1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of Report
This report is intended to serve as the design document for the infrastructure improvements
associated with the construction of a 31-lot major subdivision. The proposed infrastructure has
been designed accounting for future connections, as the property is bordered to the south by
undeveloped land which will be part of future phases of this project.
1.2 Scope
Expansion of existing infrastructure (water and sewer mains) and storm water design elements
are within the scope of this report. All improvements analyzed in this report are within the property
with proposed connections to existing infrastructure. No off-site improvements are expected.
2 Location and Site Information
The property occupies 8.7 acres and is located on the western side of Bozeman and is bordered
to the north by East Norton Ranch Phase 3, in the S ½ of Section 9, Township 2 South, Range 5
East, P.M.M., City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, MT. The existing zoning is R-5 and the nearby
surrounding zoning is R-3, R-4, REMU, and B-2M. The property is within the service area for
municipal water and sewer from the City of Bozeman.

Land Use August 2022 Page 4
Version 08/30/2022
3 Land Use
3.1 Existing
The site is currently a vacant lot with three existing intersection tie-ins –South Eldorado Avenue,
South Reliance Avenue, and Fallon Street. The majority of the site has been left undisturbed.
There is currently a sewer main extension running along the sites southern edge from Fallon
Street and then turning north running up to South Reliance Avenue.
3.2 Proposed
The proposed major subdivision will consist of 21 single family lots and 10 multi-family lots for a
total of 64 units. Through this development South Eldorado Avenue, South Reliance Avenue, and
Fallon Street will all be extended. All centralized lots will be alley-loaded with water and sewer
mains installed within the provided 30’ alley right-of-way. Both water and sewer mains will connect
to existing stub-outs from the improvements associated with Phases 3C and 4 of East Norton
Ranch. The existing stormwater retention pond in the northwest corner of East Norton Ranch
Phase 5 will be sized to accommodate the runoff from this project see section 6 of this report.
4 Water System
The proposed water system will tie into existing mains installed during the development of the
East Norton Ranch Phase 3C and 4. The water system will be looped into the City of Bozeman
water system at South Eldorado, South Reliance, and Fallon. The water main will also be installed
within the provided alley right of ways.
All new water mains will be 8” diameter, class 51 ductile iron pipe. Fire hydrant leads will be 6”
diameter ductile iron pipe as well. All mains will be wrapped in V-Bio Enhanced Polyethylene
Encasement per DIRPA recommendations. Type K copper water services will extend 8’ past the
property line and will be 1” in diameter for the single-family lots, 1.5” diameter for the four-plex
lots, and 2” diameter for the seven-plex lot.
4.1 Water Use Data
Average Daily Flow
64 dwellings at 2.17 persons/dwelling = 138.88 people
138.88 people at 170 gpd = 23,610 gpd
Peak Demand
Peaking factor = 2.3 (peaking factor per City of Bozeman Design Standards)
23,610 gpd (2.3) = 54,302 gpd
Total max day flow = 54,302 gpd / 1440 min/day = 37.7 gpm instantaneously
Peak Hour Demand
23,610 gpd (3) = 70,830 gpd = 49.2 gpm
4.2 Fire Flow
Required fire flow for R-5 zoning is 3,000 gpm. Using a nearby hydrant’s flow data provided by
the City of Bozeman a WaterCAD model was created to simulate fire flows from the proposed
hydrants. A peak hour demand of 49.2 gpm was divided and distributed to nodes within Urban +
Engineering Report – Urban + Farm Phase 1
Sewer System August 2022 Page 5
Version 08/30/2022
Farm Phase 1 to create demands for the subdivision. As the proposed subdivision will be
connected to the existing pressure network some of the existing system was included in the
model. The nodes that are part of the existing subdivision to the north were given the same
demands as the nodes within Urban + Farm Phase 1 as they are very similar residential densities.
