A. INTRODUCTION
1. Location
The proposed development is located at 621 W. Mendenhall Street in
Bozeman, Montana. The property is bound on the west by N. 7th Avenue, on
the south by W. Mendenhall Street, on the north by an existing alley and on
the east by an existing residence.
The project site can also be described as situated in a portion of Lots 15-20
of Tracy’s Second Addition, City of Bozeman, Gallatin County Montana (see
vicinity map Appendix A).
2. Description of Property
The Northern project consists of a 0.46 acre parcel previously developed with
an existing commercial building, paved parking lot and landscaping. The
existing site has topography which generally slopes from the southwest to the
northeast at approximately 1.0%, with varying slopes from 0.5% to 2.0%.
The project is located within the Bozeman Creek Drainage Basin. The site
currently conveys flows via sheet flow to the existing alley along the north
side of the property and curb and gutter within N. 7th Avenue and W.
Mendenhall Street. No previous drainage studies have been prepared for the
property. The site is not located within a flood hazard zone and there are no
significant geologic features, natural watercourses, or wetlands present at the
site.
3. Proposed Project Description
The Northern project will consist of a new, mixed-use 7-story multi-family
apartment building with structured parking. There will be no changes to
existing floodplains associated with the project. Proposed storm sewer
system improvements will consist of an underground detention vault
designed to capture onsite flows to be released at the historic flow rate via a
sidewalk chase to existing curb and gutter in N. 7th Avenue.

B. Hydrology and Hydrogeology
Drainage analysis for the proposed development has been prepared utilizing
a design storm frequency recurrence interval of 10 years for the minor storm
and 100 years for the major storm in accordance with the City of Bozeman
Design and Construction Standards. A design storm rainfall summary table
from the City of Bozeman (Table 6.5.1) and the geotechnical analysis report
can be found in Appendix D.
Hydrologic analysis has been performed for the proposed development
utilizing the Rational Method in accordance with the City of Bozeman Design
and Construction Standards. This analysis was performed using rainfall
precipitation depths, intensities and runoff coefficients provided in the criteria.
Hydrologic calculations can be found in Appendix B.
Hydraulic analysis has been performed for the proposed development
utilizing the Modified Rational Method (also known as the Rational Method
Triangular Hydrograph Method) in accordance with the City of Bozeman
Design and Construction Standards as presented in Chapter 10 of the HEC-
22, 4th Edition. Hydraulic calculations can be found in Appendix C.
C. EXISTING STORMWATER DRAINAGE CONDITIONS
1. Major Basin Description
The Bozeman Creek Drainage Basin generally flows from the south to north
where flows are ultimately conveyed into the East Gallatin River. Bozeman
Creek is classified as a Special Flood Hazard Area according to FEMA Flood
Insurance Rate Map number 30031C0816E (Panel 816) dated April 21,
2021. The proposed development is located within areas determined to be
outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain per map number 30031C0816E
(see FIRM Map located in Appendix A). In the existing condition, the site
conveys flows via sheet flow to the existing alley along the north side of the
property and curb and gutter within N. 7th Avenue and W. Mendenhall Street.
Flows are ultimately conveyed via curb and gutter and municipal storm sewer
networks to Bozeman Creek and the East Gallatin River. There are no offsite
flows within the major basin upstream of the property that are conveyed into
the site.

2. Sub-Basin Description
Due to the small area of the site and the proposed building layout which
encompasses the entire parcel, a single drainage basin (Basin 1) has been
analyzed to compare pre-developed flows with the proposed flows generated
onsite. The pre-developed peak discharge flow for the 10-year and 100-year
storms was determined to be 0.1 cfs and 0.2 cfs, respectively. Rational
Method hydrologic calculations can be found in Appendix B. A Grading and
Drainage Plan depicting the site layout can be found in Appendix G.
3. Hydrologic and Hydraulic Calculations or Modeling
Hydrologic and hydraulic methods are described in Section B above and
hydraulic capacity for the adjacent curb and gutter in N. 7th Avenue can be
found in Appendix C. An offsite tributary basin analysis has also been
prepared for the site by Incline Civil LLC and is dated April 11, 2025.
D. PROPOSED STORMWATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM
1. Design Standards
Refer to Section B above for all design standards used in accordance with
the City of Bozeman Design and Construction Standards.
2. Drainage System Design
Runoff generated on the proposed development will be collected in roof
drains which will convey flows via internal piping to a proprietary system for
providing water quality below grade. After treatment, the flows will be
conveyed to an underground stormwater detention vault sized to detain the
difference between the 100-year proposed peak inflow rate (2.3 cfs) and the
pre-developed 100-year flow rate (0.2 cfs). Rational Method calculations for
these flow rates can be found in Appendix B. An internal pump will be used
to release controlled flows from the vault at the allowable pre-developed 100-
year flow rate of 0.2 cfs. These flows will be discharged via a sidewalk chase
located near the northwest corner of the proposed building to the curb and
gutter in N. 7th Avenue.

