DISCUSSION
The project site encompasses approximately 96.50 acres. There is an additional
approximate 14.0 acres of offsite area that is tributary to the project site. The existing
condition is generally developed with buildings, stockpiles, and paved surfaces.
Landscape in the existing condition is limited to the area surrounding the building in the
northeast corner.
Proposed improvements to the site consist of the construction of one large industrial
warehouse, Building 4, totaling 1,050,861 square feet with truck yards on both easterly
and westerly sides, and auto parking generally around the northerly and southerly
perimeter of the building. A Street, B Street, and Yellowwood Avenue will be
constructed to serve the warehouse and the project sites of four additional future
buildings. The future project sites will be rough graded, but no site work will be
constructed.
Off-Site Drainage
There is an existing warehouse type building and storage yard in the adjacent property
north of the proposed building 5 that drains to the project site. The existing site (14.0 ac.)
will be redeveloped for industrial use. Per hydrology report by SDH & Associates, Inc.
revision date May 5, 2023, the approximate 100-year peak flow rate is 44.7 cfs and will
discharge at the southeast corner.
See Appendix “A” for Hydrology Report by SDH & Associates, Inc.
Existing Condition
The project site is generally divided into two distinct drainage zones. The eastern
portion of the site drains southeasterly, while the western portion of the site drains
southwesterly. Both discharge points are along the southern property line.
North of the eastern portion of the project site, offsite area drains to a channel along the
northern property line (Nodes 100-102, 11.8 acres). The channel doesn’t discharge to a
single location, but rather overtops and spills to the project site. The 100-year peak flow
rate for this offsite area is approximately 29.9 cfs.
The eastern drive aisle from Arrow Route drains southerly through a series of open
channels and underground conduits to the southeast portion of the site (Nodes 200-226,
37.6 acres). There is an existing detention basin near the southeast property corner.
Runoff is discharged from this basin via a 24” storm drain which daylights out a head
wall and continues southeasterly following the existing drainage pattern offsite. The
runoff is then conveyed under the railroad via (3) 48” CMP pipes and into an existing
channel that continues southerly. The 100-year peak flow rate for the eastern portion of
the site is approximately 98.2 cfs.
The west portion of the site drains southerly towards the southwest corner of the project
site (Nodes 300-314, 61.1 acres). Here the runoff from the existing building along Arrow
route and the associated parking/storage areas drain southwesterly towards an existing
catch basin. An existing storm drain conveys this runoff westerly and southerly towards
an existing headwall into a small basin. The runoff from the areas south of the existing
building drains southwesterly towards the southwest corner of the site. The runoff is then
conveyed under the railroad via (3) 48” CMP pipes and into an existing channel that
continues southerly. The 100-year peak flow rate for the western portion of the site is
approximately 147.9 cfs.
See Appendix “B” for existing condition hydrology calculations and Appendix "F" for
existing condition hydrology map.
Proposed Condition
In the proposed condition runoff will generally match the existing condition drainage
pattern. Runoff from three parcels along Arrow Route and the proposed Building 4 will
be collected into a storm drain system (Public Line H) and conveyed to a proposed
headwall at the southwest portion of the project site (Nodes 100-316, 64.8 acres). The
parcels along Arrow Route will not be developed at this time but have been modeled as
commercial land use to estimate the future developed condition runoff. Runoff from
Building 4 is detained at a higher proportion than is required so the future developments
on the three parcels along Arrow Route will not need to detain peak flows.
Runoff from the easterly half of Building 4 will drain to a series of catch basins in the
easterly truck yard (nodes 200-206). A private onsite storm drain (Line G) will convey
stormwater southerly then westerly through the southerly drive aisle. Line G will
confluence with Line F and the stormwater will ultimately drain through the proposed
headwall at node 316. The undetained 100-year peak flow rate from the easterly portion
of the site will be approximately 73.6 cfs.
