I. Required permits: May include but are not limited to state and county flood control permits, Railroad crossing permits, United States Army Corp. of Engineer permits, Utah Division of Water Quality permits, Utah Division of Water Rights permits, etc. J. Letters From Irrigation Users: Prior to approval of the development, the developer shall obtain the written approval of the water users of any ditch to be piped, or abandoned. 1.06 POLICIES

A. Drainage Review Policy: Any proposed construction on public or private property within the limits of West Jordan City requiring either a building permit application or formal approval by the City shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineering Department. Sufficient information shall be provided to determine drainage characteristics inside and outside the project boundaries. If surrounding areas contribute surface and/or storm water runoff to the project area, this additional runoff must be addressed in the project design. B. Drainage Approvals from other Governing Authorities: In the event that proposed construction shall direct surface and/or storm water runoff to properties or facilities owned and maintained by agents other than West Jordan City, written proof or permission or approval from these agents must be provided prior to acceptance of drainage concepts and subsequent issuance of City drainage approval. C. Restrictive Discharge Policy: the restrictive discharge policy requires on-site detention of all surface and storm water runoff within a commercial, industrial, or multi-family project area, and restricts the eventual discharge of this runoff to a maximum allowable discharge rate of 0.20 cubic feet per second per acre of development. The amount of storm water may be further restricted by the capacity of existing storm drains, or drainage facilities, as determined by the City Engineer. In the event such additional restrictions are necessary, the Developer shall provide additional detention storage of a capacity designated by the City Engineer. The requirements of collection and the restriction of the quantity of runoff discharge necessitates the engineering design of on-site storage facilities, and encourages water quality treatment, as well as controlled runoff discharge through storm drain piping. D. Design Discharge Point: Design discharge points shall be agreed upon prior to Plan approval. For projects where the Restrictive Discharge Policy is not applicable, there is no established discharge rate restriction. However, pipe or channel discharge connections shall be limited to the capacity available for the project as determined in the review process. All development is required to connect to an a approved storm water system. E. Natural Drainage Channels: During the course of the development the developer shall not alter any natural drainage channel without obtaining permission therefor from the appropriate agency having jurisdiction over the drainage channel. As a rule, natural drainage channels will not be piped except at road crossings. F. Storm Water Pollution Prevention: Any proposed construction on public or private property within the limits of West Jordan City requiring either a building permit application or formal approval by the City shall submit an Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for review by the City Engineer.

G. Water Quality: It is City policy and the developer=s responsibility wherever attainable to restore, protect and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of City and State waters and to restore their beneficial uses. To do so, drainage design shall address the treatment of surface and storm water runoff, both wet-weather and dry-weather discharges. H. High Ground Water Table: West Jordan City requires that "if a water table problem exists, provisions will be made to control the water to ensure dry basements." Every effort should be made to ensure dry basements even so far to construct homes with limited or no basements. I. Special Flood Hazard: Must adhere to sections 88-6-(401-409) of city code. 1.07 HYDROLOGIC INFORMATION

A. Rainfall Data -The project engineer shall create an intensity-duration-frequency curve to place in the calculations folder. In the absence of approved rainfall storm frequency information, the following table provides conservative rainfall data for West Jordan City. Table 3.1 Rainfall Data Storm Duration Rainfall Intensity 10 Year Design Storm 15 min 30 min 60 min 360 min 720 min 1440 min 2.16 in / hr 1.50 in / hr 0.90 in / hr 0.25 in / hr 0.15 in /hr 0.10 in / hr 100 Year Design Storm 3.6 in / hr 2.5 in / hr 1.45 in / hr 0.33 in / hr 0.225 in / hr 0.125 in / hr

B. Peak Flow (Rational Method)For projects under 200 acres, peak storm water flow may be calculated using the rational method when the following assumptions apply: 1. the entire watershed is contributing to the storm water flow, 2. the rainfall is uniform over the entire watershed, 3. the rainfall is uniform over the a duration of time equal to the time of concentration, 4. and when the coefficient of runoff is the same for all design storms. 5. Peak flow Qp = C * I * A
City of West Jordan Ch. 3 Pg. 5 Storm Drain

Where C = weighted runoff coefficient, See Table 3.2, I = rainfall intensity for design storm at time of concentration (in/hr), A = tributary watershed area (acres) C. Runoff Coefficient: Acceptable values for the runoff coefficient AC@ is shown in Table 3.2. If a basin contains different types of ground cover a composited or weighted runoff coefficient can be calculated using the following formula:

D. Rainfall Intensity (Time of Concentration): Rainfall intensity for the appropriate design storm may be chosen from an intensity-duration-frequency curve when a time of concentration for the point under investigation is known. An acceptable method for calculating the time of concentration includes calculations for the flow velocity of individual segments of the flow path, (e.g., sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, open channel flow, pipe flow, etc.). The sum of the travel times within the flow path will equal the time of concentration. All calculations and equations used to calculate the time of concentration shall be provided in the storm drain calculation report. Sample time of concentration equations from Federal Highway Administration=s Urban Drainage Design Manual:

1. Sheet Flow Travel Time: Where T = travel time for segment (min) n = manning=s roughness coefficient (see table 3.4) L = flow length (ft) (limited to 300 feet) I = rainfall intensity (in/hr) S = slope (ft/ft) Kc = 0.933 2. Shallow Concentrated Flow: V = k * Sp0.5 Where V = velocity k = intercept coefficient (See table 3.3) Sp = slope, percent Table 3.3 Intercept Coefficients - k (Urban Drainage Design Manual) Description Short grass pasture Cultivated Nearly bare (untilled) Grass waterway Paved area 3. Open Channel or Pipe Flow: k - value 0.213 0.274 0.305 0.457 0.619

detention storage of a capacity designated by the Director of Developmental Services. 6. Access: all detention facilities shall include access ramps that shall be a minimum of fifteen (15) feet in width and have a slope no greater than ten percent. 7. Temporary Facilities: The City may approve temporary drainage facilities providing for onsite detention that will allow development to continue pending completion of the permanent storm drainage improvements. The temporary facilities shall provide the same level of flood protection at all times that will be provided by the completed systems. All costs of temporary facilities shall be paid by the developer in addition to the other costs and fees. 1.04 STORM WATER QUALITY

1. Best Management Practices : The project engineer shall also use Best Management practices in the design of storm water quality facilities in West Jordan. An example of said facilities may include but not be limited to: 1. Extended Detention Pond - similar to conventional detention ponds except storage times are extended to allow sediments to settle out. A modification to the extended detention pond may be a two stage extended detention pond. It is designed so that a small portion of the pond is used for water quality, and a larger portion is used for water quantity control. 2. Oil & Grease Separators - All residential detention ponds as well as commercial, industrial, or multi-family developments shall be required as a minimum to install an oil, water, and grease separator immediately before they release storm water to the public system. Construct as per plan SD-17, or as approved by the City Engineer. 3. Pocket Wetlands - Wetland areas before discharge into a natural stream or channel will use biological agents to clean storm water before it reaches a natural water course. 2. Storm Water Pollution Prevention: Prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as described in the end of the chapter. Please include a graphical representation of the proposed plan, as well as a sequence for the construction of erosion control elements. Such a plan should consider site management measures, structural erosion control measures, and soil stabilization measures. As a rule the general goals are to 1. Keep the soil at its original location, 2. Keep the soil close to its original location, 3. Keep the soil on-site. 3. Site Management Measures: May include: 1. A limit to the amount of disturbed area.

City of West Jordan Ch. 3 Pg. 14

Storm Drain

2. A sequence of disturbance. 3. Identify specific areas that can be stabilized immediately after construction takes place. 4. Specify a maintenance schedule. 4. Soil Stabilization Measures: Include planting ground cover such as grasses, mulches, straw, etc. and temporary soil binders that must be sprayed onto soil. 5. Structural Erosion Control Measures: Structural controls typically intercept runoff before it flows over disturbed areas, or divert it to a controlled area after it flows through a disturbed area. Such devices may consist of but not be limited to: 1. Check Dams- Intercept and ponds runoff allowing sediment to settle to the bottom of the pond. May be made of a variety of materials including straw, stone, vegetated berm, etc. 2. Filter Fabric Fence - Also act to intercept and pond surface runoff. Allows water to exit through the silt fence leaving the sediment behind. Works well along a project boundary and on slopes. 3. Mulch - temporary stabilization of disturbed surfaces using mulch. It can protect the soil form rainfall impacts and inhibits sheet flow. Will also protect re-seeded areas until natural vegetation has the chance to grow. Best used on slopes. 4. Slope Drains - collects storm water and transports it safely down a steep slope. Used in connection with a check dam to prevent erosion of the slope. 5. Curb Inlet Barrier - last chance to prevent sediment from reaching the storm drain system. Sediment is typically removed by a filter which may be gravel, filter fabric, or other approved material before it is allowed to reach the inlet. 6. Inlet / Outlet Protection for Channels, Pipes, Inlets - Prevents erosion of channels, streams, and ditches when a point discharge enters a natural system. Typically consists of rip rap, or concrete structure to absorb the energy of the discharge. 7. Sediment Basins- collect and store sediment transported by streams and ditches. Works by reducing storm water velocity so that sediment will settle out. Used primarily when near a natural stream, channel , or waters of the United States of America. 8. Construction Entrances and Wash Down Pads - Prevent construction vehicles from transporting sediment from the job site to a city street. Typically consist of gravel and a filter fabric. 9. Dust Control Measures - Prevent erosion of disturbed area by wind. 6. Rip Rap Design: The project engineer shall present separate design details regarding erosion control at inlet and outlet=s of storm water systems. Proper rip rap design shall include:
