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 multi-family mixed-use apartment complex with 300
individual apartment units in five multi-story buildings. The proposed infrastructure has been
designed accounting for future connections from the south, as the project will connect to the
existing sewer main within the Davis Lane right-of-way and will extend water from the existing
dead-end water main near the intersection of Davis Lane and Galloway Street.
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 8.55 acres and is located on the northwestern side of Bozeman bordered
to the west by Davis Lane, in the SW ¼ of Section 35, Township 1 South, Range 5 East, P.M.M.,
City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, MT. The property has recently been annexed into the City as
B-2M zoning and is within the service area for municipal water and sewer from the City of
Bozeman.

Land Use July 2024 Page 4
Version 07/31/2024
3 Land Use
3.1 Existing
The existing property contains a single-family dwelling that is serviced with an on-site well and
wastewater treatment system. The home, wastewater treatment system, and well will all be
properly abandoned and removed from site. City of Bozeman water and sewer mains will both be
extended to meet the demands of the proposed development.
Stormwater runoff will be captured and detained on-site utilizing underground storage with the
adjacent Section Line Ditch ultimately being the outfall location. There are jurisdictional wetlands
located along the Ditch and the northern property boundary, which are being coordinated with the
ACOE on next steps related to the impacts associated with the development.
3.2 Proposed
The proposed development will consist of 5 separate apartment buildings, each 4-stories with the
building along Davis Lane frontage having 7,315 square feet of ground level commercial space.
Galloway Street will be continued through its existing intersection with Davis Lane, and will dead-
end near the property’s eastern border. In addition to the Galloway Street access, a partial access
(right in, right out) will be constructed in the northern portion of the property. A public access
easement will be provided for the future Windward Avenue along the eastern boundary. The entire
Davis Lane frontage will be improved to a two-lane urban minor arterial standard with a raised
median. Due to the Davis Lane improvements, the existing Section Line Ditch along the property
will be piped.
An 8” sewer main will be extended from the existing 24” main within Davis Lane, that will provide
service to the entire development. The 8” water main that currently terminates at the intersection
of Galloway Street and Davis Lane will be extended into the property to provide domestic and fire
service to all five buildings within the development. The water main will be extended both north
and south within the property’s frontage of Davis Lane. Both the water and sewer mains will be
terminated near the eastern property boundary for future connection.
All stormwater storage and treatment will utilize underground infiltration facilities via piped
storage. The stormwater runoff within Galloway Street will be collected and detained, with a weir-
controlled outlet connecting directly to the proposed Section Line Ditch piping along the western
boundary. Underground storage chambers are proposed under the central courtyard area and
along the northern parking area that will outlet into the existing Section Line Ditch outfall near the
northern property border.
4 Water System
The proposed water system will tie into the existing main installed during neighboring Sundance
development improvements. The existing water main stub is located at the current intersection of
Galloway Street and Davis Lane. The water system will dead-end near the property’s eastern
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Water System July 2024 Page 5
Version 07/31/2024
boundary, with a stub-out provided for future development. A fire hydrant will be provided near
the proposed water main termination for flushing purposes.
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. Ductile iron water services will extend 8’ past the easement line
to each of the 5 buildings proposed.
4.1 Water Use Data
Average Daily Flow
Residential:
300 residential units at 2.5 persons/dwelling = 750 people
750 people at 170 gpd = 127,500 gpd
Neighborhood Commercial:
7,315 sq ft commercial space = 1,200 gpd * (7,315/43,560) = 202 gpd
(Table V-2 in City of Bozeman Design Standards)
Total Daily Flow = 127,702 gpd
Maximum Day Flow
Peaking factor = 2.3 (per City of Bozeman Design Standards)
127,785 gpd (2.3) = 293,906 gpd
Max day flow = 293,906 gpd / 1440 = 204.1 gpm
Peak Hour Demand
Peaking factor = 3.0 (per City of Bozeman Design Standards)
127,702 gpd (3.0) = 383,106 gpd
Peak hour flow = 383,106 gpd / 1440 = 266.05 gpm
Main Sizing
205 gpm (Max Day) + 2000 gpm (Fire Flow) = 2205 gpm
2205 gpm in 8” water main ≈ 14 ft/sec (adequate for fire flow)
267 gpm (Peak Hour) = 1.7 ft/sec in 8” water main
Note: The Integrated Water Resources Plan (2013) showed that the typical domestic water
usage in a City of Bozeman home was around 45 gpcd. The Bozeman Water Facility Plan
(updated 2017) noted that “The domestic use parameter is consistently lower than 70 gpcd
for the non-irrigation season”. With irrigation wells being used for all on-site irrigation
purposes, the above calculations are conservative.
Domestic Service Sizing
Considering Building 3 has the highest flow rate of the development, it will be analyzed for
the domestic service sizing using the same factors as above.
