CVE 3741 - Design of Stormwater Management Systems

• Explain the federal, state, and local regulations that govern developments
• Access the local, state, and federal resources that facilitate storm water management systems design
• Design conventional urban storm water facilities (e.g., vegetated swales, gutters, storm inlets, storm sewers, outfalls, culverts)
• Design permanent best management practices to control flow and protect water quality (e.g., wet ponds, infiltration basins)
• Design construction site erosion control practices to protect water quality
• Develop written storm water management and construction site erosion control plans
• Devise a storm water management system to achieve regulatory compliance and maximize sustainability
• Determine water quantity impacts of development activities through modeling (e.g. HydroCAD)
• Determine water quality impacts of development activities through modeling (e.g., SLAMM)

• None

• Case study on how changes in land surface affect storm runoff (water quality and water quantity)
• Federal, state, and local regulations that govern development, identifying performance goals and permitting requirements for storm water management (project and watershed/community)
• Examples of stormwater management practices
• Field trip to see installed storm water management practices
• Hydrologic cycle and water budget
• Watershed boundary delineation, geometry, and characterization of soils and land use
• Rainfall selection criteria and design considerations
• Travel time and time of concentration methods, segmental flow analysis, and NRCS lag equation
• Runoff depth and peak flow methods
• Hydrograph and flow routing analyses
• Design of traditional rural-section permanent practices (vegetated and non-vegetated swales)
• Design of traditional urban-section permanent practices (gutter sections, street inlets, storm sewers, manholes, culverts, outlets, riprap)
• Design of green infrastructure permanent practices (bioretention facilities and other infiltration devices/practices)
• Multiple event detention design including detention volume estimates, multiple stage outlet flow analysis, and storage and outlet design procedure
• Modeling of permanent storm water practices to assess and design conveyance capacity and peak flow rate attenuation
• Modeling of permanent storm water practices to assess and design volume reduction and water quality control
• Case study on how modeling is used to assess impacts and design watershed-scale programs to achieve desired performance goals (TMDL/NPDES drivers)
• Design of soft and hard engineered shoreland protection
• Operations and maintenance of storm water controls
• Whole life cost of storm water controls (case study)
• Modeling of construction site erosion control practices (case study)
• Design term project (engineering review of construction site erosion control and permanent stormwater management plans for a land development project)