3. Hydrologic and Hydraulic Calculations
Due to the small area of the proposed site, a single drainage basin (Basin 1)
has been delineated for the purpose of calculating the pre-developed and
proposed runoff for the site. To calculate the pre-developed flows a runoff
coefficient of 0.10 was used for unimproved areas. In the proposed condition
Basin 1 consists entirely of impervious drives, walks and roofs resulting in a
runoff coefficient of 0.95. These runoff coefficients were obtained from Table
6.6.4 in the City of Bozeman Design and Construction Standards. The
Rational Method was utilized to calculate a pre-developed 100-year peak
flow of 0.2 cfs and a proposed 100-year peak flow of 2.3 cfs Please refer to
the hydrology calculations in Appendix B. These peak flows were then used
to calculate the proposed stormwater detention volume using the Rational
Method Triangular Hydrograph Method as presented in Chapter 10 of the
HEC-22 Manual. The resulting required detention vault volume is 623.10 ft3.
The capacity of the proposed 6” sidewalk chase was analyzed to determine a
flow depth of 0.15 ft required to convey the pre-developed peak flow rate.
Please refer to the hydraulic calculations in Appendix C. Water quality will
be provided by utilizing a proprietary treatment device such as a
hydrodynamic separator or filtering system installed in the rooftop drainage
network prior to the stormwater detention vault. This system will be specified
to treat the first 0.5 inches of rainfall to remove 80% of total suspended solids
(TSS).
E. EVALUATION OF MAJOR STORM FLOOD RISKS
There are no flood hazards associated with the proposed development as the
site is located within areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance
floodplain. Furthermore the proposed drainage design and stormwater
detention vault will ensure that any potential flood hazards will be mitigated.
A finished floor elevation analysis including tributary basin delineation and
tributary flow calculations for the 100-year storm has been performed to
determine the pedestrian and vehicular ingress/egress location minimum
elevations. The finished floor analysis was prepared by Incline Civil LLC and
is dated April 11, 2025.

6.5.2 Minor and Major Drainage Systems
Every community has two distinct drainage systems, whether or not they are actually
planned or designed: 1) the Minor Drainage System and; 2) the Major Drainage System. In
combination, the two form the Total Drainage System.
The Minor Drainage System is designed to transport the runoff from more frequent storm
events with a minimum of disruption to the urban environment. For the City of Bozeman,
the Minor Storm has a 10-year recurrence interval and shall be used for the design of
stormwater interception and conveyance facilities.
Drainage systems shall also be evaluated for the Major (100-year) storm to minimize
public health and life hazards, damage to structures, and interruption to traffic and
services. Drainage interception and conveyance systems may need to be designed to
convey a portion, or all, of the Major storm runoff if Major storm runoff cannot be safely
conveyed to a suitable receiving system through natural or constructed drainageways, or
if allowable flow depths in streets cannot be achieved (see Section 6.7.2).
Stormwater drainage planning and design shall address both the Minor and Major
Drainage Systems.
Detention storage to control the rate of runoff to pre-developed levels shall be designed
for the full range of storm events (2-year through 100-year).
6.5.3 Design Storm Depth and Intensity
Rainfall depths and intensities for durations from 5 minutes to 24 hours and recurrence
intervals from 2 year to 100 years are provided in Table 6.5.1 and Table 6.5.2 respectively.

