    Technical Bulletin: Envisssentinel Equivalency For Storm Calculator Raingardens

    The document compares the stormwater treatment effectiveness of Rocla's envissSentinelTM Media Filter pits to raingardens as modeled in Melbourne Water's STORM Calculator. It shows that for an equivalent rating in the STORM Calculator for TSS, TP, and TN removal: 1) A 100m2 raingarden area is equivalent to 1 envissSentinelTM pit, and a 300m2 raingarden is equivalent to 2 pits. 2) The envissSentinelTM requires no pre-designated ponding or planting area like raingardens, with pits placed directly in paved areas flush with the surface and only 50mm of ponding between pavers and the sediment trap

    envissSentinel Equivalency for STORM Calculator Raingardens

    Melbourne Water has an on-line design tool - known as STORM Calculator - to assist in
    assessing the stormwater treatment requirements for small-scale developments
    within Melbourne.

    The calculator uses basic input information about the subject catchment and assesses the
    relative compliance of the proposed solution in meeting the Melbourne Water ‘Best Practice
    Environmental Management (BPEM) Guidelines – TSS – 80%, TP – 45%, TN – 45%. The
    output is presented as a rating (%) relative to these standard target figures.

    Treatment measures available for selection include rainwater tanks, ponds, wetlands,
    infiltration, raingardens & buffer strips. Rocla has undertaken a comparative assessment of
    TM
    its envissSentinel Media Filter (using MUSIC V6.1) so as to provide a further option for
    design consultants to achieve desired treatment outcomes.

    TM
    The following figures show relative equivalencies of the envissSentinel Media Filter to the
    Storm Calculator’s raingarden estimate.

    Raingarden Assumptions:
    • Filter surface area is equal to
    ponding area
    • Filter depth is 0.5m
    • No soil exfiltration
    • Hydraulic conductivity is 200mm/hr

    Storm Calculator Assumptions:


    100% rating = BPEM Guidelines
    • 80% TSS
    • 45% TP
    • 45%TN

    General MUSIC V6.1 Assumptions:


    MUSIC defaults are used except where
    replaced by Storm Calculator inputs.

    TM
    envissSentinel Assumptions:
    • Hydraulic conductivity is 2000mm/hr
    • Ponding depth 50mm
    (flush with surface)

    * Ponding depth above media surface with a projected area equal to the raingarden area.
    #* Needs to be positioned where extra ponding depth does not cause loss of serviceability or safety hazard

    The comparison makes various assumptions about the


    options modelled (stated above), but key to the
    TM
    comparison is that the envissSentinal requires no pre-
    designated area be set aside for ponding and functional
    planting with pits placed directly within paved areas,
    flush with the surface.

    Typical Surface Inlet Arrangement  

    TM
    envissSentinal requires only 50mm ponding, which is
    provided between the permeable paver and the top of
    the sediment trap
