INTRODUCTION
This design report provides the criteria used as a basis of design for the sewer lines proposed to
service The Depot at 112 South Church Ave. This report is submitted in conjunction with the
completed plans and specifications to the City of Bozeman and is organized following the outline
recommended in DEQ-2, Chapter 10. Section 11.1, Engineering Reports.
The proposed building is located at 112 South Church Ave and was previously a residential home.
The site is approximately 0.304 acres. This project is located within the City of Bozeman,
Montana.
1 PROBLEM DEFINED
This project involves the installation of one 6-inch sewer services that will tie into the existing
8-inch sewer main in South Church Ave. Sewer facilities included in this project will be
designed with adequate capacity to handle flow of the maximum peak hour flow rate within
the building, including residents, customers and employees.
2 DESIGN CONDITIONS
The proposed building will be located on property zoned B-3 (Downtown Business District) per
the City of Bozeman’s zoning map. The capacity requirement for the sewer main extension is
calculated as follows:
Proposed Average Daily Flow
The proposed building is mixed residential (12 units), retail (1,663 sq. ft.) and office (4,021 sq.
ft.). The proposed demands for each space are based on Table V-1 in COB Design Standards
and Specification Policies. The assumptions for each of the spaces are as follows:
Assumptions:
· New sanitary sewer lines to serve residential areas shall be designed to accommodate
an average daily flow of 2.17 people per dwelling unit and 64.4 gal/capita/day. (COB
Design Standards and Specifications Policy)
· An infiltration rate of 150 gal/acre/day shall be added to all flow calculations when
designing new sewers. (COB Design Standards and Specifications Policy)
· The demand for commercial can be estimated from DEQ – 4 Table 3.1-1. A customer
has a demand of 3 gal/capita/day and an employee of 10 gal/capita/day. The demand for
an office from DEQ-4 Table 3.1-1 is 13 gal/employee/day
4
· Retail has total square footage of 1,663 SF
o Proposed commercial space has estimated occupancy of 100 SF/person
o Population: 17
o Employees estimated: 3
· Office has total square footage of 4,021 SF
o Proposed office space has estimated occupancy of 100 SF/person
o Population: 40
Based on these criteria the demands predicted for the project are:
Average Day Demand
Residential:
12 units x 2.17 persons x 64.4 gpd = 1,677 gpd
Retail:
17 customers x 3 gpd = 51 gpd
3 employees x 10 gpd = 30 gpd
Office:
40 employees x 13 gpd = 520 gpd
Total Average Day Demand = 2,278 gpd or 1.6 gpm
Peaking Factor
The peaking factor is calculated to be 4.25
Peak Hour Flow
Average Day Demand x PF = 2,278 gpd x 4.25=9,682 gpd or 6.7 gpm
Infiltration
0.304 ac x 150 gal/acre/day = 45.6 gpd or 0.03 gpm
Total Peak Flow
9,682 gpd + 45.6 gpd = 9,728 gpd or 6.8 gpm

Please refer to the table below for comparison between maximum pipe capacity for the existing
main and proposed flows to see that the proposed piping is adequate.

(gpm)
PROPOSED CONVEYANCE
*MAXIMUM FLOW

Property Service 6.8 6-inch sewer main @ 2.0% 379
Church Ave Main 6.8 8-inch sewer main @ 0.4% 370
*Roughness coefficient (n) of 0.013
3 IMPACT ON EXISTING WASTEWATER FACILITIES
The engineering report indicates that the predicted flows for the proposed buildings exceed
those generated by the former residential use of the site. However, the sewer main along S.
Church Avenue has not been identified as having any capacity limitations. The anticipated
additional flow represents approximately 1.8% of the existing pipe’s capacity, which is sufficient
to accommodate the proposed development.
4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project involves the installation of 30 feet of 6-inch sewer service for the proposed building
which ties into an existing 8-inch main in S. Church Ave.
5 DESIGN CRITERIA
Design criteria including average and peak flows as well as sewer depth information were
provided in previous sections. The proposed sewer service conforms to the State’s minimum
vertical and horizontal separation criteria for sewer services.
The proposed conventional gravity sewer system is to be constructed to the City of Bozeman
and the 7th edition of Montana Public Works standard specifications (MPWSS). The sewer
service shall be 8-inch diameter SDR 35 polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
6 SITE INFORMATION
The project site has been zoned B-3 by the City of Bozeman. The proposed site has existing
grades of less than 4% slope. The site is described as 100% Urban Land (USDA Soil Survey).
The ground water flows generally from the south to the north based on general groundwater flow
in the valley. The groundwater depth at this site is seasonally varied but from geotechnical borings
groundwater was not encountered at 9 feet deep as observed in multiple test pits in November.

7 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There are no expected environmental impacts from this sewer main extension, as the City of
Bozeman Wastewater Treatment Plant has adequate capacity for the proposed development.
