Figure 3-13 Typical Pond Outlet Structure<br />
• A number <strong>of</strong> outlets at varying depths in the riser provide flow control for routing <strong>of</strong> the<br />
water quality (for extended wet detention), channel protection, and flood control run<strong>of</strong>f<br />
volumes. The number and configuration <strong>of</strong> the outlets (orifices and weirs) vary, depending<br />
on the specific pond design conditions.<br />
• Ponds must be designed per Kansas dam safety guidelines, when applicable.<br />
• As an example, a wet pond riser configuration is typically comprised <strong>of</strong> a channel<br />
protection outlet (usually an orifice) and flood control outlet (<strong>of</strong>ten a slot or weir). The<br />
channel protection orifice is sized to detain the channel protection storage volume for 24-<br />
hours. Since the WQ V is fully contained in the permanent pool in this example, no orifice<br />
sizing is necessary for this volume. As run<strong>of</strong>f from a water quality event enters the wet<br />
pond, it simply displaces that same volume through the channel protection orifice. Thus<br />
an <strong>of</strong>f-line wet pond providing only water quality treatment can use a simple overflow weir<br />
as the outlet structure.<br />
• In the case <strong>of</strong> an extended detention wet pond or extended detention micropool pond,<br />
there is a need for an additional outlet (usually an orifice) that is sized to pass the<br />
extended detention WQ V that is surcharged on top <strong>of</strong> the permanent pool. Flow will first<br />
pass through this orifice, which is sized to detain the water quality extended detention<br />
volume for 24 hours. All extended detention orifices shall be protected from clogging<br />
using treatments such as those described in Section 5.6.4. The preferred design is a<br />
reverse slope pipe attached to the riser, with its inlet submerged one foot or more below<br />
the elevation <strong>of</strong> the permanent pool to prevent floatables from clogging the pipe and to<br />
avoid discharging warmer water at the surface <strong>of</strong> the pond. The next outlet is usually<br />
sized for the release <strong>of</strong> the channel protection storage volume. The outlet (<strong>of</strong>ten an<br />
orifice) invert is located at the maximum elevation associated with the extended detention<br />
WQ V and is sized in conjunction with the extended detention orifice to detain the channel<br />
protection storage volume for 24-hours.<br />
