BLACKWOOD GROVES
SEWER MAIN DESIGN REPORT
A. General Project Description
This report will give an overview of the proposed wastewater flow generation for the new
development of Blackwood Groves. The 7.84-acre site is situated in the southeast portion of
Bozeman within the Residential Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) Zone on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1,
Block 13 of the Blackwood Grove Subdivision. The development includes 11 buildings (9
residential, a clubhouse, and a maintenance building), consisting of 216 units. The proposed
infrastructure is anticipated to be constructed during the fall of 2025. No phasing is proposed for
the sewer system, however, the units within the development will be phased. The sewer
infrastructure will be constructed during Phase 1.
Included in this report is a description of the proposed wastewater collection system and design
parameters. Once the wastewater system is constructed and approved, the system will become a
part of the City of Bozeman (C.O.B.) system. The following references were used in the
wastewater facilities design and capacity analysis:
a. COB Design Standards and Specifications Policy, 2017. Addendum #7
b. COB Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (MPWSS).
c. City adopted MPWSS and Adopted Addenda
d. COB Wastewater Facility Plan, 2015
e. WQB Circular No. 2
f. City of Bozeman Zoning Map
g. City of Bozeman Infrastructure Viewer
The procedures and parameters outlined in the COB Design Standards and Specifications Guide
were used in the design of the sewer infrastructure for the proposed development.
B. Capacity Analysis
The proposed wastewater collection system consists of 1,088 linear feet of new 8” PVC sewer
main and will provide service to the 11 buildings in the proposed development. Effluent generated
will ultimately flow north and east into existing manholes located on Canter Avenue, and then into
an existing 10” PVC sewer main.
The wastewater demands from the proposed subdivision were estimated based on a flow per capita
basis, which provided a more conservative flow than a per zoned acre basis. (COB Table V-2
specifies an average daily flow rate of 1,030 gal/ac-day for residential land use, resulting in 8,075
gpd = 7.81 ac x 1,030 gal/ac-day).
The proposed sewer mains have been sized to flow at no more than 75-percent of full capacity at
peak hour conditions of full build out. A Manning coefficient of 0.013 was used for PVC pipe.
Blackwood Groves
Wastewater Design Report
Page 2 of 3
The average daily flow is based on the number of units, 2.17 residents per unit, and 64.4 gallons
per capita per day, the latter two values based on COB Wastewater Facility Plan, 2015 design
standards:
(216 units ∗2.17 residents
unit ∗64.4 gallons
capita/day )=30,186 gpd
An approximate population for Blackwood Groves at full build out is calculated as:
216 units ∗2.17 residents
unit =469 persons
This equivalent population can be utilized to determine a peaking factor:
(𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥
𝑃𝐴𝑣𝑒
)=18 +𝑃.5
4 +𝑃.5 =18 +.456.5
4 +.456.5 =3.99
(P = Population/thousands)
Based on a total population of 469 people, a peaking factor of 3.99 was calculated. The peak flow
rate anticipated from the development based on an average daily flow of 30,186 gallons per day
is:
Peak Flow Rate = (30,186 gpd x 3.99) =120,442 gpd
= 83.6 gpm
= 0.186 cfs
Additionally, an infiltration flow of 1,176 gpd (150 gal/acre/day x 7.84 acres) has been added to
the flow, resulting in a total flow of 163,023 gpd (0.251 cfs).
The sewer main size for the development will be an 8-inch, based on minimum required pipe size
and designed at a 0.40% slope minimum. An 8-inch PVC sewer main at 0.40% slope has a capacity
of 0.64 cfs at ¾ pipe depth, which exceeds the proposed peak flow of 0.186 cfs effluent generated
from the site. Therefore the 8-inch PVC sewer main is adequate for the Blackwood Groves
wastewater generation. Calculations are included in the end of this report in Appendices 1 and 2.
C. Proposed Collection System
PVC pipe meeting COB specifications will be used for the sewer mains. The effluent from The
Blackwood Groves development will drain into a proposed 8-inch diameter sanitary sewer main
via 6-inch sewer services. The 8” PVC sewer main will be connected to an existing 8” PVC stub
which then flows into to an existing 10” PVC sewer main in Canter Avenue. The maximum
manhole spacing will be less than 400 feet for the 8-inch main. Manholes will be constructed
Blackwood Groves
Wastewater Design Report
Page 3 of 3
according to COB specifications. The 6-inch PVC sewer service will be installed at 1% minimum
slope. The sewer main will maintain a minimum separation of 10-feet horizontally and 18-inches
vertically from any proposed or existing public water mains.
D. Downstream Capacity Analysis
The sanitary sewer mains were designed in conformance with the City of Bozeman Wastewater
Improvement Plan. It is anticipated that the City of Bozeman sanitary sewer system has enough
capacity to accommodate the main extension as this was included in the onsite design of the
downstream collection system, see Appendix 3 for the master sanitary sewer report for the
subdivision. A capacity letter from a City Engineer will be required prior to DEQ approval of the
system.
E. Conclusion
As outlined above, a proposed 8-inch sanitary sewer collection system serving The Blackwood
Groves residential development has the capacity for the effluent generated from the development.
