170th Trail NW Rain Garden January 7, 2016 Page 2 home is constructed in the sub -watershed. We assumed that for a full build out condition, the remaining 3 developable lots will have a similar sized home. Under full build conditions, approximately 0.48 acres of pervious area and 0.23 acres of impervious area (approximately 32% impervious) will ultimately discharge to the proposed rain garden. The 1-inch, 1-year, 2-year, 5-year and 10-year return interval rainfall events were analyzed assuming a total storm duration of 24-hours. Table 1 describes the Atlas 14 rainfall depth and resulting rates and volumes of runoff anticipated. Table 1: Summary of anticipated subwatershed conditions draining to the proposed rain garden. Rainfall Runoff Runoff Rainfall Depth Rate Volume Event (in) (cfs) (cu ft) 1" Event 1.0 0.3 655 1-Year 2.46 0.6 1440 2-Year 2.86 0.9 2035 5-Year 3.59 1.4 3250 10-Year 4.26 2.0 4490 The rain garden was also analyzed for water quality. The results can be used as a planning tool to make decisions based on this rain garden size and similar watershed conditions. In other words, if additional rain gardens were planned in this neighborhood, estimated pollutant load reductions can be prorated based on these results. Table 2 below summarizes the anticipated total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) reductions. Table 2: Summary of pollutant loading and removal.
