General Information and Design Criteria
The proposed South University District Phase 3 Block 1 development is located
southeast of the intersection of 19th Avenue and Kagy Blvd. This development will
consist of 273 residential units on an 8.3-acre lot.
This project consists of 3 different building types including three flat-style apartments,
one clubhouse and one commercial building. The intent of this project is to bring 273
high-quality residential units and a commercial building to a growing part of town
adjacent to the university. This report seeks feedback on the conceptual design and
associated site improvements.
Stormwater mitigation is achieved by using a compact, efficient stormwater
management design utilizing Low Impact Design (LID) methodology to mitigate the
impacts of stormwater runoff. The LID stormwater mitigation has been designed in
accordance with City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy for
retention/infiltration facilities. Survivability of LID systems through conventional
development is difficult. Erosion control Best Management Practices (BMP’s) will be
utilized during construction to reduce the impacts of construction site runoff, until the
LID systems are constructed.
Plans are provided showing proposed grading, drainage flow paths, and stormwater
retention/infiltration details and locations.

Existing Site Conditions
SUD Phase 3 Block 1 is a block parcel created by the South University District Phase 3
Major Subdivision. The SUD Block 1 development site was previously used
agriculturally prior to its subdivision development. The existing ground slopes north at
grades between 1-3%. Existing offsite drainage is minimal, if present it would flow west
to an existing irrigation ditch on the east side of 19th Avenue right-of-way, east to
Mandeville Creek or north to an irrigation ditch on the south side of Kagy Boulevard,
which then either infiltrates or makes its way to Mandeville Creek. Block 1 cannot utilize
Mandeville Creek as an outfall due to the topography, creek location and adjacent
properties. The Block 1 Development will have its own on-site retention/infiltration
facilities.
Stormwater Plan 4 8/5/2024
A geotechnical evaluation was conducted and is provided in a separate appendix of this
submittal. This site is typical of Bozeman with fine-grained soils overlying gravel
deposits. Geotechnical borings have determined the depth to gravel ranges from 3.5 to
5 feet below existing grade. The underlying gravelly sandy material will provide long-
term infiltration of stormwater.
Groundwater monitoring was conducted in 2023 during the high groundwater season for
the SUD Phase 3 subdivision development. Groundwater monitoring found groundwater
depths ranged from 6.5’ to 10.0’ below existing grade in the areas of the site proposed
for development. The site is not located within a 100-year floodplain.
Storm Drainage Plan Description
The storm drainage plan for the SUD Phase 3 Block 1 development consists of four (4)
subsurface infiltration systems and fourteen (14) at-grade bio-swale infiltration systems
distributed evenly throughout the project site and are designed to capture and infiltrate
stormwater in a manner that more closely replicates the natural hydrology of the site.
The overall storm drainage plan for Block 1 is depicted in attached Figure 2. This plan
shows proposed drainage basin areas, flow paths, and retention/infiltration system
locations. In general, grades will be sloped away from buildings towards the center of
the site. The sub drainage areas typically drain towards the center of the site via curb
and gutter, and sloping of the parking and drive aisles. The runoff is conveyed to inlets,
bioswales and storm drains connected to subsurface retention/infiltration systems
located within the drive aisles or landscape areas. Prior to infiltration into the native
gravels below the systems, stormwater runoff will be treated through sediment removal
in the pretreatment chambers or in the bioswales. Where feasible, each subsurface
infiltration system was sized to capture and infiltrate the design storm event to reduce
the chances of overloading down gradient stormwater infrastructure. Stormwater runoff
will bypass retention systems once they are full and be conveyed to the next down-
gradient storm system that has capacity remaining. The site will be divided into 6 sub-
drainage areas as shown in attached Figure 2.
Stormwater Plan 5 8/5/2024
Estimation of Runoff
Runoff estimates were obtained for each sub-drainage area using City of Bozeman
standards. The site’s stormwater facilities have been sized to fully capture the 10-year,
2-hour storm event. The Bozeman IDF (Intensity, Duration, and Frequency) curves
show a rainfall intensity of 0.41 in/hour for the 10-year, 2-hour storm, totaling a 0.82-
inch storm event. Table 1 shows the storm runoff calculations for the 6 sub-drainage
basins. Specifically, the design uses the volume of the 10-year, 2-hour storm for
retention calculations.