The wastewater sewer collection system was designed on a conservative premise for future
development. This project will require the approval of the City of Bozeman Engineer and MDEQ.

INTRODUCTION
The Blackwood Groves Subdivision is a proposed 120-acre development located at the south side
of the City of Bozeman in Gallatin County, Montana. The proposed project is zoned as Residential
Emphasis Mixed Use (REMU) and will feature a variety of commercial, residential, and park/open
space developments. As part of the project, public improvements including water, sanitary sewer,
stormwater, and City road infrastructure are proposed.
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT
The project is located within the City’s Cattail Creek Sanitary Sewer Drainage Basin, and the City
has required that all sewer flow from the proposed project remain within this drainage basin.
Therefore, in order to connect to the Cattail Creek Drainage basin, an 18” sanitary sewer main
extension will be installed in the S. 19th Avenue right of way from this project north to the existing
manhole in the S. 19th Avenue / Graf Street intersection.
This 18” sewer main extension is part of the City’s master wastewater facility plan, and also in the
Capital Improvements Plan for this portion of the City. As part of the wastewater facility plan, a
10” sewer main will need to be extended to a manhole in S. 19th Avenue at the southern limit of
work for the project to allow for continued southward extension in the future. Since the majority of
the property on the west side of S. 19th Avenue along the project frontage has already been
developed and provided access to City sewer mains, the proposed sewer design for this project
extends the 10” sewer main through the project’s interior streets to the project’s southern boundary
on South 19th Avenue. In addition to the 18” and 10” sewer mains, the City’s wastewater facility
plan also requires the extension of a 12” sanitary sewer main to the southeast portion of the project
for future extension to the S. 3rd Avenue / Goldenstein Lane intersection.
Once the 18” sewer main enters the site, the main will split into a 10” and 12” at the Avenue A and
Cambridge Drive intersection. The 10” sewer main will run south down Avenue A to Street E, then
west on Street E to South 19th Avenue. A 10” sewer main stub will be installed at the edge of the
South 19th Avenue improvements. The 12” sewer main will extend east down Cambridge Drive to
South 15th Avenue. Then head south down South 15th Avenue to the intersection with Street B. The
Design Report - Page 2 of 4
main will then extend east on Street B to South 11th Avenue. Once on South 11th Avenue the main
will extend south to the project limits. A 12” sewer main stub will be installed at the southern
project limits on South 11th for future development.
All of the proposed single-family residential lots will be served by City standard 4” sewer service
stubs. The larger lots (planned for multi-family and commercial developments) will be served by a
combination of 8” sewer main stubs for future extension within the lots, and individual sewer
service stubs, where practical. The size and location of these proposed stubs and services will be
finalized with the infrastructure design of the individual phases of the development.
DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS
The projected sanitary sewer flows for the proposed project were calculated using the design
values in the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications. Since all of the lots proposed
for multi-family development have a preliminary concept design, anticipated dwelling units could
be estimated for each of the multi-family lots. The flows from the residential lots were estimated
using a design population of 2.17 people per dwelling unit, and residential flow rate of 65 gpcd, per
city standards. A residential peaking factor was calculated using the Harmon Formula for the
projected residential population for the entire project. This was then used to determine the
projected peak hour flows.
Although the project is zoned as REMU, several of the lots are expected to have a commercial use.
Since the design of these lots is not yet finalized, the flow rate of 3,000 gal/acre/day for B-3 zoning
designations from Table V-1 “Wastewater Flow Rate for Zoned Undeveloped Areas” in the City
Design Standards was conservatively used to estimate the projected daily flow from these lots. The
maximum peaking factor of 4.5 was also assigned to these commercial lots to estimate the peak
hour flow rate.
Inflow and Infiltration for the proposed development was calculated using the city standard
estimate of 150 gal/acre/day of infiltration. This infiltration rate was applied to the entire
development, with the exception of the two eastern parks that are not adjacent to sanitary sewer
Design Report - Page 3 of 4
main extensions, and several sections of the streets where sewer mains are not proposed. This flow
rate was also applied to the portions of the S. 19th Avenue right of way where the 18” sewer main
extension is proposed.
DESIGN LOAD
The projected flows from the development were calculated on a block-by-block basis, and also
categorized per individual phases of the development. Tables containing these calculations can be
found in Appendix B.
Below are the projected design loads for the proposed development based on the calculations in
Appendix B:
Residential Population Estimate: 1,668 people
Average Daily Flow Rate: 157,710 gal/day
Daily Infiltration Rate: 16,621 gal/day
Peak Hour Flow Rate: 440.3 gal/minute
The capacity of 8”, 10”, 12”, and 18” sewer mains at their minimum allowable slopes were
checked using Manning’s Equation: Q = (1.486/n)AR2/3S1/2

CONCLUSION
Based on these calculations, the proposed 18” and 12” sewer main extensions are sufficiently sized
to convey the proposed sanitary sewer flows from the entire subdivision. The proposed flows are
to be conveyed by multiple 8” sewer main extensions that will connect to the 10”, 12” and 18”
mains at several locations, so at no point will the entire development be concentrated into a single
section of 8” or 10” sewer mains.
The proposed sanitary sewer main extensions within the development will be sized and finalized
with infrastructure design of the individual phases of the development.
