<strong>Engineering</strong> <strong>Standards</strong><br />

Version 6/19/12<br />

The Engineer shall include a completed Storm Drain Calculations Spreadsheet (see Figure 3) in<br />

the construction plans. A description <strong>of</strong> the run<strong>of</strong>f calculations is provided below followed by a<br />

description <strong>of</strong> the hydraulic design calculations:<br />

• Column 1: Enter the downstream storm drain station number.<br />

• Column 2: Enter the upstream storm drain station number. This is the design point.<br />

Design should start at the farthest upstream point.<br />

• Column 3: Enter the distance (in feet) between the storm drain stations.<br />

• Column 4: Enter the designation <strong>of</strong> the drainage area(s) at the design point in Column 2<br />

corresponding to the designations shown on the drainage area map.<br />

• Column 5: Enter the area in acres for the drainage area identified in Column 4.<br />

• Column 6: Enter the total drainage area in acres within the system corresponding to<br />

storm drain station shown in Column 2.<br />

• Column 7: Enter the run<strong>of</strong>f coefficient “C” for the drainage area shown in Column 5.<br />

• Column 8: Multiply Column 5 by Column 7 for each area.<br />

• Column 9: Determine the total “CA” for the drainage system corresponding to the inlet<br />

or manhole shown in Column 2.<br />

• Column 10: Determine inlet time <strong>of</strong> concentration.<br />

• Column 11: Determine flow time in the storm drain in minutes. The flow time is equal<br />

to the distance in Column 3 divided by 60 times the velocity <strong>of</strong> flow through the storm<br />

drain in ft/sec.<br />

• Column 12: Total time <strong>of</strong> concentration in minutes. Column 10 plus Column 11. Note<br />

that time <strong>of</strong> concentration only changes at a downstream junction with another drainage<br />

area(s). It remains the same from an inlet or junction to the next inlet or junction picking<br />

up additional drainage areas. The junction <strong>of</strong> two paired inlets with each other is not a<br />

downstream junction.<br />

• Column 13: The intensity <strong>of</strong> rainfall in inches per hour for the 100-year storm frequency.<br />

• Column 14: The 100-year storm run<strong>of</strong>f in cfs. Column 9 times Column 13.<br />

• Column 15: The proposed inlet carryover from upstream inlets during a 100-year storm.<br />

This should generally correspond to the carryover flow in Column 10 <strong>of</strong> the Inlet<br />

Spreadsheet (minor variances may occur due to travel time routing in the Hydraulics<br />

Table).<br />

• Column 16: The proposed inlet carryover during a 100-year storm. This should<br />

generally correspond to the carryover flow “q” in Column 38 <strong>of</strong> the Inlet Spreadsheet<br />

(minor variances may occur due to travel time routing in the Hydraulics Table).<br />

• Column 17: Design Discharge for the storm drain system (“Qpipe”) in cfs<br />