64 residential units at 2.5 persons/dwelling = 160 people at 170 gpd = 27,200 gpd
Peak hour flow = 27,200 gpd (3.0) = 81,600 gpd / 1440 = 56.7 gpm
Building 3 will consist of 32 two-bedroom units and 32 one-bedroom units. As a check to
the above flow, the number of fixture units were estimated as outlined on the next page:
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Water System July 2024 Page 6
Version 07/31/2024
Appliance Fixture Units X # Fixtures = Total
Dishwasher 1.5 64 = 96.0
Clothes Washer 4.0 64 = 256.0
Lavatory Sink 1.0 96 = 96.0
Kitchen Sink 1.5 64 = 96.0
Water Closet 2.5 96 = 240.0
Shower 2.0 32 = 64.0
Combo Tub/Shower 4.0 64 = 256.0
Total = 1104
Based on the above fixture units (2021 Uniform Plumbing Code - Chart A 103.1(1)), the peak
design flow is estimated around 220 gpm. The proposed 4” ductile iron pipe is capable of flowing
220 gpm at approximately 6 ft/s.
Irrigation Demand
The proposed irrigation use for this development will be provided by individual groundwater
wells. A Certificate of Water Right will be obtained through DNRC via Form 602. The
following flow rate will be used for the permitting process:
Assume 1”/week for irrigation of turf areas
Assume 4-month irrigation season
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Sewer System July 2024 Page 7
Version 07/31/2024
Total irrigated turf / open space areas = 0.80 acres
1”/week (16 weeks) = 1.33 ft of irrigation over 0.80 acres
Total irrigation = 1.06 ac-ft/yr = 46,350 cu. ft. (7.48 gal/cu. ft.) = 346,682 gal./year
Over 120-day irrigation season, 15 hours of irrigation per day
346,862 gal./year (1 year/120 days) (1 day/15 hrs) (1 hr/60 min) = 3.2 gpm
4.2 Fire Flow
The City of Bozeman performs annual hydrant testing, and the fire hydrants in the area have been
tested and observed to flow at or above the required 2,000 gpm for available fire flow.
5 Sewer System
As part of the Meadow Creek Subdivision Project, a 24” sewer main was installed within the Davis
Lane right-of-way along the subject property’s frontage. A new manhole connection is proposed
near the north end of the property, to connect to the existing 24” main. The grade of the existing
sewer network allows for the proposed sewer main to be extended near the SE corner of the
property, at the proposed termination of Galloway Street.
5.1 Design Flow Rates
The average daily flow rate calculated above is 127,500 gpd.
The peak hour flow calculated above is 267 gpm.
Including infiltration:
150 gallons/acre/day (8.5 acres) = 1275 gpd / 1440 = 0.89 gpm
Peak hour flow (including infiltration) = 268 gpm
The proposed 8” gravity mains are capable of flowing 268 gpm at minimum slope (0.4%) with a
depth of only 5.3” (67% full). 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
24” trunk main located in Davis Lane. All sewer main piping will have uniform slope between
manholes. Sewer mains have been designed at nearly the same slope as the finished grades
across the site.
Individual sewer services will be provided for each of the 5 buildings within the development, and
are sized according to the peak hour flow for Building 3 calculated above.
Building 3 Peak Hour Flow = 56.7 gpm
A 6” gravity sewer service on a minimum ¼”/foot grade is capable of flowing 56.7 gpm at a depth
of only 1.6” (27% full).
5.2 Buoyancy
In areas of high groundwater, dewatering will be required during construction. The localized
lowering of groundwater will prevent buoyancy during construction.

6 Stormwater Network
This section provides a design basis and hydraulic calculations for sizing the storm water facilities.
The City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy and the Montana Post-
Construction Storm Water BMP Design Guidance Manual (Peterson, Savage, and Heisler 2017)
were used as the primary guidelines for this stormwater drainage design.
6.1 General Design
The proposed development will be a combination of roadway, drive accesses, sidewalks and
parking areas for the apartment buildings. The Galloway Street extension will contain angled back
in parking with perimeter curb and gutter. The road crown will continue into on-street parking
areas, with all sheet flow from the road being captured by the standard curb and gutter system.
All drive accesses, landscaping islands, and building sidewalks will have curb and gutter.
Stormwater runoff generated from the roadway and apartment buildings is designed to be
collected by curb and gutter and then directed toward storm drain inlets. The stormwater runoff
within Galloway Street will be conveyed to curb inlets and into underground storage piping
beneath the curb. All stormwater runoff within the site will also be conveyed by curb and gutter to
the underground stormwater chambers located either under the central shared open space area
or in the northwest corner of the parking area.
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Stormwater Network July 2024 Page 9
Version 07/31/2024
All stormwater areas will utilize the nearby Section Line Ditch as the outfall location. The existing
ditch flows north along the subject property’s western property boundary, where it then ponds up
near the northern property boundary. The watercourse then continues through the existing culvert
found under the neighboring driveway to the north.
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 initially
calculated using a weighted percentile of impervious and pervious area. As the calculated
coefficients were similar to the “Dense Residential” value found in the COB Design Standards,
this value was used for each basin. The coefficient used are shown in the table below.
Table 1 - Runoff coefficients used.
RUNOFF COEFFICIENTS
Undisturbed 0.2
Dense Residential 0.5
Impervious 0.9
Time of concentration 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
The modified rational method approach was used to compute runoff volume. This method can
be used for storm durations equal to 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. The
total runoff volume is computed by multiplying the duration of the storm by the runoff rate. The
SCS method, as discussed below, was also used for further analysis of the initial rainfall volume
(i.e. the runoff treatment volume).