Retention Facilities
The site is divided into 6 sub-drainage areas, each with its own sub-surface infiltration
system or bioswale system designed to capture and infiltrate the design storm event.
Sub-Drainage Areas
Each sub-drainage area has a subsurface or bioswale infiltration system which is
designed to capture and infiltrate stormwater runoff from hardscapes, buildings,
and landscaped areas. The underground infiltration systems are approximately
2.5 feet in depth starting approximately 2 feet below finished grade and extend
down to the native gravel soil horizon. Storage media is comprised of a minimum
of 3.5 feet of crushed gravel with a minimum of 6 inches at both the top and
bottom of the system. Each retention system is hydraulicly connected to the
down gradient retention system via storm piping or overland grading flow paths.
Each system is designed to allow for surfacing bypassing via valley gutters or
curb and gutter drainage to be captured by a down gradient retention system.

Table 2 below shows that sub-drainage areas meet the retention of the 10-year,
2-hour storm event.

Groundwater Impact Analysis
Groundwater monitoring data was collected weekly in 2023 between March 31st and
July 5th. Table 3 below shows the chamber bottom elevations for each system in relation
to the extrapolated seasonally high groundwater elevation at that retention system’s
location. As shown in Table 3, the separation between chamber bottom and seasonally
high groundwater ranges from 3.7 feet to 10.3 feet with a site system average of 7.4
feet of separation. Ideally, a separation of 3 feet from seasonally high groundwater is
preferred to ensure long-term survivability and performance of the retention system. The
site stormwater facilities all provide excess of 3 feet if separation from the extrapolated
seasonally-high groundwater observed.

Storm Event Analysis
A storm event analysis was previously conducted to determine the percentile storm
events in the City of Bozeman. The exercise analyzed 30 years of recorded 24-hour
rainfall events using precipitation data collected at MSU rain gauge Station
USC00241044. The analysis excluded snow fall events and 24-hour rainfall events that
Stormwater Plan 7 8/5/2024
accumulated less than 0.1-inches. Table 4 below summarizes the percentile storm
events produced by the analysis. As indicated by the table, the site stormwater facilities
as designed would retain a storm volume in excess of the 95th percentile storm event.

Conveyance Capacity
As designed, each retention system has the capacity to completely capture the 100-
year 5-minute (0.44 inch) storm event. The distributed retention systems throughout the
site reduce the likelihood of overloading any single conveyance system. Each retention
system has a primary overflow and a secondary overflow. Each overflow has adequate
capacity to convey the designed high intensity storm event without overloading the
system. The stormwater retention systems work in tandem to reduce the compounding
effects that come with a single large drainage basin. The site conveyance systems were
each individually analyzed to ensure adequate capacity exists in the event there is a
failure within the system (i.e. clogging).
Curb and Gutter
Stormwater runoff in most sub-drainage basins will be collected in curb and
gutter on the site to direct runoff into the underground storm pipe network. To
ensure the standard curb design will provide adequate conveyance capacity for
peak flows, curb and gutter with the greatest flows and least amount of
redundant or secondary storm conveyance options was identified and analyzed
for conveyance capacity. The critical curb required to convey the maximum flow
was identified as the approximately 184’ length of curb running from east to west
along the north side of Aisle “1” on the north end of the site, serving a catchment
area of approximately 27076 sf (ie Most of Basin 2A Drainage Area). This
catchment area produces a peak flow of 1.81 cfs for the 25-year-5-minute design
storm. As shown in Table 5 below, at the minimum slope of 0.6%, the curb on
site has a Gutter Spread of 0.22ft during a flow of 1.81cfs.

Gutter Spread (ft) 0.22
Storm Drains
The hydraulic capacity of the storm drains were analyzed to determine the
required pipe size to convey the 25-year, 5-minute storm event. The maximum
25-year event for any of the basins draining to a 12” storm pipe produces
approximately 1.90 cfs of runoff. The capacity of a 12” storm drain at 0.5% slope
is 2.58 cfs at 90% full pipe flow. Therefore, 12” storm drains have the capacity to
convey the 25-year peak runoff of any drainage basin from the site to the
retention systems. The maximum 25-year event for any of the basins draining to
a 15” storm pipe produces approximately 1.30 cfs of runoff. The capacity of a 15”
storm drain at 0.5% slope is 4.68 cfs at 90% full pipe flow. Therefore, 15” storm
drains have the capacity to convey the 25-year peak runoff of any onsite defined
drainage areas. The maximum 25-year event for any of the basins draining to a
24” storm pipe produces approximately 3.80 cfs of runoff. The capacity of a 24”
storm drain at 0.5% slope is 16.39 cfs at 90% full pipe flow. Therefore, 24” storm
drains have the capacity to convey the 25-year peak runoff of any onsite defined
drainage areas.
