INTRODUCTION
The Ambient Air Solutions site plan consists of a 7,835 sq. ft. building and associated
improvements located on Lot 7, Block 2 of Nelson Meadows Subdivision in Bozeman, Montana.
A combination of site grading, curb and gutter, and retention ponds will be used to manage
stormwater runoff for the development of the site. The proposed retention ponds were sized for
the 10-year, 2-hour storm and checked for the half inch requirement. Given the 8’-10’ thick layer
of native silt/clay above the native gravel, the ponds were designed with a 36-inch HDPE pipe
oriented vertically that provides a hydraulic connection from the pond to the underlying native
gravel well-draining layer to ensure infiltration. The vertical 36-inch pipe will be backfilled with
well-draining material and covered with landscape fabric, then landscaped over top to provide a
maintenance-free design.
The existing stormwater report from Morrison Maierle (MM) for the Nelson Meadows Subdivision
was utilized to determine the stormwater management plan for the proposed site. It was determined
using AutoCAD that the approximate area of Lot 7, Block 2 that was accounted for in the MM
stormwater report as existing pasture land contributing to the NR-11 subbasin was 0.88 acres.
Using 0.88 acres and a C coefficient of 0.23, the runoff rate for the 10-year 2-hour storm prior to
development produced a runoff volume of 596 cubic feet. As explained in the drainage area section
below, DA #1 only generates 278 cubic feet of runoff and will not impact the existing subdivision
stormwater infrastructure.
Supporting stormwater calculations are attached to this report. A Drainage Area Map is included
in Appendix A. Calculations for each individual drainage area are included in Appendix B.
Groundwater depth information is included in Appendix C. Excerpts from the original Nelson
Meadows Subdivision Stormwater Report are included in Appendix D. A stormwater facilities
maintenance plan is included in Appendix E.
DRAINAGE AREAS
Drainage Area 1
Drainage Area 1 consists of the access drive aisle and perimeter landscaped area which drain into
Prince Lane and Nelson Road and eventually to a curb inlet (I.D: I.K52.00004) located on the
south side of Prince Lane about 125 feet from Nelson Road. The runoff volume from DA#1 was
calculated to be 278 cubic feet. This runoff is accounted for as a portion of the site’s runoff that
previously drained into the NR-11 subbasin from the MM stormwater report.
Drainage Area 2
Drainage Area 2 consists of a portion of the proposed building as well as the sidewalks and the
north parking lot. Runoff from this drainage area flows via sheet flow, curb & gutter, and
downspouts to the proposed Retention Pond #1. This system was sized for the 10-year, 2-hour
storm and was checked for the half inch requirement. It was found that the 10-year, 2-hour storm
governed the design and requires 765 cubic feet of storage. The retention pond was designed to
have a storage volume of 787 cubic feet with 4:1 side slopes and a max. depth of 1.5 feet.
Drainage Area 3
Drainage Area 3 consists of a southern portion of the fenced area, the southern part of the
building’s roof, and the landscaped areas on the southern part of the site. Runoff from this drainage
area flows from the roof downspouts and sheet flows across part of the fenced paved area to
Retention Pond #2 south of the building. This pond was sized for the 10-year, 2-hour storm and
was checked for the half inch requirement. It was found that the 10-year, 2-hour storm governed
the design and requires 647 cubic feet of storage. The retention pond was designed to have a
storage volume of 804 cubic feet with 4:1 side slopes and a max. depth of 1.5 feet.
Drainage Area 4
Drainage Area 4 consists of the west end of the building roof, the landscaped areas at the west and
northwest sides of the site, and a portion of the parking lot west of the building. Runoff from this
drainage area flows from the roof downspouts and sheet flows across the parking lot to Retention
Pond #3 at the northwest corner of the lot. This pond was sized for the 10-year, 2-hour storm and
was checked for the half inch requirement. It was found that the 10-year, 2-hour storm governed
the design and requires 577 cubic feet of storage. The retention pond was designed to have a
storage volume of 649 cubic feet with 4:1 side slopes and a max. depth of 1.5 feet. The DA also
includes stormwater chase #1 and is designed to handle a 25-year storm event.
DEPTH TO GROUNDWATER
Groundwater monitoring was performed by Morrison Maierle in 2018 for Nelson Meadows
Subdivision. Four monitoring wells surrounding Lot 7, Block 2 were used to verify that the
proposed stormwater infrastructure for Ambient Air Solutions is above the high groundwater table.
An average groundwater level was used for designing all to retention systems. The average high
groundwater recorded (Monitoring Wells 2,4,5, &6) was approximately 5.5 feet below ground
surface in April 2018. Approximately 3.6 feet of separation from groundwater is provided for
Retention Ponds #1&2. Approximately 3.1 feet of separation is provided for Retention Pond #3.
See Appendix C for more groundwater depth information.

