Stormwater Design Report- Block 9 Apartments Page 2
10/15/2024
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this report is to detail the stormwater design for the proposed multi-family residential
development on Lots 1 & 2, Block 9 of Blackwood Groves Subdivision. This report is intended to
supplement Block 9 Apartments site plan submittal. This project involves the construction of three 10-
plex apartment buildings, adjacent parking areas, sidewalks, and landscaped area.
Block 9 is surrounded on 2 sides by a newly constructed city standard street and alley (Arbor Way) to the
East & North, Victoria Street to the south, and a City Park (Park 3) to the west. Lots 1 & 2 total 1.4 acres
and encompass the central portion of Block 9.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Except for the utilities (water, sewer, gas, electric) stubbed into the Block, the project site is currently
vacant. The site currently slopes from south to north at ~1.5%-2%. The seasonal high groundwater
elevation on the site was estimated to be at ~3.2-4.5’ below existing grade of Arbor Way (Alley) based on
the groundwater monitoring results provided in the subdivision stormwater report by C&H Engineering.
The underlying subdivision stormwater design report accounted for lots 1 & 2 to be built out as dense
residential, assigning a modified rational method runoff coefficient of C=0.75. There is a subdivision pond
in the NE corner of Block 9, which is sized to take runoff from lots 1&2 at the assigned runoff coefficient.
PROPOSED STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS
As mentioned previously, the stormwater improvements for the subdivision infrastructure were designed
to accommodate runoff from the project site. Based on the calculations in Appendix B of this report, the
inlet and storm pipe in the alley adjacent to the project site can accommodate the runoff from the 25-
year storm event, while the subdivision pond can accommodate the runoff volume from the 10-year 2-
hour storm event. The subdivision pond was also designed with a weir in the outlet structure to retain the
0.5” runoff reduction volume from the drainage areas contributing to the pond. Therefore, the proposed
design does not include any stormwater retention or treatment facilities on the project site. Instead,
grading, and a series of inlets and piping are proposed to help convey runoff from the site to the
stormwater infrastructure in the adjacent alley. Refer to Appendix C for portions of the subdivision design
report that pertains to this project.
The project site was included in drainage basin 6A of the subdivision stormwater design. Drainage Basin
6A includes the project site, the alley, and lots 10-21 of Block 9. Drainage Basin 6A ultimately drains to
Detention Pond 6 in the northeast corner of the subdivision. The runoff coefficient assigned to lots 1 & 2
in the subdivision design was Dense Residential (C=0.75). After using the rational method, the weighted
C coefficient the proposed improvements to lots 1&2 came out to 0.72. Given the assigned runoff
coefficient for these lots in the subdivision design report is higher than the weighted C coefficient, it is
assumed that the pond has adequate capacity to store the runoff generated by the project site. Therefore,
no additional stormwater runoff will need to be stored on the project site.

The project site was divided into 2 drainage basins. Drainage basin 1 is 0.74 AC and consists of the back
half of each structure and sidewalks running adjacent to Park 3. A storm system is designed to run along
the property line behind the structures draining to Basin 1. This system will connect to the inlet 3-25 in
the alley and send runoff to the subdivision retention pond 6 in the NE corner of Block 9. The storm
system’s elevations and slopes can be found in the approved Block 9 apartments site plan (sheet C5.0). A
map delineating the drainage area is included in appendix A and the runoff calculations are included in
appendix B.
Drainage basin 2 is 0.66 AC and consists of the alley side of all three structures, the driveways, and parking
areas. All runoff generated from drainage basin 2 sheet flows to the alley, which has a reverse crown that
carries the runoff north to a low point at inlet 3-25. Below is a table summarizing both drainage basins:

INTRODUCTION
The Blackwood Groves Subdivision is a proposed 119-acre development located at the south
side of the City of Bozeman. 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. This report is intended to evaluate the
drainage design for Phase 3 of the development.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The existing property is currently vacant and is being used for agricultural purposes. The
property is bounded by S. 19th Avenue to the west, vacant agricultural land and Alder Creek
Subdivision to the north, Sacajawea Middle School to the east, and vacant agricultural land to the
south. The property generally slopes from south to north at 1%-2%. Several agricultural
irrigation ditches, and watercourses cross the property. Based on site topography, stormwater
runoff on the existing site currently drains to 4 of these water features that cross the property via
overland sheet flow. A large portion of the approximately 119-acre agricultural property to the
south of the project also sheet flows onto the project site, draining to these same 4 water features.
PRE-DEVELOPMENT DRAINAGE AREAS
Stormwater runoff from the proposed site improvements will primarily be controlled and treated
through the use of several proposed detention ponds that will release runoff into these 4 water
features. These detention ponds will discharge runoff into these water features at the pre-
development runoff rates that currently contribute to these water features from the existing site.
In order to determine the pre-development runoff rates, pre-development drainage areas were
delineated for each water feature on the subject property. These drainage areas are shown on the
“Pre-Development Drainage Area Plan” in Appendix A.
City of Bozeman GIS contours were used in order to determine the portion of the property to the
south of the site that sheet flows onto the subject property. These contours are shown in yellow
on the Pre-Development Drainage Area Plan. As shown by the slight overlap of these GIS
Engineering end Surveying Inc. BLACKWOOD GROVES SUBDIVISION – STORMWATER DESIGN REPORT
#190390 3
contours with the contours produced from the topographic survey that C&H Engineering
performed of the project site, these GIS contours match extremely well with the contours from
the survey.
EX DA #1 accounts for runoff from the subject property that currently drains to the irrigation
ditch located along the east side of the S. 19th Avenue right-of-way, labeled “Irrigation Ditch –
West” for the purposes of this report. EX DA #2 accounts for runoff draining to the irrigation
ditch running east/west along the north property boundary, labeled “Irrigation Ditch – North” for
the purposes of this report. This drainage area also collects runoff from a large portion of the
property to the south of the project site. EX DA #3 accounts for runoff contributing to the
irrigation ditch located at the eastern side of the property that continues through Alder Creek
Subdivision to the north. This ditch is labeled as “Irrigation Ditch – Center” for the purposes of
this report. The final drainage area, EX DA #4, accounts for runoff from the far eastern portion
of the site that drains to the two watercourses that converge and drain north into the park in Alder
Creek Subdivision. These watercourses are labeled as “Unnamed Watercourse – Center” and
“Unnamed Watercourse – East” for the purposes of this report. This drainage area also collects
runoff from a portion of the property to the south of the project site. Calculations for the time of
concentration, and pre-development runoff rates for these drainage areas can be found in
Appendix B.
STORM SEWER FACILITIES DESIGN
Stormwater runoff from the proposed improvements will be conveyed via curb and gutter
channel flow to a series of curb chases and storm sewer inlets. It will then be routed through
storm drainage pipes to detention and retention ponds for storage. The detention ponds will
release runoff at pre-development runoff rates into 4 of the irrigation ditches and watercourses
that flow through the property. Pre and Post development Drainage Area Maps are included in
Appendix A, and calculations for pond sizing for each of the post development drainage areas
(total area, weighted C factor, required and provided storage volumes, and discharge rates) are
included in Appendix C.
Engineering end Surveying Inc. BLACKWOOD GROVES SUBDIVISION – STORMWATER DESIGN REPORT
#190390 4
Storm sewer facilities were sized for the 25-yr storm using Manning’s Equation, and for each
inlet, the contributing area, gutter capacity, weighted C factor, and time of concentration were
calculated. These values were input into Manning’s Equation to check capacity and flow
characteristics for inlets, storm drain pipes, and curb gutters. All curb gutters were designed to
maintain 0.15’ freeboard per C.O.B. Design Manual Section IV.C.5.
POST-DEVELOPMENT DRAINAGE AREAS
This phase of the project was divided into 5 drainage areas based on the retention or detention
ponds that these areas will eventually drain to. These drainage basins are further divided based
on the proposed use within each area. Phase 3 consists of Drainage Basins 3, 4, 5, 7, & 10. The
infrastructure for Drainage Basins 5, 7, & 10 were accounted for in the C.O.B. approved Phase
1&2 design. The City approved Phase 2 design report is included in Appendix F.
Each area type was assigned a C-value based on the proposed use. Several of these C-values (i.e.
open land, and low/medium density residential) were taken from Table I-1 in the City of
Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications, while the remainder were calculated based on the
impervious and landscaped cover ratios anticipated in each area. The C-value for each right-of-
way type (local, collector, alley, angled-parking) were calculated based on the ratio of
impervious to landscaped area of the standard cross-section of these rights-of-way.
The dense residential C-value for the lots that are proposed for multi-family developments was
calculated by reviewing the impervious/landscaped ratios for the proposed layouts for several of
these lots, and averaging the C-values. This produced a C-value of 0.75, which is more
conservative than the dense residential value of 0.50 from Table I-1 in the city standards. Several
of the dense residential lots have the space to provide onsite stormwater management. Therefore,
these lots, located in Drainage Area 8 and a portion of Drainage Area 9 (DA #9C), have been
assigned a reduced C-value of 0.40. These drainage areas were analyzed and accounted for in the
Phase 1 stormwater design report and therefore are not analyzed in this design report. The C-
value for the several commercial blocks that are intended to be the development’s “town center”
was conservatively assumed to be 0.95, or completely impervious. This C-value of 0.95 is more
Engineering end Surveying Inc. BLACKWOOD GROVES SUBDIVISION – STORMWATER DESIGN REPORT
#190390 5
conservative than the commercial neighborhood C-value of 0.60 from Table I-1 in the city
standards. The C-values for each area type are provided in the following table:
Table 1: C-Values
Area Type C-Value
ROW – Local 0.76
ROW – Collector 0.70
ROW – Alley 0.80
ROW – Angled 0.93
Residential – Low/Med 0.35
Residential - Dense 0.75
Residential –Dense (Reduced C) 0.40
Commercial 0.95
Open Space 0.20
Park 0.20
The extents of the post development drainage areas can be seen on the drainage area map
included in Appendix A. The proposed drainage area map further subdivides the drainage areas
(4A, 4B, 4C etc.) based on which inlet they are draining to. In addition, time of concentration
flow paths for each sub-area are depicted on the proposed drainage area map. It should be noted
that overland flow from the right-of-way line to the curb flow line used a composite C value of
0.50 in the time of concentration calculations. The C value was based on a ratio of the landscape
boulevard to hardscape sidewalk. Curb inlets were spaced to provide adequate gutter flow
capacity and having at least 0.15-feet of freeboard per C.O.B. Design Manual Section IV.C.5.
Calculations showing the peak runoff value as well as the determined gutter capacity for the sub-
areas are included in Appendix C. Additionally, storm sewer pipes were sized to accommodate
the 25-year storm flows. Peak flows used for sizing the storm sewer pipes were assessed at each
pipe junction. Pipe capacity calculations can be found in Appendix C.