The pressure and flow within the proposed system was simulated in the WaterCAD model by
adding a reservoir and a pump to the model at a connection point. The reservoir supplies the
system with water and the pump is used to provide pressure. The reservoir and pump were set
to the same elevation as the tie-in location as to not create any head on the system from the
reservoir. All head in the system is generated from the pump.
Running a fire flow analysis scenario for each hydrant at 20 psi both hydrants are capable of
supplying over 3,000 gpm while also satisfying the demands of the subdivision. WaterCAD results
are attached. The existing hydrant used to create pressure/flow for the system was also modeled
as a check. At 20 psi the model predicts a lower available flow rate than the supplied hydrant
data. This is due to the model being a small part of a larger network. This lower flow rate is a
result of a conservative model.
5 Sewer System
During construction of Phases 3C of East Norton Ranch, 8-inch sewer main stubs were extended
from a manhole on South Eldorado and South Reliance. During construction of Phase 4 of East
Norton Ranch a 10” sewer main was ran west through the property along the south edge of the
property from Fallon and turns north running to South Reliance. This sewer main will collect all
sewer from the property, the entire sanitary sewer network within Urban + Farm Phase 1 will drain
to this existing sewer main and flow to the Norton Ranch lift station. The Norton Ranch lift station
upgrades are currently being designed by HDR and the development group is working with them
and nearby developments to ensure adequate capacity does exist.
5.1 Design Flow Rates
Average daily Flow
64 dwellings at 2.17 persons/dwelling = 138.88 persons
138.88 persons at 64.4 gallons/day/person = 8,944 gpd
Peak Flow
Peaking Factor = (18+0.138881/2)/(4+0.138881/2) = 4.20
Peak Hour Flow = 4.20 x 8,944 gpd = 37,565 gpd
The peak hour flow calculated above is 26.1 gpm.
Including infiltration:
150 gallons/acre/day (8.7 acres) = 1305 gpd = 0.91 gpm
Peak hour flow (including infiltration) = 27.0 gpm
The proposed 10” and 8” gravity mains are capable of flowing 27 gpm at minimum slope (0.28%
and 0.4% respectively) with a depth of only 1.5”. This capacity calculation was performed using a
Manning’s friction factor of 0.013. As mentioned previously, the gravity network will then discharge
into the existing 10” network located in South Reliance Avenue.
Engineering Report – Urban + Farm Phase 1
Stormwater Network August 2022 Page 6
Version 08/30/2022
All sewer main piping will have uniform slope between manholes. Sewer mains have been
designed at a slope to accommodate for future development in the area. Individual sewer services
will be provided for each lot within the development. The 4” Schedule 40 PVC sewer services will
be extended 8 feet past the property line of each lot. A 4” gravity sewer service on a ¼”/foot grade
is capable of supporting flows from each lot.
The existing sewer network was analyzed for the proposed development as well as for future
development. The existing 10” sewer main in Reliance as well as the existing 15” sewer main in
Laurel Parkway are adequately size for the proposed development as well as future
developments. See Appendix E for sewer analysis.
6 Stormwater Network
This section provides a design basis and hydraulic calculations for sizing storm water facilities for
Urban + Farm Phase 1. The City of Bozeman Design Standards were used as the primary
guidelines for this stormwater drainage design.
6.1 General Design
The proposed development will be a combination of roadway and residential lots. The proposed
streets will be paved with curb and gutter. The alleys that split the interior lots will be paved with
an inverse crown. Stormwater runoff generated from the roadway and residential lots is designed
to be collected by the curb and gutter and then directed toward the storm drain inlets. The
stormwater that is collected by the paved alleys will travel down the centerline and then to the
curb and gutter eventually flow north to either existing or new storm drain inlets. The runoff will
then move through the storm sewer system pipes to the existing detention pond constructed with
Norton Ranch Phase 5. A small area will discharge storm runoff to an existing stormwater
retention pond in Norton Ranch Phase 1. The detention pond has been designed with an outlet
structure to limit stormwater runoff from the developed site to the pre-developed runoff rates.
6.2 Hydrologic Methodology
The rational method was used to determine peak runoff rates. The rational formula provides a
peak runoff rate which occurs at the time of concentration.
