STILLING BASIN (Plunge Pool) - Stilling basins may be used at pipe outfalls where the discharge is at<br />

or near horizontal, <strong>and</strong> sufficient room exists to construct the basin between the pipe <strong>and</strong> the receiving<br />

watercourse. The size <strong>and</strong> shape of stilling basins is based upon the anticipated scour hole below a<br />

pipe outfall due to a design discharge. Experience has shown that the size <strong>and</strong> amount of the riprap<br />

required for a stilling basin are often less than would be required for a riprap apron.<br />

Vernon County L<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Water Conservation<br />

Stilling basins should be designed <strong>and</strong> constructed according to the details shown in St<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

Construction Detail # 9-4. Geotextile may be substituted for the filter stone underlayment.<br />

The minimum vertical distance from the bottom of the pipe to the maximum water surface elevation is<br />

12 inches.<br />
