11.11 Problem Defined
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by new 8” main extensions from
existing sewer mains in adjacent City streets, and by new service
connections on existing sewer mains adjacent to the property. Proposed
sewer mains will be in new City streets constructed with the subdivision.
The project will provide approximately 1,061 linear feet of new sewer main
and 9 manholes. The proposed sewer system improvements are shown on
the Plan Sheet C3.0 Sewer Plan attached at the end of this report.
Three 8” sewer main stubs will be installed for future use. In addition, one
service will be installed for use by the existing sale barn building.
11.12 Design Conditions
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by the City of Bozeman Municipal
system. This project is located within the planned service area of the City’s
system.
Sewer use per square foot of office, retail, and restaurant was estimated
based on DEQ Circular 4 – Table 3.1. Conversion factors and usage rates
used to derive per square foot rates from per unit rates are shown below in
Table 1.
Table 1. Relative Water Use – Per Unit to Per Square Foot
Estimated wastewater generation for the Stockyard Property as shown
below in Table 2 has been estimated utilizing values provided in City design
standards, Facility Plans, and those values shown above in Table 1.
Wastewater flows generated on-site are split into a north and south basin
draining to an existing sewer on Hillside Lane and an existing sewer on E
Griffin Dr. respectively. For sewer main sizing, typical City design flows are
utilized.

Table 2 – Stockyard Property Wastewater Generation
A small area of R-4 zoned property immediately to the south of the
Stockyard may be served by future service connections to the sewer main
installed in Story Mill Road.
A standard value of 150 gpd/acre has been applied to the site to account for
infiltration and inflow into the sewer collection system. Applying a peaking
factor of 4.09, produces a peak hour flow of 79.46 gpm. Sewer mains are
sized to convey peak hour flows at a maximum flow depth of 75% full.

Table 2, above, shows that an 8” sewer main has a 75% flow depth capacity
of 313 gpm installed at a minimum slope of 0.4%. An 8” sewer main at
0.4% has sufficient capacity to provide sewer service for the entire
Stockyard Property, however some buildings will be served by connections
to existing mains and not the new sewer mains.
11.13 Impact on Existing Wastewater Facilities
A review of the City of Bozeman 2015 Wastewater Facility Plan identifies
some long-term improvements may be required on downstream portions of
the City’s sewer collection system.
11.14 Project Description
The project description is provided at the beginning of the Engineering
Report.
11.15 Drawings
Please see Plan Sheet C3.0 Sewer Plan attached at the end of this report,
which shows the proposed sewer improvements. Plan and profile drawings
and sewer detail sheets are included with the subdivision infrastructure plan
set.

11.16 Design Criteria
The Stockyard Property sewer main extensions will be designed in
accordance with Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 2,
and the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy.
Construction specifications will be Montana Public Works Standards and
Specifications (MPWSS), and the City of Bozeman Modifications to
MPWSS.
11.17 Site Information
The Stockyard project is located in the northwest and southwest quadrants
at the intersection of East Griffin Dr and Story Mill Rd. The property was
previously occupied by an auction house, restaurant, several single-family
residences and associated outbuildings. The site is gently sloping to the
west and south.
A geotechnical investigation was conducted, and the report is provided as
an attachment to the infrastructure submittal. In summary the geotechnical
investigation found a variable depth of fine-grained soils overlying gravel
sediments. The depth to gravel varies between 3 and 13 feet.
Groundwater monitoring was conducted throughout the 2022 season and
found seasonal high groundwater depths ranged from 2’ to greater than 13’
below existing grade. Groundwater is flowing to the west and is assumed
to discharge at the East Gallatin River which is the western boundary of the
southern part of this project. The range of groundwater depth encountered
was largely due to the rolling topography of the site with some wells located
at lower or higher relative locations. After site grading, high groundwater
will more consistently be about 10’ below the surface.
11.18 Alternative Selection/ Analysis
Due to the project’s location within the City of Bozeman, extension of public
mains was the only sewer collection alternative.
11.19 Environmental Impacts
Continued use and new extensions of City of Bozeman municipal sewer
mains has the least environmental impact. No new environmental impacts
will be caused by these sewer main extensions.