Q = CiA
Where C = Weighted C Factor
i= Storm Intensity (in/hr)
A = Area (acres)
Q = Runoff (cfs)
The storm intensities were developed from the IDF curve found in Figure I-2 of the City of
Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications. Runoff coefficients for each basin were
calculated using a weighted percentile of impervious and pervious area. The coefficient used are
shown in the table below.
Engineering Report – Urban + Farm Phase 1
Stormwater Network August 2022 Page 7
Version 08/30/2022
Table 1 - Runoff coefficients used.
RUNOFF COEFFICIENTS
Undisturbed 0.2
Low-Med. Residential 0.35
Dense Residential 0.5
Impervious 0.9
Time of concentration of overland flow was determined using the following equation:
Tc = 1.87(1.1-C)D1/2
S1/3
Where Tc = Time of Concentration, minutes
S= Slope of Basin, %
C= Runoff Coefficient
D= Length of Basin, ft
Time of concentration for gutter flow was determined using the following equation for shallow
concentrated flow velocity:
V = KukS0.5
Tc = D/(60V)
Where V = velocity, fps
Ku = unit conversion, 3.28
k = intercept coefficient
S = slope, %
Tc = Time of Concentration, minutes
D= Length of Basin, ft
V= Velocity, fps
The rational method was used to compute runoff flow rates. This method can be used for storm
durations equal or greater than the time of concentration. This method assumes the maximum
runoff rate occurs at the time of concentration and continues to the end of the storm. Maximum
runoff rates for durations greater than the time of concentration are less than the peak runoff rate
because average storm intensities decrease as duration increases.
Retention volumes were calculated using the modified rational method. The modified rational
method uses peak flow rates to determine volume. The peak flow rate is determined using the
rational method, that peak flow rate is conservatory held constant for the duration of the storm.
The volume of retention volume required is calculated by multiplying the peak runoff by storm
duration. City of Bozeman Standards requires that retention volumes be calculated for a 10-yr 2-
hr design storm. The intensities are developed from the IDF curve found in Figure I-2 of the City
of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications. Runoff coefficients are taken from Table 1.
Retention volume is determined using the following equation:

Version 08/30/2022
V = 7200Q
Where V = Volume, cf
Q = flow rate, cfs
6.3 Detention Basin
The stormwater runoff generated from the site will be conveyed to the existing detention pond
that was constructed with Norton Ranch Phase 5. Originally this detention pond was sized to
detain runoff from Urban + Farm Phase 1 when it was planned as part of the Norton Ranch
developments.
In order to determine if the detention pond is sized adequately an analysis of the detention basin
needed to be done to determine if the changes to the original design generate more runoff than
the pond is sized for. The two factors that affect the runoff rate are the basin area and weighted
C factor. Since the detention pond was only sized to accommodate 6.4 of the 8.7 acres of Urban
and Farm Phase 1 the total area in the detention basin increases by 2.27 acres. Urban and Farm
Phase 1 will also have a higher density residential layout which results in a higher weighted C
factor.
The detention pond was originally calculated to require a storage volume of 37,018 cubic feet;
however, the pond was sized at a storage volume of 47,688 cubic feet per C and H Norton Ranch
Phase 5 Design Report. Leaving an additional 10,670 cubic feet of storage. With the increase in
area as well as a higher weighted C factor the entire detention basin, which includes Phase 3 and
5 Norton Ranch and Urban Farm Phase 1, requires a storage volume of 39,028 cubic feet.
Coordination with owners of the existing detention pond is in place to expand the detention pond
to have an additional capacity of 2,010 cubic feet of storage to accommodate Urban + Farm Phase
1.
All drainage basins in Urban + Farm Phase 1 flow to the new Norton Ranch Phase 5 detention
pond except Basin E. Basin E will flow into an inlet just north in Laurel Parkway where it will
discharge into a pond built with Phase 1 of Norton Ranch. This pond was initially sized to
accommodate a larger area of contribution from Urban and Farm Phase 1. Originally the drainage
area was designed for a volume of 3,217 cubic feet, with Urban + Farm Phase 1 the contributing
volume is 2,779 cubic feet. No further expansion of this pond is required.
