Alternatives for Stormwater Runoff Control in Southeastern Michigan.

Abstract

The scope of this report includes the evaluation of five alternate schemes of storm water collection and storage. An integrated collection system consisting of interceptors, force mains and deep tunnels is utilized in all schemes. Storage for the various schemes is provided by surface reservoirs, mined reservoirs or a combination of both. The collection system is designed for peak flows generated from a 10-year storm. The regional storage system is designed to contain a volume equal to a run-off of 2.1 inches, and the local storage facilities are designed to contain a volume equal to a run-off of 2.7 inches over their respective contributing drainage areas.
