SUPPLEMENTARY 
DESIGN GUIDELINES 
 
Section 1.0 - General Design Considerations 
Add the following: 
 
1.7 - Decommissioning 
 
A. 
Existing Pipe Utilities 
 
Unless otherwise approved, all abandoned pipes within public rights-of-way shall be removed and 
disposed of off-site as per applicable environmental requirements. Trench backfilling shall be performed 
in accordance with trench backfilling procedures required for new pipe installation. All disturbed 
surfaces shall be restored to equal or better conditions. 
B. 
Existing Sanitary Lift Stations 
 
The preferred method of decommissioning abandoned sanitary lift stations includes total removal of the 
pump tank (wet well) and all associated works within the tank, electrical and instrumentation 
components, and abandoning and permanently sealing off all pipes connecting to the tank. If a concern 
exists that the removal of the below ground tank may cause soil instability and disturbance to the 
existing nearby structures, the tank may be abandoned in place after the following procedure is 
followed: 
 
• 
Thoroughly flush the tank and all connecting pipes, 
• 
Isolate pump tank entirely from all piping, electrical and instrumentation connections by 
disconnecting and removing services and sealing off the pipes with concrete grout or similar 
material, 
• 
Strip the inside area of the tank off of any metallic and non-metallic components, 
• 
Remove tank lid and cut off and remove tank wall to minimum 1m depth below finished surface 
• 
Drill 8 horizontal symmetrical 100mm dia. holes per each metre of height of remaining tank in 
place starting at the bottom of the tank, and 
• 
Fill the tank with lightly compacted clean river sand and install a single layer of non-woven filter 
fabric against each drilled hole.

WATER DISTRIBUTION 
SECTION 2.0 
PAGE 1 OF 1

water distribution system provider in the Town of View Royal. For all developments that include non- 
single family properties fire flow calculations must be submitted in accordance with the latest Fire 
Underwriters Survey with confirmation provided by the Capital Regional District that sufficient fire flow 
exists to protect the proposed development.

Section 4.0 – Storm Drainage  
 
4.3.2 – Stormwater Design Criteria 
 
Replace the portion of Section 4.3.2.1 specifically describing the Minor System and Major System, with the 
following: 
 
Minor System – Consists of pipe, gutters, catch basins, driveway and local road culverts, local roadside 
ditches and open channels, to be designed to contain flows up to a 10-year return period to minimize 
inconvenience of frequent surface runoffs.  
 
All minor system components are to be sized to ensure that the hydraulic grade line of 10-year frequency 
flows remain below ground surface, and the flood protection elevation of dwellings, or within bank limits in 
the case of open channels and bio-swales.   
 
Major System – Consists of surface flood paths, roadways, trunk storm sewers and culvert crossings under 
collect roads, arterial roads and provincial highways, watercourses, and bypass structures for onsite and 
offsite stormwater management facilities, to be designed to safely convey design flows up to a 1:100-year 
return period, as directed by the Town, to minimize damage to life and property. 
 
4.3.4 
Climate Change Impact Considerations 
 
Add to the end of this section the following: 
 
The Engineer of Record shall disclose and describe the climate change approach used in the design of the 
storm drainage infrastructure. The “do nothing approach” is not accepted for permanent infrastructure. 
 
4.7 – Runoff Analysis Method 
 
Replace this section with the following:   
 
Rainwater management design should be carried out using one or more of the following methods as indicated 
below. Disclosure of methodology used and calculations must be submitted with designs. The Rainfall Intensity 
Duration curve is provided for reference in the figure below. 
 
• Rational Method:  Applicable in most cases for the purposes of conveyance design only and for areas less 
than 10 hectares in size. The rational method must not be used for designing retention or detention 
structures in any case, including but not limited to the development of flow rates, infiltration rates, and 
routed storage volumes.   
• Hydrograph Method:  Applicable for complex systems involving multiple catchments with highly variable land 
use conditions, where flow attenuation features are involved (e.g. detention pond, constructed wetland), or 
for gross areas exceeding 10 hectares.  Computer models shall be SWMM based, or as otherwise approved by 
the Town of View Royal.  
• Mass Balance: Volumetric based computations may be used to supplement flow analysis for the design of 
water quality treatment facilities and Best Management Practices intended for rainwater retention. 
 
Note:  Aside from the runoff analysis method applied, hydraulic grade lines and associated system performance 
shall consider governing downstream hydraulic boundary conditions, which may be available from the Town of 
View Royal.  If not available from the Town, or available to the degree necessary to support the design, 
additional off-site analysis may be required.

SECTION 12.0

CONSOLIDATED TO MAY 2025 
 
Planting holes must be free draining to the extent that rainwater and/or supplemental water does not 
accumulate and drown the roots. If necessary, the subgrade must be graded with positive slope and/or 
drainage services such as but not limited to percolation holes, french drains or drain pipes must be 
installed to suit. 
 
Watering of the root ball must be undertaken immediately after planting and then for the first growing 
season so that the root ball is thoroughly wetted once per week (minimum). 
 
The tree should be pruned to ANSI A3000 standards after establishment and from time to time to train it 
for structure to conform to the form of the species and to respond to growing site constraints. All pruning 
must be undertaken by or performed under the direction of a qualified arborist certified by the 
International Society of Arboriculture and who demonstrates proficiency in pruning. 
 
The mulched root zone should be refreshed annually to replace the mulch. This area must be weeded by 
hand to avoid trunk and root damage from string trimmers or mowers. 
 
In situations where designed boulevard area does not provide adequate rooting volume, structural soil 
and/or Silva Cells may be utilized to provide further soil volume. Silva Cells are considered an experimental 
product at the time of publication of this manual. The use of Silva Cells must be approved by the Town of 
View Royal prior to installation on public property. Design and installation techniques are to be provided 
by Silva Cell suppliers and approved by the Town of View Royal. 
 
Root barriers must be installed at the time of planting whenever a tree is installed within 2 metres of a 
sidewalk or other hardscape features, excluding roads; or where specified on approved drawings. Barriers 
must be made commercially, produced for the purpose of deflecting roots downward, and be of a 
specification approved by the Town of View Royal. Placement of root barriers must be as per 
manufacturer’s instructions. 
 
Tree Spacing 
Boulevard trees are to be spaced at 8-10m [26’-33’] on centre. 
 
Clearances 
The following table is the guidelines for minimum clearances for all of boulevard trees. Clearances shall 
be measured from the closest edge of the listed items to the centre of tree: 
 
Light Standards 
4 metres 
Electrical / Communication Poles 
1.5 metres
