To what receiving system will the swimming pool be drained? 2. A 100-year water surface elevation is need for this development, if it has not already been established. Please present the results of the modeled 100-year storm event for this site. The results of this model will be reviewed and used to ensure that no base floor elevation or sewer access will be inundated during the 100-year storm event. Notes on drainage: As previously explained, the Melrose Apartment Complex has only one (1) constructed detention pond. The constructed pond receives approximately 3/4 of the drainage from the complex. The remaining Melrose area (unconstructed) still remains a part of the drainage area hydraulically connected to your drainage channel. This area was not accounted for in the drainage report. Also, many of the arrows depicting flow on the included drainage map were incorrect. Flow occurs perpendicular to grade lines, not parallel. In addition, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house project is providing detention on their site at the headwaters of your drainage channel. You should include this information in your calculations to ensure the accuracy of the model. 3. Waterline lateral profiles do not appear in your construction documents.
