Ms. Katie Larsen <br />08/06/2025 <br />Page 3 <br />Nature Refuge North Addition Engineering Review <br />Existing 0.26 0.95 8.68 Needed if basins <br />landlocked <br />Proposed 0.45 1.07 7.46 Needed if basins <br />landlocked <br /> <br />Comments: <br />1. Outflow rates increase for all modeled storm events beyond what can be attributed to <br />model accuracy. Further attempts at providing rate control must be made. For <br />example, ditching flows from back yards to the inlets routing to BMPs, lowering the <br />FES north of Wetland 50 to better route flows into Pond 500, or small rate-control <br />basins at areas that cannot reasonably be routed into a BMP. <br />a. If increases cannot be avoided, it must be demonstrated that they will not <br />cause an adverse downstream impact. <br />Carlson (4/25/2025) Flows have been adjusted and plans modified. <br />WSB (5/23/2025) Updated modeling shows the total existing flow rates are <br />maintained, decrease, or increase within model tolerance. Rate control is met with <br />this current design. <br /> <br />2. The SWMP water quality calculations show 0.90 acres of existing impervious, <br />however the HydroCAD existing modeling has 3.57 acres of unconnected roof land <br />cover. Please clarify these differences. <br />Carlson (4/25/2025) Existing impervious adjusted within water quality calculations. <br />WSB (5/23/2025) Complete <br />3. Please revise the Water Quality calculations in the SWMP as they do not match <br />HydroCAD modeling. For instance, HydroCAD modeling shows 16.86 total acres and <br />7.52 acres of impervious routed to Pond 600, but the SWMP has a total area of 9.77 <br />acres and 0.196 acres of impervious. <br />Carlson (4/25/2025) Water quality calculation updated. <br />WSB (5/23/2025) The SWMP still shows incorrect land covers for the Water Quality <br />calculations of Pond 500 and 600. The planned drainage areas well exceed 0.973 <br />and 2.511 acres, respectively. <br />Additionally, 9.02 acres of impervious area are claimed to be directed to ponds 500 <br />and 600, but the submitted HydroCAD models only include 8.59 acres of impervious <br />in the pond subcatchments. Compared to the 11.19 acres of total proposed <br />impervious, there is significantly more than the 15% limit of new impervious not being <br />treated for water quality as required in RCWD Rule C.6.(e). <br />Comment remains open. The Water Quality calculation pages still need to be <br />corrected and total impervious not routed to BMPs is still over the 15% threshold. <br />Carlson (6/6/2025) Revised. <br />Note that within Pond 600 calculations, Subcatchments 25B, 30, 35, 600 & 601 will <br />flow into Pond 600. Pond 500 has 1 subcatchment. Also added calculations for <br />runoff control at the water quality volume for both ponds. <br /> <br />Per discussion, the impervious not being treated is all rear yard drainage. These <br />areas will be filtered through grassed yards, wooded outlots, wetlands, and a dry <br />pond. TSS and TP removals will occur and can be calculated through a MIDS model <br />if necessary. Assumption is that most if not all the TSS and TP will be removed. <br />WSB (6/25/2025) Complete <br /> <br />4. NURP criteria specify a maximum depth of 10’. Pond 500 has a depth of 11’, raising <br />the bottom elevation to 10’ will bring it into NURP compliance and still keep the <br />majority of its dead volume. <br />Carlson (4/25/2025) Pond 500 has been revised to a depth of 10’ <br />Page 109 of 168