I = Percent impervious cover (decimal)0.75 decimal

RRV = Runoff Reduction Volume 278 cubic feet
Because the runoff volume from the 10-yr, 2-hr storm (for flood control) is less than the runoff volume produced
by the half inch rainfall (for water quality) DA #1's runoff volume is considered to be the larger volume (278 cf).
DA #1 runs off site into the surrounding R.O.W. which is within the Morrison Maierle basin NR-11 for the entire
subdivision. See caluclation on previous page for Lot 7's contribution to NR-11. Because the original subdivision design
accounted for 595 cf to runoff Lot 7 and into the R.O.W. our design is acceptable because we are only contributing
278 cf to the R.O.W.

STORMWATER FACILITIES INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES The Property Owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of the stormwater drainage facilities within
The Ambient Air Solutions located on Lot 7, Block 2 of Nelson Meadows Subdivision. Storm Water Facilities: 1. Retention Ponds collect storm water runoff and store the water until it evaporates and/or infiltrates into the ground. 2. Pipe Networks convey storm water to different discharge locations underground.
3. Inlets are facilities where storm water runoff enters a pipe network. Inlets include storm water manholes and drains. 4. Catch Basins are sumps typically located directly below storm water inlets and allow sediment to settle before storm water enters the pipe network. Post Construction Inspection:
1. Observe drain time in retention ponds for a storm event after completion of the facility to confirm that the desired drain time has been obtained. If excessively slow infiltration rates are observed then excavate a minimum 5 ft by 5 ft drain to native gravels (or native well-draining material) and backfill with well-draining material (pit-run). 2. Observe that catch basins and outlet structures are clear of any material or obstructions in the
drainage slots. Inspect these structures to insure proper drainage following a storm event. Immediately identify and remove objects responsible for clogging if not draining properly. Semi-Annual Inspection: 1. Check retention ponds three days following a storm event exceeding ¼ inch of precipitation. Failure for water to percolate within this time period indicates clogging or poor-draining soils.
Clear any clogs and replace any poor-draining soils with well-draining gravely soils. 2. Check for grass clippings, litter, and debris in drainage swales, catch basins, and retention ponds. Flush and/or vacuum storm water pipes if excessive material is observed in the facilities.
Standard Maintenance: 1. Remove sediment and oil/grease from retention ponds.
2. Inspect and remove debris from drainage swales, catch basins, and retention ponds. Use a vacuum truck to clean catch basins and dry wells. 3. Monitor health of vegetation and revegetate as necessary to maintain full vegetative cover. 4. Inspect for the following issues: differential accumulation of sediment, drain time, signs of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination (odors, oil sheen in pond water), standing water, trash and debris. Sediment accumulation:
In most cases, sediment from a retention pond does not contain toxins at levels posing a hazardous concern. However, sediments should be tested for toxicants in compliance with current disposal requirements and if land uses in the drainage area include commercial or industrial zones, or if visual or olfactory indications
of pollution are noticed. Sediments containing high levels of pollutants should be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations and the potential sources of contamination should be investigated and contamination practices terminated.