STORMWATER POND DESIGN
Detention Ponds 3, 4, & 5 have been sized according to City of Bozeman Design Standards.
Pond 5 was installed as a temporary retention pond during the Phase 2 infrastructure process, and
Pond 5 will be expanded in Phase 3 and act in detention. In accordance with the design
standards, the ponds were sized to retain the runoff generated from the first 0.5” of rainfall,
otherwise known as the Runoff Reduction Volume (RRV.). The detention ponds are also sized to
limit discharge to pre-development rates for the 10-year storm event, while the retention pond is
designed to store the runoff volume of the 10-year storm event. Each pond has been designed
with 4:1 side slopes and a max. water storage depth of 1.5’.
The detention ponds have also been designed with outlet structures containing a slotted weir to
control the discharge rate from the ponds. Calculations used for sizing each pond can be found in
Appendix D. Pond storage capacities were calculated using volume surfaces in AutoCAD Civil
3D.

GROUNDWATER CONSIDERATIONS
Groundwater monitoring wells were installed across the subject property in 2019, and were
monitored throughout the spring/summer of 2019 and spring of 2020. The results generally
showed that seasonal high groundwater (SHGW) peaked in early April, and ranged from 7” to
3.5’ below existing grade. This information was used to generate a SHGW elevation surface in
AutoCAD to reference during the stormwater design for the subdivision. Additional

measurements along the northern property boundary were taken in the spring of 2021 to refine
the SHGW surface in that area. All proposed ponds in the development are set with the bottom of
pond elevation above the SHGW elevation in the pond footprint. The pond elevations and
approximate SHGW elevations are listed in Table 3 below. The groundwater monitoring results
can be found in Appendix D.

STORMWATER FACILITIES DESCRIPTION
This property includes the following stormwater facilities:
Vegetated Swales: Swales should be maintained as detailed on the approved “Block 9 Civil Site
Plan Set” by Alpine Surveying & Engineering. These swales should be fully vegetated with grass
that is trimmed regularly. Swales should maintain a minimum depth of 6” and should have a 2%
longitudinal slope to convey water to storm chases or inlets.
Storm Sewer Network: The site storm sewer network is comprised of ADS inline drains, drain
basins, and ADS HP storm pipe that conveys runoff to the storm manhole in Arbor Way. This
system is installed as depicted on the approved “Block 9 Civil Site Plan Set” by Alpine Surveying &
Engineering.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The stormwater facilities on site will be inspected and maintained based on the below schedule.
Inspection and maintenance will be performed by the responsible party, the facility employees, or a
contracted third party.
Inspection: Routine inspection of stormwater facilities will include visual inspection to ensure the
facilities are functioning properly and there are no debris accumulated in or clogging the
stormwater facilities. Inspections should also be performed after major storm events producing
approximately 0.5” of rainfall in a 24-hour period. These inspections shall include observations of
the stormwater facilities for areas of erosion or areas of ponding, and removal of accumulated
trash or debris in facilities.
Maintenance: Maintenance shall be performed as necessary based on inspections, and at regular
intervals throughout the year based on the schedule below. Routine Maintenance will generally
include removal of trash, overgrown vegetation, grass clippings, leaves, accumulated sediment,
and obstructions in stormwater facilities. Major maintenance will be scheduled as necessary to
repair or replace damaged storm structures, pipes, and chases, and to revegetate areas of erosion
or dead vegetation.