4.1.3 Synthetic Design Storm Events
Designers typically base drainage design on synthetic, rather than actual, rainfall events. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly known as the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), developed and documented 24-hour rainfall distributions, which is described in HDS-2. The SCS 24-hour rainfall distributions are widely used synthetic hyetographs and incorporate the intensity-duration relationship for the design AEP. This approach assumes that the maximum rainfall for any duration within the 24-hour duration has the same AEP. For example, a 0.1 AEP, 24-hour design storm contains the 0.1 AEP rainfall depths for all durations up to 24 hours as derived from IDF curves. Other sources of rainfall distributions exist including NOAA Atlas 14.
4.2 Peak Flow
Peak flows are generally adequate for design and analysis of conveyance systems such as storm drains or open channels. This section discusses methods used to derive peak flows for both gaged and ungaged sites. The NRCS (SCS) peak flow method is another approach that calculates peak flow as a function of drainage basin area, potential watershed storage, and the
time of concentration. This rainfall-runoff methodology separates total rainfall into direct runoff, retention, and initial abstraction. HDS-2 provides more detailed discussion on this method.
4.2.1 Statistical Analysis
Designers use statistical analysis to evaluate peak flows where adequate gaged streamflow data exist. Frequency distributions, used in the analysis of hydrologic data, include the normal distribution, the log-normal distribution, the Gumbel extreme value distribution, and the log-Pearson type III distribution. The log-Pearson type III distribution is a three-parameter gamma distribution with a logarithmic transform of the independent variable. Designers use it widely for flood analyses because the data frequently fit the assumed population. This flexibility led the
United States Geological Survey (USGS) to recommend its use as the standard distribution for flood frequency studies by all U.S. Government agencies, as documented in Bulletin 17C (England et al. 2019). Figure 4.3 presents an example of a log-Pearson type III distribution
frequency curve (FHWA 2002). Designers do not commonly use statistical analysis methods in urban drainage design due to the lack of adequate streamflow data. Consult HDS-2 (FHWA 2002) for additional information on these methods.
4.2.2 Rational Method
One of the most used approaches for the calculation of peak flow from small areas is the Rational Method, given as:
u
CIAQK= (4.1)
where: Q = Flow, ft3/s (m3/s) C = Dimensionless runoff coefficient I = Rainfall intensity, in/h (mm/h) A = Drainage area, ac (ha) Ku = Unit conversion constant, 1.0 in CU (360 in SI)
HEC-22, 4th edition Chapter 4 - Urban Hydrologic Procedures
27
4.2.2.2 Rainfall Intensity
The Rational Method uses rainfall intensity, duration, and frequency curves. Federal, State, and local agencies have developed IDF curves for locations across the country and State highway agency drainage manuals typically document those applicable within their jurisdiction. NOAA and NRCS have created regional rainfall intensity curves that can also be used to create IDF relationships for design.
4.2.2.3 Time of Concentration
Designers use many methods to estimate time of concentration including the velocity or segment method. The velocity method calculates the flow velocity within individual segments of the flow
path, e.g., sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, and open channel flow. The time of concentration can be calculated as the sum of the travel times within the various consecutive flow segments. For additional discussion on establishing the time of concentration for inlets and drainage systems, see Section 9.2.2 of this manual.
Sheet flow is the shallow runoff on a planar surface with a uniform depth across the sloping surface. This usually occurs at the headwater of streams over relatively short distances, rarely more than about 300 ft, but most often less than 100 ft (NRCS 2010). Ragan (1971) suggests sheet flow occurs for distances 72 feet or less. Designers commonly estimate sheet flow with a
version of the kinematic wave equation (FHWA 2002):
0.8
ut0.5
2
K nLtPS
= (4.3)
where: tt = Sheet flow travel time, min n = Roughness coefficient
L = Flow length, ft (m) P2 = 2-year, 24-hour rainfall depth, inches (mm) S = Surface slope, ft/ft (m/m)
Ku = Unit conversion constant, 0.42 in CU (5.5 in SI)
Table 4.2 summarizes Manning’s roughness coefficients. Equation 4.3 is the modified version of the sheet flow equation. An iterative version of the equation replaces rainfall depth with rainfall intensity (FHWA 2002).
Shallow concentrated flow develops as sheet flow concentrates in rills and then gullies of increasing proportions. Designers can estimate the velocity of such flow using a relationship between velocity and slope, as described in HDS-2 (FHWA 2002) as follows:
0.5upV = K kS (4.4)
where: V = Velocity, ft/s (m/s) k = Intercept coefficient
Sp = Slope, percent Ku = Unit conversion constant, 3.28 in CU (1.0 in SI)
Table 4.3 summarizes intercept coefficients for shallow concentrated flow.
HEC-22, 4th edition Chapter 10 - Detention and Retention
187
10.3.1.3 Rational Method Triangular Hydrograph Method
Designers can obtain a preliminary estimate of the storage volume required for peak flow attenuation from a simplified design procedure that replaces the actual inflow and outflow hydrographs with simplified triangular shapes. This method works best with the Rational Method. Figure 10.5 illustrates the procedure. The area above the outflow hydrograph and inside the inflow hydrograph represents the estimated storage volume:
S ii o
V =0.5 t (q q )− (10.4)
where: Vs = Storage volume estimate, ft3 (m3) qi = Peak inflow rate into the basin, ft3/s (m3/s)
qo = Peak outflow rate out of the basin, ft3/s (m3/s) ti = Duration of basin inflow, s
The duration of basin inflow equals two times the time of concentration. The triangular hydrograph procedure, originally described by Boyd (1981), compares favorably with more complete design procedures involving reservoir routing.
