Quantity of Surface Water Runoff from South Plants Area Watersheds on Rocky Mountain Arsenal
Abstract
This report is a study conducted of the south plants chemical manufacturing area on Rocky Mountain Arsenal to determine the quantity of water leaving the area as surface runoff. Since the south plants were originally constructed over a high point on the arsenal, surface water runoff flows in many directions from the arsenal, surface water runoff flows in many directions from the site. Ten watersheds were identified in the south plants area and separate calculations were conducted for each watershed. Design storms representing a 24 hour precipitation event with return frequencies of 2, 5, 20, 25 and 100 years were used to determine the total volume of runoff and the maximum flow rate that could occur from the plants watersheds. The flow and volume calculations for the south watersheds take into considerations the effects of existing storm sewer networks.
