Case File #05-041
Dear Ms . George :
This letter transmits the revised site development documents outlined in your Memorandum dated April
22 , 2005 for the proposed Audio Video Building planned to be located on the northern side of University
Drive East, west of the intersection with Spring Loop in College Station, Texas .
The submitted site development documents include the following three (3) separate items:
( 1) Nine (9) complete sets of the site construction plans prepared by CSC and including the
attached copies of the revised site plan and landscape plan (six (6) "public" copies of the
plans for the City of College Station and three (3) "private" copies of the plans for the
contractor, owner/developer, and site engineer); and
(2) two copies of the revised site plan as prepared by CSC Engineering & Environmental
Consultants, Inc . and labeled as SP-I ; and
(3) one copy of the revised landscape plan as prepared by the Land Design Group , Inc . and
labeled as L-1 .
A listing of the individual construction drawings is presented in the accompanying Table 1
The submitted site plan, landscape plan, and construction drawings have all been revised to address the
comments of the City of College Station staff as outlined in the previously referenced Memorandum . The
presently submitted construction documents also reflect the changes discussed for the site plan and the
landscape plan. More specifically, an erosion protection detail for the existing stormwater inlets has been
added to Sheet C-7 . With respect to the second comment, Sheet C-2, which is entitled Site Plan , is
included with the construction drawing set but it is intended to be less detailed that the single sheet site
plan labeled as Sheet SP-I which is submitted to the City for code and regulatory compliance review .
For example, Sheet SP-I will contain parking space calculations which do not need to be on the
contractor 's site plan. Therefore, Sheet C-2 is not intended to replace Sheet SP-I, but merely to be a
pared down version of the site plan with only the basic information needed for provided an overall view
of the scope of construction . Details indicated on Sheet SP-1 .1, such as paving sections , do not need to be
repeated on Sheet C-2 since such details are located on other sheets of the construction plans.

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
This report documents the information used in the formulation of the stormwater drainage system
for the proposed Audio Video Building development being constructed by Britt Rice Electric, L.P . (BRE)
in College Station , Texas.
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Information concerning the project was provided by Mr. Kenny Walsh , Project Manager with
BRE, the general contractor for the project, and by Mr. Brett Cumpton, AIA , with the project architects,
Cumpton & Associates .
2.1 SITE LOCATION
The property which is the subject of the proposed development and this drainage report is situated
on the northern side of University Drive East, approximately 1,500 to 1,600 ft west of the intersection
with Spring Loop (see Figure 1 -Vicinity Map in Appendix A ; all figures referenced in the report are in
Appendix A). The site is situated within the Burton Creek Drainage Basin (Figure 2 -Burton Cree k
Drainage Basin).
As can be seen from a review of Figure 3 -Aerial Photograph (2202) of Subject Site , existing
commercial developments border the subject property to the south (David Gardener 's Jewelers), west
(Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant), east (office park), and north (Comfort Suites Hotel (currently under
construction)).
The proposed office building will be situated on an undeveloped lot that is referred to as Lot 3R
of Block V of the University Park Addition -Phase II. The subject site is located immediately behind
Lot 3A of the referenced subdivision. Lot 3A is currently occupied by the David Gardener 's Jewelers
building that has a physical address of 911 University Drive East.

2.2 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The subje ~) extends over an area of approximately 0.53-acre and is undeveloped , being
covered by sho /gasses1and a few isolated trees as indicated in the aerial photograph in Figure 3.
The subject site has a pronounced slope in a northerly direction toward the adjacent Comfort
Suites Hotel site . The predominant direction of stormwater surface runoff flows follows the surface grade
toward the hotel site as illustrated in Figure 4 -Pre-Development Site Conditions and Storm Water
Runoff Flow Patterns. Surface grades vary across the site from approximately 2. 7 to 5 percent, but
average approximately 3 percent. Burton Creek is situated approximately 2,500 ft to the north of the
project site and north of Spring Loop and Autumn Circle (Figure 1) In addition, there is a small,
unnamed tributary drainage swale approximately 500 ft west of the subject site that flows in a northerly
direction to Burton Creek (Figures 1, 2 and 3).
The proposed site is not located within any existing flood plains as illustrated on Figure 5, FIRM
Flood Plain Map of Area of Subject Property.
2.3 PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
The proposed development will consist of a single-story office/retail building of approximately
8, 115 square feet in area and associated paved driveway and parking areas of approximately 4,978 square
feet in area as illustrated on Figure 6 -Proposed Site Development Scheme (Post-Development
Conditions), Site Grading Plan, and Surface Storm Water Runoff Flow Patterns . CSC anticipates that the
proposed office building structure will be situated in the southwestern portion of the previously described
property as illustrated in Figure 6 . We also anticipate that the proposed office building will have a single
sloped roof that slopes to the north.
We further anticipate that the proposed paved area will be located east of the proposed building
(Figure 6) and will provide access to a drive-in bay of the building, as well as provide parking spaces for
approximately eight vehicles. Additional parking will be provided by "off-site" paved areas on the
adjacent lot (Lot 3A) that is currently occupied by David Gardener's Jewelers . We anticipate that the
paved drive and parking areas associated with the new building will be constructed of a rigid pavement
system with a Portland cement concrete (PCC) surface.
Landscaping of the site will be established in the areas immediately around the office building
and in the islands and areas bordering the paved access drive and parking area.

Pr~~!:.~. Aud!? Vide:> ~~~~in~;--~~o ~~~_:_S ~tion, TX
The finished floor slab elevation of the building will be at approximately El. 319 .5. The finished
floor elevation will require some small volumes of fill to be added to the southern portion of the site in
order to achieve final grades in the building pad area. Greater thicknesses of fill will be required in the
northern area of the site. We anticipate that the fill heights will vary from 0 .5 ft in the southern portion of
the building pad to approximately 4 feet in the northern portion of the pad. Finally, we do not anticipate
that the building will have a basement or a storm shelter or other features that would require structural
excavations at the site.
3.0 LOCATION OF THE SITE WITHIN THE MAJOR DRAINAGE BASIN
AND EXISTING DRAINAGE PATTERNS IN THE AREA OF THE SUBJECT
SITE
As previously discussed , the subject 0 .53-acre site is located in the middle reaches or middle
portion of the Burton Creek drainage basin (Figures I and 2). The subject site is located approximately
2,500 feet south of the Burton Creek channel. The subject site is situated at a point within the drainage
basin that is approximately 3 ,400 feet downstream of the junction of Tributary C of Burton Creek and the
main channel of Burton Creek, and approximately 3,600 feet upstream from the point where Burton
Creek flows into Carters Creek (see Figure 1).
There are no distinct drainage channels across the existing site . The major portion of current
storm water runoff from the site appears to be by sheet-flow in a northerly direction toward the adjacent
hotel site. The stormwater runoff previously flowed across the hotel site to various pavement sections
along Spring Loop or private roadways adjacent to Spring Loop where the collected storm water runoff
was routed via street gutters to existing storm sewer curb inlets . The storm water collected in the curb
inlets was then discharged through a system of storm sewer pipes into Burton Creek, which , as previously
mentioned, is situated north of the subject property.
4.0 SCOPE OF REPORT AND DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
This report described the planned storm water drainage system for the proposed development and
addresses the volume of storm water detention required following the planned development of the
building and associated paved areas. Both the site and the proposed development scheme were evaluated

in accordance with the criteria outlined in the "Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DPDS)" manual of
the City of College Station, Texas. The DPDS manual is undated but contains a chapter on "Flood Hazard
Protection" that has a revision date of October 1, 1990 . This report also discusses general erosion control
measures.
5.0 STORM WATER RUNOFF COMPUTATIONS
5.1 USE OF THE RATIONAL FORMULA
The Rational Formula was used to compute the volume of storm water runoff prior to and
following the planned development. Calculations based upon the Rational Formula were employed to
::>
assess the quantity of storm water that must be detained to "~ffset" the increased runoff associated with
'the new development. The generalized grading of the site and the general direction of pre-development
flow are illustrated on the accompanying Figure 4 . The proposed grading plan for the development and
the patterns of post-development storm water runoff flows are illustrated on the accompanying Figure 6 .
Use of the Rational Formula is reasonable for this project since the contributory area of runoff is
less than 50 acres, an area sometimes referenced in the literature as an upper limit for use of the Rational
Formula. In addition , the subject site is located within a Secondary Drainage System and not within a
Primary Drainage System . The Rational Formula is not recommended for use within a Primary Drainage
System . Therefore, the Rational Formula was used to determine the peak discharge for both pre-and post-
development conditions .
The general equation for the Rational Formula is well known:
Q=CIA
where
Q = discharge of storm water in units of cubic feet per second ( cfs)
C = coefficient that represents the average runoff characteristics of the land cover within the
drainage area of interest, i.e ., the runoff coefficient, which is dimensionless
I= rainfall intensity in units of inches per hour (in/hr), and
A = area of the site that contributes to the storm water runoff in units of acres

The values of each of the factors contained in the equation that were employed to compute the
storm water runoff at the subject site are discussed in the following sections .
5.2 RUNOFF COEFFICIENTS (C)
The runoff coefficients or "C" values were computed for both pre-and post-development
conditions. Coefficients for the different types of surface covers were determined from Table III -1 of the
DP DS manual.
The coefficient for the pre-development condition was determined based upon the land cover
category listed in Table III-1 as a combination of "Natural Woodlands " and "Natural Grasslands " for
slopes in the range of 1 % to 3 .5%. A range of C-values of 0.18 to 0 .25 is listed in the referenced table for
the "Natural Woodlands " and a range of C-values of 0.35 to 0.45 was given for ''Natural Grasslands" for
the cited topographic conditions. Accordingly, an average value of 0.4 was selected for use for pre-
development cover of the entire 0.53-acre site.
An average C-value for post-development conditions was also calculated . The post-development
C-values were determined from the referenced table in the DPDS for the specific types of site cover
associated with post-developed site conditions . An illustration of the various types of site cover
anticipated for post-development conditions is presented in Figure 7 -Types of Ground Cover Ass ociated
With Post-Development Scheme . The specific types of post-development cover materials illustrated in
Figure 7, the corresponding C-values from Table III-I of the DPDS manual, and the approx imate areas of
the various types of cover materials listed in Figure 7 were used in the analysis outlined in Table 1 of this
report to compute an average C-value for the post-developed site. In general, a unit C-value of 0.9 was
used for building roof and concrete covered pavements and sidewalks and a unit C-value of 0 .5 was used
for the landscaped or grassed areas as indicated in Table 1.
Therefore , the average C-value for the post-developed site can be determined by dividing the
summation of the product of the individual areas times the respective unit C-values listed in Table I and
dividing that summation by the overall site area which is also listed in Table 1. The result of that
calculation is as follows:
Average C-value = summation of unit C-values times individual areas divided by the total site
area
Average C-value = 17 ,184 C-square feet I 23,894 square feet = 0.71

5.3 TIME OF CONCENTRATION (Tc)
The time of concentration at a site is used to determine the intensity of the rainfall event used for
computing storm water flows and required detention volumes. The time of concentration is defined as
"the time required for the runoff to be established and flow from the most remote part of the drainage area
to the point under design." For pre-development conditions the time of concentration for the subject site
was calculated based upon the elevation difference and the flow distance from the higher elevations in the
southern portion of the property to the lower elevations is the northern portions of the site adjacent to the
hotel site to the north The referenced change in elevation is 4 ft and the referenced distance is
approximately 220 ft. This grade produces a slope of approximately 2% for pre-development conditions .
The slope for post-development conditions was determined from the proposed site grading plan and
drainage patterns as illustrated in Figure 6. The surface slopes or grades and the velocities presented in
Table III-2 of the DPDS manual were used to determine the appropriate storm water runoff velocity .
For overland or sheet-flow over slopes in the range of 0 to 3 percent, such as are present at the
subject site , velocities of runoff flow are listed to be in the range of 0 to 1.5 feet per second (fps) for
natural woodlands and in the range of 0 to 2.5 fps for natural grasslands . An average velocity of 2 fp s was
conservatively selected for pre-development conditions. Thus, time of travel between the location of the
higher elevations of the site and the lower elevations of the site was calculated to be approximately 110
seconds (220 ft distance/2 fps velocity) or approximately 1.8 minutes for pre-development conditions .
The post-development time of concentration was calculated over the paved areas of the site without
consideration of any detention and was determined to be a shorter time period. Therefore, a minimum
time of concentration of 10 minutes (as specified in the DPDS manual) was used in the calculations for
both pre-and po st-development conditions.

5.4 RAINFALL INTENSITY (I)
The rainfall intensity values were computed for the minimum 10 -minute time of concentration
previously discussed using the intensity-duration-frequency curves developed by the Texas Department of
Transportation. The computed intensities calculated for storm events with "return periods" of 5, 10 , 25,
50 , and 100 years are indicated in Table 2.

5.6 STORM WATER RUNOFF QUANTITIES
Storm water runoff quantities were calculated using the Rational Formula. Runoff quantities were
calculated for both pre-and post-development conditions for the 0.53 -acre site for storm events with
recurrence intervals of 5, 10 , 25 , 50 and 100 years . The rainfall intensities used in the computations were
as discussed in Section 5.4 . The results of the computations are presented in Table 3.

6.0 STORM WATER DETENTION
6.1 REQumED MINIMUM DETENTION STORAGE VOLUME
CSC has noted that the proposed site is relatively small and occupies an area of only 0 .53-acres .
In addition, a significant portion of the site will remain as landscaped areas following development. As
can be seen from a review of Table 2, approximately 47 percent of the site will still be landscaped.
Therefore, the difference in pre-and post-development flows for any storm recurrence interval will be
relatively small.
The storage volume of the detention area was calculated such that the peak discharge of the
ultimate development hydrographs for the 100-year design storm was limited to a discharge less than a
defined target discharge. The defined target discharge was characterized by the DPDS manual to be the
peak discharge of the pre-development hydrograph for the 100-year storm event. Since the entire 0.53-
acre site is being developed at the present time, the current developed condition and the ultimate
developed condition were assumed to be the same.
The required detention storage volume was determined as the difference in area between the pre-
and post-development hydrographs, as depicted on Figure 8 The Triangular Approximation method was
used to determine the hydrographs. The hydrographs were constructed by assuming that the peak
discharge, as calculated from the Rational Formula, occurs at a time equal to the time of concentration
and that one-third of the flow volume occurs before the peak discharge is reached and two-thirds occur
following the peak discharge. The Triangular Approximation method of developing hydrographs is
generally considered to be acceptable for analysis of Secondary Drainage Systems with an area of less
than 50 acres, which is applicable to the drainage basin addressed in this report.
The difference in area between the two hydrographs , or the required minimum volume of the
detention storage area, was calculated to be approximately 1,818 cubic feet for the 100-year recurrence
interval storm event.

6.2 DETENTION BASIN STORAGE AREA
We propose to provide the required detention storage within the planned paved area on the
eastern side of the proposed building, which is indicated by the blue shading on Figure 6. The required
volume for storm water detention will be created by depressing the pavement surface and the
corresponding top of the storm water catch basin inlet within the paved area to an elevation that is below
the surrounding perimeter curb elevations and also below the high break points in the pavement grading .
The proposed detention area will have a square to rectangular shape as depicted on Figure 6 and
will have approximate plan dimensions of 64 feet by 80 feet with some interior parking islands excluded.
The area of the stormwater detention basin was determined to be approximate 4,376 square feet (sq ft).
The stormwater inlet box at the approximate center of the detention basis will serve as the outlet
for the captured storm water is discussed in greater detail in the following section of this report. The
elevation of the top of the storm water inlet box was established at approximately 10 inches or 0.83 feet
below the elevation of the high break point in the pavement grade to the south of the inlet box and well
below the top elevation of the curbs surrounding the detention area. Therefore, approximately 10 inches
or 0.83 feet of water could pond at the inlet location . The depth of ponded water is expected to vary from
I 0 inches at the inlet location to 0 inches at the curb and high break point locations, with an average depth
of approximately 5 inches or 0.42 feet over the entire area. The maximum depth of ponding of 10 inches
r---
or 0.83 feet is permitted for parking areas used as detention basins according to the DPDS (page 74). No
higher elevations of ponding are possible since an overflow of the high break point in the paving would
occur for ponded depths above l 0 inches , and the stormwater would flow to the adjacent paved area of
the existing storm water catch basins in the David Gardener's Jewelers parking lot.
The approximate volume provided by the proposed detention basin was computed by multiplying
the area of the detention basin ( 4,376 sq ft) by an average ponded water depth of 5 inches (0.42 ft). The
computed detained volume was approximately 1,838 cubic feet (cu ft). As previously stated , the required
minimum storage volume of the detention basin would be approximately 1,818 cu ft in order to detain the
difference between the I 00-year event storm water runoff for pre-and post-development conditions. The
minimum required volume of 1,818 cu ft is within the available storage capacity of the proposed
detention basin .
6.3 DETENTION BASIN OUTLET STRUCTURE
As previously indicated, the outlet structure for the detention basin will consist of the grated inlet
that will be constructed in the proposed paved area east of the proposed building. The grate across the top
10
CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
of the box will be chosen so that it will pass a flow that is approximately equal to the maximum pre-
development flow of 2 .61 cfs for the 100-year storm recurrence interval. The flow through the grate will
be calculated based upon a maximum depth of ponded water of 10 inches (0.42 feet).
The flow capacity of any inlet grate in a sump or ponded condition is a function of both the depth
of water over the grate and the total clear opening area of the grade . The flow can generally be
determined by the following equation :
Q =CA (.../(2 gd))
where
Q = flow rate through the grate inlet in cfs
C =orifice coefficient,::::: 0.67 for grate inlets, dimensionless
A = clear opening of grate , square inches
g =acceleration constant of gravity,
::::: 32.2 feet per square second (ft/sec2) or 2.683 inches per square second (in/sec2)
d = depth of water over grate , feet
The equation can be simplified to ...
Q = 0.0108 A (.../d)
where
Q = flow rate through the grate inlet in cfs
A = clear opening of grate, square inches
::::: 32 .2 feet per square second (ft/sec2) or 2.683 inches per square second (in/sec2)
d = depth of water over grate, feet
The referenced equation is generally valid for inlet grates in a sump condition wh ere water depths
are 4 inches are greater. At water depths less than 4 inches the inlet grate acts as a weir to incoming flow
and requires different analysis to determine flow capacity .
Substituting the desired flow of 2.61 cfs and the l 0 inch depth of water over the grate inches, the
approximate open area of the grate that is required can be determined as follows :
Q = 0 .0108 A (.../d)
11
CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
2 .61cfs =0.0108 A (.../10 inches)
or ...
A= (2 .61 cfs) I [0.0108 x .../10 inches]= 2 .61 cfs/0 .03
solving ...
A = 76.4 square inches
The catch basin designated by East Jordan Iron Works, Inc . as model or catalog number V-5714
has an opening of 75 square inches, which is approximately equal to the required opening area of 76.4
square inches . The referenced grate inlet or its equivalent has been specified on the construction
drawings for the referenced grated box inlet.
7.0 EROSION CONTROL MEASURES
7.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The erosion control measures proposed at the site will basically consist of silt fences that are
placed on the three (3) down-gradient boundaries of the site . We do not anticipate the need for hay bale
barriers , rock dam s or sedimentation traps since there will not be any channelized or concentrated flows
produced by the construction operations . The locations and detailing of the proposed erosion control
measures are depicted on Sheet C-7 of the submitted construction plans .

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
This report documents the information used in the formulation of the stormwater drainage system
for the proposed Audio Video Building development being constructed by Britt Rice Electric, L.P. (BRE)
in College Station, Texas.
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Information concerning the project was provided by Mr. Kenny Walsh , Project Manager with
BRE, the general contractor for the project, and by Mr. Brett Cumpton, AIA, with the project architects,
Cumpton & Associates.
2.1 SITE LOCATION
The property which is the subject of the proposed development and this drainage report is situated
on the northern side of University Drive East, approximately 1,500 to 1,600 ft west of the intersection
with Spring Loop (see Figure 1 -Vicinity Map in Appendix A; all figures referenced in the report are in
Appendix A). The site is situated within the Burton Creek Drainage Basin (Figure 2 -Burton Creek
Drainage Basin).
As can be seen from a review of Figure 3 -Aerial Photograph (2202) of Subject Site , existing
commercial developments border the subject property to the south (David Gardener's Jewelers), west
(Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant), east (office park), and north (Comfort Suites Hotel (currently under
construction)).
The proposed office building will be situated on an undeveloped lot that is referred to as Lot 3R
of Block V of the University Park Addition -Phase II. The subject site is located immediately behind
Lot 3A of the referenced subdivision. Lot 3A is currently occupied by the David Gardener's Jewelers
building that has a physical address of 911 University Drive East.

2.2 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The subject site extends over an area of approximately 0.53-acre and is undeveloped, being
covered by short gasses and a few isolated trees as indicated in the aerial photograph in Figure 3.
The subject site has a pronounced slope in a northerly direction toward the adjacent Comfort
Suites Hotel site. The predominant direction of stormwater surface runoff flows follows the surface grade
toward the hotel site as illustrated in Figure 4 -Pre-Development Site Conditions and Storm Water
Runoff Flow Patterns. Surface grades vary across the site from approximately 2.7 to 5 percent, but
average approximately 3 percent. Burton Creek is situated approximately 2,500 ft to the north of the
project site and north of Spring Loop and Autumn Circle (Figure 1) In addition, there is a small,
unnamed tributary drainage swale approximately 500 ft west of the subject site that flows in a northerly
direction to Burton Creek (Figures 1, 2 and 3).
The proposed site is not located within any existing flood plains as illustrated on Figure 5, FIRM
Flood Plain Map of Area of Subject Property.
2.3 PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
The proposed development will consist of a single-story office/retail building of approximately
8, 115 square feet in area and associated paved dri veway and parking areas of approximately 4,978 square
feet in area as illustrated on Figure 6 -Proposed Site Development Scheme (Post-Development
Conditions), Site Grading Plan, and Surface Storm Water Runoff Flow Patterns. CSC anticipates that the
proposed office building structure will be situated in the southwestern portion of the previously described
property as illustrated in Figure 6. We also anticipate that the proposed office building will have a single
sloped roof that slopes to the north.
We further anticipate that the proposed paved area will be located east of the proposed building
(Figure 6) and will provide access to a drive-in bay of the building, as well as provide parking spaces for
approximately eight vehicles. Additional parking will be provided by "off-site" paved areas on the
adjacent lot (Lot 3A) that is currently occupied by David Gardener's Jewelers. We anticipate that the
paved drive and parking areas associated with the new building will be constructed of a rigid pavement
system with a Portland cement concrete (PCC) surface.
Landscaping of the site will be established in the areas immediately around the office building
and in the islands and areas bordering the paved access drive and parking area.

CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
Report of Drainage Study Proposed Audio Video Building; College Station, TX
The finished floor slab elevation of the building will be at approximately El. 319 .5. The finished
floor elevation will require some small volumes of fill to be added to the southern portion of the site in
order to achieve fmal grades in the building pad area. Greater thicknesses of fill will be required in the
northern area of the site. We anticipate that the fill heights will vary from 0.5 ft in the southern portion of
the building pad to approximately 4 feet in the northern portion of the pad . Finally, we do not anticipate
that the building will have a basement or a storm shelter or other features that would require structural
excavations at the site.
3.0 LOCATION OF THE SITE WITHIN THE MAJOR DRAINAGE BASIN
AND EXISTING DRAINAGE PATTERNS IN THE AREA OF THE SUBJECT
SITE
As previously discussed , the subject 0.53-acre site is located in the middle reaches or middle
portion of the Burton Creek drainage basin (Figures 1 and 2). The subject site is located approximately
2,500 feet south of the Burton Creek channel. The subject site is situated at a point within the drainage
basin that is approximately 3,400 feet downstream of the junction of Tributary C of Burton Creek and the
main channel of Burton Creek, and approximately 3,600 feet upstream from the point where Burton
Creek flows into Carters Creek (see Figure 1).
There are no distinct drainage channels across the existing site. The major portion of current
storm water runoff from the site appears to be by sheet-flow in a northerly direction toward the adjacent
hotel site. The stormwater runoff previously flowed across the hotel site to various pavement sections
along Spring Loop or private roadways adjacent to Spring Loop where the collected storm water runoff
was routed via street gutters to existing storm sewer curb inlets. The storm water collected in the curb
inlets was then discharged through a system of storm sewer pipes into Burton Creek, which , as previously
mentioned, is situated north of the subject property.
4.0 SCOPE OF REPORT AND DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
This report described the planned storm water drainage system for the proposed development and
addresses the volume of storm water detention required following the planned development of the
building and associated paved areas . Both the site and the proposed development scheme were evaluated
3
CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
Report of Drainage Study Proposed Audio Video Building; College Station, TX
in accordance with the criteria outlined in the "Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DPDS)" manual of
the City of College Station, Texas. The DPDS manual is undated but contains a chapter on "Flood Hazard
Protection" that has a revision date of October 1, 1990. This report also discusses general erosion control
measures.
5.0 STORM WATER RUNOFF COMPUTATIONS
5.1 USE OF THE RATIONAL FORMULA
The Rational Formula was used to compute the volume of storm water runoff prior to and
following the planned development. Calculations based upon the Rational Formula were employed to
assess the quantity of storm water that must be detained to "offset" the increased runoff associated with
the new development. The generalized grading of the site and the general direction of pre-development
flow are illustrated on the accompanying Figure 4. The proposed grading plan for the development and
the patterns of post-development storm water runoff flows are illustrated on the accompanying Figure 6 .
Use of the Rational Formula is reasonable for this project since the contributory area of runoff is
less than 50 acres, an area sometimes referenced in the literature as an upper limit for use of the Rational
Formula. In addition, the subject site is located within a Secondary Drainage System and not within a
Primary Drainage System. The Rational Formula is not recommended for use within a Primary Drainage
System . Therefore, the Rational Formula was used to determ ine the peak discharge for both pre-and post-
development conditions .
The general equation for the Rational Formula is well known:
Q=CIA
where
Q = discharge of storm water in units of cubic feet per second ( cfs)
C = coefficient that represents the average runoff characteristics of the land cover within the
drainage area of interest, i.e., the runoff coefficient, which is dimensionless
I= rainfall intensity in units of inches per hour (in/hr), and
A = area of the site that contributes to the storm water runoff in units of acres
4
·.
CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC.
Report of Drainage Study Proposed Audio Video Building; College Station, TX
The values of each of the factors contained in the equation that were employed to compute the
storm water runoff at the subject site are discussed in the following section s .
5.2 RUNOFF COEFFICIENTS (C)
The runoff coefficients or "C" values were computed for both pre-and post-development
conditions . Coefficients for the different types of surface covers were determined from Table ill-I of the
DP DS manual.
The coefficient for the pre-development condition was determined based upon the land cover
category listed in Table ill-I as a combination of ''Natural Woodlands" and ''Natural Grasslands " for
slopes in the range of 1% to 3.5%. A range of C-values of 0.18 to 0.25 is listed in the referenced table for
the ''Natural Woodlands" and a range of C-values of 0.35 to 0.45 was given for ''Natural Grasslands" for
the cited topographic conditions. Accordingly, an average value of 0.4 was selected for use for pre-
development cover of the entire 0.53-acre site .
An average C-value for post-development conditions was also calculated . The post-development
C-values were determined from the referenced table in the DPDS for the specific types of site cover
associated with post-developed site conditions. An illustration of the various types of site cover
anticipated for post-development conditions is presented in Figure 7 -Typ es of Ground Cover A ssociated
With Pos t-Development Scheme . The specific types of post-development cover materials illustrated in
Figure 7, the corresponding C-values from Table III-I of the DPDS manual , and the approximate areas of
the various types of cover materials listed in Figure 7 were used in the analysis outlined in Table I of this
report to compute an average C-value for the post-developed site. In general , a unit C-value of 0.9 was
used for building roof and concrete covered pavements and sidewalks and a unit C-value of 0 .5 was used
for the landscaped or grassed areas as indicated in Table I .
Therefore , the average C-value for the post-developed site can be determined by dividing the
summation of the product of the individual areas times the respective unit C-values li sted in Table 1 and
dividing that summation by the overall site area which is also listed in Table 1. The result of that
calculation is as follows:
Average C-value = summation of unit C-values times individual areas divided by the total site
area
Average C-value = 17 ,184 C-square feet I 23 ,894 square feet = 0 .71

5.3 TIME OF CONCENTRATION (Tc)
The time of concentration at a site is used to determine the intensity of the rainfall event used for
computing storm water flows and required detention volumes. The time of concentration is defined as
"the time required for the runoff to be established and flow from the most remote part of the drainage area
to the point under design." For pre-development conditions the time of concentration for the subject site
was calculated based upon the elevation difference and the flow distance from the higher elevations in the
southern portion of the property to the lower elevations is the northern portions of the site adjacent to the
hotel site to the north The referenced change in elevation is 4 ft and the referenced distance is
approximately 220 ft. This grade produces a slope of approximately 2% for pre -development conditions .
The slope for post-development conditions was determined from the proposed site grading plan and
drainage patterns as illustrated in Figure 6. The surface slopes or grades and the velocities presented in
Table ill-2 of the DPDS manual were used to determine the appropriate storm water runoff velocity.
For overland or sheet-flow over slopes in the range of 0 to 3 percent, such as are present at the
subject site, velocities of runoff flow are listed to be in the range of 0 to 1.5 feet per second (fps) for
natural woodlands and in the range of 0 to 2.5 fps for natural grasslands. An average velocity of2 fps was
conservatively selected for pre-development conditions. Thus, time of travel between the location of the
higher elevations of the site and the lower elevations of the site was calculated to be approximately 110
seconds (220 ft distance/2 fps velocity) or approximately 1.8 minutes for pre-development conditions.
The post-development time of concentration was calculated over the paved areas of the site without
consideration of any detention and was determined to be a shorter time period. Therefore, a minimum
time of concentration of 10 minutes (as specified in the DPDS manual) was used in the calculations for
both pre-and post-development conditions.

5.4 RAINFALL INTENSITY (I)
The rainfall intensity values were computed for the minimum 10-minute time of concentration
previously discussed using the intensity-duration-frequency curves developed by the Texas Department of
Transportation. The computed intensities calculated for storm events with "return periods" of 5, 10, 25 ,
50, and 100 years are indicated in Table 2.

5.6 STORM WATER RUNOFF QUANTITIES
Storm water runoff quantities were calculated using the Rational Formula. Runoff quantities were
calculated for both pre-and post-development conditions for the 0.53 -acre site for storm events with
recurrence intervals of 5, 10, 25, 50 and l 00 years. The rainfall intensities used in the computations were
as discussed in Section 5.4. The results of the computations are presented in Table 3.

6.0 STORM WATER DETENTION
6.1 REQUIRED MINIMUM DETENTION STORAGE VOLUME
CSC has noted that the proposed site is relatively small and occupies an area of only 0.53-acres.
In addition, a significant portion of the site will remain as landscaped areas following development. As
can be seen from a review of Table 2, approximately 47 percent of the site will still be landscaped.
Therefore, the difference in pre-and post-development flows for any storm recurrence interval will be
relatively small.
The storage volume of the detention area was calculated such that the peak discharge of the
ultimate development hydrographs for the 100-year design storm was limited to a discharge less than a
defined target discharge. The defined target discharge was characterized by the DPDS manual to be the
peak discharge of the pre-development hydrograph for the 100-year storm event. Since the entire 0.53-
acre site is being developed at the present time, the current developed condition and the ultimate
developed condition were assumed to be the same.
The required detention storage volume was determined as the difference in area between the pre-
and post-development hydrographs , as depicted on Figure 8 The Triangular Approximation method was
used to determine the hydrographs. The hydrographs were constructed by assuming that the peak
discharge, as calculated from the Rational Formula, occurs at a time equal to the time of concentration
and that one-third of the flow volume occurs before the peak discharge is reached and two-thirds occur
following the peak discharge . The Triangular Approximation method of developing hydrographs is
generally considered to be acceptable for analysis of Secondary Drainage Systems with an area of less
than 50 acres, which is applicable to the drainage basin addressed in this report.
The difference in area between the two hydrographs, or the required minimum volume of the
detention storage area, was calculated to be approximately 1,818 cubic feet for the 100-year recurrence
interval storm event.

