Purpose and Scope of Report
This study evaluates the Mahan Subdivison project from a storm water management perspective.
It supplies data, calculations, and design criteria that were used to evaluate the site concerning
storm runoff.
Runoff from snowmelt is typically very large in volume but because it happens over a much
longer time period, the peak flows are typically much less than a rainfall event. Therefore storm
water is defined in this study to be surface water that is a direct result from a rainfall event.
Rainfall events are defined from the probability of the magnitude of an event occurring within a
given number of years.
Storm water management in this study was concerned with the runoff from a large magnitude
storm compared to the capacity of the existing culverts. All flows are listed in units of cubic feet
per second (cfs) unless otherwise noted.
This study will provide a project overview, a brief description of the methodology, a discussion
of the analysis performed, and the results of the analysis.
Project Overview
The Mahan Subdivision project is located to the south of the City of Glenwood Springs, in
Garfield County, Colorado. It is located on Black Diamond Mine Road off of Four Mile Road.
The project is at an approximate elevation of 6,800 feet, is at approximately latitude N
39°27'20", longitude W 107°19'55", and is in Section 9, of Township 7 South, Range 89 West,
in the 6th Principal Meridian. It is a project involving an area of approximately 20.8 acres.
The proposed project will divided the property into 2 lots. Lot 1 will contain approximately 5.7
acres on the northeastern portion of the project. Lot 2 will contain approximately 15.1 acres and
the remainder of the project. Black Diamond Mine Road creates a natural division between the
two proposed lots and each lot currently contains an existing residence with assorted out
buildings. No new construction is proposed.
It is the intent of this study to evaluate the existing drainage system through the project site using
the 25 -year storm event and comment on the 100 -year storm event.
Methodology
The design of a storm water management plan begins with a calculation of the volume of water
that will be produced from a rainfall event. The SCS TR -55 method was used for estimating the
amount of runoff that will occur. This method calculates runoff from SCS curve number, basin
area, precipitation, and time of concentration.

SCS Curve Number
A curve number is assigned to a basin that gives a relationship between the amount of
precipitation that becomes surface water and the amount of water that is lost to
infiltration, evaporation, or transpiration. The SCS curve number is a function of soil
type, vegetative-cover/land-use, and antecedent moisture conditions. SCS soils and
vegetative-cover/land-use are shown in Figure 1. Because the land -use and the soil types
vary through the drainage basin, a composite curve number is assigned based on the
weight of the area and its respective curve number. The curve number calculations are
attached in the Appendix.
Basin Area
Drainage basins have the characteristic that any precipitation falling within that area will
drain to the same point of discharge. Basins were delineated from project topographic
maps as shown in Figure 1.
Precipitation
Extreme runoff events from urban areas in western Colorado are caused by cloudburst
type storms that are characterized by short periods of high intensity rainfall. The SCS
Type II 24-hour distribution reflects this and was used for this study.
Estimating rainfall for engineering applications is based on the probability of the
magnitude of a storm occurring within a return period. Volume III of the NOAA Atlas 2
maps for Colorado was used for defining design storm rainfall depths for modeled events
at the Mahan Subdivision. The following table presents total precipitation depths for the
100, 25, and 2 -year, 24-hour events. The NOAA Atlas Maps are attached in the
Appendix.

Time of Concentration
Manning's kinematic flow equation was used to estimate flow velocity. Length and
velocity of flow are used to calculate time. Three flow elements are used: overland -flow,
collector -channel flow, and main -channel flow. The parameters needed to determine the
flow elements include length, slope, Manning's "n" value, and channel shape. These
parameters were determined from topography. The time of concentration calculations are
attached in the Appendix.
Analysis
The following table summarizes the existing drainage characteristics for the drainage basins
delineated:

The flows for the drainage basins were calculated using the SCS TR -55 method described above.
The drainage basins, along with the concentration paths, are shown in Figure 1. Since flow is not
increased from existing levels, detention is not warranted. The flows are summarized in the
following table for the 25 -year and 100 -year storm events. All calculations are attached for

Results
The drainage study essentially verified the adequacy of the existing drainage system to convey
the Garfield County required 25 -year storm. The road side culverts under driveway accesses are
12" culverts that have capacity for the 25 -year storm. During a 100 -year storm these culverts are
anticipated to surcharge causing minor flooding on the edges of the road. The road does have a
cross slope that is anticipated to control the flooding to some degree to the outside edges.
There are two existing pipes beneath the Black Diamond Road one is a 15" culvert and the other
is an 18" culvert. Either have the capacity to convey the 25 -year flows. The 15" and the 18"
have the capacity for the 100 -year storm but the inlets are not ideal to capture the flows. Some
entrance losses are to be expected that may cause some flooding. As a result of this, the subject
property would likely experience some flooding because the site is below these culverts. To
mitigate this, a berm 12" in height above the top of the 18" pipe, surrounding the inlet would be
recommended to capture the surcharged water caused by entrance losses. However, this would
be to capture a storm larger than the mandated 25 -year storm and is a recominendation instead of
a requirement.

Drainage Report
Mahan Subdivision
May, 2005
The Black Diamond Road surface is a base course aggregate (gravel) road and a substantial
amount has filled the culverts along the sides of the road. Since the culverts in the calculations
assume a full diameter available for conveyance, the road fill greatly limits their capacity. With
out this capacity, there is a greater probability of flooding during storms of smaller magnitudes
than the 25 -year event. These culverts will therefore need to be cleaned. They should also be
periodically inspected, cleaned, and maintained. At the time of the preparation of this report the
road was being graded and resurfaced by the County. Cleaning of the culverts was anticipated as
part of this work but should be verified.
There is a certain amount of uncertainty in hydrologic calculations. However, it is our opinion
that the existing culverts will safely convey the runoff flows and volume of the 25 -year design
storm event for this site.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this report. Feel free to call if you have any questions,
concerns, or continents.