Runoff from the westerly half of Building 4 will drain to a series of catch basins in the
westerly truck yard (nodes 300-312). A private onsite storm drain (Line F) will convey

stormwater southerly towards the proposed headwall. The undetained 100-year peak flow
rate from the westerly portion of the site will be approximately 75.5 cfs.
A portion of Yellowwood Avenue, A Street, and B Street will drain to catch basins
within the public right of way and to Public Line H. Storm drain stubs will be provided
for the future development of the three parcels along Arrow Route. Line H will convey
runoff from the streets and the three parcels westerly through B Street then southerly in A
Street to the proposed headwall at the southwest portion of the site (nodes 100-316). The
headwall will contain two outlet pipes, one will be Public Line H and the other is onsite
Line F. The 100-year undetained peak flow rate through the outlet structure, including
both storm drains, will be approximately 200.2 cfs.
The south easterly parcel will not be developed at this time, however the public storm
drain in Yellowwood Avenue and A Street surrounding the parcel will be constructed. A
stub will be built for the future development of the project site. Public Storm Drain Line
B will convey stormwater from A Street, south of the future development, easterly
towards the stub and confluence with Public Line C. Runoff from a portion of
Yellowwood Avenue and A Street north of the project site will drain to public catch
basins and into Public Line C. The storm drain will convey the runoff easterly then
southerly in A Street to the south easterly corner of the project and the confluence with
Line B.
The future development is expected to detain stormwater to mimic the existing condition,
so the site was modeled using the existing condition land use. A flow path was assumed
that represents the longest route stormwater would take in the future condition.
The 100-year peak flow rate from the streets and the south easterly parcel to Public Storm
Drain Line B will be approximately 88.8 cfs.
As mentioned in the “Off-Site Drainage” section of this report, there is an existing
warehouse type building and storage yard in the adjacent property north of the proposed
building 5 that drains to the project site. The existing site (14.0 ac.) will be redeveloped
for industrial use. Per hydrology report by SDH & Associates, Inc. revision date May 5,
2023, the approximate 100-year peak flow rate is 44.7 cfs and will discharge at the
southeast corner.
The total 100-year peak flow rate to Public Storm Drain Line B, including off-site runon,
will be approximately 133.5 cfs (88.8 cfs + 44.7 cfs)
See Appendix “A” for the SDH & Associates study, Appendix "B" for proposed
condition hydrology calculations and Appendix "F" for proposed condition hydrology
map.
Detention Analysis
Onsite storm flow detention will be utilized to reduce the proposed condition flow rate
below the existing condition rate. The easterly and westerly truck yard areas of Building
4 will provide the storage volume, storm drain size restrictions reduce the discharge.
A small area unit hydrograph was established for the tributary area to the truck yards. A
rating curve was developed hydraulic calculations with varying flow rates to determine
the elevation of the HGL in the truck yard and therefore the ponding water surface
elevation.
The discharge from the truck yard on the east side of Building 4 (Nodes 200-206, 18.31
acres) is reduced from 71.4 cfs to 22.6 cfs with a remaining volume of 0.679 ac-ft
temporarily stored in the truck yard at a depth of about 0.64’. This represents a 48.8 cfs
or 68% reduction in the 100-year peak flow rate.
The discharge from the truck yard on the west side of Building 4 (Nodes 300-312, 21.13
acres) is reduced from 59.4 cfs to 23.3 cfs with the remaining volume of 0.862 ac-ft
temporarily stored in the truck yard at a depth of about 0.74’. This represents a 36.1 cfs or
61% reduction in the 100-year peak flow rate.
Detention in the two truck yards will reduce the 100-year peak flow rate by a total of 84.9
cfs (48.8 cfs + 36.1 cfs). The existing condition total 100-year peak flow rate is
approximately 246.1 cfs (98.2 cfs+147.9 cfs). The detained 100-year proposed condition
flow rate will be approximately 219.6 cfs (88.8 cfs+130.8 cfs). This represents an 11%
reduction in the 100-year existing condition peak flow rate. Due to this reduction, the
proposed development will not negatively impact downstream facilities.
See Appendix “D” for detention calculations.
