, conservatively
    assume that the pre-existing condition of the site was a turf meadow.
    Use storm duration of 1 hour for this calculation.
    Stormwater design should meet the requirements of the City of Noblesville
    Stormwater Technical Standards Manual (STSM)
    (http://www.cityofnoblesville.org/egov/docs/1188914102_387664.pdf ) except
    as follows:
    o Use the design requirements for a drainage area less than or equal to 5 acres in size
    (although the site is larger than 5 acres) for simplicity.
    o Neglect any stormwater runoff that is generated offsite and diverted to the Keystone
    site. Assume that the area of the Keystone site is the drainage area for stormwater
    calculations.

    1. Research the storm water requirements for the Keystone Site as regulated
    in the Noblesville Code of Ordinance (Article 6), the City of Noblesville
    Stormwater Technical Standards Manual. Answer the following questions.
    o Is the Rational Method allowed for drainage areas larger
    than 5 acres in size? (Section 201)
    no
    o Is the Rational Method allowed for drainage areas less than or equal to 5 acres in
    size?
    yes
    o Record the runoff coefficients dictated by the STSM that you will need to calculate

    site runoff.
    (pavement) .85
    o On which return period(s) must the stormwater detention design be based? (Section
    302)
    24 Hrs.
    o What are acceptable detention facilities? (Section 302)
    ponds/basins
    o Can the Rational Method be used to calculate the required volume of stormwater
    storage for development sites less than or equal to 5 acres? (Section 302)
    yes
    o Record the rainfall intensity for both a 10-year/1-hour storm and a 100-year/1 hour
    storm. 2.03 and 3.03
    2. Calculate the change in site runoff using the Rational Method for both a
    10-year/1hour storm and a 100-year/1 hour storm. (for 5 acres)
    a. (2.03 x 1.25 x .95 x 5) - (2.03 x 1.25 x .18 x 5) = 9.769
    b. (3.03 x 1 x .95 x 5) - (3.03 x 1 x .18 x 5) = 11.6655
    3. Estimate the volume of storm water runoff using the rule of thumb from
    the presentation.
    4. Estimate the size of a retention pond for the site. Include the pond on your
    preliminary site plan sketch from Activity 3.4.2 Parking Lot Design.
    5. After viewing the Low Impact Development presentation, revise your
    preliminary site design to include at least one additional Low Impact
    Development technique.
    6. Update your Keystone Library Renovation site plan to include your site
    design elements.
