<strong>Design</strong> Example – Sizing <strong>of</strong> Water <strong>Quality</strong> Combination Basin in <strong>Sacramento</strong> CountyWatershed and Basin DataWatershed Area = 210 acresWatershed Imperviousness = 39%Basin Type = Combination Water <strong>Quality</strong> Basin also used for Flood Control1. Calculate the Water <strong>Quality</strong> Storage Volume (WQV)For a Water <strong>Quality</strong> Detention Basin, the WQV is calculated from the methodology inAppendix E using a 48-hour drawdown time.• From Figure E-3 the unit storage is determined to be 0.29 inches• WQV = 0.29 (in) x 210 (acre) ÷ 12 = 5.1 acre-feet• Permanent Pool Volume = 0.625 x WQV = 3.2 acre-feet• Wet Weather Pool Volume = 0.500 x WQV = 2.5 acre-feet2. Size the Sediment ForebayThe sediment forebay size should be 5 to 10 percent <strong>of</strong> the maximum total design volume.• Minimum Sediment Forebay Volume = (3.2 + 2.5) x 0.05 = 0.29 acre-feet minimum3. <strong>Design</strong> the BasinDetention basin layouts will vary significantly based on site specific conditions. For thisexample, it is assumed that the permanent pool will have an average depth <strong>of</strong> 4 feet and alength to width ratio <strong>of</strong> 3 to 1. Based on these requirements, the bottom dimensions <strong>of</strong> thebasin will be 300’ x 100’ (L x W) and the side slopes will be 3 to 1. The hypothetical basinwill have the following elevation storage relationship.Elev.