6.2 DETENTION BASIN STORAGE AREA
We propose to provide the required detention storage within the planned paved area on the
eastern side of the proposed building, which is indicated by the blue shading on Figure 6. The required
volume for storm water detention will be created by depressing the pavement surface and the
corresponding top of the storm water catch basin inlet within the paved area to an elevation that is below
the surrounding perimeter curb elevations and also below the high break points in the pavement grading.
The proposed detention area will have a square to rectangular shape as depicted on Figure 6 and
will have approximate plan dimensions of 64 feet by 80 feet with some interior parking islands excluded .
The area of the stormwater detention basin was determined to be approximate 4,376 square feet (sq ft).
The stormwater inlet box at the approximate center of the detention basis will serve as the outlet
for the captured storm water is discussed in greater detail in the following section of this report. The
elevation of the top of the storm water inlet box was established at approximately 10 inches or 0 .83 feet
below the elevation of the high break point in the pavement grade to the south of the inlet box and well
below the top elevation of the curbs surrounding the detention area. Therefore, approximately l 0 inches
or 0.83 feet of water could pond at the inlet location . The depth of ponded water is expected to vary from
10 inches at the inlet location to 0 inches at the curb and high break point locations, with an average depth
of approximately 5 inches or 0.42 feet over the entire area. The maximum depth of ponding of l 0 inches
or 0.83 feet is permitted for parking areas used as detention basins according to the DPDS (page 74). No
higher elevations of ponding are possible since an overflow of the high break point in the paving would
occur for ponded depths above 10 inches, and the stormwater would flow to the adjacent paved area of
the existing storm water catch basins in the David Gardener's Jewelers parking lot.
The approximate volume provided by the proposed detention basin was computed by multiplying
the area of the detention basin (4 ,376 sq ft) by an average ponded water depth of 5 inches (0.42 ft). The
computed detained volume was approximately 1,838 cubic feet (cu ft). As previously stated , the required
minimum storage volume of the detention basin would be approximately 1,818 cu ft in order to detain the
difference between the I 00-year event storm water runoff for pre-and post-development conditions. The
minimum required volume of 1,818 cu ft is within the available storage capacity of the proposed
detention basin .
6.3 DETENTION BASIN OUTLET STRUCTURE
As previously indicated , the outlet structure for the detention basin will consist of the grated inlet
that will be constructed in the proposed paved area east of the proposed building. The grate across the top
10
CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENT AL CONSULT ANTS, INC.
Report of Drainage Study Proposed Audio Video Building; College Station, TX
of the box will be chosen so that it will pass a flow that is approximately equal to the maximum pre-
development flow of 2.61 cfs for the 100-year storm recurrence interval. The flow through the grate will
be calculated based upon a maximum depth of ponded water of l 0 inches (0.42 feet).
The flow capacity of any inlet grate in a sump or ponded condition is a function of both the depth
of water over the grate and the total clear opening area of the grade. The flow can generally be
determined by the following equation:
Q =CA ('1(2 gd))
where
Q = flow rate through the grate inlet in cfs
C =orifice coefficient,~ 0.67 for grate inlets, dimen sion less
A = clear opening of grate, square inches
g =acceleration constant of gravity,
~ 32.2 feet per square second (ft/sec2) or 2.683 inches per square second (in/sec2)
d = depth of water over grate, feet
The equation can be simplified to ...
Q = 0 .0108 A ('-id)
where
Q = flow rate through the grate inlet in cfs
A = clear opening of grate, square inches
~ 32.2 feet per square second (ft/sec2) or 2.683 inches per square second (in/sec2)
d = depth of water over grate, feet
The referenced equation is generally valid for inlet grates in a sum p condition where water depths
are 4 inches are greater. At water depths less than 4 inches the inlet grate acts as a weir to incoming flow
and requires different analysis to determine flow capacity.
Substituting the desired flow of2.61 cfs and the 10 inch depth of water over the grate inches, the
approximate open area of the grate that is required can be determined as follows:
Q = 0.0108 A ('-id)
11
CSC ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, INC.

2.61cfs =0 .0108 A ('./10 inches)
or ...
A= (2.61 cfs) I [0.0108 x '110 inches]= 2.61 cfs/0.03
solving ...
A = 76.4 square inches
The catch basin designated by East Jordan Iron Works , Inc. as model or catalog number V-5714
has an opening of 75 square inches , which is approximately equal to the required opening area of 76.4
square inches. The referenced grate inlet or its equivalent has been specified on the construction
drawings for the referenced grated box inlet.
7.0 EROSION CONTROL MEASURES
7 .1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The erosion control measures proposed at the site will basically consist of silt fences that are
placed on the three (3) down -gradient boundaries of the site . We do not anticipate the need for hay bale
barriers, rock dams or sedimentation traps since there will not be any channelized or concentrated flows
produced by the construction operations. The locations and detailing of the proposed erosion control
measures are depicted on Sheet C-7 of the submitted construction plans.