6.4 Inlets & Storm Sewer
Using the Rational Method, a contributing flow to each inlet in the system was determined. The
inlet grates were designed to accommodate the 25-year storm event without overtopping a depth
0.15’ below the top of curb or spreading greater than 9 feet. Inlets and manholes will have a 9”
sump for sediment collection.
Storm pipes were sized to accommodate the 25-year storm event and were modeled in Flow
Master. Pipes are sloped to maintain a minimum velocity of 3 ft/s when flowing full to prevent
sediment deposit. A manning’s N of 0.013 was conservatively used for the A-2000 Storm pipe
within the model.
Both existing inlets and storm pipes were analyzed for capacity with Urban + Farm Phase 1’s
runoff. The two proposed inlets will connect to an existing 15” storm pipe which was stubbed out
as part of Norton Ranch Phase 3C. This 15” pipe currently has a capacity of 4.96 cfs at 14” full,
the 25-year event flow rate generated from Urban + Farm Phase 1 is 4.86 cfs. The 12” storm pipe
that connects the two proposed inlets has a capacity of 5.4 cfs, the required capacity for the 25-
Engineering Report – Urban + Farm Phase 1
Stormwater Network August 2022 Page 9
Version 08/30/2022
year event is 1.03 cfs. The existing 15” pipe connected to the existing inlet on Eldorado has a
capacity of 7.25 cfs, the required capacity for the 25-year event is 4.10 cfs.
Table 2 - Pipe Capacity
PIPE SIZE 25-YR FLOW RATE CAPACITY
P1 New S. Reliance 12” 1.03 CFS 5.40 CFS
P2 Existing S. Reliance 15” 4.86CFS 4.96 CFS
P3 Existing S. Eldorado 15” 4.10 CFS 7.25 CFS
6.5 Groundwater
Groundwater is known to be high in this area. A geotechnical report was done in April 2021 that
included borings near and on the property. Test Pit 1 was dug on site and Test Pit 2 was just
south of the site. Groundwater was found at 4.8’ in Test Pit 1 and at 5.1’ in Test Pit 2. Test Pit 1
had a monitoring well installed and ground water depth has been recorded. Test Pit 1 had a
maximum groundwater height of 2.56’ below the surface on May 20th, 2021.
6.6 System Maintenance
Regular maintenance of stormwater facilities is necessary for proper function of the drainage
system. Maintenance items include removing debris from inlet grates and culverts, cleaning and
flushing pipes, cleaning manhole sumps, and establishing ground cover after construction.
6.7 Erosion Sediment Control
During construction, stormwater pollutant controls will include silt fencing, straw wattles, rock
check dams, and straw bales. Silt fence, straw waddles, or other perimeter protection will be
installed on the down gradient edge of disturbed soil. Straw wattles, straw bales, or other erosion
protection will be placed near existing and newly installed culverts. Temporary erosion control
measures will be installed and continuously maintained for the duration of construction.
This project will require acceptance of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) permit
for stormwater discharge associated with construction activity prior to starting any construction.
Protection during and immediately after construction, will be controlled in accordance with this
permit and the Montana Sediment and Erosion Control Manual.
Permanent erosion control will consist of implementation of seeding disturbed areas and placing
riprap at pond inlet/outlets. Any visible sediment must be removed from the stormwater system
prior to completing construction.
6.8 Flooding
Excessive runoff from a large storm event (significantly exceeding the design storm, i.e 100-year)
will be routed such that it does not inundate buildings, drainfields or over top the roadway. The
stormwater infrastructure including ditches, culverts, and detention pond outlet structures have
been analyzed for the 100-year storm. Stormwater that overtops the ponds during a large rain
event will flow through the emergency overflow and outlet to Aajker Creek.
