Stormwater Management Plan

Rain Garden Capacity Calculations

| Catchment Area | Contributing Impervious Area (sq. m.) | Design Storm Runoff Volume Contributing to Rain Garden (cu. m./day) | Planter Growing Medium Depth (m.) | Stormwater Treatment Capacity per sq. m. of Rain Garden (cu. m./day) | Rain Garden Area (sq. m.) | Rain Garden Capacity (cu. m./day) | Excess (+) or Deficient (-) Capacity (cu. m./day) | Soil Volume (cu. m.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Catchment A | 526.0 | 26.3 | 0.50 | 0.7 | 46.5 | 31.6 | 5.3 | 23.2 |
| Catchment B | 3013.1 | 150.7 | 0.45 | 0.8 | 75.0 | 57.8 | -92.9 | 33.8 |
| Total | 3539.2 | 177.0 | 121.5 | 89.4 | -87.6 | 57.0 |
Assumptions
- Design storm is a 2 year storm event which equals 5 cm of water, in a 24 hr period.
- Rain Garden design based on 100 - 200 mm live ponding plus 20% of the sand/compost growing medium volume (assuming growing medium has 20% void space) with a minimum infiltration rate of 2 cm/hour (or 48 cm per day), via perforated underdrain.
