Drainage Report -Addition to Fire Station #2
Introduction
The proposed project is located on FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) at its
intersection with Rio Grande Drive. The project consists of additions and modifications to an
existing building and site fora 1.7-acre tract. No portion of the project lies within the current
boundaries of the regulatory 100-year Floodplain for the City of College Station. The project
lies within the Bee Creek Tributary "B" drainage basin.
Existing Drainage Patterns
The site is developed at this time. Existing land cover consists of buildings, landscaped
areas, and parking areas. The site is at a ridge of the drainage basin, therefore off-site flows are
effectively none. The site discharges stormwater flows from the building and parking areas to
the northwest via a concrete flume into a roadside ditch along FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell
Parkway). The remaining portions of the site discharge overland sheet flows to the southwest to
a drainage Swale located off the property. Sheet C 10 of the project plans depicts the existing site
and topography.
Proposed Drainage Patterns
The proposed grading and drainage improvements are depicted on Sheet C 13. The
improvements will add approximately 5500 SF of impervious area. The proposed building finish
floor will be raised 1'-4" above the existing building finish floor. The drainage patterns and
outfall locations will remain virtually the same. The drive into the equipment bays will be sloped
to drain away from the building into Rio Grande Drive, which has capacity to handle the minor
increase in flow this represents. For the total site, the numerical discharges calculated from the
increase in impervious area is less than 1 CFS for rainfall rates up to the 100-year storm. Within
the realm of engineering hydrology, this is effectively no increase in discharge.
Conclusions
The proposed construction will result in no increase in stormwater discharges from the
site. Accordingly, the proposed project meets the drainage requirements of the City of College
Station.