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Stormwater Network July 2024 Page 10
Version 07/31/2024
The method outlined in Appendix C of the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications
was used to size each of the stormwater facilities for the 10-yr flood control volume. Each of the
underground detention facilities will be outlet controlled to only allow discharge at a rate equal to
the pre-developed runoff rate. The hydrology calculations and pond sizing spreadsheets can be
found in Appendix B.
6.3 Detention Basins
The City of Bozeman requires infiltration, evapotranspiration or capture for reuse of the runoff
generated from the first 0.5 inches of rainfall from a 24-hour storm. A common methodology for
estimating the volume of direct runoff from a drainage basin is the SCS method. This method
requires basic data similar to the Rational Method: drainage area, a runoff factor, time of
concentration, and rainfall. However, the SCS approach is more sophisticated in that it also
considers the time distribution of the rainfall and an infiltration rate that decreases during the
course of a storm. The SCS method takes into account the Initial Abstraction (Ia) which is all
losses before runoff begins. This includes surface depressions, water intercepted by vegetation,
evapotranspiration and infiltration. Initial abstraction generally correlates with soil and cover
parameters. Through studies of many small watersheds, Ia was found to be approximated by the
following empirical equation:
Ia = 0.2 x S [eq. 2-2 TR-55]
Where S = (1000/CN) – 10 [eq. 2-4 TR-55]
According to USDA’s Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds (TR-55), the Curve Number
associated with soil type B in urban districts is 90 (Table 2-2a). Using the standard SCS method,
S = (1000/90) – 10 = 1.1 inches
Ia = 0.2 * 1.1 inches = 0.2 inches
Using a 10-year 24-hour rain event in the City of Bozeman the total precipitation (P) is 1.88 inches
of which 0.2 inches is lost due to initial abstraction according to USDA’s SCS method. Therefore,
this drainage plan includes provision for the first 0.2 inches of rainfall from the 24-hour storm to
be retained in surface depressions, intercepted by vegetation, or evapotranspired or infiltrated.
The remaining 0.3 inches will be captured and treated to remove 80% TSS prior to being
discharged from the respective storm basin. This allows the remainder of the first 0.5 inches of
rainfall after initial abstraction to be retained or treated.
Storm basins A, B, and C will all utilize underground detention to capture and release runoff at
the pre-developed flow rate for the 10-year storm. Considering the poor soils and relatively high
groundwater, retention/infiltration is not a practical approach. Rather, the stormwater systems are
designed with a shallow profile to maintain separation from groundwater. As each of the
underground facilities will be outlet controlled and will not have any standing water, 80% TSS
removal will be achieved prior to discharge. Hydrodynamic separation is proposed downstream
of each of the proposed outlet structures for all three basins.
The method outlined in Appendix C of the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications
was used to size the detention pond for the 10-year flood control volume. This method assumes
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Stormwater Network July 2024 Page 11
Version 07/31/2024
the outlet structure release rate is always equivalent to the pre-development runoff rate, and thus
provides a good starting point for overall pond volume.
In the event of a 100-year storm, the runoff will overtop the weirs in the outlet structures and
bypass the hydrodynamic separators. This will allow the increased runoff to be conveyed directly
through the systems without treatment and reach the outfall location. The Section Line Ditch
outfall has sufficient capacity for the 100-year storm event.
6.4 Inlets & Storm Sewer
Using the Modified 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 100-year storm event. Pipes are sloped to maintain a minimum velocity of 3 ft/s when flowing
full to prevent sediment deposit. A manning’s N of 0.009 was used for the A-2000 Storm pipe
within the model per the manufacturer’s specifications.
6.5 Groundwater
Groundwater is known to be high in this area. A soils investigation report was completed for the
property by C&H Engineering in 2021. The report states that the seasonally high groundwater is
near 2.5 feet below ground surface in the northwest corner and near 3.5 feet at the southern end
of the property. In addition to the test pit observations, groundwater monitoring wells were
installed on site this year (2023) and are a good representation of the approximations in the report.
Monitoring data and a map of the three wells can be found in Appendix C, with the most shallow
depths ranging from 3 feet in Well 1 to 1.5 feet in Wells 2 & 3.
6.6 System Maintenance
Regular maintenance of stormwater facilities is necessary for proper function of the drainage
system. Annual inspections are best practice for all underground systems. The detention systems
shall be cleaned when an inspection reveals accumulated sediment or trash is clogging any part
of the overall system. Accumulated sediment and trash can typically be removed via the manhole
or inlet. Additional maintenance items include removing debris from inlet grates and culverts,
cleaning and flushing pipes, cleaning manhole sumps, and establishing ground cover after
construction. The underground detention facilities will be maintained by the property owner’s
association.
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.
Engineering Report – 6590 Davis Lane Master Site Plan
Stormwater Network July 2024 Page 12
Version 07/31/2024
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 fills the underground chambers during a
large rain event will overtop the weir structure outlet to the respective outfall location.
